HAPPY OLD AGE
Most Likely TO Follow Proper
Enting.

Eating.
AS old age advances. we require less
food TO replace waste. and food that
will not overtax the digestive organs,
while supplying true nourishment.
Such an ideal food is found in Grape
Nuts, made of whole wheat and barley
by long baking and action of diastase
in the barley which changes the starch
into sugar
The phosphates also, placed up under
the bran-coat of the wheat, are includ-
ed in Grape Nuts, but left out of white
flour. They are necessary to the build
ing of brain and nerve cells.
