Ebert Bede Says

When a man runs for office to
down those who have been lying
about him, he is courting defeat.
Anyway, when woman brags
of making a fool of man, it is
acknowledgment that he WASH It
one to start with.
How exasperating folks are
who, instead of being convinced
by our argument, try to talk us
into their way of thinking.
Gradually it is becoming ac-
cepted that education is for the
purpose of teaching young men
and women something useful for
later life.
Sometimes we imagine that
folks get peeved at the newspaper
notoriety given their actions
just to keep folks from suspicion
ing that they courted the notorio-
|ty.
Any old girl is pretty when all
dolled up-the test of her sweet
ness and beauty is how she looks
in a gingham dress about the
hOuse-and don't forget that
that's one way you have got to
take her most of the time after
the wedding.
After woman has made a sue.
cess of grand opera she is likely
to be referred to as beautiful, but
she has then passed the stage
when such comments would have
been of value to her. A womaR
whose fame for a beautiful voice
is established, doesn t care what
folks say about her face.

FIRE IN THE KITCHEN
Simple Method of Suppressing it
and Saving Life

Every woman, every person IN
Florida should carefully read
and always keep in mind the fol
lowing information given by the
Ocala Star. If remembered and
used, it will save life and proper
ty In every kitchen there should
be kept a fve-gallon jar contain
ing a solution of bi-carbonate OF
soda:
If the State Board Of Educa-
ton in Florida would require the
teaching to every child attending
the public schools of this state,
the simple fact that plain soda is
one of the best fire extinguishing
agents known, it would accomp-
lish great deal.
How many housewives know
the value of common bicarbonate
of soda as fire extinguishing a
gent? Four ounces of soda to a
gallon of plain water has been
proven by actual test to be equal
to eighty gallons of ordinary wa
ter not so charged. The mixture
of soda and water will not harm
varnish, paint or clothing.
A bucketful of bicarbonate oil
soda water and tin cup may
save home and life. The throwing
of this soda water upon the FIRE
will cause the formation of ,
blanket of carbonic gas, known
technically as carbon dioxide, ant
under which no fire can live. /

A pound Of good soda costs but
a few cents and may be the
means, if used in the simple man
ner above mentioned, of saving
life and property, The water
charged with soda can be kept in
a tank, and will not deteriorate
in fire quenching properties in
several years. 1t will not freeze,
therefore, can be used under any
weather condition.
A citrus grove sprayer can,
with the use of soda as chemical
agent, be promptly turned into a
young chemical fire engine; sure,
safe, efficient and cheap. Fire in
the home or on fences, or in brush
or field, can be quickly put out
with it.-Ocala Star.
