was an invalid when the war, which

plucky wife could do but one thing bet

In the cases have cited of cooking

COOKING FOR PROFIT

TIVE ARE so used TO the idea OF the
MAJ Woman's Exchange that we ac-
" cept it as a confirmed institu-
ton. It is not novelty even in
hamlets remote from metropolitan cen
ters. We talk Of "depoeitors" and per
centsges" and commission as fuently
as Of bargain counters and special sales.
All are for the especial benefit of
women who must practice economy and
make the single dollar go a long way.
The Exchange goes a step further than
the bargain Junter. The latter presup-
poses that the aforesaid woman has
IN hand some money TO spend. The Ex-
change recognizes and emphasizes the
morufying fact that she must make her
spending money by her own work.
