USE ICE AS A NECESSITY
NOT AS A LUXURY
Do not waste ice, says the United
States Food Administration. Its use
as a luxury to serve with salads, fruit,
and sea foods and to put more than is
necessary in glasses of water, tea and
other drinks should be discouraged. I
There is to be no curtailment on J
the use of ice as a necessity, but it.
should be used carefully in localities
vihere any shortage is indicated. It is
considered a necessity when used to
preserve food and in administering
comfort, and every reasonable effort
will be made to see that families are
supplied with their legitimate needs.

bread is soon to be made public by

discovery of the experimental kitchen
conducted jointly by the Department
of Agriculture and the Food Admin

for the making of three new wheat
substitute breads—the half wheat
loaf, the one-fourth wheat loaf, and
the wheatless loaf. The recipe is ex

Men Welcome
Mother’s Friend
A Doty that Every Man Owes to Those
who Perpetuate the Race.
It Is just as important that men should
know of proper methods in advance of moth
erhood. Suffering, pain and distress inci
dent to childbirth can be avoided by having
at hand a bottle of the time-honored prepa
ration, Mother’s Friend. This is a pene
trating external application that relieves the
tension upon the muscles and enables them
to expand without painful strain upon tha
ligaments and nerves.
Thousands of women for over half a cen
tury who have used Mother’s Friend tell
how they entirely avoided nervous spells
and nausea and preserved a bright, happy
disposition that reflects wonderfully upon the
character fend disposition of the little one
soon to open its eyes in bewilderment at the
joy of his arrival.
By regular use of Mother's Friend during
the period the muscles are made and kept
B liable and elastic. They expand easier when
aby arrives, and pain and danger at the crisis
Is naturally less.
You can obtain Mother’s Friend at any
drug store. It is for external use only, is
absolutely safe and wonderfully effective.
Write to the Bradfield Regulator Cos..
Lamar Bldg., Atlanta, Ga., for their val
uable and instructive “Motherhood Book” of
guidance for expectant mothers, and remem
ber to get a bottle of Mother’s Friend at the
druggist’s today. It is the greatest kind
of help to nature in the glorious work to be
performed.
