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. ROSE DILLARD. County Home Demonstration Agt. GRAND JURY PRESENT MENTS BARROW COUN TY, MARCH TERM, 1919. To the lion. Andrew J.

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.
