GOOD THINGS TO EAT.
Public Demonstration of Ralston
Cereals at Jones Grocery Co.

Mrs. Poston, who is entertaining so
many people this week at the Jones
Grocery company in public demon
stration of how to prepare and serve
the Ralston cereals in so many differ
ent palatable styles, was a very busy
person when reporter dropped III
this morning to witness the demon
stration. Mrs. Poston said that she
found so many ladies who seemed to
think that the only way to serve the
cereals of the Purina mills was to
pour little milk over them after
being steamed for a few minutes and
served in that manner, while if they
could only spend few moments time
at the store she could easily learn
them how to make puddings, short
cake, cake and IA hundred di ifferent
styles in which the cereals could be
served so that people could not help
but like them.
The genuine Ralston cereals are all
put up in checkerboard packages and
are made by the Purina mills, st.
Louis, Mo, so that there is not much
danger of their being counterfeited
if people will only secure the check
erboard packages.
While Mrs. Poston only has Satur-
day left in which to make these de-
monstrations it might be well worth
the time spent if the ladies of Flo
renee would call and try some of
these preparations, get sample pack
age of the cereals and sample loaf
of the Brain Bread made of the
celebrated health -four by Hoffman
Bros. Remember, that Saturday is
the last day.
