HAS ENDORSED NEW FAMOUS
HONEY KRUSHED WHEAT BREAD
New Formula Now Used in Famous Chicago Ins
tuition After Analysis By Dr. Clark, Prominent Chicago
Radio Food Lecturer

DR.. Clark, noted for his radio
food talks and director of the
Chicago Institution, writes: your
Rice's Honey Krushed Wheat Bread,
which uses honey instead Of sugar.
Is splendid food for children and
adults alike I would like your for
mula for this amazing bread so that
our baker here can make this bread
for our school.
"The basic mineral elements rob-
bed from many foods not only help
to keep the alkalinity in reserve but
their presence in the cell structure
is necessary for tonicity. Flabby
tissues in the body mean poor func-
ton. Poor function or faulty elimi-
nation is sure death.
Foods which can not be digested
in the same length OF time when
mixed together do not pass of in
the same length Of time. The re-
suit is a certain portion of this food
! ferments, and rots in the intestines.
Your Rice's Honey Krushed Wheat
Bread assists in the proper elimina-
ton of these foods and promotes
regularity
Are you suffering from constipa-
tion, have headaches and lack pep?
Stop taking unnatural stimulants
that compel you to take more and
more. Relieve 1t Natures way.
Evening star., 1935-04-08

your diet with the necessary rough
age.
We were positive that an appetiz-
ing. palatable bread could be baked
that would contain ingredients that
would relieve constipation. We
found it in the Rice's Honey
krushed Wheat Bread formula
Here are two important factors that
do the work-whole crushed wheat
kernels and pure honey. They are
rich in appetite producing vitamins.
Where the digestion has been i'm
paired by unnatural stoppage, they
penetrate every crevice of the colon,
hunting down the bacteria of decay
that causes headaches, sluggish feel
Ing and the inability to work.
Make This Ten-Day Test.
Try Rice's Honey Krushed Wheat
Bread for just ten days. Note how
much better you feel, how easy it
Is to digest. You'll be quick to
recognize the important benefits.
You'll be delighted with the appetiz-
ing flavor.
Be sure to get the Rice's Original
Honey Krushed Wheat Bread, sliced
and cellophane wrapped. It has a
liberal extra coating Of crushed
wheat upon the outer crust. At
your grocer.
