The Essentials of a Home
During the great war we have
just experienced, our country lias
advanced many years. Our men
who have braved the dangers at
the battle front are coming back
with new visions an a determana
tion to make a safer and better
America —an America in which a
man may be free to do bis best un
der the best possible conditions.
America’s woman-hood too has
Mi ad visions of anew and better
We must share the bur
den of the responsibility of this
reconstruction period.
.The most effective way in which
the women of America can help to
bring about the conditions which
we are striving to attain is to
make the most of her opportuni
ties in the home where she reigns
supreme. The inscription of a col
lege founded by Andrew ('arnagie
in memory of his mother reads:
“To create and inspire a home,
To decrease suffering and in
crease happiness.
To assist struggling humanity
to rise.
To ennoble and adorn labor,
however humble.
This is the great object of wo
man.’’
To make the best opportunities
in the home a woman must be
trained to see her responsibility
and to efficiently solve the prob
lems arising there. It is very im
portant that a man be trained, to
insure success in tbe business
world, but it is not usually con
sidered of so much consequence
whether or not a woman is trained
to successfully “create and in
spire” and manage a home. This
she usually learns in the painful
*yhool of experience. The re
sponsibility of spending money
for the house-hold falls upon the
woman, therefore she should be
trained as a business manager.
Upon the home depends the health
and happiness of the nation,
therefore a woman should be train
and to make the home the most
healthful and beautiful place pos
sible. It should be a “haven of
rest” for the entire household.
In order to create such a home
it is necessary first of all, that
there be a congenial spirit in the
household —a mutual helpfulness
on the part of all.
Health is an important factor
in the happiness of a household.
The proper feeding of the family
is perhaps the biggest problem the
mother faces. t)oes she know how
to plan a balanced meal? Does
she know the art of serving that
meal attractively? Does she
know the values of foods so that
she may plan and 'buy economic
ally?
The value of the attractiveness
of a home can hardlybe over esti
mated. Home environment has
vastly more to do with moulding
character than most of us realize.
The furniture and color schemes
should be such that a spirit of
restfulness pervades there. The
problem of selecting appropriate
pictures is one of great import
ance. A child receives most of his
impressions through avenue of
sight. Often times a child’s mind
is poisened and his life blighted
by pictures that convey the wrong
impression. ('lean and whole
some reading matter is csential to
safeguard the happiness of the
home.
No home .ail be a truly healthy
and happy place unless sanitary
conditions prevail there. A good
house-keeper will keep things
scrupulously clean and neat, but
will guard against being “prim”,
thereby destroying the beautiful
spirit of the true home. She will
also remember that sanitation is
the best preventative for disease.
( I shall organize a number of
"Women's Clubs in Barrow coun
ty which will aim to help solve the
problems in the home, and make
for better conditions in the school
in the community, and in our
county. Be sure that you are a
member of one of these clubs.

ICE CREAM
Since remote antiquity, man Las found pleasure in the eating of frozen sub
stances. The Bible speaks of the people of Palestine appreciating the refrshing
qualities of snow in harvest time. The ancient Jews, Greeks and Romans were
accustomed to its use for the cooling of beverages.
Alexander the Great relished a substance much like our sherbets today,
frozen with snow brought from a mountain top by a swift running slave.
But about the first real ice cream ever made was placed before Louis XIV,
King of France, by his chef, who used cream in the ifce of his invention, and
thereby made ice cream.
In our own country ice cream became popular before the Revolution. The
manufacturer of this dainty obtained a high price in those days as the recipe
was kept a close secret. The first advertisement of icc cream in this country
appeared in a New York paper dated June 8, 1786, and reads: “Ladies and
Gentlemen may be supplied with ice cream every day at the City Tavern by
their humble servant Joseph Crowe.” The article furnished by the humble
Joseph was surely a luxury' as it cost a dollar a quart.
Ice Cream is not only one of the most delicious of sweets, enjoyed by old
and young, but it is also a very nutritious food. It has several times the food
value of candies; a quart is worth nearly as much as three pounds of beef
steak. Because it is so nutritious and so easily digested physicians recommend
it to invalids and convalescent patients; athletes in training eat it; and, if
home made so that you know it is pure and free from harmful adulterations, it
is the best of food for growing girls and boys.
I manufacture Ice Cream of all kinds, for any occasion—on just a few
hours’ notice. Mail orders given prompt attention.

T sell Fresh Fish of the best varieties, also fresh Oysters on Fridays and
Saturdays. Goods delivered anywhere inside city limits.
