SMITH REMEDY COMPANY Washington. D. Sold by Peoples Drug Stores then the Fruit Eaters Hecome PorkEaters Our early ancestors, the Cro- Magnon race, lived entirely on fruits, roots, nuts and vegetables. For protection against the cave bear, who could destroy a wooden hut, they slept on platforms in the treetops. That is why we often dream that we are falling. Tt is a sub- conscious memory left by some remote ancestor who really did “fall out of bed” We never strike the ground in our dreams because neither did our ancestors strile the ground. They were res- cued by friendly lower branches. Else they would have been too “squshy’ to be of much use as ancestors. On one occasion, the Chief of the tribe actually fell almost to the ground. e landed on a wild pig which was sleeping under the tree and saved his own back by breaking piggy’s. The heathen priests said the pig had been sent by their idol to save the Chief. And thev showed their gratitude by cut- ting up piggy and hanging him around the idol's neck to be cooked by the altar fire at the idol's base. They expected the idol to eat the pig. But the idol was so tall that piggy was smoked instead of being roasted. He became the first smoked ham and bacon on record. As the idol failed to the priests decided to themselves in the dead and to tell the tribe that the idol had done it. Never having tasted meat, they approached the task with misgivings. But he tasted so delicious that the Chief Priest stated that “vegetarianism was the bunk.” eat him, eat him of night Next morning they told the peo- ple that the idol had commanded that the entire tribe eat meat henceforth. So the Cro-Mngnons began to domesticate the pigs who became the ancestors of our pres- ent-day porkers. Auth’s Bacon is as big an improvement over the bacon of the Cro-Mag- nons as our present-day White House is over the tree dwelling of the old Cro-Magnon chief 50 years of constant ex- perimenting in selecting and curing pork have produced in Auth’s Bacon a deliciousness of flavor that makes the daily breakfast of the Washing- tonian something to be envied by dwell- ers in distant cities where Auth’s is not on sale.
