Mrs. j. A. AS inquiry about the
home freezer seemed particularly
lppropos placed as it was in the
midst of a lively discussion about

II stick my neck out and predict
hat Mrs. j. A. A. will find her
reezer about the most satisfac-
ory ally yet discovered for the
attic. The company who manu-
actures her particular brand of
reezer should have supplied her
nth a booklet of fairly complete
Instructions on how to freeze
oods and get the best use of her
reezer. There are any number
f such booklets available. I be-

'ell-knoWn sugar company. Any
Merchant who sells freezers can
be persuaded to let you
ave a veritable library Of help

Baked goods, such as pies, cakes
