PIONEER

Mrs. Sarah Dittmer one OF the real
pioneers of Lake county. died last week
at her home in Savannah Georgia at
the age of eighty seven years Her
death was due to the old age, and came
to relieve her after only "a Wees I'LL

Her last visit to Lake county was
made two years ago when she came to
Hammond she was wont to do for
many years, to spend the summer with
her grandson Attorney LeGrand T.
Meyer. Her son w. III. Dittmer, at the
time of her death was on his way to
Colorado Springs for his health in COM
pany with Col. Meyer.
Mrs. Dfttmer was OF southern stock

Dear me, II just makes me feel
wicked to be going off into the coun-
try to enjoy myself, while SO many
people have to stay all summer cooped
up in miserable little flats and tene-
ments in the hot city"
A very generous thought, that, isn't
1T,
So sweet of the lady to remember her
less fortunate brothers and sisters
right In the midst of her own hap
pinass.
That's what thought-at first. Then
/ wondered.
For the lady was going away for two
months. During that time her home in
the suburbs will be closed up-of no
use to any one. To many of the people
whose misfortune In having to stay in
the hot city through the summer
months touched the lady's heart so
deeply, that home would have been
almost a paradise. For it is a large
comfortable house, with spacious high
studded rooms and a big garden filed
with flowers and shade and fruit trees.
and a delightful wide veranda.
Think what is would mean to some
family cooped up in a little fat with
no piazza and not even foot of ground
to plant a single flower in--beg your
pardon. I'm exaggerating; forgot
these two flower boxes that are bios
soming as the rose with mothers

money--think what it would mean to
such people to spend the two hottest
summer months in that beautiful sub

HOUSEHOLD DELIGHTS

1t Is just as well to get a new gar
bage kettle or pail in the summer
one with strong, tight lid that fits
well. A new pail may be an added ex-
pense, but a new one Is so safe and
sanitary that the added cost is jlsti-
fed.
Another help In summer is the as
bestos iron-and what a help this Is on
warm ironing days The asbestos re-
tains the heat-doesn't let 1t get out
side to heat up the kitchen or laundry
as well as the iron itself.
Fireless cookers are another help for
the housewife. The mother of a large
family, with goodiy appetites, who has
had to stand over a heated stove in
summer will especially appreciate the
blessings of the fireless cooker. There
are many kinds upon the market, and
though they are not inexpensive at the
start. they more than repay the origi-
nal outlay in comfort and convenience
to the housewife.
