A new line of metal cabinets for j

Nationally demonstrated by a leading;
_anuf.utu--er ths week, shows what j
great changes are taking place in 1
... * keeping the household f
food supply.
It has always been a problem with
usewives?the keeping of perishis

an rf woman have memories of ar. old

was inefficient as it was r. other __
methods, where f i was suspended
.n buckets in the well or carried down
.to the cool cellar, and the labor
-d extra step- that went with all
these methods added considerably to

The development and the improve- i

Quick Work
Saves Church
From Fire
i 1 he quick work of Homer Hicks I
and others saved the Baptist church
building from being consumed by
flames last Sunday morning. A fire i
had been started in the stove and a
spark from the flue lodged on the i
roof and set fire to the dry wooden |
shingles. The fire was discovered j
about the time it started, and it was ]
only quick work of those present !
that saved the buiiding. It caught
just before Sunday School started. ;
