Why Graham Crackers Are HeaIthfui

Why Graham Crackers Are HeaIthfui.
Graham flour is the whole kernel
of the wheat, ground without boiling
or, in othe words, without being sifted
through boiling cloths
Being the whole of the wheat. it
| therefore contains all the nutrimcnt Of
| the wheat, and has the additional VIZ.
| tue of increasing the activity of the
digestion
Graham crackers are the most de
| licious food made from this -four, and
are especially desirable for persons of
sedentary habits or occupation, be
cause their stimulating effect material
| ly helps the digestion.
The use of Graham crackers is also
a convenient way of furnishing variety
to the diet, which alone helps greatly
| toward good appetite and digestion.
| The Graham crackers baked by the
National Biscuit company are different
in flavor and better than any OF the
Old-fashioned kinds They are made
scientifically by perfected processes,
which preserves the natural sweetness
and goodness of the wheat, and gives
them a delicious nutty flavor entirely
lacking in the Graham crackers made
in the old crude way. They are packed
by the National Biscuit company IL
moisture and dust proof packages, and
are consequently not only crisp, fresh
and clean, but have lost none of their
original flavor
| A package within easy reach of the
children and a package on the table
at every meal will do much toward
keeping the family in good health
and spirits. To get them, simply ask
anywhere for q package of Red Label
Graham Crackers made by the Ma
tional Biscuit company
