    . We faake--4heBe^o show more women what Jiffy- —all for a few cents. Jell means to 'them. • Jiffy-Jell differs vastly from other quick gelatine desserts. Each package contains a bottle of condensed fruit juice.

    We crush the fruit, condense the juice, and bring you real fruit in abundance in these Jiffy-Jell desserts.

    That's the important point. Flavor is mere taste, and often artificial. The fruit itself is rich in earthy salts. Everybody needs it eVery day.

    For a Few Cents Fresh fruit and canned fruit

    are expensive. Here are rich fruit, dainties which are not.

    And they are rich in fruit. Half a pineapple, for instance, is used to flavor one Jiffy-Jell dessert Thert almost a whole lemon is used to acidulate the mixture.

    Yet a package of Jiffy-Jell serves six people in mold form,

    It is also quick. Simply add boiling Water, as directed on package, then the .••' fruit-juice flavor f r o m t h e v i a l , a n d l e t c o o l .

    Try These Flavors Try loganberry and Pine-

    apple for desserts. Try Lime-fruit flavor. . It makes a tart, green salad jell. Mix in your salad before cooling. Or mix in meat scraps and make an appetizing meat loaf.

    Try Mint flavor. It makes a zestful m'nt jell to serve with meats or as a side dish.

    Try them now. Then send us the end labels which men-tion the flavor, and get the Jiffy Cup and any of our molds.

    See the coupon. Cut it but so you won't forget.
