THE VALUE OF PARAFFlN.
The Housewife Seems Ignorant Of the
Many Purposes to Which
It May Be Put.

Few people understand the value OF
paraf1n, 1t being very useful for vari.
GUS purposes In the household as well
as for many kinds of outside work.
Most housekeepers know of its use
fulness for covering jam and jelly, bu:
that Is often as far as their experience
goes. About an eighth of an inch In
thickness Is required for this use. and
II 1t is carefully washed after being
removed from the glass 1t can be melt
cd and used again.
For all purposes for which parafnn
is used 1t is first melted and then
poured over the surface, which should
be cold to give the best results. :.
For sealing bottles Of pickles or cat
sup push the cork into the bottle 80 "a
to leave a hollow at least fourth oil
an inch deep. Fill this with melted
paraffin and the bottle will be all
tight.
II the corks In bottles which contain
acid or other strong chemicals are laid
in hot paraffln until they are soaked
with 1t the contents of the bottle will
have no effect on them, as paraffin Is
acid proof
For cleaning fiatirons or waxing
thread paraffin can be used exactly like
beeswax.
The best cheese Will often lose its
flavor during hot weather and this
coating Of wax will prevent 1t, also
prevent loss In weight by shrinkage.
Eggs can be perfectly preserved for
long time by its use. simply dipping
them in paraffin so that very thin
coating Is formed all over them.
Farmers who cure the hams and
shoulders of pork will find parafin a
fine protection from the action of the
air and the ravages of insects.
Wooden tubs and pals in which but
ter, pickles and other products ale
stored can be made watertigtt by its
use and the wax, only film over Their
surface, will efectually prevent the
contents from absorbing any OF the
taste Of the wood as we'll as hinder tn /,
absorption of odors by. the tub.
To get the best results have the tub
not only clean and dry but slightly
warm, so that the wax will enter tn,
pores OF the wood.-Chicago Chroni-

FuRlES IN THE ARENA.



Describing wrestling match be-
tween women in japan, a writer says:
1.-The wrestlers arranged themselves in
two sides. each led by a captain. They
sat cross legged around the platform
in the dirt. all but the two chosen to
begin. who advanced into the center
with the umpire. They sduatted upon
their feet and bowed to each other
slowly and soIemniy Politeness thus
being fulfilled, they stood up again ana
bent over opposite one another like
two gamecocks, watching intently for
chance to seize an advantage. Dur
ing the prelIminaries the audience was
tense with expectation Then suddenly
the women sprang, kissing at each
other furiously and gnashing their
teeth, at first by Stimulating ferocity to
spur themselves up to greater excite
ment but, after a few clutches, in
deadly feminine earnest, the umpire
meanwhile buzzing close to them as
they swayed around the narrow ring.
''Any and all holds seemed fair means
to the end of pushing combatant over
the edge Sometimes with clean
throw one woman landed her opponent,
sprawling. in the midst of her friends.
This was the signal for the umpire to
begin, 'Hitotsu, futatsu, mitsu, yotsu,
.tsusu' Zone. two, three, four, five), in
a series of irregular and disconnected
squeaks, and before he ceased count
ing another wrestler from the losing
side jumped up to meet the champion,
who stood painting, kissing and splitting
like boiling kettle in the center of the
arena
This time there were no prelimi- |
naries. A wild rush, and like two fu-
res or two beasts the women were
struggling again. Some affected quick |
clutches, some locked their adversaries
in their arms and stood stock still for
a full five minutes. Some picked up
their opponents almost at once and
threw them bodily over the ring, while |
others rolled over with them. 20 Chicago

BIG DAN NEARING COMPLETION.
Great Enterprise Of Upper Iowa Power Com.
pany will Soon be Furnishing
Electric Power to
DEBORAH.

Although we have made good many
trips during the summer to the site of
the power dam of the Upper Iowa
Power Company seven miles down the
river. it had been several weeks since
we had seen it until the other day.
Considering the weather and the OBJ
stacles they have had to contend
with, we were greatly surprised at
the progress made. In fact it may
be said that the great project is
rapidly nearing completion, and pro-
badly within a month will be furnish
ing power and lights to DEBORAH.
The power house has been complet.
ed. and work is being pushed night
and day on the dam proper. which
joins the power house on the east and
extends across the river, being anchor
ed in the solid rock on the other side.
They are now above water. and the
progress will be more rapid. In the
dam proper there are four thousand
tons of concrete, and in the power
house the same amount, eight thous-
and tons, 16, 900, 600 pounds in all.
The dam extends ten feet below water
level, and at its base is 80 feet wide.
There is 725 Yards of concrete in the
dam under water. The power house
extends fourteen feet below the water
level. The dam is 107 feet long, the
power house 40 feet, and the earthen
dam or filling on the west side,
through which concrete wall extends.
is rs feet long, which virtually makes
dam 222 feet in length.
The dam will be thirty feet high,
twenty feet above water level. The
line to DEBORAH is complete, and is
the best construction we ever saw,
and electric lights are now en-
ployed to enable both day and night
shifts to be worked. About 30 men are
employed, and it il estimated that
three weeks will omplete the work.
Three immense flood gates, each five
feet in diameter. have been placed on
the east side of the dam. and will be
closed or opened with steel gates to
let out surplus amount of water in
case of floods. Ample fshways have
been constructed. 1t will indeed be
a pleasure for us TO announce the
completion of this great enterprise,
for it is one in which we have been
greatly interested.

Goddard Stores Being Remodelled.

A thorough rennovating and re-
modelling of the store rooms on the
corner of Water and Washington
streets, leased by Messrs. A. Neish &
Sons, who have purchased the remain
ing portion of the Goddard stock and
leased the building for term of ten
years, has commenced. The plans
contemplate also the Encouragement of
the shelving, and general improve
ment of the ground floor. The rear
room will be fitted up for bargain
basement" similar to that carried by
the big city stores. Here will be
found at all times an assortment of
real bargains in all lines, representing
special purchases at extremely low
prices. The second floor will be fitted
up into strictly modern carpet room,
making one of the finest places for the
display of carpets in northern Iowa.
and the stock will be the largest also.
The Goddard stock is now pretty
well closed out. The remainder will
be sold at very low rates and COM
pletely cleaned out. A full new stock
has been o:dered in all dry goods lines
to replace the old ones, and Mr.. Neish
informs us that he will have one of
the largest and finest selected stocks
of dry goods, carpets. shoes. etc. ever
assembled in this part of the state.
He hopes to get into the store i'm
mediately after the first of the year.
