Nuts 70, tho Health.

One very great advantage which
nuts possess over most foods is their
absolute freedom from adulteration.
When you buy nuts you always know
what you are getting. OF course, those
bought in the shell are also absolutely
clean. And what a beautiful source
they come from! How beautiful to
picture the trees upon which they
grow, on the outermost branches,

they attend they become educated in
art, either in painting. sculpture or

when grown up will know how &c
make things and make them artistic
