The housewife who recently installed on electric range tells
ut that she is real mad at herself for having denied her
home the privileges of electric cookery through the mis
taken idea that she could not afford it. She further states,
"I find its operating cost to be so low that it is even cheaper
than my old methods of cooking. Ino longer have waste
through improperly cooked foods ... My meats do not
shrink . . . My vegetables have a better flavor and I can
prepare so many more delicious foods. I really have dis
covered how to save money at home with my electric
range."

Follow the advice of this modern housewife and let us tell
you how easy it is to own on electric range. How inex
pensive it is to operate and, you too, can begin earning
money at home as well as saving yourself hours of kitchen

The political significance of the
; crowning of B2ng George VI Is
not denied, both as concerns Brtt
-1 ain and the empire. The corona
tion is to fee the most step
so far in the campaign to
strengthen the "link" of empire
1 provided by the royal family and
to popularize the new king and
queen throughout the empire.
Par different, by example, were
1 the admitted motives of King
, George IV, who made his corona
| tion a grand show to attract at
! tention away from his marital
difficulties. The furore caused
■ by his Queen Caroline, who, es
tranged and living on the conti
nent, returned to Britain and tried
to "gate-crash" the coronation,
! only to be refused admittance to
the Abbey, still rings loud in the
British history.
Parts of London already have a
changed appearance in prepara
tion for the coronation.
: Statutes, tree? and even build
! ings are being blocked out by
■ tiers of grandstand seats along the
! route to be followed by the coro
nation procession.
Parliament square is now hard
ly to be recognized. The grass
I plot in the center of the square is
! hidden behind a trellis of scaf
folding for what is to be a covered
■ stand.
Old palace yard likewise is be
t ing covered with stands while the
entire front of Westminster hos
[ pital, opposite the Abbey, is being

been boarded over and will be dec- ]
orated with crimson and told
draperies; the only exception be
ing the tomb of the unknown war
rior. To permit this tomb to
stand revealed a hole will be cut
in the blue carpet, 173 feet long
and 17 feet wide, and made in one
piece without any seam, which
will cover the processional way
within the Abbey.
So crowded will be the Abbey,
where the favored thousands will
watch the actual placing of the
crown on the king's head, that
some of those attending will have
to enter the Abbey through the
windows. A plate glass window
has been removed from behind
poets' corner and a staircase is
being constructed to the window
from the street outside.
The
FAMILY DOCTOR
(By John Joseph Gaines, M. D.)
THE DOCTOR'S PROBLEM
Nobody knows more the effects
of a national depression than the
family doctor. He gets the full
force of it. His customers fall
down In their ability to meet his
moderate charges; his own table
and wardrobe dwindle. Even his
savings depart, as mine have. But
he does not complain of misfor
tune to himself—he sees future
effects of famine on those he ser
ves—and gives hi 3 life. The 111-
totooixow—~ of next yew and thft
pression" have not yet eomn~nc-
The very well-to-do will not
suffer But there are so many of
the thousands who are not *n that
aoce; and these for thtf most part,
fail under the eare of the family
doctor.
I, myself, see children all about
me, that will neve- attain
the stats of vigorous manhood
and womanhood—because of this
awful depression—if you are con
tent to dismiss it with a benign
name
What to do? Well here is an
instance where Z must answer,
"I don't know " Relief from this
thing cannot come in a day—nor
in a year—nor two yeans, in all
probability. The fangs of the thing
have pentrated our very nation's
heart. It is the great mass of
"common ueople" that constitutes
our America. Without them our
land would perish from the very
weight of its gold! There is no
more helpless body than that of
what is termed the "Idle rich."
We must educate. It seems to me,
