Young Mrs Smith couldn't make out why her cakes, custards, etc., -were always left by her guests. One day she confided to her neighbour, who gave her a wealth of practical advice. "To be quite candid, my dear," answered Mts Jones, ''your cooking is splendid, but it is so tasteless. Tho very next time you make cakes, blanc manges, custards and other dainties, just use a few drops of 'Cathedral Brand' Essences. They make all the difference in the world. I always use 'Cathedral Brand' because it's so much stronger than any other brand, and gives even the most homely dish such a delicious flavour. Don't be without a bottle of "Cathedral Brand" Essence—it's the most important ingredient on bake days. Highly concentrated, the -Vanilla Essence is actually much stronger than is required by "The Pure Foods Act." "Cathedral Brand" Essences are sold by all stores —in ordinary size and big economy bottles. Send 4d in stamps to cover postage and wrapping, to H. F. Stevens, "Cathedral Brand" Essences, Christchurch, and a copy of Free Cookery Book, compiled by Miss Trent, New Zealand's leading Cookery Expert, will be sent in return. —1 '■ Keen "NAZOL" handy in your office, snop, or home.
