Van Amburg.

Van Amburgs Show was in Louisa
last Saturday and gave an exhlNi-
tlon far above the average
in quantity and quality. The
display of animals was very
good, and the ring performances
brought out some exceedingly good
things in varied lines. The acts
of the Japs and the slack wire per
torrance were by far the best ever
seen in Louisa. The band is large
ard excellent.
shortly after the door opened for
the afternoon performance the rain
poured in torrents, and at night il
5togmed again. But this was only
to be expected on circus day.

tie kitchen and stairway had al
ready been consumed and they hare
" had time to escape through 4
window opening over a porch. Thdr
three little girls were sleeping in
the room with them. These all Is
capped through the window.
The entrance TO the room where
the three boys were sleeping was eut
off and by the time Mr.. Short reach
ed the ground he could hear the fran
tic cries of the little fellows, one Of
whom was four years old, another
eight, and the third older. While
Mr.. Short was trying TO climb to a
window the oldest boy was breaking
out the glass and trying TO save,
his little brothers. whose cries bJ
thio time were heart-rending. Tie

him in the face, adding confusion 10
his already dazed condition, and
causing him TO drop his brother. Tue

SOME HINTS ON
KEEPING COOL

With the sudden coming of the warm
weather the grown people as well as
the children are bound to suffer.
Those who are obliged to be on their
feet a great part of the day suffer In
tensely from swollen, tired feet. The
easiest way to remedy the evil Is to
battle the feet well every night I'm warm
water In which little baking soda has
been dissolved.
II you can possibly manage it,
change your stockings every day and
do not wear the same pair of shoes
two days running. Stockings that are
only worn one day do not require much
laundering; it is sufficient to wiring
them out of boiling water.
Tighten your clothing as much as
possible and take as many baths as
you can. If you are worn out after
a long, hot day. a bath, tepid at first
and gradually increased to cold, will
give you a cool, comfortable night.
A little alcohol In your bath is very
refreshing. Talcum powder is cheap
and cooling.
II is a good thing to tighten your
diet In the hot weather Eat meat but
once a day and then sparingly. Avoid
blood-heating cereals choosing the
ones that are lightest
Oatmeal that has been boiled three
or four hours and then allowed to jelly
is delicious with cream. and drink
milk instead of boiling hot tea and
coffee.
Be sure to drink great deal of wa
ter. nothing is so important as that In
hot weather, But is liz equally lnpor-
tant that the water should not be icy
cold. To drink icewator when the body
Is overheated IL almost suicidal.
Cold tea Is a delicious summer drink.
