Marshall News Messenger: Some
where about last midnight John
Anderson got a tumble that may
end his earthly career. He was
under the influence of liquor. and
coming out Of room in the second
story of the building next the Hage-
meister saloon walked off the landing
and fell on Instructions that tore off
his right ear. broke his collar bone,
and evidently fractured the base of
his skull. DIR. Akester was sum-
moned, dressed the ear and set the
collar bone, and this morning the
man was taken to the Mills hospital
for further treatment. He may re-
cover but the chances appear against
him. Anderson is mason by trade,
and good man when sober, but the
liquor traffic is too much of temp
tation for him. He will now be a
county charge, under heavy expense
to the tax payers. and yet the argu-
rnent will be continued that the
farmer taxpayer in the country has
no business to vote on the question
of saloons in town.
Moths are a serious menace to
furs, feathers and wooden goods
during May, June, July, August and
September. The chronological di-
vision of the state department of
agriculture advises shaking or brush
ing articles of clothing on which
eggs. visible with the naked eye,
are found and then storing them
in air tight receptacles. When care
fully packed in such receptacles put
few ounces of carbon bisulphide
into saucer-shaped dish and set it
on top of the goods. closing the cover
tightly. Don't open for several days.
In week or ten days later second
Immigration may take place. The
carbon bisulphide vapor is fatal to
insect life, but as its effect on the
eggs is not quite so certain two or
three such fumigations during the
summer are advised. The carbon
hisulphide vapor is heavier that air,
will penetrate everything in the box,
and is not injurious to the garments.
It is explosive and no artificial light
or matches should be used near it.
It may be purchased of druggists in
pint cans.
