Don't Break Down

Severe strains on the vital organs,
like strains on machinery, cause
break downs. You can't over-tax
stomach, liver, kidneys, bowels or
nerves without serious danger to
yourself. If you are weak or run
down, or under strain of any kind,
take Electric Bitters, the matchless,
tonic medicine. Mrs. j. f. Van de
Sande OF Kirkland, H., writes:
That / did not break down, while
enduring a most severe strain, for
three months, is due wholly to
Electric Bitters." Use them and
enjoy health and strength. Salts

COCOANUT MAY
RIVAL THE COW

@INCE the days of our caye-dwelI-
- ing ancestors the people of the
northlands have been eating, for
the most part, the flesh and fats of ami
mails, while in sun-kissed tropics the ma
tives have been thriving and finding life
one lazy yawning dream, ordering from a
table dhote menu Of fruit and nuts.
For long time scientists and thinkers
have been pondering over this truth, and
recently. with prices Of the necessaries OF
NE climbing higher and higher daily.
there has been an effort to modify the
present scheme OF things. by substituting
for a meat diet products equally sus-
tanning that are right at hand supplied by
Mother Nature.
In this search for cheaper living Ameri-
ca is learning much. From Europe, where
overcrowded cities have made the high
cost of living an old. old story. has just
come another help that promises to be
received here with great enthusiasm.
The innovation will mean a merry war
between the docile COW and the humble
cocoanut for supremacy, for 1t is nothing
less than a substitute for high priced
butter and lard In the shape of an edible
Tat made from the natural Oil of nuts
Nut butter, which is made principally
from cocoanuts. has the appearance of
lard and is tasteless and odorless. Some
of the virtues claimed for 1t are that 1t
is absolutely pure where butter is adul-
