"Let that giant boy pick you up

explained the ticket. "It's my job

Apple Pie Is First

All hail the luscious apple. When sandwiched in
between two flaky pie crusts it constitutes the most
popular dish in America.
So declare the restaurant owners of middewest-
state, assembled in convention to dictate menu
fashions for the coming year. Next to apple pie,
say they is vegetable SOUP and third place goes
roast beef.
"Pie is highly nutritive," declares Dr. H. F.. Bar
nard of the American Institute Of Baking, who fed
custard pie to rats for a year and found that they
fattened on it.
DR.. Barnard also is authority for the statement
that children need four meals day and that none
of US eat enough He advises people to eat what
they want in defiance of fashions edict for slim
figures.
