Delicious
and Naurishiug'

In making up lunch for picnickers,
some form Of substantial food that
can not easily be injured in transit,
should be supplied, and the : most
IDEAL article for that purpose is Grape
Nuts. This food comes in a Is cent
package, is already thoroughly cook
cd and can be used either dry or
with the addition of some milk or
cream.
Grape-Nuts food is used by some
eplcures in frying fish. for it adds a
delightful favour and is naturally SUI
perior to the ordinary crumbed crack
yrs or corn meal for this purpose
IN addition to the convenience of
Grape-Nuts food, its highly concen-
tfated food value should not be lost
sight of.
