It is thought that It will require about $7,000 to put the plant in operation, un less a plan can be worked out whereby Hlldreth will supply Upland with the required Juice. You can "raise" a loaf of white flour bread with yeast but you can't "raise" healthy, robust American youngsters in that way. The best food for growing boys and girls is Shredded Wheat It contains no yeast, no fats, no chemicals of any kind just pure whole wheat, steam-cooked, shredded and baked. The crisp, brown Biscuits are not only deliciously appetizing, but they encourage thorough chewing, which makes them better than porridges for growing youngsters. Ask your grocer. Always heat the Biscuit in oven to restore crispness. Two Shredded Wheat Biscuits with hot milk or cream will supply all the energy needed for a half day's work. Deliciously nourishing when eaten in combination with baked apples, stewed prunes, sliced bananas or canned or preserved fruits. Try toasted Triscuit, the Shredded Wheat wafer, for luncheon with butter, cheese or marmalade. Made only by The Shredded Wheat Company, Niagara Falls, N.Y. '9
