"From Soup to Nuts" not only tells in a simple, un
derstandable way about food values and food com
binations so that the home-maker can get the most
palatable, nourishing food for the least money, but
explains the use of Sawtay, a pure vegetable fat, in
every branch of cookery, in such a way as to revolu
tionize housekeeping make it easier, simpler, more
economical.
The saving of animal fata butter .and lard is one
of the Government's urgent requests. Sawtay is a
snow-white vegetable butter made from the rich
cream of tropical nuts. In every recipe 'calling for
butter, lard or other fats, Sawtay gives better results.
The New Conservation Sawtay Recipes
solve the problem of what to have for breakfast,
lunch and dinner simple dishes for all tastes and all
pocketbooks, as well as plenty of delightful "extras"
for holiday dinners and other special occasions.
"From Soup to Nuts" is a complete little Gastronomic
Journey, starting with soups and their food value,
going on to entrees, then to fish and meats their
place in the dietary; vegetables, salads, sauces, des
serts, candies, and ending with salted and glace nuts.
There is a special chapter on "Left Overs" and some
hints as to how the French womarj has gained her
reputation as the best housekeeper in the world.

mother's milk itself.
It is a complete food for your baby
