The Womsn's Relief Corps, the
Womau's Club, the Isabella Tosrist
Club and the Mosday Afternoon Clsb

of commerce finds it absolutely nee
e~sary. after going over the situation
With everyone who might have any
knowledge Of the question, to ask
the people to help out, particularly
by making rates just as low rs pos

Cheap living is, the committee
finds, one of the greatest attractions

where the school itself is new.

Another Old Dutch
Market Opens Today

The tenth Old Dutch Market to be
put In operation In this city was opened
this morning at 3l13 Fourteenth street
northwest, with everything in order for
providing customers with the best of
all good things. Since early morning
the market has been thronged with
marketers with baskets, and the large
force OF clerks have had their hands
full attending to their wants.
One OF the chief features of the new
market Is cleanliness. and the manage
ment. the Old Dutch Market, Inc. has
prepared for that feature to the last
degree. All goods that might be in
jured by dust are enclosed In glass
front porcelain-llned cases, where they
are arranged most temptlngly in full
sight. Cheeses. meats. and such things
are all behind glass In these cases. The
building in which the market IL stu
ated Is designed especially for that pur-
pose. and affords the greatest possible
space for goods. while leaving plenty
Of room for the marketers to move
about with their baskets. The big room
Is tiled. so that no dirt can be retained
for any length of time, and even the
sawdust on the floor looks celan.
The formal opening this morning was
in the nature OF a reception. when old
and new customers came to see what
the newest market was like. and to
make their Saturday purchases.
