Have a Pleasant Kitchen.

The kitchen in most farm houses
is generally a very unattractive place,
and vet ii should not be. This room
is the one place in the house that
should be the lightest, brightest, and
most attractive, as it is here that
the housewife spends the greatest
part OF her busy hours.
In too many cases, the kitchen Is
not well lighted. and the eolors chosen
for paper and paint are anything but
bright and cheerful The effect can,
not be anything but depressing TO
one who spends much time in a room
of this sort day after day; nor are the
surroundings conducive to cheerful
ness TO the other members of the
family SO often we hear girls and
their mothers express themselves
about kitchen work as though it were
the most despieable drudgery- Beau.
tiful surroundings will naturally beau
tify the task.

CHAMBER OF
COMMERCE
Plans for Collecting Garbage Being
Considered
Expert Looks Over Situation and Offers
Suggestions

The proper collection and disposal of
garbage, a question that has been
much agitated recently, may soon be
arranged if plans OF the Chamber Of
Commerce are successfully completed
Stanton b. Wieks OF Doane Hill farm,
Pomfret, herring that committee Of
the civic body was looking for some
one who would be interested, has made
informal proposals to teolleet all the
garbage without charge, expecting 10

John g. Johnson, the Chambers com
mittee, are investigating and public
meeting viii soon be called to hear all
sides Of the question. 1t is planned
then TO petition the common council
for suitable ordinances md ask them
to give anyone who is interested an OPP
peftuuity 10 bid for the exclusive
right Of collection, under obligation to
give satisfactory service.
George H. Foss, supervisor of the
sanitary service under the big hway di-
vision of the Public Works Department
of the city OF Boston, made a special
trip here on Monday as the guest of
Mr.. Wicks and went over the ground
thoroughly with him and with the
committee and officers of'the Chambe
His advice was most valuable, supple
menting what Mr.. Wicks had learned
in his researches, ana the opinions the
committee had formed as the result of
correspondence with other cities.
An opportunity will be given to all
corners to make proposals for doing
this work. Preference would be given
it is supposed, to bidders who would
offer TO cover the whole city. If more
than one was willing to do this, the
mt xt preference would be for the con-
tractor who agreed to most frequent
collections, or better service in some
other particular.
Soap or broken glass thrown thought.
lessly into the garbage pail may cause
de ath, and ashes and other non-edible
materials cause expense from which
the contractor would receive no return.
But this matter may be controlled by
ordinance.
A meeting open to the public will be
announced soon. So much interest
has been informally expressed by
women that strong attempt to enlist
their help and consult their opinion
will be made in this matter. There is
no single thing needed To improve the
already fine living conditions of this
city more important than the proper
solution OF the problem OF garbage and
manure.

Love the Grand Remedy.

Love is the grand remedy for all the
ills of the mind Ii is the great sol
vent for anger, hatred. jealousy and
all the bitter animosi.ies. If proper.
ly understood and applied it would
cure every sinsick soul in existence.
If you have been trying TO put out
the fires of hatred by adding more
hatred; if you have been meeting an
ger with more anger. change your
prescription Take Loves balm for
all that hlights happiness or breeds
discomfort. You will find il SOW

KEEP OUT OF FAMILY ROWS
Outsider Never Can Understand the
Feelings That Have Aetuated the
Participants Therein.

Only hardy persons dare to mix
themselves up in quarrels with view
to edecting reconcillations. Some
times they are actuated By a noble de.
sire for peace. mitigated, no doubt, by
a wish to be in the thick of any inter
ostng situation.
Sometimes also they do good
when the quarrel is not a family af-
fair. From such a quarrel friends, ac-
auaintanCes and even n-law' rela-
tiges had better stand aside. not so
much lest the fate ot the rash person
who iuterEazas bctall them, but lest
they make the breach worse.

H. B. Walker.-The fundamental
function of land reclamation is home
building. There is a natural desire
within every man for home, self-pos
sessed and capable of rendering the
necessary comforts to his immediate
family. The individual ideals upon
the relative environments and the fin
ancial condition of the occupants. A
common ideal for all homes is not
necessity, but it is very essential that
the home should afford a satisfactory
abode to it's occupants, if the best
type of national citizenship is to be
fostered. The home instinct is the
basis of our development. First,
those areas with the greatest natural
advantages have been occupied, but
competition in home requirement has
SO advanced the values of these more
favored areas that now many of our
best citizens are forced to build homes
in localities with fewer natural ad-
yantages.

Safety First.

The words safety first" on auto
mobiles that are rented, is getting to
be common sight. It's appearance
is most welcome in that it indicates
the truth is being grasped that reck-
less driving no more makes for real
joy than it does for safety. That fact
would be more rapidly admitted if the
insane professional speed contests
were stopped. Those contests may
satisfy the morbid craving for thrills
that many people possess, but they
serve no good purpose and they are
10y riding" and probably for most
of the accidents.
AS a matter of fact, the great ma
jority of the people who go riding in
autos do so for the real pleasure that
comes from seeing the scenery and
from sociability, and not for the pur-
pose of seeing how fast some reck-
less driver can run his car.
But not alone in auto driving, but
in other things also safety first
SuOulu De the ulOLLO- IL tHe Captain
of the Titanic had acted on that prin-
ciple instead of steaming recklessly
through the iceberg zone no tragedy
would have happened. If the owners
of the Eastland had kept safety in
view and not big profits that boat
would not have capsized and no lives
would have been lost. If owners OF
mills and factories would make the
safety of their hands the chief con
cern their profits might be little
smaller, but there would be fewer
manned bodies and sorrowing homes
1t is gratifying to learn that, thanks
partly to legislative action and partly
to the initiative of many employers
the lives of workers are now better
guarded than was formerly the case
The lesson is being learned that hu
man life is far more important thar
speed or big dividends.
