The Rex Hotel Fire.

The Rex hotel fire has brought
home to every one in Bemidji two
important; facts: ..
/. That the man who does not
take out insurance it the gambler
and the man who insures plays safe.
2. That Bemidji has adequate
fire fighting apparatus and service
but. an inadequate water supply.
The first point needs little elabora-
ton. The man who does not insure
bets that he will never have a fire.
The man who does insure takes no
chances and if he is fortunate
enough to be skipped he knows that
his money is helping some one else.
Bemidji has pumps and mains
large enough and strong enough to
hold five times as much water as
was available yesterday and at three
times the pressure. The attention
of the council has been brought re-
peatedly to the fact that the city is
depending upon one well for it's
water supply and that that well is
good for but 200 gallons per minute.
Instead of taking prompt action, the
council has been delaying the mat
ter several months.
1t is impractical to pump water
out of the lakes except in cases of
emergency, as the water has been
condemned by the state health Off
GERS. The one thing left for the city
to do is to put down more wells and
$1,000 or $500 in wells yesterday
would probably have saved the hotel.
Ass it was, not enough water could
beathrown into the building and at
times the pressure would not carry
the stream to the third hoor.
Bemidji has had two bad fires al
ready this year and they are not
good for the insurance rate. The
Reg hotel was a supposedly fireproof
building, yet bd1ir:ned like finder once
the flames were beyond control. The

A FLY CATEC HISM


The following questions and answers
were prepared by the Indiana state
board of health and have been widely
copied. The school board of Asheville,
n. c., caused them to he pasted in the
spelling books used in the graded
schools of the city:
Where is the fly born? In manure
and Nth.
Where does the fly live? In every
kind of filth.
Is anything too filthy for the hy to
eat2 No.
Where does he go when he leaves the
surface closet and the nj pile and
the splttoon? Into the kitchen and
dining room
What does ne do there? He walks
on the bread, fruit and vegetables. He
wipes his feet On the butter and bathes
in the milk.
Does the fly visit the patient sick
with typhoid fever, consumption and
cholera iufantum? He does, and he
may call on YOU next.
Is the fly dangerous? He is mans
worst pest and more dangerous than
wild beasts or ra~ttlesnakss.
What disease does the fly carry? He
carries typhoid fever, consumption and
ummer complaint. How? On his
wings and hairy feet, What is his
correct nars7 Typhoid fly.
Did he ever kill any one? He kiIlsd
moro American soldiers during the
Spanish American war than did tho
bullets of tho Spsniards.
Where are the greatest number of
cases of typhoid fever. consumption
and summer complaint? Where there
are the most flies.
Where are the most flies? Where
there is the most filth.
Why should we kill the fly? Be-
cause he may kill us.
When shall we kill the fly? Kill him
before he gets wings. Kill him when
he is a magget in the manure pile.
| XIII him while he is in the egg state.
How? Keep the stables dry and
clean and don't allow any to
stay on the premises longer THIN one
week. Have all other filth and trash
accommodating on your premises remov-
ed or burned at least Il c a week.
If your neighbor fails to comply with
these rules and allows files to breed on
his premises to visit you, screen your
doors and windows and keep them out.

SAGE TEA WILL
DAnKEN THE HAIR
Restore Faded and Gray Hair to
Natural Colcr-D a IL d + fl
Quickly Removed.

There Is nothing new about the
idea of using Sage for restoring the
color of the hair. Our grandmothers
kept their hair dark, glossy and
abundant by the S of a simple
Sage Tea" Whenever their hair
fell out or took on q dull, faded or
streaked appearance, they made a
brew of Sage leaves, and applied it
to their hair with wonderful benif-
cial effect.
Nowadays we don't have to resort
to the old-time tiresome method of
gathering the herbs and making the
tea. This is done by skilful chem
lists better than we could do it our
selves; and all we have to do is to
call for the ready-made product,
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair
Remedy, containing Sage in the
proper strength, with the addition
of Sulphur, another old-time scalp
remedy.
This preparation gives youthful
color and beauty to the hair, and is
one of the best remedies you can
use for %dandrUff, dry, feverish, itch
ing scalp, and falling hair. Get a
fifty cent bottle from your druggist
today, and you will be surprised at
the quick results. All druggists sell
it under guarantee that the money
will be refunded if the remedy is
not exactly as represented.

DISHES.

Usually dishes that are needed in o
hurry are not those of little cost,
though they need not be e~xtrayagant.
Under the sudden pressure of mex
pected company, and the demands on
ones hospitality, the subject OF e
pense is for the moment forgotten.
A very excellent idea is to have a
few emergency recipes posted in a
convenient place near the hospitality
shelf Of good things, reserved for just
such occasions.
AS simple dishes are best liked by
the best people, and more thought is
given to the dainty equipment of the
table, than to lavish display, any n
with hospitable instincts, good taste
and small means, can entertain most
satisfactorily.
The bouillon cubes that may be
dropped into hot water at a moments
notice, the canned soups, so appetiz-
ing, or cream (of any vegetabIe) soup
may be very quickly prepared and Is
always welcome.

Window Curtains.

Two kids of curtains at a window
are not by am means a necessity, but
IN almost all cases such an
ment is extremely attractive, says the
Ladies Home Journal. Curtains Of
silk, linen, %cretonns or madras provide
the note Of color that is desired in the
scheme of decoration in the room. and
as a rule supply adequate window fur
nishins; but thin curtains of net,
scrim or muslin next to the pane are
always a charming addition and have
the added value of preserving uni.
formity in the appearance Of the win
dows from without. In cases where
curtains U sCrim or muslin are all
that is required for the decoration OF
a ROOF such curtains should not bs
used.

GOOD WAY TO PACK TRUNK

at Her Disposal.

A woman who is constantly travel
ing and yet who finds 1t most neCes
sary to economic in space as we'll as
In pennies has found the following
plan for packing her one trunk a most
excellent one: At the bottom OF the
trunk she has a partition made large
enough to carry one large or two
small hats. This is strongly made, SO
that It cannot easily be broken. At
the side OF this partition she places a
wooden box filled with sawdust, in
which are her bottles of medicine.
Here, too, she lays her shoes, each
pair carefully rolled in linen owe
On one set Of shoes she put her pair
of rubbers and inside the shoes she
places her boxes of pills or powders
which would not go into the box OF
medicine. Then she has six or eight
pieces of heavy cardboard cut to ex.
actly At the trunk. These she covers
with linen or chintz, so that they look
exactly like large envelopes, with
straps or strings to fasten down the
flaps. In these huge envelopes she
pins her dresses, shirtwaists, etc. Two
or three dresses can usually be put in
each envelope. Everything is kept alb.
solutely fat and nothing can be
pushed to one end Of the trunk when
1t is stood on end, At the top Of the
trunk is a shallow tray, IN which she
puts her laces, ribbons, wells and
