ULY PONS, FOR EXAMPLE
It’s a whirlwind life-trying to
keepup with versatile VAN JOHNSON*
behind the camera as well as before
it. But Van’s young admirer has the
stamina. He gets extra food-energy
from Royal Puddings.
Every package of Royal Pudding
contains more food-energy than a
full pint of sweet, fresh milk! Mothers
know the magic in milk—so rich in
proteins, vitamins, minerals—food-
energy, too. And youngsters love the
rich, creamy-smooth taste of Royal

Her crushed body was hurried to
the Maryland General Hospital,
where she died a half-hour later.

Good Looks...
Begin With Good Breakfasts
You can't expect to look your beat if you turn up your
nose at breakfast! Skimping on breakfast won’t make you
lose weight . . . but it will cheat you out of the pep and
sparkle that makes you good to look at and fun to be with.
Be.sure you eat a good breakfast with cereal and fruit.
It's the smooth way to a smooth day!

Vitamins, minerals, proteins . . . that’s
what helps make healthy bodies, clear
complexions and bright eyes. And that's what makes
Skinner's Raisin-Bran so good for you. You’ll like those
toasted flakes of sun-ripe wheat. They’re crisp ... so crisp
they stay crunchy when you pour on milk or cream. And
in every spoonful you'll find Skinner's taste surprise . . .
sweet, chewy King-Size raisins. They're rich in easily
digested fruit sugar, a quick energy food.
A WHOLE HALF POUND OF GRAPES
FOR EVERY BOX
It takes a whole half-pound of the
choicest, sweetest Thompson seed-

just one single box of Skinner’s
