Cecil Rhodes is woman hater.
His sister, Miss Alice Rhodes, is an

that she "hates the whole tribe of

Meat Cake. fsr a DcIIca,, CbiId

For a delicate child or an invalid
there is simple preparation of meat
which contains a great quantity of
nourishment and yet is most easily

and laid for an instant in n very hot,
deep frying pan. They cook at once,
and are most appetizing, and eau be
digested by the weakest stomach.
