Eating serves Z double purpose
the giving of pleasure, the keeping
up OF strength. m-tooked food re-

in home to do the front house

the parlor and front hall, busted
those two rooms. made the beds and
brushed up the bedrooms. Her

and drag around the kitchen, until
she got a cold. sloppy breakfast on
the table. All the time the man
of the house was in a feverish hurry
to get to his work, and if he stayed
home for breakfast he swallowed ii
