There  Is  No  Other  Food  Like  Grape-Nuts 
WHILE  practically  every  man, 
woman  and  child  in  the 
English-speakingworld  knows 
Grape-Nuts  as  a  delicious,  nourishing  and 
wholesome  cereal,  and  while  it  is  common 
knowledge  that  Grape-Nuts  with  milk  or 
cream  is  a  complete  food,  many  house¬ 
wives  do  not  know  of  the  appetizing  and 
economical  dishes  that  can  be  prepared 
with  Grape-Nuts.  It  lends  itself,  we 
believe,  to  more  uses  than  any  other 
cereal.  The  convenience  and  economy  of 
Grape-N  uts,  and  the  flavor,  zest  and  whole¬ 
someness  which  it  imparts  to  other  food, 
make  it  invaluable  in  every  home. 
Frequently  we  receive  interesting  let¬ 
ters  from  women  throughout  the  country, 
telling  about  the  attractive  dishes  they 
make  with  Grape-Nuts — delicious  pud¬ 
dings,  salads,  dressings  for  fowls,  etc.  No 
doubt  there  are  thousands  of  women  who 
are  finding  varied  uses  for  Grape-Nuts  in 
their  home  cooking,  and  even  more  thou¬ 
sands  who  will  be  glad  to  learn  of  those 
varied  uses;  for  while  we  all  cling  to  old 
favorite  dishes,  we  also  welcome  and 
enjoy  a  change. 
So  that  is  the  thought  back  of  our  offer 
of  more  than  $7500.00  in  cash  for  new 
ways  of  using  Grape-Nuts.  To  those 
women  who  are  already  using  Grape- 
Nuts  in  various  ways,  other  than  as  a 
breakfast  cereal  or  in  the  recipes  given 
here,  and  to  those  women  who  would 
like  to  try  their  hand  at  developing  some 
new  way  to  use  Grape-Nuts,  we  offer  to 
buy  at  $50.00  each  not  less  than  101  new 
Grape-Nuts  Recipes.  We  plan  to  include 
these  new  Recipes  in  a  beautifully  illus¬ 
trated  cook  book. 
Grape-Nuts  is  a  highly  nutritious  food  in  the 
form  of  crisp,  golden  granules.  It  contains  the 
full  nutriment  of  wheat  and  barley,  including  vita- 
min-B  and  mineral  elements  required  for  building 
sturdy  health.  These  elements  are  often  lacking 
in  the  ordinary  diet,  chiefly  through  '“over-refine¬ 
ment”  in  the  preparation  of  food. 
No  other  food  is  so  thoroughly  baked  as  Grape- 
Nuts.  More  than  20  hours  are  consumed  in  the 
baking  process  which  makes  Grape-Nuts  easy  to 
digest,  and  also  develops  a  natural  sweetness 
from  the  grains  themselves. 
The  form  and  crispness  of  Grape-Nuts  invite 
thorough  mastication — a  decided  advantage  be¬ 
cause  this  not  only  provides  exercise  for  the  teeth, 
but  makes  for  good  digestion. 
What  Is  Grape-Nuts? 
Every  housewife  in  the  Land  should  take  ad¬ 
vantage  of  this  extraordinary  opportunity  to  earn 
the  tidy  sum  of  $50.00  by  a  little  pleasant  and 
educational  effort  in  her  own  home.  Also  the  fair 
and  equal  chance  to  secure  one  of  the  liberal  awards 
to  be  made  by  Good  Housekeeping  Institute. 
Moreover,  there’s  the  greater  knowledge  of  the 
value  of  Grape-Nuts,  not  only  as  a  delicious 
breakfast  cereal,  but  in  the  preparation  of  a  vari¬ 
ety  of  appetizing  dishes  that  add  to  the  health 
and  pleasure  of  the  whole  family.
