You can mix a good cocktail. If you have the finest of old liquors and years of experi- ence in blending.

G. F. HEUBLEIN & BRO. Hartford New York London Importers of the Famous BRAND’S A-1 SAUCE The Search-light on Congress On February 1, 1916, a new magazine was launched, at Washington, D. C. called “ The Search-Light on Congress.” It is to be published monthly by “ The National Voters’ League to Acquaint the People with Their Law Makers.” Among the persons on the Executive Committee, which is supposed to direct the publish- ing of the magazine, we find such names as Miss Ida M.

Something of the sky and air, as the blue birds wing their way across it, is caught upon the cover of this package. The Dresden box is white as a billowy cloud. The birds are hand-painted upon it. No lettering is visible. It would be a dull eye, indeed, that would not respond to this lightsome picture with a little thrill of gladness.

You have your choice of chocolates or confections—in either event you are certain of a “right royal feast for your tongue.” One dollar and twenty-five cents the pound, in one, two or three pound boxes. A Whitman's Agent (usually the leading drug store) near you will have this package. If he hes not, send us your order with directions for forwarding. ‘Ask the Agent or us for our book: “Whitman's for Every Occasion.” STEPHEN F. WHITMAN & SON, Inc., Philadelphia, U.S. A.
