Will be still further convinced of the outstanding superiority of ELECTRICITY FOR COOKING. They will real
ize that it is clean, cool and convenient as well as being far more efficient and economical.
COOK "BY WIRE"
Cooking "by wire" is no lbnger an experiment it is an accepted fact. The fact that one out of every four domestic
customers in this community is an electric range user is not only a tribute to electric cooking but also evidences
g the progressiveness of Douglas County housewives.
DON'T FAIL TO ATTEND!
We believe that every woman in Douglas County should avail herself of the opportunity to attend the Roseburg
News-Review Cooking School this week. There will be new recipes and tasty foods for you to enjoy and the
demonstrations of electric cookery will be highly interesting and instructive. We take pleasure in recommending
this post-graduate course in modern electric cooking to all our customers and friends.

"That's a leading question.. I
refuse to answer. Instead I'll ask
you whether you ever stopped to

their characters and physical pe
culiarities better than any public
servant, not even excepting a doc

he'd been having a feud for a long
time with another one of the fore
men, an Englishman named Potts,
about some gambllug debts, and
apparently the killing was the re-!
suit of that. From what Joao tells
me, Potts confesses that he com
mitted the murder. Hit him over
the head with a club. But it seems
there's something queer about It.
