The Caidwell v c aman: c VOL. 29 COLUMBIA, LOUISIANA, FRIDAY, OCTI. 29, 1915 NO.45 THE MODERN KITCHEN in The kitchen is coming into its tie, own! There was a day when hip women devoted too much time to Th< this rear room of their homes, ien when the great kitchens of the for colonists were veritalle hives of industry, where work vwas hard eat and never ceasing. 'Th \ women in, of the households, esp,ciall in cu the Northeastern part of Anim; - tiol ca, knew little else hllt "dir., ;it duty and death" as one disheart ma ened creature is said (to have ex- is t pressed the defination of life as era she knew it. the Maids were not plenti 'ul, awl an the kitchen work had to be )(er'- im; formed by women of retinement, to as well as by the wives of coars- urn er clay. Then later even the busy colonists took on a veneer of cu ture,and kitchen work was look- ;sh ed upon with less favor. Culture p!" increased with succeeding gener- ini ations and the talk of pots and h,, pans, of spinning wheel and Is loom gave way to more interest- iis ing topics and,in some instances. too cooking was held to be despica- sto ble occupatation under any cir cumstances, and a subject to be val omitted from polite society. has With this condition caine a dis- am regard for the kitchen itself say among women who were other- ish< wise good home makers, and ele- ma gant parlors and untidy kitchens roa were encountered frequently in les: the women who had gotten a agt taste of "better things." the The pendulum has swung uis back now, and no room in the but home in the home comes in for oth more attention and care than the can kitehen. Women have learned es, that all labor is dignifid, t I balanced menus, scr and, while the women formerly fret brought to her domestic tasks as only willingness, energy, tradi- ma tion and common sense, the up- pet to-date housewife adds to these the a knowledge of science which liti makes cooking less irksome. a With this awakening interest sh in culinary occupations the kit- er chen itself is being beautified- w Time and thought and money are fr devoted to its furnishings. and L conveniences and labor saving l devices are in evidence every tp where. n It is astonishing how long t women leaned over tables that r were a few inches too low for their comfort, simply because some man had made them that height. Thanks to the domestic science instructors, however, students were brought to devote the samrne amount of thought and reason to the kitchen furnish ings that had been given cLstoll arily to plush parlor sets a(nd p),r tieres, and the thtalts a:e nowA higher and stopilii is avtilc. i !The most sanitary andl c:lVl ient apparatus is pircha..ahblt' for kitchen use.

In view 1-1 of the many requests the Iron Co Mountain Agricultural Depart-* 1 ment is receiving for inforia-t 0 s tion regarding the handling andni marketing of corn, Mr. D. C. Welty, Commissioner of Agricul- , : ture, has issued a large piacarc( ' e on the subject and it is being t A placed in every waiting-room A ig along the line in boto ihose ne States. 'this placard gives val-It h- uable information as to gather- - 'ill ing the grain, storing it on the 1 ed farm, fumigating it for weevils, ull preparing it for market and t a grading it. It also calls atten a- tion to the importance of select n'd ing seed corn in the field. THE LAYhMAN'S DUTY There never was a time when preachers and politicians formed an unholy alliance t.at civilization did not shriek out and Christianity cry aloud. Since the beginning of gov ernment, politiciýr- ".a,'f sought to decoy the mini. :r; i:,Ao t11i mesh(s of politics and make them carry banners in political processions. They have taken the ministry to the mountain top of power and offered to make them monarch of all they surveyed, and while most of them have said, "Get thee behind me Satan." a few have , fallen with a crash that has shaken n every pulpit in Christendom. POLITICAL PI F R MEETINGS e It is a sad day for Christianity when the churclh bells call the communicants together for a political prayer meet uing. Such gatherings mark the high .- tide of religious political fanaticism, put bitterness into the lives of men; fan the flames of class hatred and de Y stroy Christian influence in the conr munity. The spirit actuating such meetings is anarchistic, un-Christlike and dangerous to both church and state. The success of the nation is in the hands of the farmer. ceel ial Work for the best and the best will rise up and reward you. On Tenant farming is just one thifl na after another without a pay day. alf _---- S the Star Restaurant, S. Coulpepper.
