Feed Children for
Brain and Muscle
The Food May Determine the Success
of After Life.

Many a child grown to maturity
can look back and see where tender
hearted parents permanently injured
or weakened it by harmful indulgence
in food.
Irregular feeding, meat-eating and
unsuitable heavy food in childhood
have undoubtedly laid the foundation
for invalidism and blighted the ca
reer of many who might otherwise
have achieved success.
Children like the sweet. satisfying
aourishment of wheat, which contains
every element needed for perfect nu-
triton from infancy to old age. The
best of all eatables for growing chill
dren is Malta Vita, the one perfect
wheat food which they eat with genu-
inc relish and never get tired of.
Malta-Vita combines the delicious
taste of crisp. nut brown, whole
wheat flakes with the natural sweet of
grain starch converted into grape-su-
gar by pure malt extract. 1t con-
tains no glucose. cheap syrups or 9th
err foreign sweetening. II is ready TO

If something is needed between

the thing because it is perfectly pure
