Is there a spot somewhere called home Where, spent and worn, your soul may rest? A friendly tree? A book? A song? A dog that loves your hand's caress? A store of health to meet life's needs? Oh, build your house of happiness! B. Y. Williams. EVERYDAY GOOD THINGS If there Is a baby or invalid in the family give them prune-barley water.
