They have a fine new flavour—self-devel- oped by a new patented proce: It’s the rare, true flavour of prime, white Indian corn itself, and these New Toasties are the first corn flakes that do not de- pend on cream.and sugar for palatability. The proof of this superior flavour is found by eat- ing some from the package dry. They’re deliciously good that way, but-of course are usually served with creams or good milk. Examine the New Post Toastiesflakes. The. quick, fierce heat of the new process of manufacture, not only raises the-distinguishing little bubbles on each flake, but gives a body and firmmess that makes the New Toasties a more-substantial.-food than ordinary “cotn flakes.” New Post Toasties do not “chaff”” or,crumble in the package, and they don’t mush down when cream is added. They come to you untouched by hand, and in moisture-proof packages that preserve their delightful oven-crispness until served at your table.

When you want to use it you must carry it fn?m its storage place to your range, and of all tasks that is one of the most weary. When you burn wood or coal you have the heat, dirt, and the trouble of attending to the fire. If you use gas you require no room for storage; no back-breaking scut- tles to be carried from the cellar to the kitchen. The fire in the gas range burns steadily and without atten- tion; it is always ready, without dirt or trouble, in large or small quantities.
