Don't Eat Less—But Eat Better ■ How to prevent waste and at the same time perfectly nour jj ish the human body is a matter of intelligent food selection. There is no need of anyone going hungry. Americans should not eat less —they should eat better. They should eat foods that sup ply the greatest amount of digestible nutriment at the lowest cost. m The whole wheat grain is the most perfect food given to man. It contains every element needed for building healthy tissue and furnishing energy for the day's work. But be sure you get the whole wheat grain, afid be sure you get it in a digestible form. | Shredded Wheat Biscuit | i - is 100 per cent, whole wheat grain prepared in a digestibleiforje. Every particle of the whole wheat berry is used —nothing wasffed, nothing thrown away. . It is what you digest, not what you eat, that furnishes energy for the human body. We make the whole wheat | digestible by steam cooking, jjj I Two or three of these little loaves 1 a of baked whole wheat with milk, sliced bananas, berries, peaches, or other fruits, make a nourishing, satis tying meal at a cost of & few cents.
