Strange as 1t may seem there are still
many who believe that DR.. Friedman

side and the other side Of the ocean have
been kind enough to say that DR.. Fried

really thought that he had found some
thing. Three doctors in New York with

they drew about them a following Of less

Domestic science has taken a very

young woman who wants a refined.

Is nothing more desirable than to teach
IT, Not only does she earn a comfortable
livelihood but she is also preparing her
self in the very best way for housekeep-
ing. There are at the present time
10000 children in Chicago learning home

II you teach the housewife how to save

OF course we are teaching those women
how to save much more than 10 per cent

everywhere are showing how eager they
