THE ANSWER TO THE SERVANT PROBLEB ELECTRIC COOKERY. The cook who has been faithfu for ten or fifteen years is failing ani beginning to drop out of servic several days a month. This is due to the hardships of th kitchen. She is a human machine just as you and I and cannot en dure the intense heat of the cookinj stove as age overtakes her. You can . prolong her efficienc; and improve her health, so neces sary to the proper performance o her manifold duties by INSTALL ING an Electric Range. Think "of it, no coal, wood o ashes to be toted, no dirt, no wasl ed heat and no delay?Turn a switc the trick is done and you are read to cook. The Electric Range Cooks Bette Than Any Other Type of Stove We Guarantee Thii. No wonder the housewife djead the kitchen when the cook fails t show up?She has to jump in an encounter the hardships and hea without preparation or training which makes it doubly hard. This is comparable with taking banker from his desk, unaccustoir ed to hardships. and transportin him to the first line trenches, a tfiin you would not consider for a minut( The hbuse wife is equally unfitte for the battle in the kitchen and i sure to succomb to these hardship! With an Electric Range the dt ties of the kitchen are no long irksome but are transformed int a real pleasure. Come in to the office and let x show yoti. Don't delay. Soon th generous inducements offered th month, will be discontinued and YOU will be the loser. Our demonstrators are at yoi oorvirp?investieate today. ABBEVILLE WATER & LIGHT PLANT, E. M.

With the coming of one or tw bright days, the discussion betwee _ i . ourselves and our son Bin, waxe warm and lively as to "when kin go barefootted?"
