MUSKOCEE IS VISITED
BY DESTRUCTIVE FIRE

Muskogee, Okla, Jan. 13-Damage
amounting to s25O,oOo was done by fire
that broke out here this morning in
the Saratoga restaurant, in Third
street, and spread to the Carolina and
German buildings and other buildings
in the block bounded by Third, Broad
way, Okmulgee and Fourth streets in
the business district. Several room
ers had narrow escapes, but it is be-
lieved no lives were lost. Inadequate
water pressure made the fire de-
partment practically helpless and the
fire burned itself out after DESTROYING
almost an entire square.

The old saying about the ounce oil
prevention" applies more than forcibly
to the everyday hurts, the small in,
juries which we are prone to neg
lect. One engaged about the kitchen
is cut, perhaps, OF slightly scratched
with sharp utensil. She binds it
with a cloth, soiled one, maybe, and
forgets it. But often this careless
treatment is worse than none, for the
cloth introduces germs which the air
cannot reach with its healing power,
and often from the most insignificant
scratches, blood-poisoning results
This is not the cry of an alarmist
but a warning against carelessness,
For cleanliness slight care taken In
time prevents much after trouble.
The scheme is simple; keep bot.
tie containing weak solution of car
bolic acid (any druggist will give you
ten cents worth of 10 per cent solu
ton and this will last long time).
Wash the wound and apply clean
cloth FIRST saturated in hot water and
then soaked In the solution). Bind
the cut, cover with dry cloth, and
the chances are that it will quickly
heal. Nature will do the work. but
she must not be interfered with by
any germs permitted to enter through
e lack of care and cleanliness.

The Useful Pineapple.

The discovery of the pineapple as
fruit was coincident with the explora-
ton of South America by the Span
iards. AS early as the 18th century
it was cultivated In England and Hoi-
land. 1t is grown now, either in glass
houses or in the open of nearly all
nations.
Pineapple contains an active diges-
tive principle called "Ananasine," and
there is an excellent medicine pre-
pared from 1t.
Sliced pineapple should contain not
one bit of the peel. 1t should soak in
sugar, after being sliced and the eyes
removed, for IL hours-in the refrig-
orator If possible.
Pineapple added 20 other fruits,

The Earring of Jinx
BY Judd Mortimer Lewis.

Jinx had never been at a meeting
of the club since he was married, but
this was the night of the annual cleo
Jinx, a big dub was trying to be elect
ed to the presidents chair who was
no way fitted for the position, and he
considered it duty that he owed his
old associates to be present and lend
his influence and his vote toward the
election of a better man.
At the club that night there was a
considerable uncorking of oratory pre-
ceding the casting of the ballot.
Jinx' man was defeated, but it was
only 9:35 when the election was con-
cluded and as a sort of consolation
for his disappointment he permitted
himself to be inveigled into little
round of roodles before going home.
So when he finally used his latch-key
on the front door it was going on one
o'clock and he was nervous and con-
science stricken, which means the
same as being ashamed of ones self,
and he thought he would creep to her
bedside and would kiss her uncon-
scious cheek and promise not to do 1t
again. AS Jinx tiptoed into the room
he discovered her seated upon the up
holstered shoe-box with the family
Bible on her knees and tears on her
cheeks.
We'll, you see, Happy" began he
as his eyes followed her eyes to the
clock, Il just got to playing roodles
after the election and did not notice
the flight of time"
1T was more interesting than the
thought of your poor frightened little
wife at home here all alone, sup

"Oh, dearest, were you frightened.

yes, l am, too! And l guess yol

Men don't get frightened; but i

An English Housewives Comments on
American Cookery

One thing l notice as very strange
in your country, and that is that you
do not know how to cut bread. I
wonder if it is the fault of the knives?
The bread is too thick or too thin,
and the edges are jagged, and the
crust broken.
The English table is so limited COM
pared with yours. Why, do you real
ize how the English housekeeper must
devise ways and means to make the
same fruits and vegetables do service
the year round? Oranges, bananas
and pines" and then bananas, pines
and oranges-furnish the only fruit.
No watermelons, few peaches, and
those at sixpence apiece, nothing to
break the monotony. Thus it is that
the English menus read so elaborate
ly; they are obliged to make frequent
changes in service, and elaborate
sauces and all sorts of fancy dress
ings and furnishings to vary the mo-
notony. The chef must furnish the
variety which is denied by nature to
the hampered housewives of the tight
little island"

Open Letter to Female Book Agents
BY Charles BatteII LOOMS.

My Dear Young Woman: If you are
contemplating selling books from
house to house in order to make
enough money to buy for yourself a
sealskin coat do not waste any time
with the lady of the house."
B II you ask to see her this is what
will happen:
Il would like to show you"
Il was not born in Missouri, myself,
and do not need to be shown"
But l think l might interest you
in"
Il am very much interested in a
dressmaker upstairs, so I'll have to
ask you to excuse me-"
Certainly I'll excuse you, but If
you'll just look at our great offer"
II have no time to read books and
no money to buy them. You are simply
wasting my time and your own by
talking to me-"
My dear young woman-light out!
If you talked till doomsday you
would never sell your book to the
mistress. Find out when the 'the
master" is at home. See him alone if
you can.
He is as faithful husband as ever
took his wife to the theater, but he
does like pretty faces, and yours ap-
peals to him. He feels sorry that you
have to work at so distasteful an &C.
cupation as selling books, and while
he has not the remotest idea of buy
ing anything, as he has not yet fin
ished paying for the piano, he asks
you in. 1t is cold morning, and
a minute or two in an overheated
house won't do you any harm.
Il would like to show you a little
work that we are putting out"

Every father starts out in life to

Not too much, for that will bring on

But not too little. for that is as bad,
