Charge No. 2 states that the passage
OF the National Food & Drugs Act COM
pcllri NJ 20 drop from the packages Fomo
assertions regarding the nututvc value
Of Gapc.Nuts
We have never been 'comrc''od" TO
make any change.
Since the beginning Il has been n univcr-
sal rule to print clearly ON every package
,exactlv what The comtcnl- are mldc 9l.
Before the passage Of the Pure Food
law the packages stated that Grgpc-Nut5
food was made Of wheat and hlrlcy.
We did not esteem tho small amount
OF salt and yeast as Of value enough 20
spcal, of, but after the new Law came
in we became as technical rs the Off
cials at Washington and added the words
"vcaat" and salt" although We have
no recollection Of being asked to.
We believed that our statement That
Grapc.Nuts viii supply elements to nour.
ish the brain and nerve crntcrs is true
and bring authorities 10 support the fact.
Some state chemists believed this a
gross cxaggcration and iasmuch ns the
Food Dent at Washington could easily
hnrnss grocer. pending n trial on tho
disputed question, we concluded that
much tho better way would be to elm.
inatr from our packages such claims,
however certain we may be that the
claims are true.
Another statement objected to read as
follows;
"Thc tvstcm will aha-rh greater
amount OF npurl~nmcnl from one ppLnI
of Grape-Nuts than from ten pounds Of
meat, wheat oats, or bread"
Some Department chemists deceive
themselves as well as the public.
"Calorcd" is the word which defines n
unit Of heat determined by the amount
necessary to raise one klogrnm Of water
one degree ccntigradc. On this basis n
table Of calorics is prepared showing the
percentage of different kinds Of food.
Butter shows 500; Grape. Nuts 800;
mill; 90. Remember the statement on
the package spoke OF the .nonrishmcnt thr
systcm would absorb. hut did not speak OF
he c1Iorics q heat contained in it, for
The heat is not nourishmont, and the
nourshmcnt cannot be Judged by the
number Of heat units, Notwithstanding
the fact that certain chemists would have
the public believe 50.
As an illustration: Attempt to feed n
man sixty days on butter alone. with its
$50 cnlorics The man would die be.
fore the experiment had run sixty dnys.
Then. take Grape-Nuts with 800 and
milk with 0.7O,--the two combined equal
AG6-aiout onc.half the number Of Gallo
rics contained in butter. The man fed for
sixty DAYS on this food would he well
nourished, and could live not only sixty
