SHREDDED WHEAT
and Strawberries
Cut out meat and potatoes for a while and
try this dish —a dainty, delicious, nourish

its biscuit form Shredded Wheat combines
most naturally and deliciously with all
kinds of fresh fruits.
Heat one or more Biscuits in the oven to restore crisp
neon ; then cover with berries or other fresh fruit; servo
with milk or cream and sweeten to suit the taste. Better
than soggy white flour "short-cake".

How to Keep Well in Winter
Do not let your blood get thin this
winter. For people who have a ten
dency toward anaemia, or bloodless
ness, winter is a trying season. Lack
of exercise and fresh air, the more re
stricted diet, many things combine to
lower the tone of the body and de
plete the blood.
As soon as you notice the tired feel
ing, lack of appetite and shortness of
breath that are warning symptoms of
thin blood take a short treatment of
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Do not wait
until the color has entirely left your
cheeks, until your lips are white, your
eyes dull and your ears like mother
of pearl. It is so much easier to cor
rect thinning of the blood in the earl,
ier stages than later.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills build up
the blood and strengthen the nerves
In this way the general health is im
proved, the appetite increases, the di
gestion is strengthened and new am
bition and energy developed. Work
becomes easier because it does not
cause exhaustion.
Keep your system at Its highest effi
ciency with Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
the great blood builder and nerve
tonic. Your own druggist can supply
you. A booklet "Building Up the
Blood" will be mailed free on request
by the Dr. Williams Medicine Co.,
Schenectady, N. Y. It is well worth
studying by all who do not enjoy com
plete health.—Advertisement.
