The home must be pre- aerved at all costs. Home Comfort Sought. One of the significant and encourag ing trends of modern life, both ur ban and rural, is the growing demand for greater comfort in the home. This is indicated by the increasing employ ment in the household of modern con veniences and labor-saving devices whifh make for contentment and health. Engineers and manufacturer* are bending their energies to the develop ment of ever better equipment to re place the old symbols of drudgery', *U^h as the broom, the washtub and the coal scuttle. Incidentally, the present perfection of oil heating sys tems promises to cause the coal scut tle, wood box and ash heap to go the way of the horse and buggy. Among the new devices for the home described in a recent article on mod ern housekeeping is a heater called the disto-stove, so named because it uses distillate from crude oil a* fuel, which is claimed to combine convenience, cleanliness and uniformity of tempera ture at a low cost. This is only one of the numerous first aids to house wives recently developed.

Ma»<» Ai** Superstitions regarding the preven tion and cure of diseases have persisted from time immemorial, many of them being still prevalent in the more backward sections of the coun try. A few were called to mind by a recent writer, in noting the death of *n aged Kentuckian who continued to wear earrings to the last, in the be lief that they were good for his eye- tight. Another old-time notion was that wearing a mustache was beneficial to weak eyes, just as it was thought that carryring a buckeye or a potato in the pocket would prevent or cure rheuma- tiam. One doesn’t have to be so very old to remember when children were caus ed to wear a little bag of aaafetida •trang around the neck ms a protec tion against “catching” diseases, and wfcaa hi many homes bunches of vari- bung about for believed that ■ the ‘ Forty-seven yep.rs is not such a long time, yet within that period the elec trical industry has been built from nothing to its present amazing pro portions An unpleasant official task fell to the lot of Police Chief Joseph Herden, of Fairhaven, N. J., u few nights ago. Called to arrest someone who was pounding on Mrs. Pearl Mack’s back door and using loud amd threatening language, he found the offender to be Mrs. Hecden, his wife. But he did his duty. TREASURER’S TAX NOTICE George J. McLaughlin has been married for several days, but hasn’t had an opportunity to kiss his bride It wa* on September 4th, J yet. The young lady, Miss SarahFort jl882, that Edison’s first central sta tion for the generation of electricity was put into opciation on Pearl Street, New York City. Recently three models of this first plant have been made for preservation, one going to the Smithsonian Insti tute, another to Henry Ford’s mu seum in Dearborn, Mich., and the third to the headquarters of the Edison company. Compaied with the mighty power plants of the present, the old Pearl Street station appears almost as a toy affair, but it worked and wa* the be ginning of an industry which has changed the aspect of the world’s in dustrial and social fabric. Long confined to the service of the larger cities, electricity gradually spread to the smaller towns, and in recent years has been carried to the rural districts, where it serves hun dreds of thousand* of farms and coun try homes. Rural electrification is still in its * ■. fa infancy, however, and its rapid exten sion during the coming years will doubtless present another phenomenon as striking as any of the others which have been witnessed since Edison built his first crude plant 47 years ago.

Paul Thomas, 13, of Salt Lake City, holds 88 Boy Scout merit badges, leaving only one more, the archery badge to be won. He expects to ac quire it this fall. Helen Fetch, 15-year-old Los Ange les girl, i s one of the greatest gym nasts living, her acrobatic feats being amazing to experts in that line. Robert Morse, 10, of Chicago drove two burglars out of his home by flourishing an old toy pistol. Pat Brazier, of London, 15, is con sidered the coming" woman tennis champion of England, and perhaps of the world, being ranked close to Betty Nuthall, the famed young British star. SIDELIGHTS. The worst is yet to come. A fash ion authority declares that the latest trousers for fall and winter wear “will balloon from the hips to the ankles, where they will be tight fitting.” Men and tigers played t desperate game to a close scofre last year In India. Hunters accounted for 1,068, tigers, while tigers killed 1,033 hu mans, according to the best figures available. Some say do not but be that as it may they good from it. This amazing figure, arrived at by the Leonard Institute of Food Preser vation, is the annual ice wa*te in Barnwell due to faulty refrigeration. It is based on a survey of ice melt- age in Rochester, N. Y., shewing a per capita waste of 500 pounds of ice. The American public is literally pour ing water into a sieve, the water being in the form of ice and the sieve being the leaky uninsulated" refrigerator that does not keep out hot air. The average family should ‘Use about 8,000 pounds of ice a year if the refrigerator is well insulated and the doors fit tightly, according to food specialists. This provides for keep ing the ice chamber well filled in win ter as well as summer. Although the average family uses only half this amount, the survey at Rochester, a typical American city, showed that an alarming proportion of the ice pur chased is wasted each year in the average home. For the nation this involves a loss of millions of dollars in ice alone, besides the even greater loss in spoiled food caused by the poor refrigeration. Purchasers of refrigerators too of^ ten consider price alone, say food preservation experts. Like an auto mobile, the refrigeiator should be purchase4 on performance as well as appearance. The use of modem all- steel refrigerators with approved in sulation would go far towaid doing away with this heavy loss, they state. In selecting a refrigerator, one with neither the minmum or maxi mum ice meltage should be chosen, ac cording to the Leonard Institute. The refrigerator that consumes the most ice is, naturally, too costly to keep fill ed and will not maintain the desired temperature of 50 degrees or less, while one that consumes the least ice probably has faulty circulation and will not do its job of keeping food in a perfect state of preservation. A reasonable rate of ice meltage ig es sential to keep food good. The ice should never be covefed with a blan ket or paper to retard its melting. The Courty Treasurer’s office will be open from September 15th, 1929, to March 15th, 1930, for collecting 1929 taxes, which include real and personal property, poll* and road tax.
