We are surprised that a great
number of people in Marion do
not use ice. We feel in this
they are making a mistake as an
ice bill of S1.50 or even $500 a
a month, besides proving the
most wholesome luxury would
save many dollars in medicines
and doctors bill. A nice chunk
of ice each day thrown into
your cooler will make the warm
est well or cistesn water re-
freshing and this cost will not
exceed ten cents per day. We
venture that some one of each
family that does not use ice at
home are guilty of spending
more than twice this amount at
cold drink stands, when it could
be spent at home where the
whole family would enjoy it.
There is something truly refresh
ing in a good drink of ice water
and there is no reason why the
poorest labOrer, with proper
management can not have it.
