The Safe Side
"Those of us who are wise," says
a well-known doctor, "will keep
on the safe side by using only those
foods that contain everything
Nature puts into them."
<5 A bit of good advice, that. 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.

of $30,000 to $35,000.
