America Leads In
Home Comforts

THE average American home has more comforts and
conveniences than the palaces of Europe. Home for
home, the American household has a well-kept look,
an atmosphere of prosperity and contentment you cannot
find in the homes of any other country in the world.
In foreign lands, the modernized dwelling, as we know
It. is found only in limited numbers and then only in the
larger cities.
In America even in remote rural districts. you find
pianos, vacuum cleaners, washing machines, up-to-date
heating systems, telephones and ~numberless appliances
that go far to make life easier, happier and more worth
while. -
You may not realize it, but Americas high standard
of home life is due largely to advertising. For the devel-
opment of advertising is distinctly American. 1t has taken
its place as a leading force in bringing together the in
terests and wants of a great, united people. And a large
share of the credit for this development is due to the
newspapers.
Stop and think how many of the appliances you use,
the foods and other articles you eat. you wear the clothes
entering into your everyday life, were popuarized by
newspaper advertising.
Then you will realize what a vital part advertising has
played and is playing in your daily life
You QUE it to yourself to read the
advertisements. They mean a
lot to you.

gram is the subject chosen by Miss
Anna Drake, state supervisor of public
health nursing for her talk at the meet:
ing of the Hamilton County Health
council in the Chamber of Commerce at
noon Feb. rs.
The need for some central source ia
which health nurses might turn for

Of daily life. She points out that the
way to incorporate these facts into the
daily life in the homes and schools is
to have health administration paid
for by public funds.
1t remains she says for the rel:-
lively small group of persons who are
interested to bring about this use OF
the funds.
She points ont that il has been the
policy of the Red Cross to put on il
program only Of one

real good time.
The church and community at
large, in fact, the whole town of
Rodman, has been unusually profited
by Br Their Martins administration
here with US, and within the past
1.-TWO Years he has greatly endeared
himself to us by his admirable char
acter and earnest devotion to duty,
and the hearty interest he has mani
tested to our welfare as a people;
therefore, we consider it great loss
to lose Brother Martin, but as we are
taught, "The closest friends must
part" and when we think of this, we
must consider that it is for the best
that Brother Martin is leaving US
however, we feel like our loss is west
Florida's gain in having this noble
and great preacher go back amongst
them. t
From the pulpit he has been faith
full in presenting the precepts of our
religion, and he has warned US
against the evils that continually be-
set us, and has earnestly pleaded to
Fseek out true happiness in the paths
of rectitude and peace, and right
here we can say that the church has
been greatly revived by the coming
of this faithful servant of God.
In our homes he has been our sin
cere sympathizing counselor and tru-
est friend. In our hours of pain and
sorrow he has spoken soothing and
gentle words to our troubled hearts.
Our children have been helped by his
instructions, and his benedictions
have rested upon us in our domestic
and business affairs, and in all things
he has proven himself our competent
pastor.
