Some persons believe that to become strong they must eat meat. Nuts Dietetic science and practical athletic train ers have discovered the error of this old theory. A strong body and powerful mind are more surely and permanently gained from the use of cereal food. Grape- made of whole wheat and barley, contains the elements that go to build up brain and body cells including the Phosphate of Potash (grown in the grains) which Nature requires for perfect cell nourishment. Ever try omitting chops or steak tor break fast and replace them with Grape-Nuts and cream eaten slowly? "There's a Reason" NOT ON MEAT Man Ceuldn't sVegaln Strength Until He Changed To Grape-Nuts. It's a common Joke to say "He eats so much it makes nlm poor to carry it around," when sneskinK of some thin, scrawny fellow wuo rats as much as a hnrse, but It Is frequently true If the food Is not the kind the body calls for. A Germnn woman of Chicago Rives an Instance in her own family. It's briefly told but the truth Is there: "My husband lost his left hand in nn accident nnd Init a InrRc nmount of blood. He kept getting weaker for five months and finally not a revere rough. lie would cat big meals ot meat and potatoes to get well but didn't get any good from them. Finally I persuaded him to try Grape 'Nuts food and from a skeleton of 83 pounds he soon regained hit normal weight of t07 pounds and la strong and well and declares he wants no other food for the main part of his meals. "As for myself my flesh was flabby, I tired so easily and my memory was so poor I could keep nothing in my head, but after three months of the Cirape-Nuts diet I gained IS pounds, my flesh Is hard and firm, I am stronger and my memory has improved wonderfully. I keep a candy store, but I sell Grape-Nuts, too, for I think it Is the best thing to give the children." Name given by Posttim Co., UntUe Creek. Mich. Look for "The Hoad to Wrllvllle" in pkgs.
