Some food Is EO bufky that even nt a very low price per pound , the actual food value Is so little that It Is really expensive ; on the other hand , there are concentrated foods , like ; for Instance the famous break fast food known-'ds "drape-Nuts , " that sells fat 1C cents per polmd , but yield In food units so much value that but little of the food should be used at a time , and In real'- Ity , when properly used , the expense Is about one cent per meal. It Is a common mistake to UFO too much of the food Qrapc-Nuts , lie taste Is crisp , with the delicate pweot flavor of grnpo eugar , and one Is Inclined to eat double the proper quantity. A lady writes from Indianapolis , Mrs. A. L. Wilson : "Wo have been using your Grape-Nuts now for two or three weeks. I cannot tell you how much I find It has benefltted me. My hua- band la a physician and ha not only uses It at each meal , but likes It at bedtime. " Using the food In this way. some families might be impressed with the coat , but after al'l , good food , which keeps the family In prlmo condition of health , at a moderate cost , Is very much more profitable , eo far as dollars and cents are concerned , than to make u e of low-grade , bulky foods nnd frcm time to time call In a physician to help out. The use ot "drape-Nuts" In reaionable quantity co ta one rent per meal , and the food stands without an equal In point of nu trition and value In building up the nerve centers and tissue of the body. The rrlsp , delicate , sweet laste comes from the grape sugar which Is produced by transformation cf tha starch of Ihe cereal's , and tbla grape suesr If presented to the system , ready for Immediate assimilation. ampe-Nuts are sold by all first-elan grocers and rnsde by the I'astum Co. at their factories la Battle - tlo Crtek , Mlchlcan , _ _ - \ NEW HONORS FOR NEBRASKA Batch of Names Designated for Appointment in Voltinteor Rogitnsnt , CONSIDER/WON / OF FAITHFUL SERVICES AV.
