Some people, unknowingly
Use up more energy
Digesting heavy foods
Taken in excess, than they
exert
In doing their regular work.
Why not economic energy?
1t means the capacity
To accomplish more,
And that means more money.
Change off from a heavy
Meat and pancake breakfast to
Some Grape Nuts and cream,
A soft boiled egg or two,
Some nice, crisp toast,
A cup of well made Postum.
See how you get through
The mornings work and have
A lot of energy left over
Which is a pleasure of itself.
Grape Nuts contains
All the food elements
From wheat and barley
For "economizing" energy.
