Carter was not in, but she told the girl in charge of the office to tell Mr. Palmer that she had gone to Delhi for a few days. She would let him know later when she would return. Hastily pack- ing a suit case, she was ready to tak the bus when it started at 2 o'clock When Marion arrived at her cous- in's house it was some time before her knock was answered. and then when Margaret answered the sum- mons Marion saw she had been weep ing.

No wonder so many of these mothers are insisting on Corby’s Mother’s Bread —a loaf that is richer in the very elements which growing bodies need. Your Dentist knows that 3 5% of tooth surfaczs of a century, Cotby’s Mother’s Bread fi#s been are uever cleaned by ordinary When you remember that dreaded pyorrhea still attacks 80% of all persons over 35, isn' it time to revolutionize our method of clean- ing teeth? When your dentist shows you that, with ordinary when most carefully done, 35% of the tooth surfaces never are cleaned, isn’t it time to find a better way? In spite of all the tooth brushes and pastes and antiseptics, mouth infection still causes distress and disease to thousands of persons because—until now—there has been NO method of keeping ALL teeth ALL clean. Neo ‘“‘toothhrush” is like thi The Clean-BE-Tween is mnot merely a new brush, but a new ay to clean teeth. The adjust- le brush reaches every tooth surface.

ITTLE GIRLS don’t “just grow” any more —like the immortal Topsy Weighed and charted, dieted and measured —what shin- ing, clear eyed, healthful children they are today! Bundles of energy in truth—they use up just twice as much energy in a day as a grown-up! Motive power that must be furnished with good, simple food —and plenty of it. It is an amazing fact that more than one-fourth of their energy comes from bread aione. Choose it carefully With bread so important a food in children’s diet, mothers are entitled to the very best that skill and science can achieve. “That is one reason why, for more than a quarter chosen by Washington women. They know that no other loaf they can buy is made like this. That bread baked with more sugar, more milk, more shortening ofters more nourishment. And caretul, slow baking insures a firm even texture, a crisp golden :rust. No wonder Cotby’s Mother’s Bread is the most popular bread in and around Washington— wher- ever the quick Cotby setvice reaches. For it is delivered tresh to your own grocer trom each baking. Don’t let another day pass without setving Corby’s Mother’s Bread. The whole tamily will like it. CORBY’S BAKERY = CONTINENTAL BAKING COMPANY CORBY'S MOTHERS | L1 T
