WHAT DO THE CHILDREN DRINK

Don't give them tea or coffee. Have you
tried the new food drink called Grain-O?
1t is delicious and nourishing and takes
the place of coffee. The more Grain-O
you distribute through their systems.
Grain-O is made of pure grains, and
when properly prepared tastes like the
choice grades of coffee but costs about
Y as much. All grocers sell it. 15c. and
