Away With False Pride

Thousands of women would have quit buying butter long ago if there had been another and better substi- tute than the old type Oleomargarine There is now-Benefit Brand Sweet Nut" This delicious product does not contain a particle of Oleo or any animal fat whatever, although an old law requires the word Oleomargarine to be placed on the package. It is made solely from the nutritious part of the creamy white meat of ripe cocoanuts, churned with pasteurized milk; it tastes, and has the same nu- tritive qualities as the finest creamery butter. When served, nobody can tell the difference between the two. But there's a big difference in price Benefit Brand Sweet Nut" is only 33c h.; averaging from 18c to 25c h. cheaper than butter buying that's only false pride. You can buy Benefit Brand Sweet Nut" only at the Direct Importing Co.'S stores with the yellow front. PIT Main St., 366 Arch St, New Britain, where Benefit Brand Teas, COffeeS, and Grocery Specialtics are retailcd at wholesale prices.

war BREAD COSTLY TO
BRITISH GOVERNMENT

Every year the British government
pays $200,000,000 toward the cost Of
that nations war bread That is the
principal reason why English bread
prices are lower today to the consumer
than In America Incidentally the
British bread is much poorer than the
American.
Great Britain has taken over all
home grown grain. bought at an arbi-
trary price, and all imported wheat
bought In markets of the world at pre-
vailing prices. This Is turned over to
the mills by the government at a price
that allows the adulterated war bread
loaf Of four pounds to sell at IS cents.
The two pound loaf costs 8 cents, and
the one pound loaf sells for cents.
In milling. however. IA per cent.
more flour is extracted from the wheat
than in America. And there Is COM
pulsory adulteratlon of 20 per cent.
and an allowable adulteration OF so
per cent
Compared with American bread. the
British product is only about 90 per
cent pure at It's best.
In France. under conditions some
what similar. but with a larger extrac-
ton. the four pound loaf sells for 10
cents
