Many foods, as usually prepared, especially cereals, are lacking in the vital mineral elements—phosphate of potash, etc., which the body must have for perfect balance and health. There is one food, Grape-Nuts which is rich in these elements, wontaining, as it does, all the nutriment of whole wheat and barley. It is a delicious food, affording the sweetness of dextrinized wheat and the distinctive flavor of malted barley. <! Every table should have its daily ration of Grape- Nuts.
