Chinese Ruler.

The Empress Dowager Of China was
sold into slavery at the age of eleven,
to save her family from starvation.
Afterwards she was presented to the
late emperor, and, upon his wife's
death. became empress. Her feet were
never bound, and she was taught to
read after persistent pleading. The
sterling qualities of this wonderful
woman, like those of Pillsbury's Vitos,
have overcome every obstacle. And
she holds herself at the head of Chi,
ma. as does Vitos at the head of break
fast foods.
