GRAINS MAKE BRAINS.

GRAINS when properly prepared by thorough dextrinization of the starch are the most easily digestible of all foods with the exception of fruits, which, when ripe and fresh, with few exceptions, really require no digestion at all. By thorough dextrinization of the starch contained in cereal substances by the aid of the methods devised and employed by the Battle Creek, Mich., Sanitarium Health Food Co., these highly nutritious products are rendered almost as easily digestible as fruits, undergoing in the stomach and intestines with marvelous rapidity the transformation into nutrient material, which, when properly circulated in the blood, builds up brain, bone, muscle, and nerves, and replenishes in the most marvelous manner the daily wasting of the stores of nerve and muscular energy, which must be kept intact in order that the human machine may maintain its never-ceasing activity.

Ordinary cooking does not properly prepare cereal foods for digestion and assimilation in human beings. Fruits and grains being the natural dietary of man, the nutritive elements of the grains must be brought as nearly as possible to the same state as that in which they are found in fruits. In other words, the raw starch of grains must be completely dextrinized. This change takes place in fruit during the ripening process. Grains require subjection to a temperature of three or four hundred degrees—much above the boiling point—to accomplish this.

By processes perfected as the result of long and costly experimentation, the Battle Creek, Mich., Sanitarium Health Food Co. has for many years been supplying the patients of the Battle Creek Sanitarium and its score of branches in various parts of the world with the most perfect health foods ever produced. The great success of these institutions is doubtless due, in large part, to the wonderful nutritive properties of these foods, which are now offered to all who desire them through the leading grocers, who keep them on sale.

Those who desire a tempting and nutritious meal that can be served in a second at a cost of one cent a person should buy Granola. It has a rich, nutty flavor. One pound package contains as much nutrition as three pounds of beef. It is thoroughly cooked and ready for immediate use with the addition of fruit juice or milk.

Readers of the SIGNS who will send the name of a grocer who does not sell Granola, to the Sanitarium Health Food Co., Battle Creek, Mich., will receive a free sample.
