A. N. Koontz, who lives two

Monday with 70 pounds of honey.
He is another "bee" man, having
30 or 40 hives. Ha likes to work
with the little critters and gathers
IN hundreds Of pounds of sweet

cents. There is money in bees
for him who will take the time and
trouble to handle them. Mr..
Koontz says he, too, has had no
little trouble in swarming this
summer.

Saturday Messrs W. B. Meares
and ]. W. Fitzgerald Of the Jersey
section, were IN town, and both
reported that wheat-threshing in
the Jersey as just having begun.
About 1900 bushels had been
threshed on the famous Holt farm,
with some 20 acres left to handle.
Corn in the river bottoms will
have to be replanted largely, Mr..
Meares said, and people are SOW
ing peas wherever they can to take
the pace of crops that cannot be
replaced.
One of the most terrific electric
storms that has visited this place
III som time came up Wednesday
evening aud for some hours rag d
with such fury that more than
one person was badly frightened.
The lightning struck several
places, got on the wires, burned
out the biggest dynamo in the
town plant, number of meters,
electric lights world without end,
etc. The damage is not consider
able. Mr.. Couch, the new super
intendent, began work the next
morning and the first thing he
event up against was the dam

TRAGEDY IN DAVIE.
Farmer Killed Outright and Son MotaIy
Wounded by an Explosion.

A. A . Potts, aged As, was killed
and his N, George Potts, aged
about 81, was mortally wounded
by the explosion of boiler of an
engine while operating thresh-
ing machine on the G.. A. Allison
place, one-half mile from Advance,
Davie County, at s 80 o'clock this
me rning
A telephone message to the
Sentinel from Advance says the
explosion was heard for several
miles.
A. A. Potts was struck by pieces
of the boiler and knocked several
feet. He was badly bruised and
was dead when picked up.
The son was fearfully scalded
and bruised and the attending
physician says there is practically
no hope for his recovery.
The threshing machine outfit is
owned by ex-sheriff W. A. Bailey,
who resides near Advance. He
had Mr.. Potts and his son en-
ployed to aid in operating the ma
chine.
Allowing water to get too low
in the boiler is given as the cause
Of the explosion.
A. A. Potts is survived by a
widow and several children. He
was and industrious farmer, one
who was held in the highest es-
TEEN by all who knew him.
A gentleman who came from
Advance this morning reports that
the dome of the boiler was blown
about two hundred yards; also
that the top part of the skull of
A. A. Potts was blown off. A
piece of his shirt sleeve was blown
away with the dome. The son
was uncons cious and all efforts to
revive him were unavailing.-

ing them. One is cheese tomatoes. For
this make some round pieces of toast
and cut some slices of tomato of equal
size; lay one piece of tomato on each
round of toast, sprinkle with very lit
tie minced onion, more green pepper,
salt, a dash of cayenne, and thick
layer of grated American cheese.
Put all into a shallow pan and set
under the gas broiler until the cheese
melts and is Drowned, and the tomato
is cooked. Then serve at once on a hot
dish.
Children who come to the table are
supposed to have left the bib age. and
being grown up should learn to use
napkins, as their elders do, placing
them in their laps.
If sufficient care is taken, children
learn at an early age to eat tidily, and
parents should insist that they take
only a small amount of food on the
fork at a time, masticate it slowly, and
swallow the mouthful before consider
ing another bite.
Try baking a pie shell and filling it
with apple sauce covered with whipped

Dip a slice of ice cream in melted

This is the season of the year to gain

little use of careful scrubhing If a half
soiled towel is used for drying.
A kin-whitening preparation that
can easily be made at home is in the
proportion of two tablespoonfuls of oat-
meal, half tablespoonful of powdered
boraN and a half pint of rose water. Let
the mixture stand three days, strain
and add half an ounce of alcohol The
addition of the alcohol prevents the
souring which is the drawback to SO
many oatmeal preparations. If pre-
ferred, instead of using all oatmeal, 1t
can be mixed with half its bulk of al
mond meal. Either of these washers
makes the skin feel soft and smooth II

The sudden deluge on the food in the
stomach chills it and prevents the di-
gestive juices from acting freely, thus
letting the food lie passive and causing
indigestion.
Before going to bed the corners of
the eyes should be massaged to help
keep away crows feet. For this the
forefinger should be dipped in cream
and rubbed in rotary motion about the
eye corners, making the upward stroke
harder than the downward. A little
prevention such as this obviates a later
cure
Altho housekeeping is the most con-
servatiye of all trades or professions,
whichever you please to call 1t,
change and improvement has come in
laundry methods. The hard and fast
rule of having it done on Monday, rain
or shine. in sickness or health, is now
observed less and less.
Once upon time housewives went to
bed early on Sunday evening, that they
might rise even before the birds to do
the family washing. 1t was not uncom-
mon, according to the memory of some
women, to rise as early as 3 O'Clock in
order that by breakfast hour the family
linen might be hung to dry. This was
often done without a taste of food to
give the worker strength for her task.
The reward for this exertion was the
satisfaction of being among the first to
have her washing out, and such an
accomplishment added to ones reputa-
ton as a houSekeeper.
1t is mystery how these women
lived thru such hard work and un-
seaSonable hours, and a yet greater
wonder why they ever did such piece
of foolishness. There were six days
in the week then as now, and if tradi-
ton be true some of their early Mon
day morning hustle was followed by
hours later in the day that did not
count for much in work. The reason
why this custom existed SO long may
be explained by the desire to get the
clothing worn the previous week into
fresh condition again as soon as pos
sible.
The modern housekeeper takes Mon
day for picking up and preparing for
Tuesday. This day is often the time
for having little company or to make
calls, or do any of the leftover things
that one is trying to get time for. Even
