others as you would wish to be done
by can be used TO greater advantage
than in the management of servants. I
am sure servants appreciate kind treat
ment. 1 never knew of a maid who
did not appreciate kindness and
thoughtfulness on the part of her en-
ployer.
The unreasonable demands made
of servants by women who know little
or nothing about housekeeping are the
chief reasons for so many girls preferr-
ing the shop or office to houseWork I
believe the women themselves are to
blame for the vast number of incom-
petent maids. A woman must under
stand all about the care and arrange
ment of a house, or L am afraid she
will be disappointed in her help, no
matter how competent they may be.
Il arrange the homework among
my four maids so that all of them will
be through with their work by noon,
and can have the afternoon for them
selves. Every other Sunday the girls
are permitted to have to themselves.

HELP FOR PUTNAM SCHOOLS.
Check for $3.50 From the General
Education Board.

Education Board.
Eatonton, Ga. May 16.-County
School Commissioner Dennis of Put
nam has received from George Foster
Peabody, treasurer of the General Ed
ucation Board of New York, check
for $3.50 in payment for work done by
teachers of the rural public schools,
in addition to that already provided for
by the County Board of Education.
The public term of this county is
seven months. which is paid for from
the county's prorata of public school
fund. In addition to this the citizens
of the rural districts raised last fall by
private contributions a sum sufficient
to supplement the seven months term
one month. The General Education
Board duplicated this amount. which
secured for the rural schools of the
county a term of nine months.
Five Of the schools have completed
the nine months and the check just
received is to pay for the extra two
months. The other schools will teach
the extra time later on. The five
schools that are to share this check
are Rockville, Harmony, Ararat Hill,
Salem and Ramoth.
The amount of money raised by the
county for this purpose is about S1,4OO.
The same amount will be given by the
General Education Board. and this the
board proposes to do for The county for
three years.

Householder News.


HOUSEHOLDER News.
Valdosta, Ga, May 16.-There is a
probability that Valdosta will soon be
among the paved cities of Georgia.
The City Council win begin the work
as soon as contracts for vitrified brick
can be made. It is proposed to pave
the streets and alleys in the business
district with vitrified brick, while in
the residence portion a cheaper sub
stance-tlOrida rock or gravel-Will be
used. 1t is estimated that the work
in the business section can be done
for about $4,000, the property owners
to put up two-thirds of the amount.
A Board of Trade Committee will
go before the county commissioners at
their next meeting and insist upon
new court house. The present struc-
ture was built thirty years ago when
the county was poor and the town
very small, and now it is about the
ugllest, most out-of-date building in
the city. The commissioners bought
plans for new structure three years
ago, but were impIored not to begin
the work at that time, as there was
so much work of the sort going on.
The Ocean Pond Fishing Club has

TRUE
ECONOMY

People who have practiced
this virtue successfully will
tell you thought and judgment
are always needed. They
will tell you that in the mat
ter of food inferior quality is
never desirable at any price.
In Difference to this principle
we have created for the Sa-
vannah housekeeper an ideal
trading-place, where she may
buy without the fear of get
ting provisions of inferior
quality.
Here, too, the satisfaction
is afforded her of noting un-
mistakable savings every day
and at the end of the month
her passbook becomes a record
of true economy and a dis
tinct evidence of the fact that
her family has been better
fed at a smaller cost than
when questionable quality of
food was given them.
The Delmonico could have
reached its present popularity
in so short a time only by
reason of distinct merit. It's
patrons are given satisfaction,
and satisfied patrons never
fail to mention the place
where satisfaction is to be
had.
If you are still hanging on
to the old way of living; if
you continue to buy without
thought of quality and little
knowledge of what prices you
pay, be kind enough to your
husbands purse to investi-
gate the Delmonico. Just ask
your Delmonico neighbor to
let you look over her pass
book: 1t will be a revelation to
you.
You will then no longer de-
lay. You will prefer pure
foods, and will take a pass
book from Savannah's Pure
Food Store,
