Whatever measure Of truthfulness there may be in

sueea which he made in his testimony before the senate

cured between himself and members Of the peace dele

NJ. Bulutt stands as a discredited witness whose testi-

preases himself frequently IN private conversations as he

The two big bugbears Of summer
housekeeping are the cooking and

It's a real economy of time and
energy and money, too. to purchase
a wash machine and dispense with
hand rubbing or the service OF a
laundress. Underlinens. rough tow

ironing should be in high favor for
summer wear. and simple. dresses for
children or grown-ups with the sgine
desirable no-ironing quality should
be chosen.
The next step is 10 simplify the
foods and menus 50 they require he

Nine msnths later at Toulon he

self secure there, but his benevolence
made him conspicuous. and the old
caretaker, being full of envy and un-
charitableness, grew suspicious Of her

One day he saw Javert. He took
Cosette and again fed. But Javert

Here we are in the citizen

are "The Tomorrow of this
