So clean! The truly modern kitchen, bright and sunny — white woodwork, enameled walls, gleaming porcelain sink, spotless floor —all follow naturally when you install your Hughes Electric Range. —Clean, because the Hughes Electric will give you cooking heat without ashes, without smoke, without soot or harmful fumes. Clean kitchen utensils, clean walls and floor and even clean pure air in the room. In such a kitchen work is a real joy. There's joy in working in this scientific cleanliness: It is convenient, because you merely turn a button and begin cooking — to reduce the heat you turn the button again—to stop the heat—once more turn the button. It is cool because practically all of the heat goes directly into the cooking. It banishes entirely the discomforts of hot weather cookery. The air remains clean and cool. as wd It is efficient because this Range (Model 52 shown above) will do all of the cooking for a large family, do it as quickly as the most elaborate fuel range and do it with less fuss and bother. This Range is economical because there is never any spoiled food, and because roasts , Minion halt mcieeneand weight. gli. a ooiy of “How to aaa and tell you more Grangeville Electric Light & Power Company Coeur d'Alene, Clarkston.

The president some time ago appealed to all department heads to look into the hospital situation in view of the shortage complained of for proper care of ailing ex-service men. Heads of departments by check- ing up all facilities, he said, had dis- covered a total of about 12,000 wait- ing beds that can soon be of service, This, the president hoped, would go far toward relieving suffering among afflicted soldiers.
