Sarah T. Miller brought some excellent advice
in a clipping entitled, - “Give Tomorrow a Chance”,
from which is culled, “You continually wish you could
get a fresh start and how different results would be if
you could begin your career anew, - but you can do far

department, but the 3rd story is brightest of
all for it is the abode of the spiritual nature, the
wise man spends much time up there for it should
be the choicest part of the house.

Rebecca T. Miller with malice-prepense, (whatever that
may be), read to us of the first and last analysis of
the unspeakable abomination known as “Cheap candy”.
If her arraignment be only half facts the “Pure Food
Commission” should dump it into the sea henceforth.

Emilie T. Massie compared “New and Old Housekeeping”.
A young bride found her home badly adapted to the needs
of a household because convenience and utility were
not considered in the plan. She ultimately succeeded in
evolving a greatly improved domicile, also installing a
