SWEET MELODY FLOUR.

Take two glass cans. Put.
Ten silver dollars in each. Pour
a pint Of water in one. Which
is the most valuable?
Take a sack Of Dewey's
Best Flour-take a sack of.
spring wheat flour, make them
into bread. The sack Of
Dewey's Best contains more
.digestible nutriment, but BY
adding 6 pounds more water
to the spring wheat flour it
will produce 6 more loavcs.
Does the water add to the
amount of nutriment in the
spring wheat flour? No.
Is there more nutriment in
IS loaves from Deweys Best
than in Al loaves from spring
wheat? Yes.
Appearances are sometimes
deceptive. Buy Dewcy'S Best,
get an honest aour-at an eco
nomical price.

that your shipbuilding yards are quite
