provided us with one single article Of
food containing all of these fourteen
elements in the exact proportions ne
cessary to supply our bodies with vi
tally, strength and heat. This food,
so wonderful in it's composition. is
wheat, and intelligent men and women
are coming to realize more and more
that in the whole of the wheat is found
the secret of health and happiness.
Rich in the nitrates, or muscle-mak-
ing elements, the carbonates, or heat
producing elements, and the phos-
pilates, or brain and nerve making
elements, the whole grain of wheat
supplies every necessity for mans body
and mind.
