OF Interest to WOme en-
Cranberry Sauce
For Thanksgiving

The Food Administration has added
another reason for being thankful
this Thanksgiving. We can have
plenty Of cranberry sauce. Certainly
q Thanksgiving dinner without cram
berry sauce would never seem like the
real thing. Some have been afraid
that the old sugar allowance of two
pounds per month was not enough to
prepare cranberries. Now, however,
the government has increased the
sugar allowance per person per
month, and Furthermore allows n
months supply to be bought at n
time, so everyone will have plenty Of
sugar to make such delights al cram
berry sauce, jelly, tarts. pies, etc. The
new crop of cranberries is now on the
market and selling at reasonable
prices. Those who really appreciate
this delicious fruit will not wait for
Thanksgiving but begin right away
and put cranberries on the table be-
fore their own particular feast day
arrives.

RAILROAD CONGESTION
THEREFORE A NEW
KIND OF LUGGAGE
Just another occurrence to indicate how close
ly this organization watches the ever-changing
conditions.
Because of the railroad congestion and the
elimination of much train service, and the con-
traction of that still in operation, Travellers using
Trunks are finding themselves very much delayed
receiving their baggage upon arriving at their
destination.
This calls for NEW KIND OF LUGGAGE,
and we are able to supply it.
Extra Large Suit Cases that hold almost as
much as trunk, and take care of all your ward
robe and toilet requirements. They can be car
ried to the station on the Auto or Taxi, and placed
in the car with you. Then, when you reach your
journeys end you know just where your baggage
is and have no more worry about it. The con-
venient and oblgng porter takes care of it at once
and there are no difficulties about it
These cases are made of imitation patent
leather ranging in size from 26 to 80 inches, good
and deep so as to have an ample capacity. Some
have cretonne trays and large pocket in one
side. All black and black and tan trimmings and
reinforcements; two strong straps lend stability,
and the handle, lock and catches are strong and
service giving.
