INNETKA enthusiastically welcomed the Community Kitchen WwW that opened Wednesday at the Tea Room. A variety of well ; cooked food was on sale, and the generous patronage leaves no doubt of the demand for the service, or the success of the enter- prise. The kitchen will, for the present, be open from 10 A. M. un- til 5 P. M. daily except Sunday. Special dishes for each day will be on sale at reasonable prices, and it 1s hoped that all will take advantage of this opportunity.

The closed car is more comfortable, more adaptable, more convenient, better looking and more refined.
