Al L e ) - “Pride and Prejudice” very woman who has read the old novel knows of the woes that comewhere “Pride and Prejudice” rule. It’s an old story ever new. Prejudice is now keeping many women from using the pure, healthful Spread for Bread— Nucoa Made from the snow-white fat of the cocoanut. Nucoa is a product which adds quality to the \ table, yet costs just half as much as the usual best spread. And here Pride enters too, Many housekeepers who have to study economy and who do not know | that their richer neighbors are us- ing Nucoa, are too proud to buy any but the most expensive ! spreads. N. B. Setaside Pride and Prejudice. Buy a pound of Nucoa—it comes in a protecting carton. Try it if you’re not proud to say that you use it, return it to your grocer. He will refund your money without pre- judice or quibble. $10.43 Miller Gear to Road ASKS CVIL SERVICE FOR DRY OFFICERS enator Sterling to Intro- duce New Bill at Next Session of Congress. l | s | | The fight to have agents and inspec- | | tors of the prohibition field service | placea under civil service will be re- | newed when Congress meets agatn, | Senator Sterling, South Dakota, chair- | man of the Senate civiliservice com- | mittee, announces.
