The Harrison times., 1911-01-21

Distortion No. I stated that we have
i7,ean accustomed to advertise Grape Nuts
land Postum as "cure-alls for everything.
: II has never been the policy of this
ECompany to advertise GrapeNuts or Pos
tum to cure anything
4 We say that in cases where coffee disa,,
.grees and is causing sickness its dismissal
Twill remove the cause of the trouble, and
1--we suggest the use OF Postum for the
treason that it furnishes a hot palatable
hnonng beverage, and contains natural
elements from the grain which can be
FUSED by nature to assist in rebuilding
herve centers that coffee may have broken
ldown.
4 Likewise Grape Nuts food does not
Icure ANYTHING, but it does assist nature
tremendously in rebuilding, provided the
N hmdipestible food that has been used IS
discontinued and GrapeNuts taken in its
Iphce
I Charge No. states that the passage
tof the National Food & Drugs Act COM
lpelled us TO drop from the packages some
assertions regarding the nutritive value
. Iof Grape-Nuts,
We have never been -"compelled" to
make any change
4 Since the beginning Il has been a univer-
seal rule to print clearly on every package
exactly what the contents are made OF.
Before the passage Of the Pure Food
naw the packages stated that Grape-Nuts
flood was made Of wheat and barley
5 We did not esteem the small amount
Aof salt and yeast as of value enough to
speak Of but after the new Law came
Nm we became as technical as the Off
!cials at Washington and added the words
: no recollection of being asked to,
We believed that our statement that
sGrape-Nuts will supply elements to nour.
,ish the brain and nerve centers is true
land bring authorities to support the fact
Y Some etate chemists believed this a
psrross exaggera,ion and nasmuch rs the
VEoou i,epS. Mt Washington could easily
marass .grocers, pending trial on the
i khisputed question, we concluded that
Sshnuch the better way would be to elm
9linate from our packages such claims.
I fhowever certain we may be that the
claims are true,
: Another statement objected to read os
Aollows;
4 1'The systom will absorb greater
Jnmount OF nourshment from one pound
aof Grape-Nuts than from ten pounds Of
I'meat, wheat, oats, or bread"
Some Department chemists deceive
themselves as well as the public
Z ~Caloried" is the word which defines a
kunit OF heat determined by the amount
necessary Co raise one lilogram of water
Zone degree centigrade, On this basis a
ktable OF calories Is prepared showing the
s0ewentage Of different kinds Of food.
Ef3uttcr shows 500; GrapcNuts 500;
hnik 070. Remember the statement on
t,he package spoke Of the .nourishment tho
\ s-vstem would absorb, but did not speak OF
lie calories Of heat contained in il, for
ihe heat Is not nourishment, and the
,tnourishment cannot be judged by the
humber of heat units notwithstendin
fhe fact that certain chemists would have
the public believe so.
4 As an illustrations Attempt to feed q
tnan sixty days on butter alone, with It's
4 On cnlores. The man would die be
tore the experiment had run sixty days
Z Then, take Grape.Nuts with 800 and
milk with 070,-the two combined equal
q 66-a6out one.half the number Of .a!lo'
q les contained in butter. The man fed FOR
4xty days on this food would be well
rourished, and could live not only sixty
