genuine health food Of the highest
merit. For instance, on the 1000
side a.one let me tell you just this;
Chicken soup is considered nourish-
ing and it is, yet the average is only
90 calories, whereas sauer kraut mas
nearly doubled the energy value-l25
calories. =, 90
We think of beef soup with l2o
calories as a tolerably substantial
starter to a good solid meal but sau-
er kraut with 125 calories has great
er heat value by a considerable mar
gin.
Government reports go further
than this and show conclusively the
superiority of sauer kraut in food
value as against tomatoes 40 calor-
les, asparagus 80, okra 6O, Onions
lis, string bens 80, vegetable soup
40, pumpkin pie 120, turnips nix
and sauer kraut 125.

is regularly used as cure for lum-
bago, obesity and fiatulency. An
authority Of the American Institute

Lorand Of Carlsbad Germany, pre-
scribes regularly small wlneglass
full Of sauer kraut JUICE half an hour
before meals and before retiring ana
saws il is the best health medicine
under the sun.

Now. here is the big point. For

the delicious sauer kraut dishes such
as sauer kraut salad, sauer kraut

You can make for yourself concoc-

YOU back to the good old days-a
sauer kraut cocktail. Just take the
Juice in shaker with some ice, you
