How Athletes Keen
Strong and Healthy
Their Diet Should Be a Revelation
To All Men and Women.

Physical perfection, great endurance
and unfailing health are positively es-
Sential in severe athletic work and
great attention is given to the diet.
In schools where a training table"
is provided for the athlete only the
most nutritious food is served, and in
cases where there is no training table
the athlete is advised to eat the most
healthful food only. Whether or not
he follows such advice is soon shown
by his physical condition. If the aver

iC. the laborer-took such care as to
the food he eats as the athlete does.
there would be far less of sickness and
suffering in this world.
Among athletes the food value of
whole wheat is recognized. They have
demonstrated what scientists have long
declared to he true: that the various
food elements found in wheat are the
food elements with which the blood and
muscle, the tissues and cells, the bone
and brain of the human body must he
replenished if life and perfect strength
are to be sustained.
Every nutritive element of the hest
white wheat grown is found in Malta
Vita. and il is fast becoming as popu-
lar among other people as IL long has
been among athletes.
