A FREE BOOKLET OF
MEAT FACTS AND
RECIPES.

All kinds Of meat are so
expensive nowadays that in
telligcnt buying is a very neces-
sary measure of economy.
You can't tell what meat is
costing you by looking at the
price per pound. You must
know how much of that pound
is waste and how much nour-
ishment there is in the remain
der.
The government experts in
nutrition have prepared an au-
thoritative booklet on the eco
nomical use of meat in the
home. This booklet explains
the value of meat as food, the
amount of food value in vari-
GUS cuts and their relation to
meat prices, the actual and
apparent cost of different cuts,
as well as economical and at
tractive ways of preparing
meat for the table.
Every housewife should write
today for a copy of this econ
