They Used To Say, "From Sun To Sun
Woman's Work Is Never Done"
Back in the days when a broom was ail the “ap-

to keep a home c lean. Modern housekeepers do
their housework with a sting, whisking up
crumbs with an electric sweeper, keeping milk
and other nutritious foods pure and fresh with re-
frigeration. Let’s keep our living standards this
way by denying ourselves a little here and there
and win this war!

With Soldiers
Helping In War
“To share favorite books with
service men i doing something
to help win the war. One way
lo be sure to aid soldiers on any
front is to give generously of
hooks in the 11)13 Victors Book
campaign now under way.”
Mrs. C Is Griggs, chairman,
urges hook giving and cites an
example of helping some soldier.
■'You’ll probably never know
his name, nor be told that he

panding army there are many
who will say a ‘thank you,’ any
how.”
Books are a tonic to the men
who week after week brave the
jungles, sea. air and desert that
their loved ones at homo may
be saved from enemy attack.

nicipal library and will be for-
warded to points where needed
