Forest Fires IN Wisconsin
Render 1000 Homeless.
Men, Women and Children Are
Forced 10 Flee for Lives.
Other Towns are Threatened
Hundreds are Fighting Flames.

Rhinelander, Wis. Sept. 21.-Gagen
and WoOdboro were destroyed by for
est fires yesterday and as a result
nearly 1000 persons are homeless. The
residents made a valiant but vain fight
for the preservation Of their homes
and at last were forced to flee for their
lives. Women carrying children in
their arms and men and boys with
packs on their backs ran toward
Rhinelander, many falling PROSTATE IN
the heat only to be helped on by the
stronger refugees.
Nearly all of those burned out at
Gagen reached Rhinelander last night
and are cared for. But few of the
WoodDoro people are here and 1t Is
not known what has become of all OF
them.

A little vinegar in polish will be
found to obviate the dead, oily look

Palms and rubber plants will have
glossy leaves all winter If the dust Is
wiped off them each day with damp
rag or sponge.
Curtain and portiere poles allow
the hangings to slip easily If rubbed
with hard soap. This is much better
than greasing.
A little rich sweet cream spread
over the top crust of pie just before
1t is put into the oven will make 1t
brown and flaky.
All articles that are heavy or that
are wanted to be very stiff or where
very hot iron can be used are better
starched with cold water starch.
Brass or copper may be easily
cleaned by rubbing with wet, soapy
rag dipped in powdered bath brick.
Polish afterward with soft dry cloth
or newspaper.
A bottle of vinegar and water, half

will be found useful to prevent crack
ed hands after washing, starching
and dish washing.
When boiling bacon or ham add a

People who use the eyes much in

When roasting meat II there Is dan

a basin of water in the oven. The

An eminent London physician said

An agate iron dinner pot with q
