For dressing up plain food' JT’S surprising how many easy ways you can dress up plain food when a sack of Occo-nee-chee Self-Ris ing Flour is in your kitchen. Left-over meats cooked under a crisp, fluffy biscuit crust become savory pie. Delicious fruit puddings can be made by adding sugar to the batter. Ordinary stew goes farther and tastes so much better when cooked with light, tender dump lings. And Occo-nee-chee Flour is so easy to use. Just mix with water or milk, add shortening and it’s ready for cooking. You save on the cost of baking powder, soda and salt because they’re already mixed in the flour, in exactly the right propor tions. Occo-nee-chee Flour is famous for the delicious bis cuits, waffles and hot cakes it makes—and always suc cessfully. Get a sack from your grocer. The Indian Head is on every bag.
