CARE OF THE SICK ROOM.
Above All Things the Wallis Should
Be Kept Dry.

When the bedroom becomes a sick
room there is an added reason why ex.
IRENE precautions should be used to
keep the room in a thoroughly sanitary
condition.
Above all things, the bedroom should
never be damp. 1t should be nice and
dry, always warm and comfortable in
winter. cool and airy in summer, and
bright and sunny some parts Of the
day.
If there is any suspicion Of damp.
ness in a bedroom it is probably due,
IL there is wallpaper on the wall, to
the absorption of water by the paper
which frequently acts as a blotting pa
per and holds quantities of water in it.
The use of wallpaper on walls is to
be deplored; it means disease, i'll
health and ulhappiness. 1t is fire.
quently the cause of lung trouble, not
only because of its dampness but also
because Of it's power to retain infec.
ton of many kinds.
The desired method of treating a
bedroom wall is to tint it for the ala.
bastined wall is a perfect wall. 1t
never flakes off, chips or peels. 1t alb
serbs moisture and eXpels it, it opens
the pores of the plaster and makes a
room livable and breathable.
The floor in the bedroom should
have light, cleanable, dainty rugs that
can be easily shaken and a floor that
is thoroughly oiled or vanished, that
will not absorb moisture. The cracks
In the floor should be thoroughly filled
and covered. Woodwork in the bed
room should be attended to carefully,
window stills should be thoroughly var
nished or waXed, and the window cas-
ings kept in perfect order. The doors
should be wiped off frequently as also
should be all the standing woodwork
In the bedroom, as the presence of
dust on woodwork is a menace to
health as we'll as an evidence of DOOR
housekeeping.

The Auditorium.
In addition to hearing the above
matchless voices the people of the
Northwest will have an opportunity of
inspecting ST. Paul's new Auditorium.
which was formally opened on Tues
day last by a grand concert and ball at
which the elite of st. Paul's society
were present.
"A little over two years ago st. Paul
decided to build an auditorium. and in
the short space Of sixty days the peo-
pie subscribed a quarter of a million
dollars. The city Their issued bonds
for $4,000 making a total of $500, 900,
and every cent was used in the build
ing. The result Is the largest, hand
soonest, most artistic, most elastic and
useful building of its kind in the world.
Since its conception the general idea
has been copied by at least two other
cities, Denver and Milwaukee, and no
doubt as 1t becomes better known 9th
ers Will follow.
Its Chief Feature.
The feature that distinguishes it
from all other auditoriums. is it's tiexi-
bility as to capacity. There are other
features which would command first
attention had not the architects work

almost wonder, however, whether she

she has since reached.
Operate Debut.
Her operate debut was made at

ner, but she also enjoyed the study of
Wagnerian roles under her direction,
and whereas she has sung lighter
opera, her pre-eminent ~ces have
been In the roles of the great master
Of Bayreuth.
Miss Fremstad also appeared in
"R%heingold," in "Gotterdammerung'
and as n Of the flower girls in Par
sifal." Her luscious voice and consum-
mate grace in these plastic parts stood
out forcibly in the productions.
Rival Of Calve.
After her appearances in Bayreuth
she went to Cologne and sang many
roles in the lighter operas, as also the
parts of Waltraute and Carmen. in
which she made a furore which in Ger
many rivaled Calves. After this. Of
fers came from all the opera houses in
Europe, but Munich captured her. She
played Brangaene, Fdes, Carmen,
Haensel, and other contralto roles, and
after her farewell performance OF
Carmen the students embarrassed the
horses from her carriage. and hanging
it with laurel wreaths, drew her
through the streets. After this came
her successes in London, and the story
of her triumphs in America is too well
known to need rehearsing.

Aberdeen Club Plans Spectacular
Advertising Campalon,

Almost Immediately the Greater
Aberdeen club will begin it's work of
boosting Aberdeen. advertising the re-
sources of the city and surrounding
country and if present plans do not
mlScarry the chances are the neighbour
ing states will hear Of Aberdeen in a
way Which will not let them forget
about 1t, and will leave the Inhabitants
talking of not much else. Former Gov
ernor G. N. Herreid, president of the
club has called a meeting of the execu-
tive committee, and the chairmen Of
tne other committees of the club will
call meetings of their committees with
out delay. The club plans on a rather
spectacular but effective advertising
campaign. The idea is to charter a
special train and tour the neighboring
states with a band, three singers and a
galaxy of good speakers. A press
agent will be taken along and it will
be his duty to get up snappy stuff on
cernlng this section and to see that
1T is printed wherever the party stops.
A fund can easily be raised for this
purpose, and In fact, most Of the
money required is pledged now. The
advertising committee has prepared a
souvenir on Aberdeen and Brown
county which will soon be distributed
broadcast through the country.

REUNITED BY RELIGION.
Two Aberdeen Couples Make Up After
-. ATTENDING Revival Meetincs.

ASS'se l"SSklllSS.
During the revivals which are be-
ing held at Aberdeen these days by
Evangelist R. e. Johnson, some nota-
BILE things have happened. The latest
of these occurrences of note are the
reunltlng OF two families where sepa-
ration had already occurred. and
which We're about to eliminate in the
filing of suits for divorce. One of
these reunions occurred in the audito-
rum, where the meetings are being
held. and happened right after a DOW
erful sermon by the evangelist and
his call for volunteers for Christ. A
man was seen to start up near the
rear of the audience and proceed to
the front. AS he reached a point
about half way down the aisle, a
woman leading a little girl came out
of one Of the rows and faced the
front. as though about to go forward.
AS she did so, she noticed the man,
and both stopped. The man grabbed
the little girl and kissed her. Then.
placing the child on the floor. he held
out his arms to the woman. who
rushed into them. They embraced
sobblng for a few moments, and then
went forward together. They told
Evangelist johnson that they could
never thank him enough for pointing
to them the right way and bringing
them together again. Another re-
union happened in private as a result
OF the %revivals, and two married peo-
pie thus united have determined to
work for God and lay aside the petty
differences which made their formr
marriage life a failure.

New Principal Elected

At meeting of the School Board
last Friday, Mr.. G. NJ. Farmer
was elected Principal of the Berry
vile High School, to succeed Prof.
II. ID. Wolff.
We are informed that Mr..
Farmer has been principal of
Smithfeld College, near Norfolk.
for several years; that he has had

Virginia; that he is graduate of
Milligan College, Tennessee: that
he is now attending the summer

ginia; chat he was selected by the

pllcants for the position; that his

An Explanation.

Our recent statement that is was
rumored" that Mr.. j. f. Barnett
would not be candidate for re-
election TO the Supervisorship from
Battletown district was based upon
what we believed was good au-
thority.
In last weeks COURIER Mr..
Barnett said in a signed card that
he had not authorized anyone to
say that he would not be a candi-
date.
We are therefore led TO the belief
that our "rumor" was incorrect.
If MIR. Barnett has taken any
offense at our statement of the
rumor, we hope this article will
be accepted as full explanation.
We are not supersensitive about
criticism, but we are always able
and willing to correct any state
ment which we make that is not
abundantly verified by facts.
Mr.. Barnett's statement seems
to be conclusive that he will be a
candidate; and the ''rumor" which
had come to our ears seems to have
been erroneous.
