SENSE ABOUT FOOD
Facts About Food Worth Knowing.

1t is serious question sometimes to
know just what to eat when a per-
sons stomach is out of order and most
foods cause trouble.
Grape-Nuts food can be taken at any
time with the certainty that it will
digest. Actual experience of people is
valuable to anyone interested in foods.
A Terre Haute woman writes: II
had suffered with indigestion for about
four years, ever since an attack of ty-
phoid fever, and at times could eat
nothing but the very lightest food,
and then suffer such agony with my
stomach I would wish l never had to
eat anything.
II was urged to try Grape-Nuts and
since using it I do not have to starve
myself any more, but | can eat it at
any time and feel nourished and salts
fed, dyspepsia is a thing of the past,
and I am now strong and we'll.
my husband also had an experience
with Grape-Nuts. He was very weak
and sickly in the spring. Could not
attend to his work. He was under
the doctors care but medicine did not
seem to do him any good until he be-
gan to leave off ordinary food and use
Grape-Nuts. It was positively .surpris-
ing to see the change in him. He grew
better right off, and naturally he had
none but words Of praise for Grape
Nuts.
"Our boy thinks he cannot eat a
meal without Grape-Nuts, and he
learns so fast at school that his teach
er and other scholars comment on it..
I am satisfied that it is because of
the great nourishing elements in
Grape-Nuts."
There's a Reason"
1t contains the phosphate of potash
from wheat and barley which combine
with albumen to make the gray mat
ter to daily refill the brain and nerve
centers.
tits pity that people do not know
what to feed their children. There are
many mothers who give their young
,sters almost any kind of food and
when they become sick begin to pour
the medicine down them. The real
way is to stick to proper food and
be healthy and get along without med
icine and expense.
Ever read the above letter. A new
one appears from time to time. They
are genuine, true, and full of human
interest. El
