I SAVE MUCH MONEY
Instead of yo much meat u great many
Omaha housekeepers are now Bervlng
"Minnesota" Macaroni twice a week.
They say the men folks are not only glad
to see them save the meat money, but
llko the delicious nut-like flavor of "Min
nesota" Macaroni much better than meat.
To those who do not know what a big
difference there Is In macaroni as sold
at the stores, the rich, delicious, flavor of
"Minnesota" Macaroni will be a revela
tion. It Is four times as nutritious as,
beef-steak, Is much easier to digest and
costs only about one cent a dish.
