Statistics show that only about 14 out of every 500 New York City school children have sound teeth. Probably simi lar conditions prevail elsewhere. There's a Reason! And it lies to a great extent in the demineralized foods that make up the usual diet of children. The body must have its quota of mineral elements—lime for the teeth, iron for the blood, phosphate of potash for the nerves, etc. —or disaster is pretty sure to follow. Many foods —especially white bread—are woefully lacking in these vital mineral elements. The famous food, Grape-Nuts is rich in these elements. It is made of whole wheat and malted barley, retaining the mineral salts so abundantly stored in the grain by Nature. Grape-Nuts is easily digested, appetizing, and highly nourishing. Along with other food, a daily ration of Grape- Nuts does much toward correcting dietetic faults in both children and adults.
