er manufacturers for the purpose Of
acquainting the public more widely
with their product, and the definite
health value that graham crackers
possess.
Graham flour and graham products
are essential in the diet for several
reasons; they supply proteins to
build tissues and muscles; they fur
nish calcium for the building of
tooth and bone structure; they con
tain vitamins necessary to health
and they add valuable roughage. A
new development in the baking of
graham crackers came with the addi-
tion of honey for rich flavor. This
form of sweetening lends a new deli
cious taste, and because it aids diges-
tion, makes graham crackers even
more healthful and nourishing.
Honeyflavored graham crackers
are particularly favored for the
preparation of desserts, puddings,
cakes, etc. While their distinctive
flavor lends rich nutty taste, their
graham flour content introduces some
fibrous material or roughage into the
diet, as well as some useful miner
ais. Being sweet in themselves, they
save sugar in cooking and make
dishes more economical. Their fuel
value is high, being equivalent to
1893 calories per pound. Simple
graham puddings are always pleas
ing and hcalthful for the children
and when they are composed of nuts,

immensely.
