lecture will be one of the big
events of the Chautauqua and
one OF the most profitable to
all who attend.
A special effort should be
made by every housekeeper to
hear these lectures and see
these demonstrations by Miss

do with the conservation of
food. Every time we save q bit
of bread we allow that much
to go to the boys at the front.
Unless we do save the food,
much more than most of US do,
the boys cannot fight. But a
well-fed army, fighting for
righteous principle, cannot be
defeated. Let US all swing
right into line behind Mr..
Hoover, and save.
