SOME SUGGESTIONS
FOR THE SICK ROOM
Indiana Couch Cure.

MAI ivy
To 5 cents worth of whole fiaxseed
add three pints OF water. Boil Is or 20
minutes, strain, and add Juice Of three
lemons, one-half pound Of rock candy,
n one ounce glycerine. Take wine
glass OF this three or our times a day
and before retiring. 1t will cure the
worst cough in two days.
A Handy Necessity Box"
Have a box in a convenient place,
and keep these things in it; 10 cents
worth Of iodoform, 10 cents worth OF
adhesive plaster, 10 cents worth Of car
bolic acid. some sterilized gauze and
surgeons cotton.
Cooling the Sick Room.
In the COO OF the morning cut small
branches from a tree, preferably maple.
F'asten over screens at open windows
and sprinkle with cold water with a
whisk broom, repeating often during
the day. The air, coming through the
wet leaves, becomes cooled. This is a
fine thing when there are no trees near
the house.
Light for Sick Room.
In the country and small towns,
where gas and electric lights are not to
be found, hang a lantern from a hook
screwed into the bottom OF an upper
sash on the outside. The light in the
room may be regulated by raising or
lowering the shade. This obviates the
heat and odor produced by a kerosene
lamp in a room.
Speedy Relief for Corns.
Chew good, fresh gum until flavor is
gone. While warm from the mouth bind
on corn. This removes the intamma-
ton and causes the corn TO peel off
gradually, giving relief.
Good for Cuts.
For a slight cut there is nothing bet
ter to control the hemorrhage than
common ~unglazed paper such as is used
by grocers and market men. Bind a
piece on the cut.
Camphor Cures Colds.
Take gum camphor and dissolve in
Kerosene, having enough 80 there is al
ways a little camphor undissoved in
the bottom OF the bottle. Rub the lame
parts thoroughly and often with this
and you will have relief. Do not band
age IL on as Ii will blister il used that
way. This is also an excellent remedy
for cold in the throat or lungs. Rub 1t
In well.

4 CARE OF IRONS.

The woman who Is going away for
q short time In the summer, or who
Is not having the laundry done in the
house, should be careful that her flat
irons are not allowed to rust-
When she needs them she may not
realize how rusty they are until she
finds out that they do not keep enough
heat In them to do but a few sec
ond's work.
a quick days work unless the entire
surface is again carefully worked up
to a smooth polish.
The damp weather of the end Of the
summer is quite aot to rust any metal
that is left unprotected. Irons should
be well wrapped in newspaper and then
put away in q dry spot.

At the Players clup in New York A
prompter said OF the late Peter
Daley:
He had the sunniest, cheeriest dis
position. Once l toured with him. The
accommodations were sometimes rath-
er rough, and on such occasions the
true gold i'm the man showed forth.
in a little southern town the
dressing rooms were awful. Everybody
swore and ragged, but Daley restored
them to good humor. Said he:
why, this Is nothing TO what [

NJ alter DoIoyosa,

Because of one dear infant head
With golden hair,
To me all little heads
A halo wear.
And for n sanity face
All babes are fair.
Because of two wide, earnest eyes
OF heavenly blue,
Which look, with yearning gaze.
My sad soul, through.
All eyes now fill mine own with tears
Whate'er their hue.
Because of little death-marked lips
Which once did call
My name in p~laintive tones.
No voices fall
Upon my ear in vain appeal
From children small
Two little hands held in my own
Long, long ago.
Now cause me as I wander thro'
This world of woe
To clasp each baby hand stretched out
In fear of foe.
The lowest cannot plead IN vain
l loved him so.

TO LIVE TO OLD
AGE, BE A WRITER

49,
Paris.-According to a writer in the
Partisan daily paper. Figaro. the writ
er's profession Is one which leads to
longevity. The writer's of novels, sto-
ries, verses and plays, says the author
usually live longer than those who
practice other professions.
The paper gives as an instance the
fact that the Society des Gems des Let
ters has among its members men who
are so old that their names have been
forgotten already by the reading pub
Tic in spite Of the fact that they were
famous writer's in their younger days.
Among these members are Francois
F~ertinault. who is over 95 years OF age,
Felix Bordac, another member. was
born In 1920. Jules Bheynat was born
In 1921, as was his friend. Ernest Re-
dourier. There are four members who
were born in 1924. Many members were
born In 1890.
From these the Partisan paper con-
cludes that writer's live long and II ad-
vfses all those who desire to have a
long life to become writer's.

supply is not regular. Mr.. M. Mich
els, in charge of the scoring CXhibi-
lions, has u.t"eu years of experience
in owning and operating combined
butter and cheese factories, and sets
forth the advantages and disadvan-
tages of such combined factories, as
follows. The advantages include the
fact that either butter or cheese can
be made, to suit patrons; large pat
ronage may be gained; winter dairy
ing is encouraged; others do not gain
ground in the same territory so read
lily; and patrons raise better aud more
young stock than when only cheese is
made in the factory Among the dis
advantages are the high cost of build
ing and equipment; the extra cost of
ice and supplies to be kept on hand;
the additional help required; difficulty
of finding a maker with experience in
the manufacture of both; and the diff
of marketing both butter and cheese
at the best advantage. lie has found
the more profitable method to be to
make cheese in summer and butter in
the other three seasons.

AID IN BRIDGE BUILDING
Offered by the Highway Division
of the Wisconsin Geological
and Natural History


The Geological Survey, feeling that
there has been lack of skillful plan
ming and supervision in the construc-
ton of the bridges of the state, result
ing in a large number of poor weak
bridges and bridges of excessive cost,
offers to aid in the planning of
bridges erected this year.
The survey will, on request from
the proper officials, send an engineer
to inspect the bridge site, and deter
mine on the span and the character of
bridge and foundations. From this
information plans and specifications
will be prepared for bridge of the
proper character and strength, and an
estimate of the proper cost furnished
The bridge can then be advertised
| and lot with the assurance that good
bridge will be erected at a reasonable
cost. Plans furnished by bridge com
!panies will be checked on request
when there is not sufficient time to use
the method outlined above.
All of this assistance is absolutely
free to towns and villages aud there
seems to be no valid reason why
bridge officials should not avail them
selves of it.
The calls on the Highway Division
are coming in daily and if this coun-
ty has any bridges to build this year
it would be we'll for the town boards
to apply mediately in order that
the application may get on file in time
! for work this summer.
