ADVERTISEMENTS

+A WORD ABOUT THE ADVERTISEMENTS.+

Readers of the Healthy Life Booklets will doubtless be glad to know that only those advertisements of foods that can be conscientiously recommended are accepted. This necessarily limits the number of advertisements, but has the advantage of making them really serviceable.

The publisher has no pecuniary interest in any of the firms mentioned, and therefore feels quite free to give his testimony to the worth of their goods.

+"Artox" Flour.+

This is so finely ground that, although wholemeal, it may be used in the manufacture even of sponge cake, while for bread it is unsurpassable.

+Digestive Tea.+

Tea-drinking is considered to be very injurious, but the habit is difficult, apparently impossible, for some people to overcome, and therefore the Universal Digestive Tea supplies a real need. A tea minus tannin is a boon to everyone, but especially to the sufferers from dyspepsia and nervous complaints.

+Fry's Cocoa.+

This cocoa has stood the test of time and chemists for so long now as hardly to need further testimony as to its genuineness.

+International Health Association.+

They supply thoroughly pure foods, and readers will do well to take advantage of their offer to send samples to test for themselves.

+Mapleton's Nut Foods.+

Their Nutter is quite the best vegetable cooking fat on the market, and makes excellent pastry. A pie-crust made of Nutter and "Artox" Flour is a revelation to the uninitiated. The Nut Butters are also very good, especially the uncoloured varieties labelled "Wallaceite."

+Shearns.+

Mr. Shearn is the acknowledged "Fruit King" of the Food Reform movement. The grand fruit shop in Tottenham Court Road, to which is now added a vegetarian restaurant, is familiar to most Food Reformers who live in or near London. Others will be glad to know of Shearn's Stores where all the latest "Food Reform" specialities are stocked. A catalogue can be obtained on application.

+Wallace Bakery.+

This is the only bakery in existence which supplies bread, cakes, etc., made with very fine wholemeal flour, and entirely free from yeast and chemicals. The Wallace Bakery is a boon and a blessing to Physical Regenerationists.

* * * * *

+A HEALTHY LIFE BOOKLET FREE+

It has many valuable recipes for Food Reformers and Invalids, and tells all about

+"ARTOX" WHOLE MEAL,+

which is made from the finest whole wheat, and is so finely ground by old-fashioned stone mills that it can be digested by the most delicate. It makes the most delicious Bread, Cakes, Biscuits, and Pastry, and is an entire safeguard against Constipation when used regularly in place of white flour. It is strongly recommended by _The Lancet_ and by Mrs. Leigh Hunt Wallace (_Herald of Health_) and is used exclusively in the Wallace Bakery. Sold by Health Stores and Grocers everywhere in 7 lb. sealed linen bags, or 28 lbs. sent direct for 4s. 6d. carriage paid. _Important._--"Artox" Wholemeal is only retailed in our sealed bags, and is _not_ sold loose.

+WILL YOU TRY A CUP OF TEA+

that, instead of injuring your nerves and toughening your food, is

+Absolutely Safe and Delightful?+

2s. 2d.; 2s. 10d.; and 3s. 6d. per lb.

+THE UNIVERSAL DIGESTIVE TEA+ is ordinary Tea treated with oxygen, which neutralises the injurious tannin. Every pound of ordinary tea contains about two ounces of tannin. Tannin is a powerful astringent subject to tan skins into leather. The tannin in ordinary tea tans, or hardens, the lining of the digestive organs, also the food eaten. This prevents the healthful nourishment of the body, and undoubtedly eventuates in nervous disorders.

On receipt of a post card the UNIVERSAL DIGESTIVE TEA CO., Ltd., Colonial Warehouse, Kendal, will send a sample of this Tea and name of nearest Agent, also a Descriptive Pamphlet compiled by Albert Broadbent, Author of "Science in the Daily Meal," &c. Where no agent, 1 lb. and upwards will be sent post free.

+Ideal Foods for Every Day.+

The I.H.A. Health Foods are called Health Foods because they do actually build up the body, and make directly for better health all round.

They are Ideal Foods because they are made only from such products as wheat, nuts, etc.; because they are thoroughly cooked and easily digested; because they are absolutely pure; because they are manufactured with scrupulous care and cleanliness in an ideal factory in the open country.

They are ideal foods for every day because they furnish a wide variety of dishes at a low cost, and because they are all pleasant to the taste.

The I.H.A. Health Foods are sold by all Health Food Stores, or direct on easy terms.

We offer to send you three liberal samples and a beautifully illustrated price list, containing full details and many valuable recipes, for 2d. stamps, or price list post free on application.

+A Word about Nut Foods.+

The high value of Nuts has long been known, but until lately no attempt has been made to manufacture them in a form available for domestic use. This, however, is now changed, as a splendid variety of excellent preparations are ready to hand, owing to the enterprise of +Messrs. Mapleton+, in the shape of such useful products as +Nutter+ and +Nutter Suet+, which supersedes Lard, Suet, and Cooking Butter in the kitchen. Also delicious Table Butters--+Walnut+, +Cocoanut+, and +Cashew+--all of which are four times as nutritious as Dairy Butter. Other goods are +Nut Meat, Nut Gravy, Nut Biscuits, Nut Cakes, Fruitarian Cakes,+ &c. A Post Card will bring a Booklet describing these goods, with Recipes for their use, on application to

+A GUIDE TO GOOD THINGS.+

There are thousands of folk all over the country who are beginning to feel vaguely that their usual diet is not all it should be, and that it tends to produce discomfort and disease. Many of them would be glad to make a change if they knew how. Our booklet, "A Guide to Good Things," will help them. It contains an interesting article on "How To Start," and gives a complete menu for a week in which the foods that supply the place of the less wholesome fish, bacon, or meat, are clearly indicated.

There are also several pages of delightful recipes that will help to gladden the table of any housewife in the kingdom, and in addition there is a complete price list of every health food upon the market that can be recommended, and of the most up-to-date and novel appliances for cooking and preparing food.

There is an all but endless array of breakfast foods--bread, cakes, biscuits, etc., etc., that are not only beneficial because of what they contain, but are free from the injurious chemical adulterants so largely used nowadays.

But send for our booklet and see for yourself what it contains, or if you are near give us a call. You may shop, lunch, dine, and take tea with us. Our Health Food Stores will supply everything you need for a perfect health diet. Our Fruit Stores will supply you with the choicest fruit on the most moderate terms, and in large quantities at wholesale prices. Our Fruit Luncheon Rooms are the talk of London, and you can get a delightful fruit meal amid flowers and palms from 6d.

If you cannot call, send six penny stamps, and in return we will send you, together with the booklet, a sample of our Frunut, reg. (a preparation of selected nuts and fruit that is as delightful as it is sustaining); samples of Stamanut Wholemeal Biscuits (a valuable and most economical food), and of our Afternoon Tea Biscuits, and a good sample of our Special Pale Roasted Coffee. The whole post free for 6d.

You will be delighted with it all.

+A Bakery based on Principle.+

When so many manufactured foods are more or less adulterated--even such everyday articles as Bread and Biscuits being no exceptions--it is good news to know that Delicious Biscuits, Bread, Cakes, &c., can be obtained which are guaranteed, and proved by frequent analysis to be, absolutely free from any impurity whatever. The goods referred to are made by

+The WALLACE P.R. FOODS Co.,+

which was founded on certain definite scientific principles, and those principles are unswervingly applied to every detail of its varied activities.

Within its clean and airy precincts are manufactured the famous Barley Malt Biscuits (and some thirty other varieties), rich and wholesome Cakes, air-raised Bread, pure Preserves, a specially prepared Barley Malt Meal, Pale Roasted Coffee, and Stamina Food--this last being the best-balanced food for Infants and Invalids yet produced. In the making of these foods only the very choicest ingredients are employed; the only flour used is a very fine wholemeal; the butter and milk are sterilised and the water distilled, while all such impurities as Yeast, Baking Powder, and Chemicals are strictly avoided.

The experience of thousands proves that the daily use of "WALLACEITE" (reg.) P.R. Foods is a veritable highway to health. They build up the body and keep it in working order as do no other foods.

They can be obtained from all Health Food Stores.
