WHY IS IT
rpHAT SO MANY MEN AND WOMEN, THAT
should be in the very meridian of life, halt
tremblingly on the edge of the grave? Is it not
because they have -given but little heed to the
question of how and what to eat, how to sleep,
and to obey all the laws of health. Our FAR
MBR GIRL COOK will aid you in the preparation
of that which you eat.
