Grape-Nuts is q highly nutritious
food in the form of crisp, Golden sran-
ules., Ii contains the full nutriment of
wheat and barley, including vitamin-B
and mineral elements required for
building sturdy health. These ele-
ments ars often lacking in the ordinary
diet, chiefly through "over-refnement"
in the preparation of food.
No other food is so thoroughly baked
a. Grape-Nuts. More than 20 hours
are consumed in the baking process
which makes Crape-Nuts easy to
digest, and also develops q natural
sweetness from the grains themselves.
Tho form and crispness of Grape
Nuts invite thorough mastication-a
decided advantage because this not
only provides proper exercise for the
teeth, but makes for good digestion.

They shrieked with delight to see
the things Windy was doing. He went
over to a water faucet and turned 1t

Next he took a toothbrush, which

he brushed his teeth, and then he
