The members of the Home Eco
nomics class have kindly consent
ed to be our guests this week.
They are going to write about
the different things they learn
about; namely, foods, cooking and
home-making. Some of our readers
may even want to exercise some of
these ideas.
The girls have had practical ex
perience in carrying out these
plans. We thought these papers
were especially well written. We
wish to comment Mrs. McGinnis
and her class for the splendid work
they have done in this department.
Charles Marks.
In the senior home economics
class each pupil is required to read
a book each month and write a re
port on it. These books cover all
phases of life, and each has many
facts that are beneficial to each
student. The following essay is ta
ken from one book I have read:
The Greatest Thing In the World
Henry Drummond
“God Is Love’’
This book is an inspirational in
terpretation of St. Paul’s beautiful
message on love.
Love is the fulfilling of the law.
It is the rule for fulfilling all rules.
In the beginning of the book we
have Love contrasted; in the heart
of it, we have love analyzed; to
ward the end, we have love defend
ed as the supreme gift.
The Contrast
Paul contrasts love with many
things—eloquence, prophesy, mys
teries, faith and charity. We know,
for example, love is greater than
faith because the end is greater
than the means. Faith, the means,
is in order; to love, the end. In
contrasting love with sacrifice and
martyrdom, if you give your body
to burn and there is no love it
profits nothing.
The Analysis
Love is a compound thing, Paul
tells us. It is like a light. Paul
passes love through the magnifi
cent prism of his inspired intel
lect, and it comes out on the other
side in its elements. The spectrum
of love has nine ingredients: Pa
tience, kindness, generosity, hu
mility, courtesy, unselfishness, good
temper, guilelessness, sincerity—
these make up the supreme gift,
the stature of the perfect man.
The Defense
Even prophets and language van
ish away, but love will never pass
away. The eternal God is love.
Thank God men know better, by
a hair’s breadth, the difference be
tween religion and Christianity,
what is God? who is Christ? where
is Christ? He who fed the hungry,
clothed the naked, visited the sick.
And where is Christ? Where who
soever shall receive a little child in
My name receiveth Me. And who
are Christ’s? Every one that loveth
is born of God.
Mildred Tallent.
WHAT IT MEANS TO BE
GOOD-LOOKING
We all want to be good-looking,
even if we can’t define “good” in
this sense and we know the dif
ference betweeen artificial and nat
ural beauty. One is bought at the
drug store and put on the outside;
the other is developed from within

THE GIRL IN THE COMMUNITY
“I live not in myself but I become
. a portion of that around me.” A
' community is composed of a group
of people who are drawn together
by their common Aeeds and inter
! ests.
Successful community life is de
; termined by the co-operation of
the families composing it. The com
munity contributes to the home life
! of its members in many ways. Our
. present system of public schools is
supported by taxes. Every boy and
girl must attend school until acer-
■ tain age limit is
. ■ have long realized that an unedu-
i cated and unintelligent class oi
people make an undesirable com
!; munity, and that progress withir.
- i the community is made by improv
, ing the quality of the citizens. Spe
I cial classes for adults offer help in
use of leisure. The schools of today
offer an opportunity for direct ex
;| perience in studying science, home
I making activities, nature, music
■ I and are as well as teaching boys
and girls to read, to write, and tc
use numbers.
i Recreation is a necessary activitj
, for both children and adults. The
. type and amount of leisure varies
■ in any community. The communi
ty really concerned about the wel-
i fare of its citizens will have a well
i organized recreational program
and will encourage all movements
favoring worthwhile amusements.
The community offers protection
to the life and property of its citi
zens.
, In communities which do not
i provide such protection, ah citizens
must assume the responsiblity of
protecting their own health and
■ the health of those about them.
They must see/that their drinking

dispose of sewage and garbage
properly; they must make their
own inspection of food markets
and dairies. Boys and girls should
know the services offered by the
city, state and federal officers and
should feel that they are their
friends and protectors.
Harriet Cash.
BUDGETING
The need for a budget, a plan for
spending money, is generally rec
ognized throughout the business
world and in government. The fam
ily must know how to spend its in
come to enable each member to at
tain a maximum of health, com
fort, recreation and financial pro
tection without needless efforts and
worry.
A budget always precedes the
spending of money and may be
made for a month, a half year or a
year in advance. The responsibility
for spending the income belongs to
each member of the family.
In making a budget, it is advis
able first to know exactly what you
owe and what is due you. Secondly,
estimate the total income for the
year, such as salary, and other in
come. Third, estimate what per
cent, you may spend for shelter,
food, clothing,, operating expenses,
advancement and savings.
Lila Smith.
SHARING THE FAMILY INCOME
Recognizing Real and Money In
comes.
‘Have more than thou showest,
Speak less than thou knowest,
Lend less than thou owest.”
—Shakespeare.
Money has long been a medium
of exchange among the various peo
ples of the earth. It'hastens the ex
change of goods and is a measure
'of value for all commodities and
for labor'
Managing the family finances is
a part of home-making all family
members should share, and in
cludes the control of 'income, ex
penditures and savings.
The chief source of the money
income of the majority of families
is that derived from the salary or
wages of the father and older mem
bers of the family.
The Rehl Income of the Family
All goods and services which are
contributed to the family income
by its members are called real in
come. The monetary value of these
contributions is not easily estimat
ed but they are as definitely a part
of the family income as the actual
money earned.
Geraldine Byars.
PERSONALITY
What is personality? Personality
is a living, ever-changing tapestry.
Its warp is fashioned out of our
human potentialities; its woof is
..pun from the world of people and
bhingc. We weave the pattern as we
ive from day to day. It is that sec
et force that makes you vital and
.iteresting, that hidden something
.hat makes you a power in yom
„ome, your school, and your com
i.unity.
Your personality is expressed
through the medium of your ap
pearance, your attitude toward
ach day’s problems, your culture
our voice, your speech, and youi
.riendships. It will color your whol:
existence and will do much to pro
vide a well-rounded life for you.
With this development of per
sonality will come a wider sphere
>i usefulness, an increased appro
bation of art and beauty, a genuine
nd active interest in the affairs
>f the world and a deeper and a
nore sympathetic understanding of
sumanity.
We study topics in home econom
ics which help us to bring out the
good points in our personalities.

ENTERING THE BUSINESS
WORLD
“I am the master of my fate,
I am the captain of my soul.”
—Henley.
Education in its broadest sense
may be defined as life. It is the
slowly evolving process of the devel
opments of body, mind and char
acter, continuing throughout life
and resulting in the production of
a desirable or an undesirable in
dividual.
The advantage of an education
from a dollar-and-cents standpoint
cannot be estimated. The following
facts, taken from a report made t
Dean Everett W. Lord, of Boston
university, will give some idea ol
the relation of education to in
come. The untrained man goes to
work at 14 and reaches his maxi
mum income at 40 and keeps this
income for five or ten years, after
which it falls off. The high school
graduate goes to work at 18 years,
reaches his maximum of the un
skilled man at 28 and rises till 50,
after which his income falls off
only slightly. The college graduate
goes to work at 22. His income de
pends on his mental ability, train
ing, and experience which increase
with the years.
How Does One Choose a Vocation?
Work is essential to our happiness
because it affords us a means of
expressing ourselves. The main
thing for a person to consider is,
“Am I suited for that type of work,
and will I be happy at it?” The way
to answer this question is to ana
lyze yourself.
What Points Are To Be Considered
In Getting a Job?
1. Am I qualified for the job pro
fessionally?
2. Is there a vacancy?
3. What is the correct way to ap
ply for the position?
4. What my personal appearance
has to do with getting a job.
5. What things should I do in ap
plying for a job?
How To Succeed In Your Position
Success in your position is as
sured if you do the work it in
volves as you would want it done
if you owned the business or were
paying someone to do the work. To
do this: Guard your health; be
prompt about office and lunch
hours; adapt yourself to your en
vironment; be alert and ready for
any task.
Consideration for others is the
>asic principle underlying all true
courtesy and all rules of etiquette
Jourtesy acts as a lubricant in the
?usy grind of the work day world
and is most essential to one’s suc
cess.
Frances Thomas.
MILK
“Is milk really as essential as
folks say?”
Every bit! In fact, milk is your
best food buy, regardless of the ages
as your family. Milk gives us the
calcium phosphorus and vitamin /.
we need, in addition to excellent
protein and milk sngar. And We get
these at little cost.
“How much milk does a family
need daily?
Try never to let your family milk
quota fall beneath the quart for
children and pint for adults. The
child needs more than the adult
because he is building new body
tissues all the time.
If you family won’t drink milk,
put it in sauces, ice cream and oth
er desserts.
Milk should be pasteurized be
cause it is a sure way to make milk
safe to drink. It has the same food
value as raw milk.
Milk is the most important sin
gle food in the diet.
Nothing we buy plays so large a
part in the well-being of the fami
ly as does milk.
(Taken from the posters I made
in home economics.)
Kathryn Ramey.
VITAMINS
We do not know exactly what
vitamins are, but we know some
thing of what they do. Vitamin A
is found in large amounts in green
vegetables and it keeps certain eye
tissues healthy. Lack of it causes
impaired eyesight. Vitamin B is
found in yeast and whole grain
cereals. It keeps nerves healthy>
Beriberi develops from lack of vit
amin B. Milk is a variable source
of vitamin C and keeps blood ves
sels. teeth, gums and bones healthy.
Vitamin D is found in fresh liver
ils. It is very necessary for the
building and preserving of strong
bones and teeth. Rickets develor
" children from lack of vitamin
p. Vitamin E is necessary for fer
tility in animals and man. It is
feund in muscles, meat and greer
leaves. Vitamin G helps protect
one from pellagra, and is found in
eggs. milk, lean meats, fruits and
vegetables.
Vitamins are necessary’- for
I growth, good health and long life.
CONDI<
Since ve are all social beings
trying to live harmoniously in our
respective places, it is necessary for
us to conform to certain standards
to follow certain rules of life, as
we do in other games. We all act
and react upon each other. We all
seek someone to whom we may go
fbr a friendly word of encourage
ment or cheery word of praise,
we must all have.
Consideration for others will al
ways guide you in the right way.
If you carefully consider yourself
in the position of the other person,
your actions can not be criticized.
Conduct begins in the home by
having thoughtfulness for your el
ders, respect for the personal rights
of every member of the group;
loyalty and co-operation.
To behave yourself properly you
gain friends. Appreciation, agree
ableness, cheerfulness, sensitive
ness tact and broad-mindedness
are qualities to help us to have
friends who are loyal, sincere and
loving.
F. V/. Robertson said, “Do what
you feel to be right; say what you
thing to be true; and leave with
faith and patience the consequences
to God.”

Many others, however, know how
the headaches, nervousness, cramp

due to malnutrition are helped
by the proper use of CARDUI.
Some take it a few days before
and during “the time,” to help ease
periodic distress. But CARDUI’S
principal use is to help increase
appetite; stimulate the flow of
gastric juice; so aid digestion,
assist in building up physical re
sistance and thus help reduce peri
odical distress. Women have used
CARDUI for over 50 years.

What do we mean by good citi
zenship?
We are all registered as members
of our community from the day of
our birth, and the type of citizen
ship we develop is of the greatest
importance to any group in which
we have membership, whether it
is the home, the school, the church,
some club organization, the com
munity or all of these. One broad
definition of a citizen is an inhabi
tant. an occupant. Our training and
experience in our home should help
us to be worthy members of that
group and prepare us for a broad
er citizenship in the larger group
known as the community. When you
co-operate by being appreciative
of your home privileges and win
your place as a trusted member of
the group by not trying to “put
things over,” “ to get by,” or to
break rules, but rather to practice
honesty, co-operation, courtesy, in
dustry and unselfishness in such a
way to prove sincerity and deserve
trust, you may be called a good
home citizen..
To be an acceptable member of
the larger groups of the village,
city or state, we should have a
knowledge of laws which concern
our every-day living and be inter
ested in their enforcement.
Irene Kellett.
