What Is Grape-Nuts

Crspe-Nuts 10 q highly nutritious
food In tho form of crisp, folden fran

wheat and barley, including vitamin-B
and mineral elements required for

diet, chiefly through "over-refnement"

Ne Other food is 90 thoroughly baked
~ Grspe-Nuts- More than 20 hours
are consumed in the baking process
which makes Grape-Nuts easy to
disest, and also develops . natural
sweetness from the grains themselves.
Tho form and crispness of Grape
Nuts invite thorough masticstion-a
decided advantage because this not
only provides proper exercise for the
teeth, but makes for good digestion.

there are thousands of women
who are finding varied uses for
Crape-Nuts in their home

He was very optimistic about the
future OF the sheep industry both as

means for consuming waste on irrigat-

Outlines Preliminary
Plans for Operation of

WASHINGTON - The federal

that May had been fixed as the date
for the formal opening OF the y new
intermediate farm credit banks. all q
which have been chartered and will be
prepared to consider applications Tor
loans as provided under the new agri-
cultural credits law.
a uniform discount rate OF 81 per
cent has been fixed by all OF the banks
guaranteeing to farmers credit at not
exceeding ! per cent with the poss-
ibility OF slightly lower interest in
charges.
With the announcement that the
governments part OF the program for
extending new loans facilities to the
farmer is ready. the problem now ap-
pears be oe OF organization among
those who will seek government
money. Certain provisions of the law
require that the producers individual
" shall not obtain funds direct from
the loan banks but must first group
themselves into one OF several kinds
OF organizations through which the
producers obligations may be reds
counted and passed on to the credit
bank Among these organizations arc
cooperative marketing associations. I

tural corporations each with certain
limitations and restrictions upon its |
