HAPPY OLD AGE
Most Likely to Follow Proper Eating

As old age advances we require less
food to replace waste, and food that
will not overtax the digestive organs.
while supplying true nourishment.
Such an ideal food is found in Grape
Nuts, made OF whole wheat and barley
by long baking and action OF diastase
In the barley which changes the starch
into a most digestible sugar.
The phosphates also, placed up I'M
der the ~outer-coat Of the wheat, are
included In Grape-Nuts, but are lack
ing in white flour because the outer
coat Of the wheat darkens the -four
and is left out by the miller. These
natural phosphates are necessary to
the w~ell-balanced building of muscle,
brain and nerve cells.
