miiiiii nmmiscuouslv in every room,
anaintr a nanic among the school
v.ilnr?n. More than half a dozen
children were burned, causing blisters,
and the clothing on several were burned
more or less, and a number had to be
carried home. The physicians were
busv for a while, but, strange to say, no

in r.harlift Peterson's little girl, who is
still in bed, suffering from several
well-defined burns, and severe nervous
prostration. The same phenomenon
Kiu noticed in several dwelling houses,
and several cases of electrical burnings

Moments of Leisure
Maklnpr bread ia hard work so
hard, in fact, that all bakers em
ploy men to do it. Yet there aro
hundreds of women who perform
all this labor themselves. They
forego many pleasures and never
have "a moment to sit down."
They have an idoa that to bake
their own bread means economy,
but there never was a bigaer
mistake.
Housewives who buy bread of me
not only save a little on each loaf,
but they have moments of leisure
like the lady in tne aoove picture
