EXCELLENT For FOWL OR GAME

Nuts are a food whose flavor is
enjoyed by most people, but cooking
of the present day seems to offer
little opportunity for their use. Why
this should be the case is puzzling
when one considers their worth as a
concentrated food, rich in vegetable
protein and fat, and many, ways in
which nuts may be used in combin-
alton with other foods. For value
received they are even less expen-
sive than many other foods now
considered cheap.
Unfortunately fallaey about the
ligestiAiiity of nuts seems to exist.
The truth is that nuts are easily and
airy completely digested If well
Iasticated and eaten as part of

DEMAND FOR THE

GROWS EVERY DAY
Sealed Orders Prove
Oakland's Fine
Qualities

The display of Oakland ears an
nounced for the ensuing year was
the cynosure of the eyes of the mo-
toring public in our showroom dur
ing the week just past, said w.
H. Lewis, general manager of the
Imperial Valley Finance Corpora
tion, Ell Centre, Oakland dealers.
Eve did manage to keep our or
ganization mighty busy following
the sealed orders, sent ont by the
factory as a. demonstration that the
Oakland is still new model a year
in advance of its contemporaries.
Nothing sensational in the way
of stunts were included in the seal
ed orders. Every order was a bon
afide test or demonstration of Oak
land six performance aud quality.
They were fitting complement to
the announcement that the Oakland
. 6-54 would be continued through
1925 with many refinements and
but few changes. 1t was announced
year ago as the year ahead ear
! '.Our showroom has been well
filled with interested. people all
week and we have booked many Or
ders for future delivery. 1t will be
from week to six weeks before
we viii be able to make deliveries
on all models.
Can Drive Cars
"The sealed orders called for de-
monstrations on the lasting quail
ties of Dueo finish which was first
introduced by Oakland. They
brought out the proof that four,
wheel brakes add to the safety OF
driving under all conditions. The
transmission lock also makes for
safety against theft, the permanent
top affords safety against the. wea-
ther and adds lasting beauty to the
car. The small motor provides the
maximum of power at a minimum
of gasoline consumption resulting
in economy.
"And now to carry through on
this program we are planning a
week of actual driving demonstra
tions. during which we have ar
ranged to have a sufficient number
of cars on hand at all times to per-
nit every interested man or woman
the opportunity to get in and drive II,

is the most convincing manner IN
which to prove the merit OF this

lities and ease of handling especial

ed so much comment all over the

Landau for five passengers to the
