Honey, one of the most nutritious
and delicate of foods, should be eaten
more than it is" said a cooking ex-
pert. Bought in the comb, 1t is bound
to be unadulterated AM this pure
honey will keep its friends free from
sore throat and bronchial troubles. l
have not had sore throat for six
years and I attribute it to eating
honey. My doctor tells me he often
recommends honey. with excellent re-
suits. for diseases of the throat. Honey
is excellent to use instead of sugar for
sweetening cakes. 1t gives the cakes
most DELIGHTFUL flavor. 1t is also ex-
cellent in pla se of butter on hot bis
cult, on toast and on buckwheat
cakes
al know a number of women who
use honey as cosmetic. They apply
1t to the skin, rub it in we'll then wash
1t eff with hot water. The result is a
finer-textured complexion, glowing
