KEEP THE VITAMINS IN Prepare Your Breakfast The Easy Way ; Authorities agree that breakfast is a very im portant meal, that it should provide one-third of the daily food energy requirements! Grain foods will furnish them. Include at least one of the various forms of cereal in your daily break fast menu. Waffles also, once a special treat, are now a quick and easy to prepare breakfast with an *economical waffle mix. Don’t forget pancakes, the old American standby, ready- mixed too, just add water or milk and bake. Get them all at King’s. Service with a smile. King’s Grocery and Market Keep lima beans and peas cold and don’t shell them until' just before cooking time. This saves vitamins. CONSERVATION 1« the Keynote Today! It’s a wise policy at any time.

A Nation Wide Hearing Service Sonotone Of Portland 321 Failing Building, Portland, Oregon. Thanks A Million Folks for Your Swell Cooperation and Patience! There are numerous, unavoidable delays in our radio and appliance repair service. Due to war priorities, some parts; tubes, bat teries, elements, controls, switches, etc., are very scarce and some are just, not obtainable. When some types of tubes are not available, sockets must be rewired to accomodate another type of tube that is available. This takes much more work and time. It may take hours to re pair a receiver, when formerly it required just a few minutes. Radios are being played more, getting older, breaking down oftener, and therefore requir ing more service in.general than ever before. No new ones are being manufactured for civ ilian use to replace those worn out. Lack of new radios is taxing the parts and service facilities to the limit. Conserve your radio as much as possible. Save and prolong the life of your tubes, con densers, transformers, etc., by turning the ra dio off when not in use. Help to make it last! Remember, one burned out tube can lay your radio up for the duration if that tube or a substitute type is not available. ■ As soon as the material is received, every effort will be made to get your radio repaired and back to you at the earliest possible date. THANKS AGAIN FOR YOUR PATIENCE. YOU ARE ALL SWELL AND I APPRECIATE IT A LOT!
