The Food

Uncle Sam Food is composed of Wheat,
Flax and other grains The Flax is first
treated and cooked by patented process
there is no taste of oil. These grains
are accurately blended and scientifically
cooked. The food is ready. Only the
addition of milk or cream is required.
Many families find the food sufficiently
rich when served with milk alone. Thus
the saving of cream more than pays for
the food.
Put up in full 24-ounce sealed pack
ages, larger and much heavier, because
ofgreater nutriment, than the usual cereal
food package.
For sale at all grocers, price Csc
package. Or will be sent by mail, pre-
paid, from the factory at Omaha. If your
grocer cannot supply you, send Csc for
sample package to Uncle Sam Food Co.,
Omaha, Neb. Your money will be re-
funded if you are not entirely satisfied.

tenant colonel, major and eleven other
officers were killed or wounded and
263 men out of 574 who entered the
fight.
Darkness closed in the night OF May
81 with the situation on both sides
OF the lines very much as it was at
Shiloh the first day. The Confederate
leader. General Johnston. had been
wounded and carried from the field
before his plan of battle had been car
ried out. President Davis was on the
ground giving battle orders in person.
The Federals had been overwhelmed
all along the line from Fair Oaks 10
Seven Pines and their batteries and
intrenchments captured. but they had
not been driven into the river.

The Flavor

The flavor of Uncle Sam Food IS
like rich, brown toast, and with milk
or cream far tastier and more attract
i've than any other cereal food.
There are fakes in this food, also
solid grains, making it more sub
stantial than any other breakfast
food.
Absolutely not the slightest sug-
9estion or taste of oil. Because there
is no oil in the food, as the oil in the
fax is only liberated way down in
the intestines after undergoing the
natural heat of digestion.
Neither is there one drop of drugs
or medicine in the food. 1t is simply
pure Wheat, prepared Flax and other
grains.
Children love the flavor of Uncle
Sam Food. They will always call
for Uncle Sam"

In Italy and the olive oil countries stomach
and bowel troubles almost unknown.
Italians have glossy hair, bright eyes, soft vel
vety skin. They feel like singing all the time.
Because they are SO free from constipation and
dyspepsia.
After being changed to oil in the intestines the
Flax in Uncle Sam Food produces the same effect
as the olive oil of Italy.

Yet olives do not taste of oil Nor does Uncle

Latest Addition to Phoenix Mercan- tile Establishments a Credit

Phoenix received a notable addition to her already long list of splendid mercantile houses when Vie Hanny threw back the doors of his new store 40 North central avenue and bid the world enter.
 Things are not just ship shape vet but Vie says that by Saturday night he will be ready to receive the pub lie with d complete stock and a store that for beauty and convenience can not be eXcelled in the state.
 Associated with Hanny in the con duct of his business is A. R. Volk formerly head of the clothing depart ment of the New York store.
 The store is stocked with the hest the market affords in everything that Ia man wears. or carries. these goods are displayed in magnificent show cases and are supported by an equip ment made especially for the store and installed regardless of expense.
 Hannv is known to most of the population of Phoenix and to large percentage of the registered voters in the state He formerly lived in Tue son. but as he truthfuly says. If fellow is going to live in a state why not live in the best town in the state?"
 The same. of course being Phoenix accounts for the presence of Hanny and the starting upon the road to fame and fortune of another business enterprise destined to bring profit to it's owners and credit to the com munity.
