The Housewives
Obsession

EOPLE talk quite a bit about
obsessions nova days. II Ia
an obscssion with the school
child sometimes to arrive at school
on time. and he suffers mental tor
lures If he happens to he late. II
is the obsession of the merchant to
keep his earnings of every month
this year up to those of last and he
is cast into the dumps IL they
chance TO fall below although his
average earnings for the year are
much above those of last year. He
attaches an importance to that one
thing out Of all proportion TO its
real value. That makes II an OBJ
session.
There are housewifely ohses-
sions. too. Most Of us have one
of some sort. II is so hard TO keep
before us always the real ideal of
housewifely, TO realize quite dis
tinctly that our object is TO main
/ tain the health and comfort of the
/ family, and that always having the
silver polished once week and
always having the beds made by
nine in the morning are never i'm
portant ends in themselves.
Sometimes an obsession centers
on detail of the housework that
IS so vitally important to the health
or comfort of the family that it is
rather good sort of obsession
But usually they magnify some
mere incident in the household
duties. An obsession 10 keep all
drains and other plumbing scru-
pulously clean should be an advan-
tage. because this is so immensely
necessary to the maintenance oi
health. But TO have an obsessior
over the surface of hardwood
floors and to study to avoid the
slightest mar or bit OF dust on the
surface of the floor would be tire
some and useless. because there is
nothing actually unhygienic or un
wholesome about a floor that i.
marred or fiecked with dust ant
the housewife who has made thu
surface of her floors an absessior
usually pursues the members o.
her family with warnings not tt

But for the housewife the OBJ
session is always unfortunate be

energy and actually consum'
greater strength in doing the same
amount of work than is required

Vegetable Salads

Caulifiower makes a good salad.
The pieces OF caulifowsr should be
dressed with oil ten minutes or
more before the salad is put to-
gether- They should then be put
on beds of lettuce leaves and
dressed with French dressing with
a dash of paprika. Cold spinach
dressed with oil and served with
egg makes a good luncheon salad.
Very good results may be gained
from making gelatine moulds for
the luncheon salad II you have
time. The mixture may be made
from tomato. or cucumber with a
little meat il desired.

One can never have too many
small tables. At least, one seldom
has too many. Most of us haven't
enough. So those in the shops are
always alluring TO the woman who
is particularly interested in the
furnishings of her house. There
are many old ones, of walnut.
mahogany and oak, which are
called candle tables and, in the
days when candles were used for
lighting, were placed at will about
the room wherever more light was
needed. These make charming
little lamp tables, now-the
heavier of them; and they serve
also for holding books, for the
quiet game of solitaire. and for
smoking stands.

Civic Improvements from an Ednca.
ti0nal Standpoint.
BY Prof. T. c. Walton.

The idea Of beautifying our cities,
of making more attractive our homes,
has an educational basis. The great
aim of all educational endeavor is
the formation of character in the
child. Environment affects character
building. Whatever contributes to the
consummation Of this purpose Is an
important factor in the educational
system. Character, intellectual and
moral, is largely the result of two
forces, heredity and environment. The
present has no concern with the here
dity of itself; this is beyond its con-
troll, it had naught to do with its
parentage, but it can influence the
heredity of the future. So. while our
efforts are largely devoted to the fac
tor Of environment, our responsibility
is greatly enhanced by the thought
that. the present is the mine from
which will be stamped the coin of the
future.

The President, strenuous advocate
of economy, is enjoying his beautiful
new launch, purchased for him out of
the peoples money, to convey him
from the wharf to the Mayflower and
back again. Of course a fine launch
had always been provided for this
purpose, but some official who prob
ably desired to win the approval Of
the royal eye for a prosperous mo-
ment, conceived the idea that the
successor Of Jackson and Lincoln
should ride in palatial state such as
was affected by the Roman emperor
of those luxurious times preceding
the fatal day when the barbarians
stabbed their horses in the Forum. A
forty-ive-thousand-dollar launch is
the result; it is used about five min
utes per week. 1t is built Of solid
mahogany from the forests of Santo

Mexico and cushioned with the silks
of the Orient. 1t would require the
fervid imagination of Poe or a Rid
er Haggard to visualize some of
Hardings predecessors using the
hard-wrung taxes Of the farmer and
the laborer for this ostentation OF
luxury while preaching economy in
every breath. Who can imagine old
Andrew Jackson, who slept in his
spurs on in the muddy Chalmette
waiting for the British to land, allow
his understrappers to buy such a
bauble for him out of the peoples
money? And how would Lincoln look
who could split more rails from sun
to sun than any other man in his
county, lolling back in the down-filled
cushions of this wonderful boat? The
party Of Lincoln has fallen into strange
control in these later days.

Object of the Civic League.

The object of our Civic League is
to associate all persons who will in
terest themselves in the advancement
and improvement of Cheraw, to awak-
en- the people to the fact that our
town, altho' beautiful and progress
i've, is not what it should be. We
must cultivate higher ideals of civic
pride and not content ourselves with
the beauties Nature has so lavishly
bestowed upon us, but bestir ourselves
to do our part toward maintaining
and developing these gifts.
Environment has much to do with
the formation of character, and to be
surrounded by we'll kept grounds,
trees, beautiful plants and flowers is
uplifting and ennobling, hence it be-
hooves us to contribute to it's up
building. The league wishes to make
a strong plea for a deeper interest in
planting trees in public places, rs
we'll as the home grounds and caring
for and preserving the beautiful trees.
which Cheraw already possesses.
Cheraw has what few towns can boast
divide streets, and may we, soon be
able to, say beautifully kept. II all
property holders would do their bit"
in making their home grounds, walks
and streets clean, beautiful and At
tractive, then Cheraw could be truly
entitled to the name Of Charming
Cheraw."
The present city officials deserve
much credit for the improvements on
our streets, but there are many things,
which it is impossible for them to do,
and which is out of their province.
and which the citizen could conven-
iently do and should take pride in
doing. The League needs the CO.
operation of every individual in Che
raw.
