every part OF the known world. and
has found It's way into the most re-
mote corners OF our homes. The girl.
whether from town or country, who
finds herself unacquainted In IA small
measure with the line Of progress. In
like the raw recruit In the ranks OF
war who knows not the call of tho
buglc.

order OF things and makes Il seem

law and order by which she is con-
trolled."
A change has come about In every
line Of houaowork. Beds are made
vastly different from tho manner OF

claim their share OF new treatment.
the carpet sweeper ana vacuum
cleaners have come TO stay, and
Thousands OF other changes mark the
progress OF the house.

more evident than upon the family
table. The amount or food placed
upon the family board n perhaps no
greater. but the varieties of ways the
food IL prepared fan 90 bring tho
same duh monotony. The reckless.
crowded. easy method of serving tho
family dinner has gone. and today
the cry comes for three things
l. Palatable. nonrishinE food.
2. Cleanliness.
3. Simplicity Of service.
