Children Enjoy Malt Breakfast Food,
and Grow Fat Upon it.

No other food equals Malt Breakfast
Food in giving perfect nourishment to
the growing child. 1t makes them fat,
builds up strong bones and teeth, and
supplies all the elements demanded by
the rapidly developing body and brain.
Malt Breakfast Food is delicious and
delightful. Children and grown people
like it,. and call it the ideal breakfast.
The wealthiest can find nothing bet
ter, while the cost is so small as to
make it the most economical of all
foods. 1t is packed in full weight two
pounds packages, and when cooked for
the table makes twelve pounds of de-
licious food, thirty or forty meals.
Malt Breakfast Food is the only food
that should be used for some time after
weaving. Many weakly and frail chill
dren have been reared to strength and
vigor on this food.
Nursing mothers should eat Malt
Breakfast Food. 1t promotes the Sc
erection of milk wonderfully, SO that
many who have been unable to nurse
their children have done so while eat
ing this food.
Malt Breakfast Food is not a ready
| to-eat fad. 1t is honest food, to be
cooked in your own home and digested
in your own stomach. Children who
live upon it find digestion healthy and
natural, and lay the foundation for
perfect health in after years. Get a
package today and see how the little
ones like it, how well it agrees with
them and how economical it is.
