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.
Perhaps the introduction of appli
ances which make the home more
cheerful and comfortable will do more
toward preserving our family life than
all the preachments of pessimists and
reformers.

Queer Superstitions.
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.

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.

SIDELIGHTS.
The worst is yet to come. A fash

where they will be tight fitting.”

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.
All taxes due ard payable between September 15th ar\d December 31st,
1929, will be collected without penalty. All taxe* not paid as stated will
be subject to penalties as provided by law:

February 1st, 1930, two per cent, will be added.
