Method

  1. Wheat in the form of toasted flakes is in many respects an ideal food.
  2. It is exceedingly nutritious, and when thoroughly chewed is easily digested.
  3. In fact, people with weak digestion who cannot eat meat and other " solid " foods without discomfort find that wheat flakes agree perfectly with them.
  4. For most persons engaged in sedentary work, a bowl of flakes, with cream or fruit juice of some kind, and with a cup of warm drink, will form an ample and at the same time a delightful breakfast.
  5. Cream has this advantage over fruit juices for the breakfast dish, that it contains a large proportion of fats, in which the flakes are somewhat deficient.
  6. Persons with slow digestion will find wheat flakes eaten dry very helpful.
  7. A greater amount of saliva is required to reduce them to a liquid in the mouth, and this larger quantity of saliva and its thorough saturation of the flakes insure a more rapid digestion.
  8. Flakes have this additional advantage, that they are one of the most economical foods which the housewife can buy.
  9. In a ten-cent package containing a pound one obtains 1,600 calories, or food units.
  10. The same amount spent in sirloin steak at the modest price of twenty cents buys but 975 calories.
  11. What has been said of flaked wheat applies for the greater part to shredded and puffed wheat as well.
