BRIGHTER CHILDREN

Children areprobably brighterto-day
than a generation ago-but are they
strongers That's grave question.
So many pinched faces, dulled eyes
and languid feelings make us wonder
if they will ever grow into robust,
healthy men and women.
If your children catch colds easily,
are tired when rising, lack healthy
color, or find studies difficult, give
them SCOTS Emulsion for one month
to enrich their blood and restore the
body-forces to healthy action.
SCOTS Emulsion is used in private
schools. 1t is not n "patent medicine"
simply highly concentrated oil-food
without alcohol or harmful drugs. 1t
cannot harm; it improves blood; it bene-
fits lungs and strengthens the system.
Your druggist has it-refuse substitutes.

Rice may be combined with pro-

and eggs for use in the place of meat,
or with small amounts of vegetables
to make the latter 'gO further" Of
course, such a dish does not contain
as much tissUe-building protein as if
it were made entirely of meat, but
when the meat provided ordinarily is
generous and the aim is to reduce the
cost without Iessening the attrac-
