of food which can be dealt with by the digestive tract without overtaxing it.


Enough is better than a


feast because indigestion, and billiousness and other dis­ orders, whilst common suc­ cessors to the latter, are rarely, associated with the former.


There is no waste when


you eat enough—there is no serious after effects when enough is the limit.


And enough in B. & S.


Foods at B. & S. prices makes a wise and advisable economy in the family food bill.
