In Peace and in War —in Sickness and in Health—in Good Times and in Bad Times— in all climes and in all seasons— SHREDDED WHEAT is the one staple, universal breakfast cereal and sells at the same price throughout the civilized world. War is always the excuse for increasing the cost of living, but no dealer can raise the price of Shredded Wheat. It is always the same—in price and quality—contains more real nutriment than meat or eggs—is ready-cooked and ready to-serve. Two Shredded Wheat Biscuits, heated in the oven to restore crispness and eaten with milk or cream, will supply all the nutriment needed for a half day's work at a cost of not over four cents. PeHciously nourishing and satisfying for any meal with fruit's or creamed vegetables. Made only by The Shredded Wheat Company, Niagara Falls, N. Y.

Millions of mothers keep this harmless "fruit laxative" handy; they know children love to take it; that it never fails to clean the liver and bowels and sweeten the stomach and that a teaspoonful given to-day saves a sick child to-morrow. It should be the first remedy given as it always does good, never any harm.

Beware of counterfeits sold here. See that it is made by "California Fig Syrup Company." Refuse any other kind with contempt.—Advertisement.
