SENSE ABOUT FOOD
Fsets About Food Worth knowine.

II Is a serious question sometimes to
know just what to eat when a per
sons stomach is out of order and most
foods trouble.
Grape-Nuts food a be taken at any
time with the certainty that II will
digest. Actual experience Of people 10
valuable to anyone interested In foods.
A Terre Haute woman writes: Il
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 l would wish | never had to
eat anything.
Il was urged to try Grape-Nuts and
since using 1t | do not have to starve
myself any more, but l can eat II at
any time and feel nourished and salts
fed. dyspepsia is a thing of the past,
and | am now strong and well.
My husband also had an experience
with Grape-Nuts. He was very weak
and sickly in the spring. Could O
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 on ordinary food and use
Grape-Nuts. 1t was positively surpris
ing to see the change in him. He grew
better right on. 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 IL.
| am satisfied that II is because OF
the great nourishing elements in
Grape-Nuts."

1t Is a pity that people do not know
what to feed their children. There are
