Famished by La Perla These are facts verified by noted scientists and every statement made in the foregoing remarks has been accepted by the Committee on Foods of the American Medical Association.

Perez, owner of the bakery, has recently installed the most mod ern machinery available, and in its new quarters the La Perla bakery is equipped to give the best possible service along with the best quality bakery products. CISNEROS DRUG STORES SERVE Valley housewives have learned that the drug store answers perhaps the moat needs of a modem home than any other one business insti tution. Primarily, the drug store is lo cated in every city in the United States to protect the members of the family against sickness and dis ease. and to end pain and long suffering in injury. The thrifty house wife has learned through ex perience that the purchase of in ferior drugs and medicines is the costliest thrift known, that they often result in extended illness and costly hospital and doctor bills. Housewives of Brownsville have learned, however, that the two Cis neros Drug Stores in Brownsville handle only quality medicines and supplies, but are able to sell them at an almost unbelievably low price. Wives of Brownsville have learned also that the prescription department of both Cisneros Drug stores employ only well-trained, careful pharmacists, who carry out the doctors prescription to the let ter and whose every attention is lor the patient's welfare. In time of sickness, however, is not the only time that the Cisneros Drug Stores come to the assistance of Brownsville wives. The well-sup plied stores carry many conven , lences for the home in stock, and ' liave them on sale at a very low price. Rubber goods, cosmetics, raz ors. razor blades, soaps, perfume^, stationery, school supplies, kodaks nims and thousands of articles necessary to the comlorts oi the home are on display at the stores or carried in stock. In addition, both stores have one of the most complete fountain ser vices in the city. Women who are downtown on shoppmg tours imd a cool, delightful drink on warm days acts as a great heal reliever and supplies new energy to com plete the shopping duties. The lountalns offer the highest quality drinks and are proud and well de serving of the reputation they have built in the city for their sanitary conditions. BLIND TELEPHONE OPERATOR Mrs. Josephine Enevere, totally blind, operates a busy telephone switchboard in the offices of the Society of the Blind in Cleveland. She uses a Braille typewriter to take down all messages which are later transcribed on a regulation ma chine. TO CLEAN FAUCETS To clean brass faucets dip a piece of flannel in vinegar and rub well. In case they are greasy, wash them with soap suds first. For nickel fau cets merely wash and dry carefully’. More colored shoes are being shown than in any recent season. With them are worn the bright scarf, belt and hat or hat trimming of the same oolor. The colorful sashes and scarfs rel ly require Jeweled pins to keep them in place. And so the bar pm and! round brooch pin once more are to be in vogue. MRS. BEULAH M. YATES Again Selects LA PERLA BREAD For the Cooking School Again this year Mrs. Yates requested that La Perla Bread be used exclu sively in the “Happy Kitchen” School. She says. "I will never forget the com plete satisfaction derived from La Perla Bread In my last school year.''

PEREZ, Prop. 13th Street at Van Buren FOODS KEPT FRESH ALSO SAVE MONEY In a recent survey of food* In the home, it was found by govern- I ment authorities that 20% of the foods you buy are spoiled be I ore they can be eaten, and that one haif of this food spoilage is caused by improper refrigeration in the home. In other words, out of every dollar you spend for food, ten cents is wasted by your ice box. Calculate this cost for the year and you can quickly see that if you could save this money that is wasted, it would go a long way toward paying for a Grunow electric refrigerator. But that is not the whole storv of savings by means of Grunow elec tric refrigeration in your home— not by any means. When you own a Grunow you can buy food in larger quantities, thus taking ad vantage of better prices. Freth meats, vegetables and fruits are al ways cheaper when a larger quan tity is purchased. Even canned goods are from 5% to 45% cheaper when purchased in the large sized cans, as compared with their cost in the smaller sizes. Abo. when you own a Grunow. you can shop on bargain days,” buying the siiecials when prices are lowest and keeping them safely un der uniform refrigeration until needed. Often savings of as much as one-third are possible by this method of buying, alone. When you add these two meth ods of .saving money together, namely, the elimination of food spoilage, and more economical mar keting made possible by purchasing in larger quantities and on special sale days, the combined savings are enough to pay for a Grunow in a remarkably short time. Demonstrations of the economy of the Grunow and of the manner in which it makes more pleasant the operation of kitchen will be given throughout the school by Mrs. Beulah Tates, using a Grunow refrigerator from Rampo's Radio Service.

For cooking, water heating or refrigeration, Natural Gas is the dependable fuel. It performs the required heating tasks with the least attention, leaving the housewife free for other duties or pleasures. Mrs. Beulah Mackey Yates will show, in her series of lectures to Brownsville housewives, how you may make your kitchen a happy kitchen. How to get the most out of it, with the smallest amount of work. Her lec tures are interesting, entertaining, and valuable — but without an ideal fuel, you would be unable to attain the best results in following her instructions, consequently you would be unable to derive full benefit from the lectures. See that your kitchen appliances use Natural Gas for fuel, and that your range is modern and efficient — then you will be able to achieve the greatest good from the coming series of lectures.
