As the season progresses at Ocean

the constitution of this body was sched-
uled to be held by Saturday night at
the latest, was held and adjourned I'M
til W ednesday evening next, the ad :
tournament being caused by the absence
of the president, Rev. Lewis G. Wilson.
The usual weekly dance was held
Friday evening instead of Saturday

shores. One party, who visited Pun
kin Rock" an island few miles off

pairing a performance to be given at
the Casino, August q. Freeman II.

the members of the chorus, reports
an abundance of talent, some of the
persons here having fine voices.

amusement here this summer. Satur-

played between Fred Thompson and his
partner from Augusta and Harry
HaWes of Springfield with Everett Will
son of 1Opedale, Mass. The score be-
ing 40, IS, 11-9 in favor of Halves and

Care of the REFRIGERATOR.

Nothing is so dangerous to the health
of the household as a refrigerator that
is not perfectly clean.
In the first place, the waste pipe
should not he connected with the drain.
1t is more trouble to empty a pan once
or twice a day, but to have the food
supply connected with the house drain
is certainly undesirable.
The refrigerator should be washed
out at least once a week, and twice in
hot weather, with strong ammonia wa
ter. The shelves should be taken out
quickly and washed, too. Rinse in
clean, warm water nd wipe dry. This
is important, as one of the properties
Of the perfect refrigerator is dryness,
which helps to preserve the food.
Every morning take out the food left
from the day before and examine it. If
it is the least bit tainted it should be
thrown away at once.
Charcoal or a lump of dry lime
should be kept in the food box. They
absorb impurities and act as a disinfec-
tant.
Milk and butter should always be
kept in a covered crock, or otherwise
protected They are extremely perish
abb and easily absorb the odors of other
foods.

London, Aug. 16.-.In the House of
Commons Prime Minister Asduith

consideration the matter of making a
grant to Lieutenant Edward II. Shack

Professor Boermel rests in a massive
bowl, and has a rocking foundation
with a curved bottom surface of some
what less radius than that of the bowl.
A half-spherical pivot fits into a cup
bearing at the center. At eight points
near the outside of the bowl are spring
buffers. which keep the house or other
building from being canted too freely
and lessen the force of any shocks
transmitted. The structure on this
foundation is to have a light steel
framework, and is expected to resist

From figures on file at the office of
the insurance commissioner is it
learned that the total fire loss in the
State of Maine for the past seven
months, from fires where the loss ag-
gregated $4,000 or over, was 1,2OS, 900,
while for the corresponding period of
the year 1908 it was 1897, 900,
showing by comparison decrease
during the past seven months amount
ing to $4,000.
The total number of fires in the
State during the month of July, based
on the above standard, was seven,
with an aggregate loss of $245,000,
while during the same month of the year
1908 there were four fires with an ag-
gregate loss of $4,000, showing an in
crease in the fire loss of the State
during the past month which amounts
to S1S5,009.
With the exception of the fire loss
of January. which amounts to $4,000,
and that of June which amounts to
S420,O00, the loss during the month of
July is the heaviest of the seven
months.
According to the figures given in The
Standard the total fire loss of the
United States for the month of July,
reckoned on the $4,000 basis, was $13-
$4,000, while for the corresponding
month of the year 1908 it was $13,-
46l,oOo, which shows an increase of
$4,000 for the past month. The total
fire loss of the United States for the
past seven months was $103 15S, 900
while for the same period in 1908 it was
Sill, $4,000, and in 1907 it was SILL
$4,000, from which it will be seen that
there has been steady increase i'll
the amount of loss during that time
The table given below shows the
number and amount of fire losses of
$4,000 and over which have occurred
in Maine during the past seven months
during the years 1905 and 1909, and also
