WHEN FIRE BREAKS OUT.
Keep Cool and RENE n,ber and Follow
These instructions.

In case of fire. if the burning
articles are at once splashcd ahd
SPRAYED with !; solution of salt and
nitrate of ammonia an iucomLUsi.ic
coating is formed. This is a prepara-
ton which can be made at home at
trifling cost and Shond be kept on
hand. Dissolre twenty pounds of com
mon salt and ten pounds of nitrate Of
ammonia in seven gallons of water.
Pour this into quart bottles of thin
glass and fire grenades are at hand
ready for use These bottles must be
tightly corked and sealed to prevent
evaporation, and in case of fire they
must be thrown near the flames, so as
to break and liherate the gas con
tanned At least two dozen of these
bottles should be ready for an emer
gency.
In this connection it Is well to re-
member that water on burning oil scat
tiers the flames, but that -four will ex
tinguish it, Salt thrown upon a fire
if the chimney is burning will help to
deaden the blaze If a fire once gets
under Roadway and prompt exit be-
comes necessity. silk handk erchief
dipped in water and wrapped about
the mouth and nostrils will prevent
suffocation from smoke; failing this. q
piece of wet flannel will answer.
Should smoke fill the room, recall
your physics-remember that smoke
goes first to the top of the room and
last to the floor. Wrap a blanket or
wooden garment about YOU, with the
wet cloth over your face, drop on your
hands and knees and crawl to the win

SQUARE DEAL AND RATES.

The proposition to advance rail-
road rates aroused much discussion
and led the Iron Trade Review to say
that much can be argued in favor of
the plan since the condition of the
roads as to receipts and eXpendi-
lures is deplorable. Nevertheless the
Review continues:
1t is true that there is wide
spread feeling among all business
men that many railroads have re-
sorted to reprehensible practices
and do not come before the people
with clean hands when they plead to
be permitted to increase freight
rates. Some railroads have been
honestly conducted, and some rates
ought to be increased, especially
those relating to freight which must
be shipped by fast lines in almost
as short time as passenger schedule,
but we do not believe that all rail-
roads are entitled to like considera-
ton or that there is any justification
for a general and sweeping advance
in freight charges. Let there be the
most searching investigation to de-
termine what the actual facts are
in every case. and then all fair
minded Americans will cheerfully
acquiesce in the result.
When the public comes convinc-
ed that higher charges are neces-
ssary and that there will be no spec
of the funds there should be no OPP
position to reasonable advances in
rates

YOUR OWN FACE.
Do You Think You Would Recognize
II on Another Person?

How strange it is" said the philoso-
pner, 'that the person for whom you
care most on earth. the one you see
oftenest and who receives your most
constant attention is the one whose
'countenance is least familiar to you"
''Who is that?" asked the visitor
Yourself" said the philosopher. 1T
is fact that If people could be dupli-
Gated and could meet themselves in the
street very few would recognize them
selves. We look at ourselves many
times during the 800 days of the year.
We say our eyes are blue or whatever
color they may be, our hair brown, our
chin peaked. our forehead high We
know every lineament of our face from
constant study and attention yet when
we turn away from the mirror we can
not coniuye up a picture of ourselves.
We know just how our friends and
even acquaintances look. In fancy we
can see them sitting so or standing so
and their varying expression under diff
ferent circumstances IS clear to US.
even though We have not seen them
selves we cannot even fill in the out
line Of the picture We may laugh, we
may cry we may frown. but we do
not know how we look while we are
doing it. Photographs do not help us.
We have never seen ourselves In the
flesh. Mirrors and pictures are poor
aids when we sit down and try to see
ourselves with the minds eye. That
is why people are so deeply interested
In anybody who Is said to resemble
them. Just say tc 4 man, know
somebody who looks for all the world
like you,' and he will never rest until
he sees that person. Then if the like
ness is really true he will own that up
to that time he had no conception Of
how he really looked"
The visitor smiled wanly. 81 wish
you wouldn't talk like that" she said

Strictly Fresh Eggs.

There are summer resorts, remote
from any agricultural communities
where fresh farm products are even
harder to obtain than In the city. Ii
was at such a place that the new
boarder, who had eaten four or five
breakfasts there. began to wonder why
the eggs were invariably served fried.
"See here" he inquired one morning
Of the genial colored man who waited
upon him. why do you always fry
eggs here? Don't you ever boil them?
''Oh. oh, yes, sah!' responded the
waiter pleasantly. "Of co'se yo' kin

that there is no denying the fact
that one of the best friends a town
has is the cheerful booster who

peoples money to town is also a

man who brings other money to
town and also spends his own mon

NOT A HORSELESS COUNTRY

The notion that this country is
entering upon a horseless age gets
black eye from the report of the
government census takers, which
shows that we have more horses
than ever before by several hundred
housand-3. 900, 900 more than in
1900. With the increased use of
self propelling carriages, wagons and
machines on farms and highways it
would seem that diminished de-
mand for draft animals is inevitable
and that such would not be raised
or If raised exported to lands where
they are wanted.
But this is a big country. Our de
Nelopment is rapid. Horses are now
wanted where mules and oxen were
once used and also where there have
been neither mules nor oxen, not
even human inhabitants. Every new
farm opened up means work for a
horse or two extra. More people can
afford pleasure horses, and, while
you think of it, there is horse SEN
timent enough in the country to see
to it that the kind shall not be driven
off the course horse for every
four persons is what the government
figures show. That means 10000
600 horses. In the big cities there is
only one horse to every forty peo-
pie. But the farmer with four or
five in the family will keep two or
three horses. That is where the hors-
es are growing in number in spite
of the machine rival and also grow
ing in importance. The country"
is big place in these United States.
