 practical hints. Send for these Booklets.

THE SODDY 



By SARAH COMSTOCK 



The Soddy is the house built of Kansas prairie 

 sod where Terry lived. It was in the pioneer- 

 ing days but Terry worked out the problems 

 that many women in the most civilized com- 

 munities are struggling with now. We predict 

 that this book will have a steadily increasing 

 sale this year and for the years to come. We 

 believe in it.
