HEAVY STORM AND MUCH HAIL

Wednesday mornings storm visited
the towns of Day, Cleveland and vii
lage of Stratford. The corn stalks in
those towns were whipped clean and
resembled bean poles, likewise all
crops were badly damaged by the
hail that had fallen; even the shingles
on buildings were knocked off by the
hail. At Stratford, hundreds of win
dow glass were broken and the roofs
of several dwellings, stores, ETC., were
damaged by the storm. From STRAIT
ford east and west the storm moved
a large swath, leaving disaster in its
wake 1t has been the only hail
storm of any Importance Chat has
visited Marathon county this year.
But it is enough when one has to
meet the bills for destroyed crops,
broken glass, etc.

WRITES FROM EUROPE.

Miss Charlotte Markham, niece of
Mrs. J.. 2. Briggs of this city, and a
young ady who has often visited in
Wausau, has just written very in
seresting letter from Paris, where
she is at present, and the same was
published in her home paper, 1.-THE
Manitowoc Herald" Among other
things she said of the situation:
Paris is in a turmoil of excitement;
the streets are thronged with people;
extras are being cried and groups
of people are discussing the war news
We don't know what the American
papers will say about it or how really
serious it is. In any event, do not be
alarmed about us-if war is declared
we will be in Spain before you can
say Jack Robinson We can get
from Paris into Spain in twelve hours
and our passage home is guaranteed.
When we we're in Scotland
we read of the murder of the Arch
duke of Austria; lamented over the
fact and forgot it. In, London there
was so mach excitement because of
the sufragettes that it took all our
attention. We did not hear another
thing about war until we got down
TO AmienS and then we heard that
the Austrians had demanded a re-
prisal which was refused. From then
on the rumors came thick and fast.
Austria declared war; Russia objected;
the murder of 1000 Jews in st. Peters
burg; England excited; now Paris is
talking about the German Emperor
marching upon the city; Belgrade
was utterly destroyed. The armies
are being modified and French
troops are moving toward the from
tier" Writing, Aug. 1st, Miss Mark
ham says: THE city is simply seeth-
ing tonight. The situation seems to
be much graver than we had thought.
The question is will it be best to cut
for Spain or take chance on condi-
tionS calming down in month or
two? Another alternative is to stay
and wait for American warsllips to
take us home. No ships will accept
paper money of any description; banks
refuse to cash checks-closed entirely
in fact, and the American express
company refuses to cash anything
over $40 and then gives half gold "ri
silver and the other half in paper.
No taxicab driver will take you unless
you show him silver money first

POISON OF NICOTINE
1t Affects the Coronary Arteries and
Produces Tobacco Heart

Tobacco heart - is condition well
known to physicians. 1t is really a
phase of afterioscierosis, due to exces
sive smoking, and is generally charae-
terized by angina pectoris. severe
pain in the chest. The New York Med
ical Record, commenting on some sta
tistics published in Germany by Dr.
j. Pawinski, Gays the important con
clusion to be drawn from them is
"that tobacco has a certain. possibly
a specific, affinity for the coronarv
arteries. These are the arteries of tine
heart itself, those that supply its
muscles with blood.
That nicotine is a powerful poison
has long been known. bait there has
been a wide divergence of opinion as
to whether tobacco smoke contains
nicotine Or not. The Investigations of
Iulinski and Zebrowski prove that it
does. The quantity of nicotine alb.
sorbed by the body from tobacco smoke
is probably small, and if smoking be
indulged in with moderation it will not
iniure healthy adults, but when car
ried beyond the limits of moderation
or when indulged in by young people
it is certain to do harm to the heart.
Its effect is to cause considerable
thickening of the inner membrane of

TROLLEY SAFETY
A Car That Cannot Start While Its
Doors Are Open


Now that almost every person be-
yond infancy in America has learned
that one bell means to stop and two
bells to 90 ahead an ingenious device
is coming into use which threatens to
throw the two bells knowledge into
the scrapheap.
In the latest type of center door
trolley cars, which are rapidly coming
into wide service, no signal to 60 ahead
is needed. A passenger sitting i'll a
front seat is mysti6ed as to how the
motorman knows when to start the car
after street corner stop. 1t is all due
to coupling up the doors with the eur
rent that moves the ear.
When passenger wishes to leave
the ear the conductor cannot open the
doors so long as the motor of the car
is running. When the car stops and
the conductor opens the doors the mo
terman turns the handle of his con
troller on one notch, but the fact that
the doors are open prevents any cur.
rent from reaching the motor. AS soon
as the conductor closes the doors the
current becomes available for the mo-
tors and the car slowly starts.
The motorman can never start the
car while the doors are open; conse-
quently il is always safe for him TO
try to start at any time without wait
ing for signal from the CONDUCTOR
Exchange.

Delicious and Healthful Dishes

We do not have corn meal products
on our tables as frequently as we might
and this is unfortunate, in view of the
fact that this is wholesome food and
easily prepared.
Corn Meal Mush.-Stir the meal
into salted water that is boiling. Cook
slowly, stirring frequently. Use three
times as much water as meal.
Fried Mush.-When making corn
meal mush prepare sufficient for two
meals. Mold one-half in a bread pan
or square mold. This will keep fresh
for several days and makes an excel
lent breakfast dish. Slice the nodded
mush, roll each slice in flour and fry
brown and crisp in dripping or in hot
butter.
Fried Celery.-The outside stalks of
celery are coarse and strong and not
pleasing on the table. hut, cooked. they
become tender and delicate. Cut the
celery in inch or inch and a half pieces.
dip these in egg, then roll in -four that
is seasoned with salt and pepper. Place
in Il frying basket and immerse in
deep. hot fat. When brown place on
a cloth to drain and serve at once
The celery should be dried on a cloth
before dipping in the egg, else the egg
and -four will not adhere. This dish
is called celery sticks and the crisp.
brown morsels make pretty garnish
for all meats.
Stuffed Baked Peppers.-Cut the
tops from the pepper, so they make a
cap that can be fastened on again. Re
move every seed and place the peppers
in fresh cold water for an hour or two
This draws out the holiness and the
longer you keep the peppers in the
fresh water the milder they will he.

Henrietta D. Grauel
The Home-Maker'S Responsibility

The housekeeping woman is re-
sponsible for the cleanliness and whole
someness of her home, the health and
morals of her children, and their sense
of honesty and efficiency. This is Il big
assignment and was given to woman
who came before a down-state Judge
last week in an attempt to gain control
of her children, who had been taken
from her by her husband.
But this is not all of the duty that
mothers and housekeepers have in con-
nection with their families. Women
are responsible for more than health
and morals. If neighborhood is
filthy, her house, no matter how clean
she keeps it, viii be full of bad air
and odors.
If dealers are permitted to sell i'm
pure food, unclean milk or keep food
in unsa2itary stores, all her care goes
for naught. If contagious diseases CON
taminate school or if school condi-
tions are degrading, the mother is to
blame if she does not use her influence
TO make the surroundings as good as
they can be made. Home life does not
begin nor end at the door. but goes
into every walk of life. where there
is no responsibility there is no effort. +"

Cream of Spinach Soup.-Cook the
spinach, adding as little water as pos
sible and save this. Chop the spinach
fine and press through sieve. Return
it to the water and add a small onion
grated; put this, with a quart of milk,
into a double boiler and thicken with
