The Nursery Windows.

M,nv of the ills that affect the little lords
and ladies of the childish realm can be
traced directly to defective ventilation. In
deed if greater attention were paid to the
needs of the nursery in the original construc-
tion of houses there would be fewer pale
faces to redden fewer debilitated bodies to
often this important apartment is merely
a convenient room, recognizable as nur-
sery by nothing more commendable than
general confusion, stuffy atmosphere and
the presence of children.
The nursery should face the south, if pos
sibIe-never the north. The windows should
be so large as to admit abundance of
light, and they should not be obstructed py
heavy shades curtains The children
should be encouraged to sit or play in the
direct sunshine for one or two hours every
day except in warm weather, and then, OF
course they should be outdoors most of the
time.
IT is in the winter time that the nursery
windows should receive especial attention
more particularly when they must be used
for ventilation as well as for light. There
is little danger of admitting too much air
for the atmosphere of the room is never so
fresh and pure that of the exterior But
the windows can not be left open IN WIN
ter and the quantity of cold air that is
then admitted through them must be gov
erned by the method of heating, the size OF
the room. the number of its occupants and
the other sources of ventilation
A temperature of sixty-five to seventy
five degrees Fahrenheit should be maintain
ed but enough fresh air must always be
admitted to prevent that in the room from
becoming close stuffy- Economy of fuel
must not be permitted to close the sources
of fresh air. If much difficulty is ex-
perience in maintaining both temperature
and ventilation it is better to consult an
architect.
When the windows must be kept open dur
ing very cold weather, window boards should
be employed partially completely to close
the lower openings when the lower sashes
are raised.
The cold air then enters between the sashes
and becomes more uniformly diffused, with
out producing cold currents near the floor.
The drafts of cold air coming from closed
windows do not ventilate the room; they
are only currents of air that have been chill
ed by contact with the window panes- Chill
dren should not be permitted to sit in these
drafts, for colds are induced by them more
certainly than by air from the outside

profitable source of fuel alcohol, if
the tax was out of the way.
The cane and sugar beet producers
of the United States are largely inter-
ested in securing adequate markets
for the mOlasses, the by-prOduct OF
these industries 1t is a well-knOwn
fact that alcohol can be readily pro-
duced from molasses, and some of
the European governments are en-
deavOring to favor the manufacturers
of alcohol by granting them very low
taxation on such alcohol as shall be
so changed in its character as to
prevent its Use as a beverage. Such
alcohol is called denaturaliZed.
Congress passed a bill years ago
granting manufacturers the right to
use alcohol in the arts free from any
tax John q. Carlisle, then Secretary
of the Treasury, seemed to have
great fear of frauds if the law were
put into force and, availing himself
OF that paragraph of the law which
said that the Secretary of the Treas
ury should determine the regulations
by means of which manufacturers
could get free alcohol, he would issue
no regulations, and the law became
dead letter.
Gasoline has now become an ex-
tremely favOrite fuel for use in small
moterS and, to some extent, for use In
large mOters. The price of gasoline
is relatively high and its explosive ca
pacity is limited. Our engineers say
that alcohol would be much more eff
fective, and on the Continent in
Europe alcohol has already been large
ly adapted to the uses for which we
continue to use gasoline. If all of
those interested in the sugar industry
would take the matter in hand, it
might be very possible to secure free
alcohol, for use in the manufacturing
arts and also for the development of
motive power. AS long as the govern
ment needs as much money as it now
does and secures it by such taxation
as now prevails, we can have but lit
tie hope for the cessation of the tax
ON alcohol used in any way as a bever
age. The disposition of Congress,
however, has generally been to favor
the manufacturers of the country with
free alcohol, if it can be done without
injury to the revenues. Now, that
alcohol is so largely superceding gasO-
line on the Continent of Europe, we
have an additional incentive to secure
flee alcohol for that purpose, and
some concerted action on the part of
the cane sugar producers and the beet
sugar producers might lead to legis-
lation that would give us relief in this
direction.

Injured While SWIMMING.

Tuesday afternoon, Merle Bohrer,
the l2-year old son of VIM. Bohrer,
had a narrow escape from drowning in
the Republican river. He and some
other boys had been fishing in the
river and decided to take a swim.
Merle climbed into a tree at a place
which had formerly been deep, but
which was filled up by the recent high
water. He dived from the tree into
water less than two feet deep, striking
his head on the bottom. When he
arose he was apparently smiling and
the other boys, thinking he was un
hurt, let him drift. 1t seems how
ever, that the shock partially para
lyzed his limbs, and when he finally
got his breath, he called for assist
ance. He was taken out of the water
by his playmates, and it vas then dis,
covered that he was unable to move
his limbs. He vas taken to the home
| of Charles Turner and medical aid
summoned. At the present writing
the little fellow is in a precarious con
dition, being unable to nov his limbs
and it is feared serious results may
follow.

Webster County at the State Fair.

Rev. Geo. w. Hummell and l.. &.
Peisinger have been appointed a com
mittee to gather samples of the pro-
ducts of Webster county and arrange
them for exhibition at the state fair.
Specimens will be received at Fire
mems hall in Red Cloud up to We'd.
nesday, August 30, and farmers, fruit
growers and others are urged to bring
in specimens of their products for the
exhibit. 1t is not necessary that your
specimens should be phenomenally
large; on the contrary, vegetables,
grain, fruit, etc, that are small,
though showing perfect development,
are received with as much or more
favor than the large though imperfect
specimens. Bring in samples of every
thing you raise-the more varied the
exhibit the higher the county will
stand in the final ranking.
Last year Webster county ranked
eleventh in the agricultural exhibit
and secured over 800 in prizes, OF
more than enough to pay the expenses
of placing the exhibit. This year it is
hoped to far excel last years showing
which was the first effort made by this
county.

"VIC" Fulton a Candidate.

V. b. Fulton this week announces
his candidacy for the Republican nom
ination for county clerk. Mr.. Fulton
needs no introduction to the people of
the county, having lived here since his
boyhood, and having been associated
with the lumber business of the city
for more than twenty years. The ed
itor of this paper has known "Vic" for
more than twenty years-since the
time when both were charter members
of II. S. Haley Camp No. %, Sons of
Veterans and in all those years we
nave never heard one word against his
character, either as a private citizen
or rs a business man. In all
matters, public as we'll as private, he
was always to be found on the side of
morality and right living, there never
being any doubt as to his position on
those questions. Mr.. Fulton was until
quite recently manager of the Traders
Lumber Co., until that firm sold out
and is at present temporarily in charge
William Sullivan's lumber business
There can be no question of his ability
to fill the office, either from an educa
tional or a business standpoint.

candidate for the office of sheriff, sub
iect to the will of the Republican con

Webster county for about thirteen
years, having been engaged in farming
up to a short time ago, when he re-
moved to Red Cloud in order to give
his children the advantage of an edu-
cation in the city schools. He is a ma
tive of Ohio, and served in an Ohio reg
iment during the civil war with honor
TO himself and to his state, and is now
one of the leading members of the G,
A. r. in this county. Mr.. McConkey
is a man of robust physique, despite
his age and service in the Union army
