The Ocala evening star. [volume] (Ocala, Fla.) 1895-1943, 1918-08-15

From the wreck,
Turns his bruised face
Toward the rising sun,
4 And builds a temple
Where fate planned a tomb!

Let Us Stop and Think Minute
Most casually / heard this remark,
which might set others as well as
myself to doing some serious think
ing:
/ ITO look at the tired business man
'over here at the end of business
day and then at the supplies and the
gifts his women folks send off to the
boys in camp is to realize that it is
really this almost unnoticed man who
jpays for the time, the money and
materials which his household puts
into its charities and war relief work,
and for which it's members may give
credit to themselves alone"
Now we as women, want most fully
to yield large share of our money,
our time and the work of our hands
to the men "over there" But at the
same time, wouldn't it be more fair
to the men "over here" if we used
i every effort to have better manage
ment and efficiency in our homes-if
we justified the time spent in stimu-
lating men in training camps by also
stimulating the men who support
| them there?
| Women have by nature, believe, a
4 IL .x,4,, u
know for surety that the best way
to fight depression is to make per-
son laugh long and heartily. So as
home-makers might we not establish
relaxation and amusement as a fami-
ly habit during wartime? How about
bringing back the old fashioned fam
| lily picnic? To eat any meal informal
ly out of doors is refreshing and
soothing habit, which we should fol-
low more often than we do in sum-
tmertime.
/ This is bare suggestion, but in
other words, may we not begin to use
our intuition so that we can practice
economy without lowering the stand
ard of living. and to try with all our
might to give bountiful cheer and en-
Encouragement and confidence to the
thousands of Uncle Sans soldiers of
Industry over here
