 Fleming read the letter through sev craI times and wondered what in the world dear old Tom meant by being kind.

Malt 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
season than it did last, with the ex-
ception of Malt Breakfast Food. On
account of increased sales and i'm
proved process of manufacture the
proprietors find themselves able to
give more food for the same money
and have increased the size of the
package about One-third.
A two-pound package of Malt
Breakfast Food costs the same as q
fourteen ounce package of the "ready-
to,eat" cereals, and when cooked &C.
cording to directions itgoes just eight
times as far, package for package, as
the ready-cooked foods. Prove this
by your own grocery bills, and you
will soon be eating better food at a
less expense.
Malt Breakfast Food is not fad ;
it is real honest food, delicious and
satisfying. Which is preferable at
this season of the year, steaming
hot dish OF delicious Malt Breakfast
Food, served with cream and sugar,
or handful of cold. dry chips, eaten
from a pasteboard box thatmay have
been on the grocery shelves since last
summer?
There is no guesswork or expert
ment about Malt Breakfast Food. Il
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 1t supplies all the clemens nee
essary to build and nourish body and
brain.
With every package of Malt Break
fast Food is packed a beautiful car

graphs, misunderstanding or print
ing, duplica ties of which cost tRo o.
three dollars at the art stores, are
given in return for coupons taken
from the packages.
Do not take our word for the super
iority of Malt Breakfast Food, as re-
CARDS both economy and nourish-
ment, but ask your grocer, ask your
physician, ask your friends. Better
yet, buy package, cook itaccording
to directions, serve # hot and eat II
You will agree with US in calling it
the very best cereal in the whole
world.
