Sdue What You Sbend

In addition to the familiar argu-

IN packages. the modern housewife is
confronted with the new problem of
whether or not 1t is wise TO buy foods
ready rocked for her table.
Particularly this problem presents
itself to the city h~ousekeeper, and
that she often decides in favor of the
practice is evidenced by the constant
ly increasing number of delicatessen
shops n bakeries. and the new COM
munity Kitchens now springing into
favor.
In the city many families live in
small apartments and their cooking
fuel is gas. In such cases 1t is not
economical TO cook at home the foods
which require long. slow cooking
such as baked beans. soups. breads.
and some vegetables. In many house
holds the freless cooker solves tins
problem of long-cooked foods. But
when soups. beans. breads, cakes,
fowls. and roast meats can be easily
bought hot and fresh at cooked food
shops there is a real saving of time.

Among the saddest sights to be

today Is the lonely grave, the littas

the spot where a soldier met death by

gave their all, and whatever the Boche
may be made to pay will be small In

Near what was the city of Noyon
