SAVE TIME AND MONEY. 



The poet has sung of how free we should 

 all be from trouble and how fast we should 

 grow rich "if we didn't have to eat, eat, 

 eat." The Purina Mills, of St. Louis, have 

 come near to relieving us of the care and 

 expense, while at the same time providing 

 us with necessary food. Ralston Breakfast 

 Food, prepared by the Purina Mills, costs 

 a mere trifle, but it furnishes in delicate 

 and appetizing form the necessary ingre- 

 dients for sustaining life. It is a boon to 

 the housekeeper. It can be cooked in 5 

 minutes, over a gas, oil or alcohol stove. 

 Think what that means to a housewife in 

 summer. A dainty, nourishing breakfast 

 for the family, without heat, labor "or ex- 

 pense ! 



Many of the so-called breakfast foods on 

 the market are simply glutenous masses, 

 unfit to eat. Not so Ralston. It is light, 

 tempting and palatable, and one does not 

 tire of it. Write for a sample to Purina 

 Mills, St. Louis, Mo., and say you saw it 

 advertised in Recreation.

 Somewhere in the sunny South ; 



But he discovered a new drink — 

 Now his name's in every mouth.

 ver and retains a beautiful finish. All the 

 heavy parts of the reel are made of this metal, 

 the bars, spool heads and balance handle
