The Washburn leader. [volume] (Washburn, McLean County, N.D.) 1890-1986, 1902-01-11

Like a great many other men of
genius who have lived in this world,
the late Eugene Field was generally
hard up for money. Nevertheless, this
is no infallible token of genius, and his
latest biographer goes to the limit of
indelicacy in retailing episodes in the
career Of his subject illustrating his
impecuniosity. These are among the
things that are better left unsaid, ex-
cept as they serve to illumine char.
acter.

John w. Vogel's big minstrels
consisting of more than fifty people
will be seen at the Opera House
Monday night. A glance at the
roster of this organization, together
with Vogers reputation for hand
ling nothing but the best precludes
any possibility of an inferior per-
formance. The scenery construct
ed for the first part is said to be
the most elaborate and expensive
ever built for a similar purpose.
The setting is called the Million
aires Outing" a beftting title, be-
cause of the appropriate costumes
and the powerful calcium and cleo
trical effects used thereon. This is
the only setting of the kind ever
constructed.

POPULARITY OF RALPH KISNER
His Election as District Attorney a Recogni.
lion OF Ability. .

The Danville Morning Neys has
the following to say about a former
Columbia county boy. The sub
ject was born and raised at Mill
vile.
"The election of Ralph Kisner,
Esq, as District Attorney of Mon
tour county is a recognition of his
popularity and ability. He has
only been in this county FIVE years,
but in that time the friendships
made enabled him to receive a vote
that any candidate might we'll take
pride in. He was the only Repub-
lican that carried the county and
his plurality is close to four hun
dred.
When the vote cast for Pattisou
and the other Democratic candi-
dates is taken into consideration
the figure by which Mr.. Kisner
won is highly flattering. His.
election meets with general salts
faction and he is kept busy receiv-
ing the congratulations of many
friends. There was no party prin-
ciple involved in his campaign, but
it was simply one of popularity and
he ran exceptionally we'll through
out the entire county, as the re-
turns from the various districts
show"

ALL OVER THE HOUSE.
Air Your Bedding, but Do Not Place
Pillows In the Sun.

In airing beds the most thorough,
careful housekeeper often errs
through her very thoroughness. She
will shake the sheets, blankets, etc.,
and hang them out of the window
and over chairs, having them all'ex-
posed as much as possible to the
direct rays of the sun and in the
strongest breeze, and this is just
what should be done. Then the pill
lows will be taken up and thumped
until they are soft and fluffy and
placed in the very sunniest spot,
and this is all wrong. The sun will
draw the oil from the feathers, and
the pillows will have a rancid, dis
agreeable odor. Expose them to the
air daily, be as thorough as you
please in this, and place the pillow
slips in the sun if you wish, but do
not make the mistake of giving pill
lows, holsters, cushions or anything
containing feathers long sun bath
OF you will do them more harm than
good.-Exchange.

FREE FOOD FOR A YEAR.
Twelve Young Men Start on a
New Diet on Monday.

Twelve young men in the Gov
ernment officers at Washington,
on small salaries, will be given
free board for one year, starting
with Monday of last week. This
will be done by Prof. Wiley, chief
Of the Bureau of Chemistry Of the
Agriculture Department, who is
to test the physiological effects
of the use of preservatives on
meat. The work to be carried
out to decide what ground there
is objections of the German gov
ernment TO American meats
The twelve young men selected
are volunteers, and all are young
and vigorous. Each has pledged
himself to abstain from food and
drink except as permitted by
Prof. Wiley.
Six will be fed on "pure" foods
untreated meats and vegetables,
while the other six will partake
of the same fare submitted to
chemical treatment. This ar
raugment will continue for two
weeks, and then the government
boarders will change their diet,
at the end of another two weeks
reversing their diet again. The
men will be weighed before each
meal and carefully notes will be
taken of their appearance each
day. Professor Wiley, in speak
ing of the experiments, said:
THE best food obtainable will
be given to the boys. The fare
will not be lavished, but will be
above that of the average board
ing house, and will include all the
vegetables and meats of the sea-
son.
"The experiments will be con-
Quoted by the government to
demonstrate what effects borax,
salicylic acid, formaldehyde, ben
zoic acid, benzoate of soda, sui
purous acid and other chemicale
used for preserving food-stuffs
have on the health of the consum-
ers.

A Bedroom "settle."

An ingenious and convenient sub
stitute for a SETTLE" in a sleeping
apartment where space is limited is
made in this way: Have a broad,
stout shelf with sidelike arms at
tached by carpenter to the foot
board of the bedstead at the same
height as the regulation settle or
corner seat. If the board be of the
same variety of wood as the bed
stead, so much the better; otherwise
it may be stained to match. Make
a cushion for this seat or pile it
with cushions and it will make q
comfortable resting place.
