(Paper Read by Mrs. E. Sickler at Farmers’ Club.) L2 Van- The first home beautiful was the Garden of Eden, fresh from the hands of the Creator, the home of our first parents. Liike many another home in later ages, the home beautiful was lost to its occupants through the entrance of sin. I like to think of Eve. our foremother, with that determination which she has bequeathed ' to her daughters, overcoming obstacles of every kind to make a home for Adam and her children. All through the many examples given us of the home where love was the guiding star, and woman the light and joy of "the home, and the laws of chivalry ruled the men of_the land. Writers and poets have had for their theme the home beautiful in song and story. Yt is an old story, yet ever new. Man can build, adorn and beauti- | fy his estate, but it does not become home until woman enters its por- tals. Behold what magic is in her touch! Cold wood and stone, nisen- gible furnishings partake of her per- sonality. The whole atmosphere of the home bespaks what manenr of woman is its mistress. azes we have Home making is a gift, which all women do not possess in the same proportion. Some can make the home beautiful with very few of this world's goods. One of the best as- sets in home making is content- ment; of far greater value than wealth. Many a frontier home built logs, many a sod house on the ern plains, held within their all the elements that make the beautiful. Homes that have sent from their doors our statesmen and presidents. 1 was asked to speak on interior decorations of the home beautiful. 1 have spoken of the most important, she who occupies the highest place, the wife and mother, man’s help meet . She who, with her unselfish love, i gives of herself to build the home. 'I’l‘hn young olive branches are the best shall interior decoration. No "home 1s really complete without llhnsp evergreens, yielding greater returns and bringing more lasting ‘joy than any other investment. They thrive best in the sunlight of love, which is found to shine with more power in mother’s room in the home beautiful, There is an influ- ence that goes out .from the home that partakes of the spirit of that home, who can estimate the power for good in the world that emanates from a Christian home?

Sl We acknowledge, without thanks, articles from some press bureau knocking brick as a material for road building. Of course the ar- ticles were prepared and sent out by people who are interested in other material being used. There are oth- er things that make good roads but none is superior to brick and every mile of brick road put down in the State is a permanent asset of great value. R N Of course Willis Powell doesn’t need the Associated Press service. He could take the office Bible, on which he always sits while writing his editorials, whack out of it the story of the creation, put a New York, London or Petrograd date line on it, and split his front page wide open with it. claiming it to be a scoop on the A. P.—and he'd get away with it. But we who are not 80 blithely brazen have to rely on the best human agency for procur- ing the news—and that the Asso- clated Press admittedly is.

There is no law for the examina- tion of some forms of drugless prac- titioners, but there ought to be for the welfare of the people and the protection of the nation. This must come first and should be the ideal of every physician. 1f 1 understood the bill right, and that it is for the purpose of found- ing a commission board for examin- ling all practitioners, every one in his own line of practice, I do not see why any doctor should resent the idea, as 1 am sure that every com- petent physician of every line should welcome it unless he does not object to being put in the wrong light of being afraid of the examination. In the me#ntimne, I do not believe that such law should be retroactive especially in the case of physicians who have been in practice tor years as the memory of such physicians would fail them to answer the tech- nical points and theories, while the 1o:g period of their practice would have given them sufficient experience to carry on ‘heir work without do- irg harm. ———eee and co-workers in your socicty are going to ‘“‘make good” this summer, It will encourage others to do the same. “Religious Reading; What' and Why" is next Sunday's topic.
