Here is the open season for
buckwheat cakes almost upon us
and butter approaching the 80 cent
mark. The pure food law has sent
off maple syrup; oleomargerine does
not smell good when applied to the
warm surface of the cakes, and
axle grease is too gritty to be used.
The University of Wisconsin is
starting a course on how to make
home happy, but 1t should side step
on that and get up a recipe for
buckwheat cakes that will make
them taste good without the usual
trimmings
The Scientific American gives 8
receipt the whole world ought to
know. At the first Indication Of
diphtherla in the throat of a child
make the room close, take a tea cup
and put INTO It a quantity of tar and
turpentine, equal parts The pa
Htient on inhaling the fumes will
cough up and spit out the mem
braueous matter and the diphtheria
will pass out. The fumes Of tar and
turp6ntine Ioosens the matter in the
throat and thus affords the relief
that has baf1ed the skill of physi-
clans.
&C. ". Knapp returned to Ian
caster last Friday from Hale Center

that country and expects to return

ranch land in the vicinity Of Hale

The property owners Of the
state have suffered q loss during the
last sixty days Of $42,512 due to
poor construction or improper care
of fues and stovepipes. These
startling figures are shown by the
records in the fire marshal's office.
Out of go reports received in this
time sixty three or an average of
over one a day have originated from
this source. These figures result
ing from the beginning Of cold
weather viii give some idea Of the
enormous loss that may be expected
before the coming Of warm weather
unless precautions are taken at
once, which, while not entirely re-
moving the danger, would certainly
result in a very large reduction IN
loss.
