~ got down her work basket, and sat
down to sew.
Restiessness.
But the sewing occupied only her
hands. Her mind was full of Warren
and of an indefnable dread of the
the clock. She knew it was foolish to
expect him so early, and yet she
found herself listening for every
sound.
At TN she laid aside her sewing
and took up magazine. If she could
only interest herself in a story, the
time would not seem so long. But she
could not hold her attention to the
words about her. She read a whole
page without knowing what it was
about She almost wished the baby
would awaken-anything to occupy
her time and attention.
At eleven she resolved to go to bed.
She knew that it would only irritate
him to find her waiting up for him so
late. But she could not sleep. She toss
ed and turned for almost an hour then
she could stand it no longer. Slipping
into a heavy bathrobe, she went into
the front roo mand sat down by the
window.
1t was raining heavily. The streets
were deserted. save for now and then
a dark umbrella-hidden figure hur-
rying by. Each time her heart leapt
with the hope that it might be War
rem. But always the figure passed on.
The Fear of Drink.
The sitting room clock struck one.
She went back and threw herself down
on the bed in sick despair. She knew
now that the fear which had haunted
her all evening was true-he was

drinking Nothing else would have
kept him so late.
1t was almost two when she heard
the hall door open. She did not move.
She though it would be easier to pre-
tend she was asleep. She hadn't the
heart to talk to him now. And besides
it would not help, anything she could
say would only irritate and excite him.
She heard him moving around the
sitting room-then in his own room.
The door between was ajar-would he
open it to see if she was asleep? She
lay quite still, her face turned away.
but he did not come to the door.
He was undressing now. She waited
for the sound of running water in the
bathroom. However late he came
home, he always took his bath But
tonight he didn't. There was a creak-
ing of springs as he threw himself
heavily into bed.
For long time she lay starNg into
the darkness before her. Perhaps. af-
ter all. she was wrong. Something
might have detained him. He may not
have broken his promise, he might not
have been drinking at all.
The Broken Promise.
She sprung up, her heart beating
fast. She must know, II was not fair
to her to harbor even a doubt-when
il might be groundIess! She stole qui-
city to the half-open door From his
heavy breathing she knew he was
asleep.
Very softly she entered the room.
The rain had ceased and a bright
moonlight shone through the window
He was lying like a child. his arms
thrown over the pillow. His face was

suggest that he had been drinking. In
stead he looked very strong and yir-
lie there. his well-built form outlined
by the covers, and yet with face al
most boyishly sweet in its repose.
With sudden rush of tenderness
she drew nearer the bed. And she had
been wrong. She felt sure of it now.
An unreasonable joy and relief swept
through her. She stopped over to kiss
him-not to awaken him-just to kiss
the covers or perhaps his arm.
And then she drew back sharply!

mistakable.
For moment she stood motionless
gazing down at him. Then she turned
and crept back TO bed.

The dog saved us. You may need
him. Sally Spencer had urged when
the question of taking him came up.
She was right. We did need him.
We NEEDED him more than we needed
anything else on earth. And he knew
when he was needed. So many friends
who have brains where he has only

And to Helen was coming another

the fact is hardly noticed at the time.
1t is forgotten, in most cases, until
the bills are due.
1t was customary to clean the oil
lamps very often, generally every day.
But the electric lamps, especially when
they are suspended from the ceiling,
are frequently not cleaned for months
at a time. Instances are on record
where they have not been cleaned at
all. The least little accumulation of
dust and CRIME on the lamp bulbs and
shades absorbs light while it in no
way diminishes the amount of energy
the lamp consumes. When the lamps
begin to get dim, because of this ac-
emulation of dirt, more and more
lamps are required.
Where light bills are too high there
is usually a very good reason. This
reason is seldom hard to find. If the
lamps are not old and worn out, or
dirty and not properly shaded, it will
be found that some of them have ac-
cidentally been left burning all night,

"The probabilities are, madam, that
you have forgotten to turn off some
lights"
"The attic lights burned all night
once"
With little piece of paper and a
pencil the clerk easily showed her that
large portion of the extra charge
was due to this forgetfulness.
A kilowatt-hour of electricity diff
fers very little from a ton of coal or
a gallon of kerosene. All three rep
resent a certain amount of energy.
But we can see and feel coal while
electricity is invisible. One does not
blame the coal dealer if some of the
coal passes through the stove without
burning. There is no comp Iaint to
the groceryman if some of the kero-
sene is spilled in filling the lamps.
With the waste of electricity the sit
uation is different. If lamp is left
burning in the cellar for few hours,
or piece of electric cooking appara-
tus is left with the current turned on,

ONE IMPORTANT STEP TAKEN
Children Are Being Educated To Help
in Fight Against Dreaded White
Plague

Germany fought the potato beetle
by teaching her school children before
the plague came just what it looked
like, and just how hungry it would
make peasant children if allowed to
gain foothold in the umpire.
American educators are fighting an
immeasurably greater plague in a
similar way. They are teaching school
children the meaning and the menace
of tuberculosis. They are telling lads
and lassies in thousand schools how
the white plague is spread, how it can
be avoided, how when taken in time it
can be cured.
When the children thus taught grow
to manhood and womanhood, it will be
less easy to rent death-trap rooms and
sell milk from tuberculosis cows than
it is today.
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1913-06-17

or for several days. Often it happens
that considerable entertainment has
been provided during the month.
Where two or three lamps were usual
ly burned of an evening the house has
been lighted from cellar to attic until
a late hour once or twice during the
month. Where SO many lamps are
burned for so many hours the bills
will be somewhat higher. An in
crease of IS cents in the bill is easily
accounted for in this way. Five twen-
ty-watt lamps can be burned on an
average of six hours a day for thirty
days at cost of but $1.80 where cur
rent is sold at ten cents kilowatt.
If twenty additional lamps, of the
same size, were burned for only twen-
ty hours during that month it would
add 80 cents to the lamp bill. I'm
fortunately neglect to turn off the
lamps, entertainment, ETC., are usually
forgotten by everyone, except the lit
tie electric meter, by the time the
month is ended and the bill received.
The meter does not forget and is very,
very seldom in error. The sale of
electric current is always on a mutual
benefit basis. The company wants its
customers satisfied and it will cheer
fully inspect the meter, investigate
possible losses and endeavor to adjust
any difficulties that may appear.

MUST MAKE UP LOST TIME
Minnesota Will This Month Make
Progress in Organized Booster
Work

Three meetings this month of great
Importance to Minnesota are those of
the Northern Minnesota, Southern
Minnesota and West Central Mime
sofa Development associations. They
represent an awakened spirit and unit
ed effort on the part of citizens to
promote the interests not only of their
own districts but of the state as a
whole, and, though all these organi-
cations are comparatively new, they
have done and are doing good work.
Minnesota has been lamentably slow
in organized booster work. While
other Western states have for years
had organizations to advertise and
develop their resources this state has
only within the past few years taken
steps in this direction. But the three
Minnesota organizations whose annual
meetings are held this month are
making up for lost time and are doing
things that are rapidly putting this
state in the front rank as far as de-
velopment work goes.

HOW TO SAVE ELECTRICITY
Carelessness and FOrgetfulness is
Generally the Cause of Excessive
Light Bills

BY far the greater proportion of the
complaints which reach the Office of
every electric light station are be-
cause the patron thinks the monthly
charge for electricity is exorbitant.
"Last month my bill was only $1.15,
now it is $1.s5 and we have actually
burned less light than ever before.
The meter simply must be wrong"
meters are very seldom in error
explained the smiling clerk. "And
when they are in error they usually
run slow instead of fast. 1t is almost
impossible to make meter run fast,
whereas the slightest unusual friction,
due to wear and tear, will make it
slow up"
"But surely"

Ask Legal resa Of eonas.

Columbus.-Recomm that
all bonds Issued by the state
or political subdivisions shall
have their legality and correct
ness certified to by the attorney gen.
eral is made by State Treasurer D.
s. Creamer in his last annual report
filed with Gov. Harmon. He also
recommends that bonds Of all state
officials and employees be filed with
and held by the state treasurer.
In advising that the attorney gener-
al pass on the legality of bonds, retir-
ing Treasurer Creamer has helped pre-
pare a bill containing this provision
and it will be introduced in the COM
ing legislature. He says as state treas
urer he is the custodian of millions OF
dollars worth of bonds of municipali-
ties, left in his hands as security for
state funds deposited with various
state banks and by trust companies
as permanent security for their final
ity. He has no means of knowing II
these bonds are absolutely valid, and
the treasurer, he contends, must carry
the risk.
Creamer's idea for the state legal
approval of bonds fits in with the plan
proposed by Mayor Baker of Cleve-
land, who wants a provision by which
city or village may issue its securi-
ties and have them sold at retail over
the counter to small investors. With
the validity of the bonds certified to
by the states highest legal authority
it is contended the individual investor
would have no reason to fear legal
technicality and would be willing to
invest his surplus earnings In few
of the bonds to get the entire income.
AS to bonds of state officials,
Creamer points out that there is no
uniformity. This fact has been the
cause of several unpleasant incidents.
In the report, which is of November
Is, Creamer calls attention : to the
amount of interest earned by his de-
pository system, now mandatory by
law. The total is $629, ,722.9S. OF this
$178,648.72 was earned this year.
The state had balance of $4,6S2,-
837.93 November Is, which is 1914.
721.56 more than it had a year ago.
Of the balance $4,247,0OO was earning
interest in inactive repositories and
$415,472.56 in one active depository.
Only about $4,000 is not drawing in
terest and there are no funds in pro-
cess of collection.

Want State DaIrv inspectors.

Legislation to bring about statewide
inspection of dairies and sources Of
milk supply tot supersede the present
system of local inspection wil be
sought by Representative-elect Young.
The present plan limits each city in
its source of supply to territory that
can be visited by city inspectors.
Ability to control the producers in
this district has enabled the milk
trusts of the various cities to get a
grip on supply and thus shut out small
dealers, it is charged. .h
State inspection, Young belieyes,
would cure this evil by opening UP a
statewide market to farmers of Ohio.
A recent investigation by Prosecutor
Turner of Columbus showed that
farmers of Franklin county were al
most unanimously in favor of state in
spection. State inspection is urged by
Prof. Oscar Err of Ohio state univer-
sity, who would have the state board
composed of veterinarian, a laboring
man to represent consumers, pro-
ducer, and a distributor.
