/ are to be absolutely free; whatever
i expense is attached to them will be
paid for by the food commission. AMI

Il clever at cookery tnat she cannot gel
i new, helpful ideas, especially in the
4 matter Of saving food.
/ I'VE are hoping that every house
wife in Honolulu will plan to attend
at least one Of these demonstrations
