Colonel Graves Among the
Speakers at Union
City..
Once upon a time
Man lived upon the prey that fell in tho chase. His vigorous active
life enabled him to keep alive upon a diet which
The Modern Business Man
of sedentary habits, cannot possibly thrive upon, and now
Modern Conditions Demand a Modern Diet
( Success in nil undertakings depends upon, and cannot be secured
( without, a healthy body and keen brain, and they cannot bo kept
i healthy and vigorous by drugs, or in any other way than nature’s
way, that is, by food.
There is only one
€<
Road to WcUville”
and along this roadonlvgood,pure,properly cooked food is served.
The makers of Grape-Nuts claim, with the best of reasons,
that this scientific food is superior to any other for rebuilding tho
brain and nerve tissues and muscles worn down by. modem strenu
ous life.
“There’s a Reason”
“There’s a Reasod” for
for this claim. The manufacturers of Grape-Nuts keep in this food
the valuable phosphate of potash which unites with albumen and
water in the human digestive organs, and directly feeds the deli
cate brain and nerve centers.
White bread lacks this importantelement, for the • phosphate
of potash is in the brown cells of the wheat berry, and the white
flour miller must throw it out, because it will not make white bread.
Then, too, all the starch in Grape-Nuts is changed in its manufac
ture to a form of sugar which is very easy of digestion.
This delicious food needs no cooking. It is ready for instant
use, and makes a crisp, toothsome dish of decidedly upique flavour.
It possesses high ,value as a strength-makiug food, welcome
alike to athlete, brain-worker, aud invalid.'

Washington, D. C, Aug. 22.—"The
attitude of tho federal government to
