Ask any of your friends why they H B3 prefer Van Houten's Cocoa to any other, and one will wk m immediately tell you "it has the highest nutritive value; " H m, *%i another will reply "it is more easily digested and assimilated M -«w II ' than other cocoas;" and a third will probably answer "it is {W^^^SM perfect in flavor, and rich in healthy stimulating properties." pj^JZimSiL Bp*&08a tln re P*y to &* question » Why'?
