Your "Get-Away Power" in Summer is a matter of fuel-food for the human engine. Food that is hard to digest and low in nutritive value does not supply energy for theday's work. It uses up needed power by overtaxing the digestive organs. Shredded Wheat Biscuit is all tood. It is 100 per cent, whole wheat and s prepared in a digestible form. Changing from meat and potatoes to Shredded Wheat brings a mental bouyancy and physical alertness that make one eager for the day's task. Eat it for any meal with sliced bananas, berries, or other fruits Made at Niagara Falls.
