4 Saving. HAPPY Wife

Dear Household: Spring is beginning
to scatter her fragrant blossoms; here
and there are leaves peeping out. This
is encouraging to the farmers l have
not planted my garden yet, as measles
have kept me in the house. I have just
taken off fifteen fluffy little chicks. The
weather in our section has been warm,
but today is cold and damp.
Mrs. Thomas, I enjoy your talk about
chickens, wartime saving, and also
about japan. We in this Christian
land have lots to be thankful for.
Wish I could send some recipes for
making cornmeal into wholesome dishes,
but, alas. I am one of the unfortunate
cooks. Can make mullins and use all
cornmeal for making the dressing for
baked chicken. We are cutting out
-four by degrees. hot mullins with butter
and good syrup is hard to beat. 1 never
let my children waste anything, and tell
them that they must be saving so our
soldier boys will have plenty. 1 read
a letter from a soldier in North Caro-
lima saying that he was well, but
wouldn't be at that camp long / wrote
him a CHEEKY letter.
l make my own soap for washing
clothes by saving every scrap of ran
cied meat and leftover small pieces
from the table. Be it ever so small,
save it. / have an old cup to put scraps
in. See how it counts.
We don't keep a dog. I feed what IT
takes to feed one on and give it to my
hens. And they return II in eggs. I
love all good dogs and think they should
have their share of bread. 1 lost mine
last June, and haven't tried to replace
her.
Will stop TO sive space TO another
God be with all our dear Household.
MRS. NJ PARKER.

STOP A MOMENT!
LISTEN TO THIS
Cincinnati man tells how to
lift off any corn without
hurting one bit

You reckless men and women who
are pestered with corns and who have
at least once a week invited an awful
death from lockjaw or blood poison are
now told by a Cincinnati authority to
use a drug called freezone, which the
moment a few drops are applied to any
corn, the soreness is relieved and soon
the entire corn, root and all, lifts out
with the fingers.
1t is a sticky substance which dries
the. moment it is applied and is said
to simply shrivel the corn without in
flaming or even irritating the surround
ing tissue or skin. 1t is claimed that
a quarter of an ounce of freezone will
cost very little at any of the drug
stores, but is sufficient to rid ones feet
of every hard or soft c0rn or callus.
You are further warned that cutting
at a corn is a suicidal habit Advt.,

Wants TO Go 20 Pranoa

Dear Mrs. Thomas: 1 have just fin.
ished reading the letters from Our
Household. There are so many, many
of us who have our minds overburdened
/ say to myself, Now this war-winning
depends wholly on me; on what l save
and / never brush the crumbs from the
table but what 1 think of the boys in
the trenches.
Remember to save. We can do much
to help win, and if our country is not
worth saving for, we should at least
value the lives of our dear American
boys.
1t don't hurt us to save. [ think that
we will have these troubles until we
are made to love and appreciate others
ard learn to divide.
The more that are called to go, that
much more we should strive to save
The more we save and make for our
country, the more sooner the United
States will win the war. There's a bright
side to everything. 1 hope some OF
the troubled parents may consider
things different and be brave and true
| would not advise any boy not to fight
for his country. 1 naturally want to
go to France and get one clear shot al
the kaiser myself.
1t would be just as easy to go and
night as it is to stay at home and work
and worry over the situation. When
our farmer boys are called from rs is
when we will fully realize war.
No matter how much is made. the old
farmers can't possibly harvest enough
without the boys.
This is my first attempt to write tc
this paper. I hope my letter will find a
welcome. remaiR

FLORIDA FACTS AND SUNSHINE
Dear Mrs. Thomas: After reading
your article. also Mrs. Hardin's. Mr..
Kinsey's and Mrs. YOungblood's letters,
I want TO write and tell you that the
Florida sunshine is my baby-chick
brooder just now.
February came with as warm weather
as ] have ever experienced here in
Florida and this is my eighth winter
here 1 have young chickens with
hen that set out in the Palmettos and
they never froze. for the weather is so
pretty and warm.
Ny garden is green and pretty. Moth
ing has been killed in my garden this
winter. | read so much of the cold wealth
err in yours and Mrs. Felton's pieces
but 1 have not felt niue hof it so far.
I remember when I resided in Atlanta,
February and March were the months
we always dreaded. We are sure to
have an early spring from all indica-
tions. The peach and plum trees are in
full bloom at this date. February 18TH.
My spring garden, will plant in March,
IL the weather permits.
have learned TO make I've soap at
home and il cleanses the farm clothes
better than the store kind" I always
put one bar of laundry soap with my
I've soap when it is boiling. Then the
I've soap will make a good lather. Other
wise mine would never lather as
would like il.
Our baby. who has always been so
delicate since she was two months old
walked Christmas She delights in get
ting out i'm the yard for we don't need
to keep a FIRE these days. All of the
children have discarded their shoes, it. s
SO nice and warm.
Let US all pray for peace before our
husbands and brothers are taken away
to fight in this bloody, cruel war. My
husband is in the fourth class. l can't
help but worry for fear he may be called
away from me and my three children.

Mrs. Thomas. you have told us to use
permangated potash in the drinking
water for chickens. 1 have used il for
years. but there is other things that
potash is good for. My doctor told me
he used it as a hypodermic to cure
rattlesnake bites Summer heat and
sores will cure up if washed in a solu-
ton of potash not too strong I have
used potash for years with good re-
suits. Soda and buttermilk are good
for sick chickens with bowel trouble

laying now. Eggs are 35c, friers are
SOC apiece in my section OF the country.
] want to raise some turkeys. but have
no start I want to try the Burbon Red

| the pure food laws will make you sell
them as preserved eggs. ] never have
had to preserve any, for when eggs are
plentiful il is the season to sell for

month in the year. I have bought two
dozen eggs in two years and each time

The government formula gives nine
quarts OF boiled water instead OF ten.
but the one l give you has been thor

glass eggs be sure to pierce the large
end of each one with needle il you
are going 10 boil them.
Are YOU fixing dry quarters for your
baby chicks? They cannot stand damp
ness, and when hot weather comes they
must have shade and soft soil to wal
low in. Even with buttermilk soaring
as IL is. you cannot afford to do with
out it, unless you are buying CONNER
ciaI meat scraps - ~pr chickens. The
baby chicks Il p me UJttermilk before
they have thot first meal. The Tactic
acid i'm the buttermilk is the only real
antidote for white diarrhoea- better
use that from the beginning and avoid
colds. than spend a lot Of money in
medicine. Even when the weather gets
warm, II is sensible TO keep the hen in
floored coop until the chickens are
two weeks old. 1t is not much trouble
20 keep il clean. I get large boxes tur1
them down and tack baby chick wire
over the end. then when the chicks are
old enough 10 come out l turn back a
corner Have grit in there and some
chaff and you will be able to clean ii
quickly.
Plant your sunflowers, some dwarf
Essex rape and Swiss chard. The richer
your soil the better for growth. Our
chard was a satisfaction TO us and to
the chickens. 1t makes delicious salad
when tender. and renews its leaves is
fast as the rape does. There is a pound
of rape seed on the table in the hall,
and I'm a few days we will have them
IN the ground. Unless your soil is
rich enough for turnips or onions, /
advise you to put the rape in rows, then
il can be worked. This pound of seed
will feed pigs, calves, poultry and peo-
pie

one Of you TO send for. Do not send to
me, for I only have my own copy. Sen !

Memorial or Decoration?

The difference between Memorial day and Dec
Grafton day was thus defined by Hon. B. H. Black
burn: Memorial Day, he explained, was of southern
origin and was adopted two years before Decoration
day was adopted in the north. The manner in
which the idea originated Mr.. Blackburn related
follows: "A number of ladies representing the Sol
diers Aid Society of Columbus, Ca. visited
March II, 1866, Linwood cemetary to give spring
dressing to the graves of Confederate soldiers.
While attending this duty they observed the little
daughter of Mrs. Williams gathering wild flowers
and placing them on the graves of the unknown
Confederate dead. Thus the immortal suggestion of
organized remembrance was given to these loyal
southern women by the Unborn patriotism of little
child.
"On returning to their homes these true south
ern women decided that day to organize the first
Memorial Association that instituted in the south.
and with view of making it general Mrs. Mary Ann
Howard Williams gave her name and the names of
her associates to glory by addressing letter to the
Columbus Times, which will ever remain a part of
the imperishable service. '-Sel.

only by fire. To bury the flag has been suggested,
but it is stated the other hand that the remains may
be brought light and the method is not consider
ed good practice. -.
To throw the discarded flag into the waste might
be considered Dissertation at least unpatrotic
Disregard of it's sacredness. Fire appears the only
way of satisfactory destruction
To apply the flag to any further purpose after
it's usefulness flag has ended would be consider
ed dissertation. even if not punishable by law
public offense. 1t should never become dust rag
or part of patch work any other use there
AFTER in the general opinion of those who would pay
it proper honor.
None of the flags whipped to ribbons in the
breeze from the staffs over the treasury building
ever has been destroyed. They have been carefully
folded and put into storage under the regime of
Chief Clerk Wilmeth. Reluctant to destroy them,
the necessity may some day confront him custo-
dian of the building, and he will destroy them by
fire.
In the navy and coast guard, regulations require
that useless flags be destroyed by fire. This regula
ton is strictly enforced. Washington Star
