the opportunity to prove his
sincerity. Don't make the mis-
take you did in the past. Go to
him as his legal wife and strive

H. w. Tive are undecided
what to do. We have bought a
spot of land and we want to
know which is best for us to
do, stay on the farm where we
are or move on the place we
bought?
Ans: It's late in the season
now to be making a change as
your husband has his crop well
under way. Stay on where you
are this year, as your husband
wants you to do, and make
your plans to move this fall.

Ans: His love at that time was
shallow and the fact that he
was extremely young prohib-
tied him from realizing just
what he did to you. He's still
single and you may be able to
win him yet. But, do not fail
all over yourself playing up to
him just because you love him.

know that the only way he can
have you is by marrying you
first.

Your State Health
Officer Says
Felix J. Underwood, M. D.
FALSE SECURITY

Pointing out the value of DOT
in controlling flies, mosquitoes
fleas, bedbugs, lice and other in
sects capable of transmitting in
fections to man, and 1880 and
Antu in destroying rats, Mr.. H. A.
Kroeze, Director of the Division
of Sanitary Engineering, State
Board of Health, said:
eft is a mistake to believe that
these potent poisons alone will
eliminate the health hazards in
volved in improper sanitation OF
the environment. We cannot
hope for the maximum of health
if we are negligent in the matter
of proper collection and disposal
of garbage, the chief source of
community fly breeding and the
chief food supply and breeding
and harborage places for rats.
An ordinary dump with rubbish
simply buried under little dirt
is not much good: it is open to
rat infestation and fly breeding
and is generally nuisance.
can area reclaimed by SAM
tary land fill is a community as
set. Proper handling and COM
pacing of the rubbish assures
that settling will be held to a
minimum and that the land will
be useful when the operation is
completed. In this method, rub
Dish is carried to the site where
it is deposited in a trench or ditch
previously made by bull
dozer or bullclam; then it is level
ed and compacted by bulldozers
or similar equipment into about
one-third its original volume.
Each trench is about 10 feet wide
and is filled to a depth of about
four to 10 feet with compacted
rubbish. At the end of each day
a cover of six inches of dirt is
placed over the compacted rub
bish; thus only a minimum of re-
fuse is exposed at any time
Mentioning Natchez, Jackson
and other towns where this
method is used to reclaim park
areas, Mr.. Kroeze stated that the
sanitary land fill has the addi-
tional advantage of requiring a
relatively small investment and
of being operated at low cost.
Special equipment, he stated,
makes it possible for one nan to
handle the entire operation at
the site for a small city.

COFFEE MAKERS
BY
FRANCES
F0RTENBERRY
Home Economics
Director Miss. Power
g. Light Co.

WHAT THEY ARE-There are
three types of electric coffee MAX
ers. The newest vacuum-type cof-
fee maker is unbreakable because
both upper and lower bowls are
all metal. 1t is fully automatic,
making delicious coffee Just right
every time. 1t turns itself off when
the coffee is done and then keeps
it hot until it all has been served.
Another more familiar type is
the all-glass. automatic coffee
maker. 1t has two glass bowls, a
filter and a separate electric stove.
A small magnet turns the heat off
when the coffee has brewed and
turns on low heat to keep the cot
fee hot.
The all-metal percolator has a
built-in electric unit. A safety fuse
shuts the current off automatical-
ly il you should forget thus pre-
venting the percolator from boil
ing dry.
Coffee makers are easy TO clean
Wash them with soap and water
after each use. Occasionally let
them boil up with one tablespoon
Of bicarbonate of soda added to
the water, then rinse with clear
water and dry. Never immense the
electric unit in water. Leave all
coffee makers open to air between
using. Percolator baskets are easy
to clean il dried in a warm place,
then tapped lightly to shake out
any residue left in the perfora-
lions. Rinse we'll and air dry.
WHAT THEY WILL Do
Three things make a good cup Of
coffee. Proper measurement of
both coffee and water, the temp
erature Of the water when it mixes
with the coffee and the length of
time the coffee is brewed.
With the automatic coffee max
er. use the right grind of coffee.
