Don't let a heavy lunch
fetter your brains

hours. They are precious, too,
those midday hours.
Eat a kght lunch. Drink
plenty of milk. Milk will give
you all the strength and energy
you need without taxing your
digestion and claiming your
brains.
Try to think Of milk as it
really is-as good, pure,
health-building food. When
you are thirsty, drink milk for
the good it will do you in addi-
ton to quenching your thirst.
Eat foods in which milk is in
cluded, for much of the food
value is retained even when
milk is cooked.
And because you live in or
near New York City, you are
particularly fortunate in hav-
ing pure, fresh milk as good as
clean, healthy cows can give.

X7OU break off in the middle
of busy day to go to
lunch. Your mind is keen,
alert, alive.
The menu tempts you. Your
appetite dominates you, and
you eat heartily. Then back to
the job.
But something has happened.
Instead of a quick mental grasp
ofthings, your mind is slow and
lethargic. 1t is no longer ten
acious. The grip you had on
yourself and your problems has
loosened. You have fettercd
your brain with too much food.
The natural function of di-
gcstion is taking most of your
bodily and mental energy.
And so your lunch hour is
actually extended 10 teco or three

Made by a butter expert
in a neU plant

A. E. Hoffman, famous for over 80
years as butter maker, butter Judge
and teacher of butter making, super
vises the production of every pound
of Troco.
He has been distinguished for the
peculiarly sweet and delicate flavor
of his butter.
He puts this same butter sweet
ness and deAc0cy into Troco. If
you are using butter you get the
same flavor in Iroco at half the
price. If you are using margarin
change to Troco and enjoy frue
butter flavor.

Same food value
as butter

Troco is as delicious as butter, as
your first taste will prove. Equally
important, it has the same food value.
II is churned from Pleasant Valley
Farms milk and snowy coconut fat,
the vegetable equivalent for butter
fat. Analysis proves nutritive value
is the same.
With flavor the same and food value
the same, it costs IS to 40 cents q
pound less than best butter. Your
money brings two pounds of Troco
for every one of butter.
Think what this big saving means
when all food prices are so high and
grocery bills climb out of sight.
Figure it for yourself, by the week,
by the month, by the year.
Think what it means not to be
skimped-to be able to serve the most
healthful, necessary and appetizing
of all foods in abundance-to use all
you want and all you should have
without thought of economy.
Think what it means to know you
arc serving the best-sweet, dainty,
nut butter brought to perfection.
We offer a pound of Troco free-an
acquaintance offer. We know Troco
will please you, that you will always
hereafter use it. So we can afford to
buy you this first pound for the sake
of your future custom. Please ac-
cept this gift pound and zee.
