OLIVE OIL
Most Nutritious Food

We cat too much You often hear
that; and it is so and il isn't so. Il Is
more or less a fact that we eat great
deal of useless matter in modern foods,
so We have to eat more than appears
necessary in order TO get the needed
nourishment. Whether this condition is
improved or not as civilization ad-
yances is a question, indeed. 1t looks
as If science and civilization were
working hand in hand to concoct as
much useless food matter as could pos
sibly be devised. We have only 20 look
back at the customs of the ancients to
prove this They lived as close to ma
ture as they possibly could and we find
their principal food was Olive Oil.
Olive Oil is a long known natural
a, ID product. At the same time il is
a highly scientific food product, as it
supplies all the necessary food units re-
quired in the human economy, with no
waste.
We might almost say science will
never find anything superior to Olive
Oil You should try it, Get a bottle Of
AIillers Virgin Olive Oil as imported
by the Miller Drug Co. from Grasse,
France. Compare the fine flavor and
taste and its remarkable richness with
what you have been buying as Olive
oil. You can get a half-pint bottle
there for 80 cents, a pint bottle for
80 cents and a quart for % cents.

Learn 10 walk Erect.

If you are walking along the street and
wake up to the fact that you are carrying
yourself poorly. take the mental attitude

ne.
Look at the men you meet and imagine
that each one Of them owes you a dollar
put even a suggestion Of arrogance into
your position
Hold your head well back; look people
squarely I'm the face.
This will not only give the impression
to others that you possess the power yo1
want. but it will actually tend to brinl
that power.
