STRONGER THAN MEAT
A Judges Opinion of Grape

A gentleman who has acquired a judi
cial turn OF mind from experience on The
bench out IN the Sunhower state writes
\ carefully considered opinion as to the
value or Grape-Nuts as food. He says;
ssFor the past I've years Grape-Nuts
has been q prominent feature in our bill
OF fare.
The crisp food with The delicious.
nufty favor has become an indispensa-
life.
II has proved 10 be most heaithfuI

Nuts and do not crave rich and unwhole-
some food

particularly impressed by the beneficial
effects OF Grape-Nuts when used by Ia
dies who are troubled with face blem-
fshes. skin eruptions. etc II clears up
the complexion wonderfully.
AS to It's nutritive qualities. my ex-
perfence Is that enc small dish OF Grape

lite and strengthens the power of re-
