K ___ THAT GOOD HEALTH IS MADE OF
EBOTMM)

' \' 'u, \ Bonano is a delicious hot beverage, fra-
/ grant, nourishing and wholesome. It spicy
(fM aroma, a rich fruity flavor and a full bland *bcdy”
- ~ ** all its own.
It has the nourishment that builds sound bodies, that puts sane energy into the brain,
and spring into the walk. It is a food drink for use morning, noon and night. Every cup
of it contains part of the good health you ought to have. •
Bonano is made only from the meat of different varieties of ripe bananas harvested
and dried in the tropics, then granulated, roasted and blended under our own processes.
A 25 cent dust and moisture proof can from your grocer will make 75 cups of a
delicious, savory beverage. It is just as easy to make as a cup of coffee, and a great deal
more satisfying and economical.
Bonano is good for the children. It will let them drink like “grown-ups” and at
the same time give them health and strength.

dog.
Don’t rest the muzzle of your gun
on your toes.
Don’t kill game wantonly. Stop
when you have all you need.
Don’t get rattled. Keep cool, nc
matter how big the game you are
after.
Don’t shoot toward houses or fields
with long range guns when you are
anywhere near them.
Don’t leave squirrel tails hanging
out of your game hags or pocket for
some other sportsman to take a shot
at.
Don’t forget that a gun is a danger
ous instrument, yet harmless as a
piece of wood if yon use judgment
and cantion in its handling.
Don’t pull your gun after you
when you climb or crawl through a
barbed wife fence Push it through
first with the muzzle away from yon.
If you fall in going down steep

the muzzle pointed the other way.
Don’t sheot even approximately
in the direction of any one in the
woods, as a glancing bullet may
strike quite a bit to one side of the
object at which yon aim.
Don’t foret that the smaller a rifle
or shotgun the more steady you mast
hold it when yon shoot. It takes a
mighty good shot to do long range
shooting with a small target rifle.
I Don't pull the trigger until you
are sure yon kßow what you are shoot

in their graves now because in a
quick glance the nervous hunter took
them to be a deer or a wild turkey
among the bashes.
If yon are in the woods a long time
and do a let of shooting, don’t fait

buyers came frcxn all corners of the

and found that it been bargain
dav for the venders instead of the
bnyers, that a better apple coaid be
purchased of the home merchant at
the same price.—Platteville News.
