Caption on back: Every American mother has wished time and again for some appetizing and healthful beverage to give her growing children, when they get tired of milk, and begin to ask for coffee. The answer is DRINKET The Children's Beverage. The Director in charge of the food analysis of one of America's greatest universities made an analysis of Drinket and his report says: "Drinket contains all the mineral salts required for body growth. I can safely say Drinket would be a valuable addition to the diet of all; but especially for the growing child." Parks Hygiene 1911, a medical book famous as an authority the world over, on page 315 states: "Mineral salts are required in the diet of all ages, but more especially for infants and children." Drinket comes very close to coffee in appearance and aroma, but unlike coffee substitutes, Drinket contains no molasses. That's why the flavor of Drinket is so enjoyable. Make Drinket in the cpu. Place one-half of a level teaspoonful in cup - add boiling hot water and stir until dissolved - then cream and sugar it to suit taste. If desired cold, pour over cracked ice. W. K.
