Telephones Are Indispensable.

The growth of the telephone bust
ness has been enormous in recent
years. The statement has been made
that there are now in use in the
country upward of 100000 telephone
instruments and that great majority
of these have been put in place during
the past ten years. More than 200 900
telephones have been placed in farm
houses within a few years. The in

LoNDoN's PusLlc KITCHENS.
Cheaper and Better Dinners Than Can
Be Cooked at Home.

In one respect London Is in advance

Some years ago man of means, who
combined good business sense and
philanthropic disposition and who be-
lieved that people of moderate in
comes suffered from kitchen extrava-
gance and also from poor cooking, es-
tablished system of public kitchens.
At the start the press paid much at
tentiop 70 the enterprise, but after the
novelty wore off nothing was said
about It. A recent experience shows
that its success has been positive and
it may well prove an example for all
the world.
Large kitchens were placed in vari-
Gus crowded centers, within the reach
of people of small but assured in
comes. From one of these a family
may order dinner from an attractive
bill of fare and have it delivered at q
given minute in perfect condition. The
establishment will, if required, pro-
vide the help to serve the meal. Or,
if it be preferred, the housewife may
do her own marketing and have her
own roast and other articles prepared
for the table in the public kitchen.
1t is obvious that a dinner for q
tuOuSduQ persons can De cooked at q
lower rate for each than can dinner
for an ordinary family. Not only is
there a saving in the fuel, but by buy
ing in large quantities it is practicable
to get everything at lower price. All
the work and annoyance and heat of
cooking, the time and labor of dish
washing and the like, are avoided.
The head cook employed in the public
kitchen is an expert and an artist. It
has been announced that family may
get better dinner for a much lower
price from the kitchen than it can get
under the home cooking system
