Says a famous health
writer: "Prunes especially
are high in iron. There
fore, for your own health
and the health of your
children, it is important to
know that prunes should
be eaten the year 'round
and at least once every day.
The American mother
does not know how to take
care of her children un
less she caches them to
eat prunes regularly ".
Forget, for the moment, that Sunsweet Prunes
are brimful of fruit sugar Nature's way of feed
ing her children energy. Set aside the importance
of prunes as a natural laxative from Nature's own
Eharmacy. Do you know that few fruit-foods can
ope to compare with prunes in tonic iron ?
What does the modern doctor do when a child
is brought before him who is anemic pale, list
less, poor in body tone. "Give him iron," he
says at once. How? By feeding him.
Prunes, for example, come first on many a'
physician's list as a fine iron-food a natural body
builder. Because theyi are the finest prunes Cali
fornia produces, Sunsweet Prunes are doubly rich
in fruit sugar and tonic iron two elements that
make for energy and body tone. . ; ,.,
The health-wise mother will see that her chil
dren eat Sunsweet Prunes aplenty in various de
licious ways. She will even let them steal into the
kitchen often so they can "eat'em raw" as big
and Htde youngsters like to do. For she, knows
that the more prunes they eat the better-braced
they will be for winter wear. : ;

Is your appetite uncertain your

Why the food we eat may fail to keep us fit
ONE single food element essential to health!
We now know that many of our inefficien
cies and failures are really due to lack of a
health-maintaining element in food the water
soluble vitamine. Scientists are agreed that with
out this One food factor we lose appetite and
weight and fall off in health.
This is why thousands of men and women who
are. eating otherwise good and wholesome meals
find their energy and vigor slipping. And this is
also why many have little appetite and remain in
a state of lowered vitality. .. .
Today Fleischmann's Yeast is recommended as
a corrective food for overcoming these difficulties,
for Fleischmann's Yeast has been discovered to
be a rich source of the essential vitamine we need
throughout life.
Fleischmann's Yeast is a wholesome, fresh food,
assimilated like any other food. Eat it at any
time, 2 to 3 cakes a day. You will like its fresh,
distinctive flavor and the clean taste it leaves in
your mouth.
Have it on the table at home and try it as
a sandwich filler or spread on crackers. Have
it at your office and eat it at your desk.' It is
good in milk, and many like it just plain. If
troubled with gas dissolve it first in very hot
water. This does not affect the efficacy of
the yeast. Place a standing order with your
grocer for Fleischmann's Yeast and get it fresh
daily. . ..
