sugar. damp flour and doubtful eggs.
Because either the butter is in

Because the mixture is beaten after

Ger slate and pencil in her chair;
A little FUCKER on her brow,
A little tousle in her hair.

The crooked figures grin and flount
My heart goes reaching to her there

So wheat must be cooked as We
cook it. The process of SO hours
is essential.
All faxed foods would BE pre-
pared in our way if the process
was not so costly.
Then we cook our wheat in pure
maple syrup. That is also expen-

Children like maple better than
anything else that is good for

this food.
So do you. For Mapl-F1ake Is.

Late Saturday night the town
of Three Lakes was shook up by
terrific explosion; which occurred
in F. S. Campbell's store, which
took fire and was entirely con-
sumed as was Mrs. McNinches'
millinery store and the McNinche
livery stable. Campbell's store
was a large two story brick build
ing, the lower floor was used as a
general store while the upper
floor was used for living rooms
and were occupied by several fam
lilies, who escaped with few min
or injuries. Campbell lost all his
books and accounts; his loss was
over $4,000 with a small insur-
ance. 1t is not likely that he will
rebuild. At first it was thought
that the building was blown up
with dynamite but on investiga-
ton of the debris, the safe was
found blown open as if nitro ely
cerine was used. All the movable
property in the livery stable and
millinery store was saved.

BASE BALL.

A large crowd witnessed the
strife between the Rhinelander and
local High school mines. The
game was a warm contest from
start to finish and the result was
in doubt until the last man was
out. The home team made two
pretty double plays at the right
time or the score might have been
different, but as it was che score
stood 6 to $ in Eagle Rivers fav-
or. Kuehne struck out ten men,
while the Rhlnelander pitcher
moved down eight. 1t was nice
clean gentlemanly game all thru.
