THE CLOSET AND THE KITCHEN
Here I tell you of the greatest prize offer which has ever
been announced for the readers of this paper. '
I have often tnade some good prize offers and have
known times when many of my correspondents have won
pianos, kitchen cabinets, buggies, ponies, and even
$1,000 cash free on prizes.
I take pride in calling your attention to a prize offer
which eclipses all others. It is a prize offer in which every*
body gets a prize. You can't help but get a prize if you
simple enter in good faith. That is the wonderful thing
about this offer.
Just look at the picture, the 40 gold* monogram dishes
and see if you can imagine how your breakfast table and
dinner table will look with this beautiful set and Handset
of tumblers too. Then picture your parlor with the beau
tiful novel photo pillow top, which ts given just for an
honest eflprt anyway, as explained below.
Read bow to secure all fifty of these magnificent prizes
and remember I am not asking you to send me a single
cent but only to enter your name for these prizes by send
ing me the free coupon below, which guarantees you two
premiums anyway.—IK. G. Doris.

The fact Is. the first woman took a de

took an understanding mind.
She saw in clear vision that kitchen
work and all of Its kind is a work of
true service: It contributes Its indispensa

ties of life. All such work does.
When a man preaches on Sunday we
call him a minister. So llkswise let us
call them ministers who contribute kitch

week.
