TO TEACH LOW COST OF LIVING
Minneapolis Instructions Include Use
Of Butterine, Milk, Gravy, Rabbits.

Minneapolis, Mimi, Dec. 16,-Be-
cause of the high price Of butter and
eggs, the work of teaching economy
in the district schools was begun yes
terday in order that domestic science
pupils not only may learn for them
selves what substitutes may be used,
but that all Minneapolitans may
know of it through knowledge that
the pupils take home. Lila P. Erich
supervisor of domestic science di-
rected yesterday thai substitutes for
butter be used wherever possible in
the cooking classes.
Among the rules of economy laid
down are the following:
Use butterine instead of butter for
cooking, and substitute milk in some
cases.
Use meat gravy instead of butter
on bread.
Use the frying pan less and boil
and roast more meat.
Make hamburger steak of cheaper
meats.
AS butter is still quoted at 35
cents and fresh eggs are scarce at
SO cents a dozen, commission men al
so are advising those who would re-
duce the meat and grocery bill to eat
rabbits or fish, both OF which are
selling at exceptionally low prices

nesota were destroyed by the tornado
of fire Sept. 1, 1894.
The walls of the room in which
Root died were literally covered with
newspaper clippings, poems, maya
zine articles and pictures recounting
the heroism of the man. -
Jim Root, as the old-time en-
gineers of st. Paul called him, went
with the old St. Paul & Duluth rail-
road when it was first operated, and
was one of the first men to pull a
train over the new line. He was an
cold man" on the run when the
Hinckley fire broke loose Sept. 1,
1894. He was on the way from Du-
.iuth to st.sPaul and had arrived
within a half mile of Hinckley that
day when his train was besieged by
mob of refugees, who had fed from
the town. With men, women and
children tanning his train to the
guard rails, and with the forest
around him all blaze, Engineer
Root backed his train five and a half
miles to Skunk lake, little more than
a slough, where the people plunged
into the water and managed to escape
the tornado of fire that passed over
them.
Engineer Root was in deadly peril
all the time he was driving the train
back to the lake. The heat was so
intense that the windows of his cab
were broken by it, and for a short
space of time he was unconscious
His fireman, John MCGOWAN, escaped
by jumping into the water tank on
the tender. Although badly burned
about the face and hands, Root stuck
to his post, and but for his heroism,
his whole trainload, not only of
Hinckley refugees, but comprising
many prominent Duluth men and
women and other travellers, would
have been burned to death.

MURDER WITNESS IS CAPTURED
Youth Wanted at East Grand Forks
Found at International Falls.

The Crookston Times gives the fol-
lowing account of the capture of a
young man, recently searched for in
Bemidji, and vicinity, wanted as a
murder witness:
deputy Sheriff Ed. Kelly has re-
turned from International Falls,
where he arrested Charley Taylor, a
lad about II, who was formerly en-
ployed in Little Harry's' restaurant
at East Grand Forks, which is in the
rear of Harry Hatch's saloon, where
it is alleged Fred Dale and Joe Car
roll doped Ole Kjorpoe and later hit
him over the head with a revolver,
from the effects of which Kjomoe
died, and later his body was dragged
out back of the saloon, where it was
found the morning following the city
election in November.
young Taylor, who is better
known as Kid Taylor, is supposed to
have been an eye witness to the af-
fair and will be called before the
grand jury to give evidence in the
case. <-,z #
"Capt. Quikley, of the East Grand
Forks police force, said at the time
of the murder, when Carroll, Dale and
Taylor disappeared that if Taylor
could be found he could tell story
which would place the guilt where it
belonged and Sheriff Daniels and Dep
uty Kelly did clever piece of work
first in landing the accused men and
later in rounding up Taylor. Taylor
was at Ft. Francis, just across the
Canadian line from International
Falls, and Deputy Kelly succeeded in
grabbing him when across the line on

Peril in Using Cotton.

The interest taken in the Christ
mas celebration is appreciated, but
every Christmas records numerous &C.
cldents, besides the loss of thousands
OF dollars worth of property. In
the trimming of the tree cotton is
more dangerous than any other fibre
because Of it's hollow structure and
the stimulative effect on combustion
of the air contained. Therefore, it
positively should not be used for it's
snow effect under Christmas trees.
"Celluloid ornaments likewise
should be stunned. Wherever pos
sible electric lights should be used
for tree decoration. The expense of
the first installation would be nomi-
nal and the fixtures could be saved
from year to year. Electricity prop
erly handled is perfectly safe, but
electric bulbs should never be wrap
ped in various colored tissue paper
