A Time S0Uer

Pressing dainty frocks and spe sal
undcrthings-too perishable to trust
outside-is a real pleasure now that
we've acquired our splendid new
ironing board. It's the most con-
yenient thing. Susie, fitted into the
wall Of the kitchen in its neat COM
partment, ready, at a moments no.
tice, to fold out and be used. A
specially constructed hinge permits
folding up with the pad on, thus
saving time and inconvenience. And,
Just think, this modern convenience
can be installed quickly, easily, in
any home-doesn't require any spe-
cial space-beneath a window or un-
der the counter shelf Of the sink will
do-for when not in use, it takes no
floor space at all. These splendid
built-in fixtures-in fact. every type
Of built-in-kitchen cabinets, china
closets, dressing alcoves, bathroom
seats-every fixture to add convent
ence to a home-are carried on hand
Mt all times by Stoves Sash and Door
Company, and are obtainable through
any local lumber dealer.

Crispy BrOWn

Just the right complement to our
midnight feast-in fact, a very i'm
portant feature OF it-wos crispy
brown toast. Really it tasted mighty
good TO me-and the others thought
it delicious.
'Do tell me the secret OF such
splendid toast" begged Katherine, a.
she helped herself to second slice,
"the flavor is wonderful-and be-
sides that, it looks so pretty"
And, Of course, / was delighted to
tell them that ] used Bohn:t's But
ter-Nut Bread-the delicious flavor
and excellent slicing qualities OF
which make it equally desirable for
toast, sandwiches or serving plain.
Now, I've promised Katherine III
save "a Of the Bohnet's Bread wrap
pers for her, which she can ex-
change at the Pitluk Advertising
Company for an attractive floral de-
signed rubberized apron.

Luncheon Idea

Sundays roast was deliclous-we
all enjoyed it-but on Monday at
noon Grace served tho rest of it in
even more delicious manner-com-
bined with macaroni. She cut the
meat into small pieces, fried it with
little onion and then added boiled
macaroni, let it all simmer few
minutes. Then she put the mixture
into a baking dish, poured over it
tomato ketchup and buttered bread
crumbs and baked for few min
utes-really it was n most delectablc
cntree, and made, Grace said. at so
little trouble and expense. All the
family and guests commented upon
the goodness OF this dish. Grace ex.
planned that the unusually delicious
flavor was due 10 the quality OF
r"acaroni - Fould's Lion Brand-
which she always uses This is an
idea for your Monday luncheon or
dinner.
