Notes: Ladies' Home Journal April 1928 No mother will neglect this one obligation IN these days of hurry and bustle, happy is the mother who can give all the time she wants to guarding family health. There's just one obligation that no mother dare neglect-one duty she rightly refuses to delegate to others-that is the choice of the right foods for her family. For on correct diet and proper nourishment, almost all else rests. Health and strength and happiness depend so largely on them. Milk, of course, is the one best food for children-but many mothers are learning that even milk can now be made more strengthening and delicious, simply by adding nourishing, rich Cocomalt. Cocomalt, the new chocolate health food, contains in sound proportion the nourishing elements of cocoa, sugar, malt, eggs, milk protein and milk minerals. Cocomalt almost doubles milk's food value -adds actually 70% more nourishment. It adds those elements children and adults need vitally day to day, but which too often are not adequately present in the diet. Cocomalt is rich in mineral salts for building sturdy bones and teeth -in vitamins and iron for making rich, red blood-in protein for healthy, husky muscles and in carbohydrates for quick, new energy. Its creamy chocolate flavor makes milk a treat. The children love it-take eagerly all the milk they need. The grown-ups like it, too. Buy a can of Cocomalt at your grocer's now. Then shake it up with cold milk- or mix with hot milk right in the cup. Adds 70% more nourishment to milk Instantly prepared. The whole family will enjoy it for breakfast, lunch or supper-or between meals. Or on retiring, to help bring sound sleep. It's a nourishing, rich food-easily digested. Taken readily even by those to whom other good cocoa products are too constipating. Doctors urge the use of Cocomalt for children, adults, convalescents, mothers and the aged. Begin today to build your family's health. If your grocer has no Cocomalt in stock-send us the coupon and 25 cents (30 cents west of Mississippi), the regular retail price. We'll mail postpaid a full half-pound can. But please ask your grocer first. MADE BY DAVIS BAKING POWDER CO. HOBOKEN, N. J. Davis Baking Powder Co., Hoboken, N. J.
