Whole Wheat and Mi1k-the two most per.


 feet foods given to man. Dietetic experts may quar- rel about everything else, but they are agreed on this. The proper cornbina- ton is Shredded Wheat Biscuit with milk-the greatest amount of protein (the element that builds muscular tissue) for the least money. Two or three of these Biscuits with milk make a nourishing breakfast on which to start the days work and they cost only a few cents. A boon to the housewife because they are ready-cooked and ready-to- eat. Delicious with berries or other fruits. Made at Niagara Falls, N. Y.

WILL NEVER BE CHEAPER

Then. there is another side to the aues- ton, the matter of leaving home for the loved ones. in case death should re- move the head of the family. home is a nest egg for the family, aside from the pleasure of having a home like you want it. There never will be time when home can be bought in Birmingham as cheap as right now.
 Rentals are better this spring than ever before in the history of the city Every house that is in good repair Is rented Homes will be more in demand this fall than now, and the people who want home, first-class place the kind one would want to live in, will have to buy it to get what they want.
 "Out-of town people who come to Bir- mingham are always favorably impressed with Birmingham's residence section. This section should appeal to those who live here, for it is beautiful. and there is no better residential section in any city than is afforded right here in our city," concluded MT White.

MANY ADVANTAGES COME FROM OWNING
 BIRMINGHAM HOME:
Will Never Be Cheaper Here Than They Are NOw-To Own Home Lends Stand
 ing to Any Citizen

Tn discussing the "Buy-a-Home" week. which has been designated by the Real Estate exchange as next week, May 14-20, said:
 'It seems to be that the difference be- tween efficiency and inefficiency is the difference between the answers to two questions: How can it be done best? and how can it be done easiest?
 Efficiency means work--it means that you must study, concentrate, be ener- getic. Inefficiency means lack of andy sis. thought and pains
 Have you ever studied the question of how to own your own home? Of how easy it is for you to become efficient in this particular, which will enable you to increase your efficiency in other things Have you ever thought that man who does not own his home had an edge on the man who does?
 A HOME GIVES STANDING
 'To the contrary, have you not experi- enced the sad fact that. the nran who owns his home is a recognized citizen in your city, and that he is accorded line or cre0lL, 8 rdLlnss ludL yoh SchiAhAON iAoN V until you get into his class? Did it ever occur to you that you would have an inward independence that you have never felt if you would buy home, buckie right down to brass tacks and lift the little nest of contentment into your owr right by dint of hard effort combined with the good wife's sacrifices and hell that is always forthcoming?
 Think this over, and come to the bargain counter that awaits you every day in the year in Birmingham, where property values are constantly on the rise. Look around you. Your neighbor owns a home--you don't. Make the com- parison, it won't embarrass you as much as if I made it. It is matter that IS absolutely worth while to every man who wants to throw out his chest and live contentedly
