Protect your purse and your family's health with an Electric Refrigerator. Enjoy the great convenience it brings. Keep all foods fresh and wholesome in steady, correct refrigeration temperature.

Nothing need be thrown out. It's wise to be thrifty . . , with an Electric Refrigerator. ghan urged the board, as far as possible, to select subjects which were giving the greatest value to the greatest number. Possibly, such subjects as manual training and domestic science might prove more valuable in after life than such sub jects as Latin, algebra and geomc try. Miss McLenaghan referred in her letter to the most efficient manner in which the domestic science department was being conducted in the local schools.
