They have a kind OF paper clothing
that is both warm IN winter and cool

The restaurant habit. for persons

to- do with the high cost OF living,
said Frank Walters. i have for some
time compared prices when eating a.

preparing the meal. I paid SO cents
for z small piece OF steak az a res
taurant recently, and the next day
bought enough meat AZ a local mar
ket for three people for 90 cents,
which resulted in a saving Of 80
cents, as / fed three for 80 cents,
whereas the same amount Of meat in
that restaurant would have cost ne,
for the three, $50. It IS the same
in other provisions Eating az home
