"I really must protest," said tho

After a few moments' reflection.

HAPPY OLD AGE
Most Likely to Follow Proper Eatina-
As old age advances we require less
food to replace waste, and food that
will not overtnx the digestive organs
while supplying true nourishment.
Such an Ideal food Is found in drape
Nuts, made of whole whent and barley
by long baking mid action of diastase
In thu barley which chunges the starch
Into a most digestible sugar.
The phosphates also, placed up un
der tho outer-coat of tho wheat, are
Included In drape-Nuts, but uro lack
ing in while flour because tho outer
coat of tho wheat darkens tho flour
and Is left out by tho miller. These
natural phosphates nro necessary to
tho well-balanced building of muscle,
brain and nerve cells.
"1 have used Ornpo-Nuts," writes an
Iown man, "for 8 years and feel as
good nnd am stronger than I -was ten
years ngo.
"Among my customers I meet a man
every day who is well along In years
nnd nttilbutes his good health to
flrape-Nutb nnd I'ostum which he has
used for tho last D years. Ho mixes
Grape-Nuts with I'ostum nnd says
(hoy go fin o together.
"For many years before I bogan to
eat Grnpe-Nuts, I could not say that I
enjoyed llfo or know what It wns to be
able to say 'I am well.' I suffered
grently with constipation, but now my
habits nro ns regular as over in my
llfo.
"Whnnover I make extra effort I
dopend on Grape-Nuts food nnd It just
fills the bill, 1 can think and wrlto a
grent deal easier."
