To Those Who Invite ft
"There's a Keacan"
THERE are plain rules,
well understood, about
keepinga piece of machinery in
repuir und running smoothly'.
Is the body as important
us an uutomobile engine or a
fuinuct?
Is it as reasonable tp talk
about the b'st ways of sus
taining the body as it is to talk
of proper care for the engine
or the furnuce?
Well, then
The body is strengthened,
warmed, sustained kept

Some Simple Facts

This may sound like physi
ology, but it works like hculih.
Hunger Not Cheated
All the richness of the ker
nel, together with essential
mineral elements, are retained
in the making of Grape-Nuts.
Often, in the manufacture of
foods, some of the most vital
of nature's provisions are
thrown away.
The long baking process
(Grape-Nuts is the result of
20 hours continuous baking)
partially pre-digests the food
substances, develops the
starches into dextrin and mal
tose giving to Grape-Nuts
its own natural sweetness
and produces a food which,
when served with milk or
cream, has been found by
chemists to be almost per
fectly balanced i.1 qualities
of nutrition.
The Enemies Within
Now, old age begins in the
larger intestine.
This is what the scientists
have found who know the
human body as the mechan
ical expert knows his auto
mobile engine.
Noneedtogo intothe partic
ularsit's enough to sa? thut '
certain effects produced by
food which is slow in digest
ing dcvc'op1errtfT.t..tion and
other conditions which cause
the bodily niachin..' to slow
down and woi'.r cut Soulier
than necessary.
Grape-Nuts d'-ts quick
ly and wholesomely.
Much cf this h A:n io tho
fact that the Lng baking haa
partly prc-distid the nutri
ment; partly to th fact that
there is contained in Grape
Nus the essential ''rough
ness" to stimulate the action
of lha intestines.
Health's Splendid
Champion
Grape-Nuts is a delightful
food, for it is uniquely rich
and sweet in Ravor. and al
ways crisp. It is unusually
nutritious, for it has all the
bady-buildingelemerrtsof tha
most perfect food grains. It
is a convenient and econom
ical food, for it is ready to eat
from the package, keeps in
my climata, and is appetiz
ing to the last bit.
It builds strength and vigor
without taxing the digestion
or leaving, within the body,
elements whose familiar
harm is really the beginning
of "old age."
Grape-Muts has been
favorite food, around the
world, for nearly a" quarter
cfea century 0
And there is a reason!
