an institution, as unsssailable as the
constitution. 1t is more than that.
The constitution has been assailed,
is being assaulted and will be assaulted.
1t has been amended, commended and
condemned; cusscd, discussed and
generally manhandled and maltreated.
But no reformer, professional or ANA
teur has ever dared to raise the quay
cring voice of protest against Hubig's
Famous Honcy-Fruit Pies.
Occasionally some "quack" doctor,
seeking publicity by whatever doubt
full means has decreed that hot mince
pie should not be eaten after mid
night. But one bite of such mince
pie as Hubig makes will put speedy
end to such an unwarranted assault
on this tOothsomc necessity of life.
r Here in America. VIC have Hubig's
Famous Honey-Fruit Pie. peace and
Russia has chaos and no
pie. The one benefit to Germany of
the World War was the introduction
of American pie by the troops of the
occupied zone and spreading the
knowledge of pie as panacea for
all ills.
PIE IN HISTORY.
England and France have avertcd
the calamity that has bcfallcn Rus
sia. These two great nations have a
passable-(for Europeans)-substi-
tute for Hubig's Famous Honey-Fruit
Pie. If Caillaux will spread the gos-
pei of pie in the Chamber of Deputies
and forget the disappointing results
of his recent mission to this country
America and France will soon find
a common meeting ground on the
vexing debt question.
Who can say how the pages OF
history might read had Hubig's Fa-
nous Honey-Fruit Pic held the place
in past generations that it holds to-
day? Eaters of meat are proverbially
warlike but who is there among those
characters that stand out in history
that could have nursed a grudgc
against his neighbor with his teeth
buried in wedge of Hubig's Famous
Pie?
STOPPED TRAGEDIES.
Women have always been keenly
aware of the influence of pie. Is 1t
altogether improbable that Eve pluck
ed the apple for the purpose of max
ing Adam a pie of it? How much
mere neighborly it would have been

Had Calpurnia served Hubig's Fa-

might have so won their hearts that

to such an extent that he would

AFFECT ON WRITER'S.
Even our literature might have been
vastly different had the influence OF
Hubig's Famous Honey-Fruit Pie
been brought to bear on our earlier
writers. One might go on indefinitely
hazarding guesses as to the possible
changes in Shakespeare alone, for IN
stance.
Could the gentle Duncan have COM
plimented Lady Macbeth on her taste
in serving Hubig's Famous Honey
Fruit Pie there is no doubt but she
would never have urged Macbeth to
kill his king and guest. These three
ungrateful daughters of Lear could
easily have bent the old king to their
will could they have Frightened ms
declining years with an occasional
snack OF Hubig's Famous Honey
Fruit Pie. The half-mad Prince
Hamlet could have found it in his
heart to condone his mothers speedy
marriage to his uncle had he known
that the queen had won the heart OF
her brother-in-law by serving him
such pie MS that of Simon the Pie
man and Richard might well have
cried: "A pie, My kingdom for a
pie."
NOURISH BRAIN.
How might the blindness of Nil.
ton been assuaged by wedge OF
Hubig's Famous Honey-Fruit apple
pie and n piece of good cheese! What
might Byron, Browning and Shelly
have given us with Hubig's Famous
Honey-Fruit Pie as background for
their scintillating genius?
And as an actual example OF the
potency of pie in nourishing brain
as well as Drawn, look at our own
immortal FRA Elbertus," whose be-
loved wife, Alice. served him with
good old New England pumpkin and
mince pies as steady diet.
"a piece of pie. jug of wine ~
would that not be as poetical as "A
loaf of bread, jug of mine" But
why 90 on? We have Hubig's Fa-
nous Honey-Fruit Pie and the sup
MY is ample but we shudder to con-
template what would become of our
boasted civilization without it.
