BOURN-VITA

THE PERFECT FOOD-DRINK

FOR SUMMER WEATHER

Summer diets are frequently too light to supply the energy needed for carry- ing out the daily routine. Iced Bouri-vita taken regularly is not only a de licious, refreshing beverage, but it is nourishing and stimulating and makes up this deficiency in the diet. Ordinary refreshing drinks so frequently have no food or tonic value.

Boun-vita is rich in valuable mineral salts, phosphates, iron, etc. which are invaluable to the dweller in hot climates. You need a supply of these mineral salts particularly in the summer months when the body is being deprived of these by excessive perspiration.

Bournvita is not too rich for use on the hottest summer day, as the fat con- tent is kept low so that no feeling of heaviness is experienced after its con- sumption. Its high, readily ́assimilable carbohydrate content makes the drink light and readily digestible, at the same time a ready source of energy.

The phosphorus contained in Bournvita in the form of phosphates and lecithin is a valuable tonic food for jaded nerves.

BOURN-VITA RESTORES LOST ENERGY.

THE LIFE OF THE PARTY

The clever hosts and hostesses are not those who go to great pains and efforts to entertain their guests................the clever onaS- ATU those who help the guests to entertain themselves.

Whether the occasion is a bridge foursome, or a party of tables; a small informal gathering, or a large evening's entertains ment...the guests where U.B. Beer is served will want to enjoy themselves....want more....and want to come again.

A supply of U.E. Beer at any party is enjoyed mare..... simpler for the host and hostess.... than all the card tricks and stunts combined.

Make U.B. Beer a regular feature at all your parties
