Improve Your Kitchen
Is life a pleasure or a drudge? The
answer to this question depends in
large measure upon the kind of kit
chen you have. Is it convenient? Is
it easy to keep clean? Is it equipped
with labor saving devices that reduce
the expenditure of time and energy?
Home-making is a business as prac
tical as that of farming or keeping a
store. The house-wife should become
as proficient in her realm as the bus
iness man is in his. Without careful
planning and organization house
work becomes a ceaseless drudge.
The editor of the Farmer’s Wife
tells of a woman on a farm who
walked twelve miles a day when do
ing only her daily routine of house
work. Had her home been conven
iently arranged, and had she had a
few of the necessary labor saving de
vices, her work would have been re
duced many times.
Recently a demonstration was car
ried out by a group of students at
Antioch College, to see how much
time and labor could be saved by hav
ing the kitchen properly arranged
and equipped. Two meals consist
ing of like dishes were prepnred, one
in a model kitchen, and the other in
an old-fashioned kitchen. It required
21 1-2 minutes and 271 steps to pre
pare the meal in the old-fashioned j
kitchen, while it only required 15 1-2 j
minutes and 21 steps in the well
arranged kitchen. At this rate the J
old-fashioned woman traveled 200,
miles a year more than was neces- ■
sary in preparing the meals for her
family.
After all, it is not the actual pre
paration of a meal that makes cook
ing so fatiguing. It is the fact that !
in preparing these meals miles upon
miles have to be walked in the
course of a week's time in getting
the proper utensils which to
work. The efficient woman arranges j
her kitchen well; saves her time,
saves her enegy, saves her patience.
It is not hard to decide between
these two, the old-fashioned or the
efficient woman of the present, which
one will greet her husband home
from a hard day’s work with a smile
and cherry welcome. A worn-out
woman in the kitchen can not be
happy, no matter how hard she may
try to conceal her troubles.
It does not always require a great
expenditure of time and money to
make the kitchen convenient. A wise
use of the spare time of the man on
the farm may accomplish this. It
may consist only in arranging furni
ture so as to save steps, in adjusting
working surfaces to suit the height
of the worker and in arranging cook
ing utensils conveniently. There are
also many kinds of labor saving de
vices that may be made at home.
Because of the great need for bet
ter kitchens, the State College of
Agriculture is conducting kitchen
contests in the various counties where
there are Home Demonstration
Agents. Later there will be a State
wide Contest. If your kitchen is not
what it should be, join the contest.
Rules for the contest will be furnish
ed by your County Home Demonstra
tion Agent.

Prosperity Must Abound In
Bryan County
The National Bank of Pembroke,
Byan county, has declared a dividend
of 100 per cent.
The dividend is payable in Lib
erty bonds and these have already
been sent to the stockholdes. This
dividend is the largest ever paid by
the bank and is probably the largest
paid in Georgia this year by any
banking institution.
The bank is sixteen years old and
has been paying dividends of from
8 to 10 per cent in the past. The past
year, however, the surplus grew so
rapidly it was decided to give each
stockholder a SIOO Liberty bond for
every SIOO invested in stock. The
capital stock of the bank is $'26.0
and after paying this $25,000 divi
dend there is a surplus of about $15,-
000.
Bryan county came into pomi
nence during the World War when it
•won a silver loving cup by selling
the greatest amount of Liberty bonds
per capita than any other in the
State. The community seems to be
keeping up its record of prosperity
in peace times as well as it did in
war.
We thought Jackson county was
entitled to the banner, when one of
her cotton mills declared a 100 per
cent dividend, but she has a competi
tor in Bryan.

Six Miles of Corpses
More than 11,000 per-ons were
killed by automobiles in the United
States in 1922.
Count them. Stand them in an
imaginary line, allowing three feet
of space for each person. They
stretch out for six miles.
Then imagine a super-automobile
bearing down on one end of the
line at full speed, its exhaust roar
ing and a cloud of dust rising be
hind it. Visualize it striking the first
person in the line, then the second,
the third, the fourth,/the fifth —and
on, and on. A hundred. A thousand!
Two thousand, three, four, five, six,
seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven —and
a few hundred more.
Look back down the line. Six
miles of corpses—men, women and
children, old and young, rich and
poor, white and black, good, bad
and indifferent! Mothers with in
fants in their arms; toddling chil
dren too small to know the meaning
of danger; grand fathers and grand
mothers too feeble to take care of
themselves in public thoroughfares,
,and gay young people, on whom the
responsibilities of life had never res
ted heavily.
And think of those other thous
ands mourning their dead—of wom
en and children robbed of their
breadwinners; of little ones deprived
of the care of fathers or mothers;
of parents whose eyes grow dim as
they recall the patter of beloved lit
tle feet forever still; of blasted
hopes and disrupted families; of re
mosreful men and women gross care
lessness or the speed mania has
made killers!
Eleven thousand dead! Six miles
of mangled corpses.
In God’s name, isn’t it time to
slow down a little, and look where
the cars are going?—Albany Herald.
LIFE’S LESSONS
I learn, as the years roll onward
And I leave the past behind,
That much I had' counted sorrow
But proves that God is kind;
That many a flower that Pd longed
for
•
Had hidden a thorn of pain,
And many a rugged by-path
Led to fields of ripened grain.
The clouds that cover the sunshine,
They cannot banish the sun,
And the earth shines out the brighter
When the weary rain is done.
We must stand in the deepest shadow
To see the clearest light;
And often through wrong’s own
darkness
Comes the living strength of light.
The sweetest rest is at even,
After a wearisome day,
When the heavy burdens of labor
Have been borne from our hearts
away;
And those who have never known
sorrow
Cannot know the infinite peace
That falls on the troubled spirit
When it sees at last release.
We must live through the dreary
winter
If we would value the spring;
And the woods must be cold and si
lent
Before the robins sing.
The flowers must be buried in dark
ness
Before they can bud and bloom,
And the sweetest, warmest sunshine
Comes after the storm and the
gloom.

WHAT IF YOUR SCHOOL HOUSE
SHOULD CATCH FIRE?
If your community is building a
new school house, or if your children
go to school in an old house, take the
trouble to look for a bit into the
safety of it. Consider especially the
chance that would be given the chil
dren to get out in safety if the buil
ding should catch on fire.
It has been just * little while
since the whole country was shocked
by the horrible loss of life in the
burning of a South Carolina school
house. It is evident that the build
ers of that house had not given the
proper thought to means of escape
in case of fire. The builders of
thousands and thousands of other
school houses have been equally care
less. School houses catch fire every
year; scarcely a year passes without
some loss of life of school children
on account of fire. Our children are
our most precious possessions. They
deserve a little better protection in
this respect.—Southern Cultivator.

\ From time immemorial, leavening
gas has made the “touch” which
made the paste of flour and water
a digestible food—the staff of life.
A flat and soggy loaf or biscuit is an
unleavened food. So it is that leaven
ing agents such as £east or baking
powder are employed.
To insure to the American housewife
complete leavening of her biscuits,
cakes, muffins, etc., which is so impor
tant to perfect digestion, the pure food
authorities found it wise to require a cer
tain standard of leavening strength in
baking powder.
To maintain this guaranty of digestibility—
to insure minimum deterioration of leaven
ing strength, baking powder is packed in tin.
This prevents absorption of atmospheric mois
ture. Dampness produces premature reaction
in the can—results in loss of leavening gas.
The food official, would properly condemn bak
ing powder if packed in cheap sacks.
But what about self rising flour? It comes to the
southern housewife from remote northern mills
packed in porous bags. What happens to this
mixture of baking materials and flour?
Chemical analysis shows that much of it has lost
its leavening strength before it reaches the consumer.
Breadstuffs made with such self-rising flours cannot
rise properly—they come to the table heavy, flat, and
soggy.
Why don’ffthe pure food officials demand that self-rising
flours contain 0.5% leavening gas, the equivalent to the
12% required of baking powder?
Calumet Baking Powder is scientifically and legally cor
