) HOW A GIRL sHoUL ACT
WHEN SHE is A GUEST
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

In an article on THE Girl as q
Guest in the July WNman's Home
Companion. Anne Bryan Mccall says
in part:
How ia one to be the successful
guest? A hundred ways suggest them
selves. u hundred ways of paying for
the privilege of staying in the homes
of others: little household tasks that
may be done; little household rules
and interests to be respectfully fol-
lowed; little thoughtful courtesies to
be pructised; little pleasures of one
sort or another to bestow on everyone,
but very especially on the aged and
the young; hundred little conslderate,
unselfish acts; u curbing of too violent
opinions; a setting aside of too strong
prcjudices.
''.All these are practical means. and
they Will materially help the girl who
is guest In the house of another but
back of all these lies something more
fundamental. You may call it respect,
or obligation. or reverence or duty, or
love: but whatever you name it, its
function is to make this home that
you live in whether 1t be your own
home or the home of another, a place
of obligation. a place to which, for
benefits received. sou are under obli-
cation to give in payment something
OF finer metal than gold or silver. The
old phrase. I am much Obliged is q
good one. So indeed, we should all be
much obliged to give in return for
what we receive.
When all Is said and done. when
all the guests have come and gone and
the fire burns low on the hearth, find
myself still thinking of the minstrel of
old as the ideal guest-the minstrel
who, poor though he was, and hungry,
brought with him the giftof song, and
stories that stirred the heart; who. In
return for the privilege OF warming
himself at blazing, hearth, warmed
the hearts OF his hearers, added GLOW to
life and kindled purpose In those whose
motives may have burned low.
Not gold and silver, but the real
things of life: the sharing of ideals.
the touch of life with life. the stirring
of the heart: beauty and lofty things.
given simply and 41umbly: and to be
better than our common selves, lifted
out OF the commonplace by the oppor-
tunity, as the minstrel became for the
time being, and in the light OF his
hosts fire, the instrument of song a
rest to those who were weary. an en-
tertainer of those who had lost some
of the zest OF life, and an inspiration
to the young.
ITO be at ones best. there 1t is That
is the obligation. no doubt; to exact Of
oneself the best that one can be and
the best that one can give"

DANGERS THAT LIE IN
; TOO CHEAP ICE CREAM


Mary Heaton Worse, writing an article
IN the July Womans Home Companion,
tells about the cheap sweets that a child
may buy for one cent and run the risk
of buying sickness at the same time. The
article is entitled THE Fatal Jenny" and
one of the most important passages has
to do with what Mrs. Worse calls Tho
deadly hoky poky" about which she goes
on to say:
This is not to be misconstrued into an
attack on Ice cream, manufactured in or
outside the home unsuitable for grow
Ing children. The ice cream manufacture
ers of reputable standing are doing all
they can to maintain proper Standards to
make their product out of the purest ma
tertals and under the most sanitary con-
ditions. 1t Is the irresponsible dealer who
makes his frozen stuff from recipes out OF
book containing only IL pages. but cost
ing $l2, who is the one to be watched
The reason this little book costs so much
is because il tells how TO make Ice cream
for 10 cents gallon. Gelatin of the
cheapest kind and dextrine -four are in
gradients. Perhaps you do not know what
dextrine -four is: you may buy 1t from
any glucose refinery. Dextrine 1t is mot
in the -four form that is used for thick
ening calico printers colors, for making
adhesive paper and labels, for postage
stamps and other purposes. In ice cream
dextrine flour gives the milk sweetness,
and helps to give consistency and tho
illusion that cream has been used in the
mixture. While this formula may not
coincide with your idea Of what ice cream
ougt to be. 1t Is not absolutely leth un-
less the milk used is in very bad condi-
ton.
Through the summer months theee
are repeated reports Of ptomaine poison
Ing from ice cream Improperly made and
stored in improper places And the water
ices-these may cost less than 10 cents .
gallon. for they are merely frozen water
and chemical flavorings
THE government reports show that In
the wake OF Improperly made ice cream
have followed acute toxemas which Is
really poisoning, running all the gamut
between light disturbances and actual
death. Often ice creams have been sold
that have been melted and refrozen, and
in thees creams terribly high bacteria
count has been found by those scientific
people who occupy themselves with such
matters"
