<«B«*s S! « 1 It i i «*! it mil Delicious!— m-m-m ! My! but those are something like scones! vSo light they almost melt in the mouth! Surprising! Scarcely- it's just a case of the right flour and the right oven. There's only one right flour — Snowball—and if mother did not use it, then, other conditions being equal, mother's scones couldn't be as good.

Snowball Flour helps to make cooking reputations. Try it. Made by the Thistle Folk, proprietors of Creamoata, Thistle Semolina, Doctors' Cream o' Groats. Awarded Gold Medals at XZ. and London Packed in 6|, 12i 25, 50, 100 and 200 lb. bags.
