Just Common Sense and ARMOUR'S EXTRACT of BEEF

It will solve the difficulties of many Housekeepers, cut down the fuel bill, and help you keep a good cook.

First, it offers a means of using up cold roasts, meats, game, and vegetables by replacing the juices lost in the first cooking, restoring the tempting flavor as when first served, and making it possible to add one or two dishes to your menu on short notice simply by the use of ARMOUR'S EXTRACT OF BEEF, hot water, and seasoning—say a bouillon in cups, soup, a sauce, etc.

Using ARMOUR'S EXTRACT OF BEEF reduces the fuel bill because it requires no cooking—add hot water and seasoning, and it's ready. A soup bone requires hours of cooking, and you can't get the flavor, color, and body you do with ARMOUR'S EXTRACT.

It helps keep a good cook because they know its advantages and how their dishes are easily made inexpensive and satisfactory by its use.

ARMOUR'S EXTRACT OF BEEF is the concentrated essence of good, wholesome beef, retaining all the rich beefy flavor of the meat. It brings appetite and strength to the delicate—just the thing for school children. It's as valuable for the sick room as in the kitchen.

"CULINARY WRINKLES" tells how to use it—sent on receipt of the metal cap from the jar or a 2-cent stamp. All grocers and druggists sell it.
