Colonel Kdmund C. Buckner, a vice

It Is Interesting to recount some of

have gripped the people like magic

must prepare to handle our foreign
commerce that will come with an on-
rush; we must prepare to be ever
ready to maintain our national dlg-

ly and ably defined and declared

Try this experiment yourself. Take some Grape-
Nuts direct from the package. Hold the granules in
the palm of your hand under sunlight or an electric
bulb. You will notice tiny shining particles of light on
the granules—the starch of the grains transformed.
Then do the same with some other prepared food—
any other prepared food. You don't see these glisten-
ing particles.
"There's a Reason
9 9
The wonderful taste—the wonderful nourishment
in this great food is due to the fact that in addition to
the sweetness of the whole wheat is combined the deli-
cate flavor and food value of malted barley.
This gives Grape-Nuts two great factors that no
mere wheat food can possess. The delicious zesf of
malted barley imparts a savor that is universally liked;
and beyond that, the barley contains a digestive (not
in wheat) which, with long baking, transforms the
starch of these full grains into a form of sugar which
shows on the golden-brown granules.
If you haven't tried Grape-Nuts food you have a
treat in store. It not only appeals to the appetite but
is a powerful rebuilder for body and brain.
