Memphis Appeal; DIR. Billings, of

and Memphis the money necessary
for sanitary purposes. 1t isvery kind
of the doctor to make the suggestion,
but such thing is impossible. When
our own State legislature refused to
consider the matter of RENTING to US,
for sanitary purposes, the back taxes
due the State, amounting to $500, 900
it is not likely the national legislature
will make a loan that would raise a
howl from one end of the Union TO

Home Life Il Hundred Years Ago

One hundred years ago not a pound
of coal or cubic foot of Illuminating
gas had been burned in the country.
No iron stoves were used and no cun-
trivances for economizing heat were
employed until DR.. Franklin invented
the iron framed fireplace which still
bears his name. All the cooking and
warming iii town as well as the coun-
try were done by the AZ of II fire
kindled on the brick hearth or in the
brick ovens. Pine knots or tallow
candles furnished the light for the
long winter nights, ard sanded floor
supplied the place of the rugs and car
pets. The wafer used for household
purposes was drawn from deep wells
by the creaking sweep. No form of
pump was used in this country, so far
as We could learn, until after the COM
mencemen: of the present century
There were no friction matches in
those early days, by the aid of which
fire could he easily kindled, and if
the fire went out upon the hearth over
night, and the timber was damp, so
that the spark would not catch, the
alternative remained of wading
through the snow miie or so to bor-
row brand Of a neighhor. Only one
room in any house was warm, unless
some member of the family was i'll; in
all the rest the temperature was at
zero during many nights in winter.
The man and woman ola hundred
years ago undressed and went TO their
beds in a temperature colder than that
of our modern barns an woodsheds,
and they never complained.
