A GOOD BREAKFAST.
Some Persons Never Know What II
Means.

A good breakfast, a good appetite
and good digestion mean everything
to the man, woman or child who has
anything to do, and wants to get a
good start toward doing it.
A Mo. man tells of his wife's good
breakfast" and also supper, made out
of Grape-Nuts and cream. He says:
81 should like to tell you how much
good Grape-Nuts has done for my wife.
After being in poor health for the last
10 years, during part of the time
scarcely anything would stay on her
stomach long enough to nourish her,
finally at the suggestion of a friend
she tried Grape-Nuts.
Now, after about four weeks on
this delicious and nutritious food, she
has picked up most wonderfully and
seems as well as anyone can be.
Every morning she makes a good
breakfast on Grape-Nuts eaten just as
it comes from the package With cream
or milk added; and then again the
same at supper and the change in her
is wonderful.
