HOLDERS

Recently | found on my desk a
small cushion of red cretonne with
blue flowers over it and one of our
boys informed me he had no idea
what it was for but lady had come
in and asked him to buy it while |
was telephoning and ne supposed
would know what it was for. 1t
was a holder" to take up smooth
ing irons or handles of frying pans
and etc. while cooking and is a very
useful and sensible little aid to
cooks and house-keepers. Most d.
mestics, when lifting things With
not handles, seize a dish-cloth from
the line near the range, crumple it
up around the handle and some
times get burned in so doing. Others
use their aprons to protect their
hands from a hot hadle.
We knew of young girl who
was burned to death because she
took a corner of her apron to re
move coffee pot from the hearth
Of an open wood fire. The apron
caught fire and before it could be
put out the girl received fatal
burns.
a five year old boy was recently
burned to death trying to kindle a
fire with kerosene in CRATE
Women and girls are constantly
losing their lives from burns in vari-
Gus ways. Remember to fear firs
in all form and take no risks.
Any one can make a lot of these
nice little holders out of scraps and
some real pretty and dainty ones
will be acceptable in all homes
where housekeeping is done as it
should be.

A "PAY BACK" DAY.

The AcWorth Post recently sug-
gested having a day set apart in
which to send home all kinds OF
borrowed things and afterwards re-
ported it great success. Several
who benefited in consequence OF
the days activities wrote to the Post
TO request a repetition of the per
Torrance. One young man had ten
books, loaned to six different peo-
pc, returned and one utensil came
home after an absence of four years.
Eggs, MAGAZINES and books led the
list of things borrowed.
1t has been said by some disagree
able cynic the light of the sun
would be shut out if AL the borrow
ed books in the world could be en-
dowed suddenly with wings by ma
gle and sent flying to their owners.
The difficulty, however, might be
that so many books, flying in OPP
posite directions, would bump into
one another and far to the ground.
A volume of entertaining as well
as narrowing recitals on the subject
of loaned and lost books could be
written. 1t must be genuine 100
per cent philanthropist, who be-
lieves in the matter of books tbs
better to have loaned and lost than
never to have loaned at all.
The success of pay-back day in
our neighboring towns proves that
most hearts are in the right place
and people who Intentionally de-
fraud others are few and far be-
tween.

Loving Your Husband,

Some day you'll love a man. You

the world says about it! They pre-
pare you to love the man. They cease
to need you so much; but he needs
you more and more. And after the
children have deepened you, the thing
will come over you. The mother who
thought she had spent herself, rises,
Anna She is resurrected. Then she
turns and mothers man. She moth

RED CROSS SEAL SALE.

The local Red Cross Seal sale
which is in charge Of the Civic
League this year has an encourag-
ing start. 24,60O seals have been
sent out to the business houses and
individuals, and the receipts so far
are $2S.25.
Many seals have been returned
10 the LEGAL chairman, Miss Mabel
Cortelyou because the Atlanta ad
men sent a number up here before
the Marietta sale was started. The
Atlanta Red Cross Seal headquar-
tiers have announced that these sales
made in Marietta by the ad men will
be credited to the Marietta sale,
but the local chairman asks all
who have received the seals from
the Atlanta AID Men and have not
yet sent the money for them to re-
turn the seals and buy the ones on
sale ia Marietta, as that will help
in placing the 24,6OO which the To-
