FIND OUT
The Kind of Food that will Keep You
Well.

The true way is to find out what is
best to eat and drink, and then culti-
vate taste for those things instead
of poisoning ourselves with improper,
indigestible food, etc.
A conservative Mass. woman writes:
Il have used GrapeNuts years for
the young and for the aged; in sick
ness and in health; at first following
directions carefully, later in variety
of ways as my taste and judgment
suggested
But its most special personal ben

matte troubles made it important for
me to change diet.
Served in this way with the addi-
tion of a cup of hot Postum and little
