Campaigns
For Pure Foods
have been eye-openers to the American people.
Scores of food products have been weighed in the
I >alance and found wanting.
One of the commonest faults—and a serious one—
is the deficiency of mineral elements in white flour
foods, lo this lack is due, in large degree, nervous
prostration, anemia, rickets in children, and manv
other ills.
Nearly a score of years ago a wonderful food—
made from whole wheat and barley—was devised.
It contains all the nutriment of the grain, including
the valuable mineral salts so necessary for perfect
building of body, brain and nerves.
That food is
Grape-Nuts
It lias been awarded highest merits and place in
the \\ estfield Book of Pure Foods, and in the N. Y.
Globe's exceedingly exclusive Pure Food Directory.
Ready to eat —delicious—
economical nourishing.
