Household Neuis SOMETHING NEW AND DIFFERENT (See Recipes Below) New Recipes for Your File “Something old and something new” is just as important in menus as it is in a bride’s costume. It’s a good idea, when you plan to experiment with something en tirely new, to in clude in that <^*3 meal one dish you know the ) mil family is really keen about. For instance, if the / dessert is some- W thing very new and different, be sure that the main dish of your meal is one that’s familiar and well-liked. And, it’s an excellent idea, when most of a meal is composed of fam ily favorites, to include one new dish for a touch of variety. It may be a cut of meat that you haven’t used before, prepared in an unusual manner; or perhaps it will be a vegetable that’s new and strange to you; or it might be just an out-of the-ordinary conserve or relish to supplement last summer’s supply, which, by this time is probably run ning very low. You’ll find, here, an assortment of recipes for foods that are unusual and delicious. There’s a new way of preparing shoulder of beef—in one of those easy casserole dishes you like to serve, where you don’t want to spend too much time in the kitchen; serve the Baked Shoulder Steak with baked or scalloped pota toes, buttered green beans and rhu barb pie, and watch your family beam! “Pork chop treat” served with a crisp, chilled salad of lettuce, ap ples, and dates, needs only a bev erage, bread and a favorite dessert to make a completely satisfying meal; and if you want to please the man of the family in any kind of weather, serve “pork chops deli cious” with cheese biscuits, a sim ple green salad, lemon meringue pie and coffee.

So you need both Pepsin to help break up fast that rich undigested food in I your stomach, and Laxative Senna to pull the trigger on those lazy bowels. So be sure your laxative also contains Pepsin. Take Dr. Caldwell’s Laxative, because its Syrup Pepsin helps you gain that won derful stomach com fort, while the Laxative i Senna moves your bowels. Tests prove the , power of Pepsin to dissolve those lumps of undigested protein food which may linger in your stomach, to cause belching, gastric acidity and nausea. This is how pepsin izing your stomach helps relieve it of such distress. At the same time this medicine wakes up lazy nerves and muscles in your bowels to relieve your constipation. So see how much better you feel by taking the laxative that also puts Pepsin to work on that stomach discomfort, too. Even fin icky children love to taste this pleasant family laxative.
