AT FARMERS 1 RALLY 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.'
