The law defines optometry as the meas-
uring of the powers of the human eye and
the making of lenses for the aid thereof.
Nearly all eye troubles are caused by
defective power or by eye strain and an
Optometrist
is one who devotes his en-
tire attention to relieving
the annoyances thus
caused.
So when you have
trouble with your eyes it
may be to your advantage
to consult

the Preference of Sacramento House-
wives for three-quarters of a century.
For virtually three-quarters of a century
since 1853 has Capital Milk been a sym-
bol of consistent quality and the highest
degree of purity. The faithful maintenance
of these standards throughout the years has
made Capital Milk the favorite of Sacra-
mento housewives.
For all household uses, but particularly
in their cooking do these housewives prefer
Capital Milk, because of its rich, creamy
smoothness and consistency. They have
learned that the delicious flavor of Capital
Milk means much in the success of pies and
cakes, light fluffy biscuits and other tempt-
ing dishes.
In all the recipes in this book that call
for milk, insure best results by using Capital
Milk.
