SHREDDED 

 BISCUIT 



Some people go blindfolded through life regard- 

 ing what food is best suited to sustain them, until 

 their bodies become physical makeshifts and their 

 minds correspondingly faulty. 



Shredded Whole Wheat Biscuit is a Naturally 

 Organized Food, that is, contains all the prop- 

 erties in correct proportion necessary to 

 nourish every element of the human 

 body. "Soft-cooked" cereals are swallowed 

 without the necessary mastication, thus robbing 

 the teeth of their NATURAL exercise, 

 causing weakness and decay. Shredded 

 Whole Wheat Biscuit, being crisp, com- 

 pels vigorous mastication and 

 causes the NATURAL flow 

 of saliva which is necessary 

 for NATURAL digestion. 

 Sold by All Grocers. 



Don't "go it blind" but 

 send for "The Vital 

 Question" Cook Book 

 (free). It will re- 

 move the blindfold 

 of habit. Address,
