Foods that build health can be Palate-Tempting

RECIPES that actually make your mouth water may now be made from the most healthful of health foods!

At Battle Creek, diet specialists have given attention to the taste and flavor as well as to health. Meatless dishes abounding in strength-giving qualities now rival choicest beef and chicken. Cereals that have a tang of parched wheat or a crunchy crispness call for second helpings. A food drink, rich as milk, makes the most delicious ice cream and salad garnish.

You have only to pause where the smartest people congregate, you have only to check the social register, and you will inevitably discover a preponderance of Cadillacs and La Salles . . . The simple, bald fact about this is that men and women who know motor cars know too that if they want to ride and drive as Cadillac-La Salle ride and drive they must eliminate every other car from consideration . . .

Envy the savage? Yes!

This ancient savage had to work hard to get a fire — and his cookery wasn’t expert. But his rough, primitive fare exercised his teeth — kept them strong and healthy. We moderns eat soft, civilized foods — our teeth get too little healthful exercise.

DENTYNE HELPS KEEP TEETH SOUNDER, WHITER. You find yourself chewing more vigorously because of Dentyne’s specially firm consistency. Mouth and teeth get wholesome exercise, salivary glands are stimulated, promoting natural self-cleansing. Dentyne’s a proved aid to stronger whiter teeth!

THE FLAVORS A JOY! Spicy, smooth-tasting, delicious! You’ll welcome Dentyne for its flavor alone—and you’ll find the Dentyne package specially convenient to carry in pocket or purse (its smartly flat shape is an exclusive Dentyne feature.)

Three-Dimensional Showman

Here’s Charles McArthur, the man who’s responsible for an entirely novel idea in display advertising— “signs that live.”

By Roland Cueva

IN New York’s Grand Central Terminal a good-looking, gray-haired man stared intently at a big advertising sign on the station wall. The bright-colored sign was not flat like a poster, but had three-dimensional depth and was set in a frame like a marionette show.
