ISN'T TT WONDERFUL.

Comparatively speaking only a
few years ago, people were COM
PEELED to spend a week or n month
on the road to travel n hundred or
so miles. Great hardships attend
ed these Journeys; the nights had to
be spent In the open because the
country was not settled thickly
enough to allow travellers the luxury
TO sleep in a bed under a roof. Vari-
Gus Inventions, such as the locomo-
tive, the parlor and sleeping cars
make II a luxury to travel today.
Work OF all kinds has been made
easier for everyone. All are aware
OF this. Yet, housekeepers drudge
along with their work In the old
way, when they could, by merely US
ing the many suggestions which are
put before them, make play OF their
work. The Bluefeld Daily Leader
has by special arrangement, Sc
cured the distribution OF a work
which now is in many homes. None
think Of being without 1t again at
any price. The name OF this great
work is the Consolidated Library of
Cooking and Household Recipes.
More than 5000 practical recipes
are contained in It's FIVE volumes.
suggestions OF the greatest impor-
lance to every housekeeper are
found here by the hundred; all OF
these have been tried and proven
themselves to be of the greatest
help and to tighten the work OF the
housekeeper. Many of our sub
sGribers have taken advantage OF
our special price offer, and already
more than one-half OF our entire al
lotment has been placed. inquiries
for the work have come in mo g
rapidly than we could handle them.
After our present allotment has been
exhausted we shall not be able to
furnish the books at the same low
price. The publishers themselves
will take control fthe sale and tn,
price of the books will be advanced
considerably.
If you care to secure a set of thu

or two will save you their cost. Send
