The housewife's day is a race with - »the kitchen clock. If by chance it is a losing race then you'll have a "snack" for lunch and' "pot luck" for dinner. Men-folk never mind, though, if thero is a bottle of the new sweet-tasting ; Military Worcester Sauce on the table. ■ Military Worcester gives a piquant , flavour "to plain meals. All grocers. EEDUCING WITHOUT DRUGS. Here is a safer and better way to reduce: Simply rub Espanol Solvent into the fatty parts of the body. Witli- - in a few days reduction is clearly noticeable. Espanol Solvent extracts the fatty waste matters from the pores and carries it away through the system. Puller .particulars from E. Cameron Smith, The Big Chemist, New!
