simply gives temporary relief

also has a positive strengthening action

whole system in proper physical con-
dition. 1t restores power to the nerves
of the stomach and in this way gives
that important organ the power to di-
gest food In this way natural flesh is
regained and health restored.
Remember that you risk nothing in
buying Mi-o-na. The bond protects you.

effect Rowley & Snow will return your

fashioned hand tubs for fire protection.
which the boys at Atlantic Hose 2
have at their house on Cony street is
a solid silver gold Lined fireman's
trumpet. 1t is not because of its in
trinsic value that the boys cherish the
trumpet, but because of the assoeia-
tons connected with it, The trumpet
was won at Bath, Oct. II, 1867, by the
old hand tub Atlantic 8, in competition
with several other crack tubs of the
State. The Atlantic was q Button tub,
and in her time was an old hero. The
trumpet is similar in design to those
of today, and is heavily engraved. on

LIVE WELL Att LESS EXPENSE,
wait Breakfast Food Solves Problem.
Goes Eight Times as Far as
"Ready -to-Eat" Cereals,

There is hardly an item of living ex-
pense which does not cost more this
winter than it did last, with the excep-
ton of Malt Breakfast Food. On ac-
count of increased sales and improved
processes of manufacture the proprie-
tors find themselves able to give more
food for the same money, and have in
creased the size of the package about
one-third.
A two-pound package of Malt Break
fast Food costs the same as a four
teen ounce package of the ''ready-to-
eat cereals, and when cooked accord
ing to directions it goes just eight
tunes as far, package for package, as
the ready-cooked foods. Prove this
by your own grocery bills, and you viii
soon be eating better food at less
expense.
Malt Breakfast Food is not a fad; it
is real, honest food, delicious and salts
tying. Which is preferable at this sea-
son of the year, steaming-hot dish of
delicious Malt Breakfast Food, served
with cream and sugar, or a handful of
cold, dry chips, eaten from a paste
board box that may have been on the
grocery shelves since last summer?
There is no guesswork or experiment
about Malt Breakfast Food. 1t is the
original malt-wheat food. 1t has been
the favorite breakfast dish in the best
homes for years, and those who use
it show by their superior mental and
physical vigor and health how perfectly
it supplies all the elements necessary
to build and nourish body and brain.
With every package of Malt Break
fast Food is packed a beautiful carbon
photograph, while larger photographs,
without advertising or printing, dupli-
Gates of which cost two or three dol
lars at the art stores, are given in re-
turn for coupons taken from the pack
ages.
Do not take our word for the super
iority of Malt Breakfast Food, as re-
CARDS both economy and nourishment,
but ask your grocer, ask your physi-
clan, ask your friends. Better yet, buy
package, cook it according to drec
tons, serve it hot, and eat it. You will
agree with us in calling it the very
best cereal in the whole world.
