To make a fever pillow take a piece
 of old linen that has been well washed and make with it a case about twenty two inches by eighteen inches. Take old newspapers. letters or circu- lars and tear them into pieces not lar ger than a ten cent piece, or cut soft paper into strips about half an inch wide and two inches long and curl the strips with an old penknife. Fill the case quite full with the papers and a few shreds of flannel and sew the end up.

Oyster Luxuries
sy Maraarete. Matzenauer.I


 IF had not been successful as grand
 opera contra1to know would have succeeded as cook. I love to cook fully as well as to sing, and, while my cooking audiences are of necessity small, they are always enthusiastic and demand many encores.
 In America the opera season and the oyster season go hand in hand. don't knew how many ways an oyster can be cooked. but during the fall and win! fer have oysters three times day. am pafticularly fond of oysters stew ed with mushrooms And this is the way to prepare the dish:
 Take an equal quantity of mush- rooms (either canned or fresh), torna- toes and oysters. Blanch the oysters in their liquor and season with pepper and salt. Heat the mushrooms in little gravy; then set the tomatoes in a bak- ing pan, stalk end down. Cut 8 slice off the top of the tomatoes and scoop out enough to make a. cavity big enough to hold an oyster and mush- room. Brush with melted butter, dust with paprika and then fill the tomato cavities with the oyster and mush- room and place the pan in the oven un- til the tomatoes are tender. Baste every few minutes with melted butter. This is one of my regular breakfasts while in New York with the Metro politan, for I have housekeeping apartment at the Ansonia- The kitch- en is the most important room of my apartment without exception. and in my kitchen I have about everything I have ever heard of in the way of cook ing appliances adaptable to small family And whether am singing or resting I thoroughly enjoy creating new dishes or making favorite viands from old and standard recipes.
 l My husband is very fond of oysters wrapped in thin strips of bacon and fried. The seasoning I use is paprilza, salt and lemon juice. Tn making creamed oysters I melt tablespoon ful of butter in a saucepan and mix a l tablespoonful of flour with it, adding a pinch of nutmeg. and gradually pour 1 in pint of cream, stirring well in order to prevent Jumps from forming. When the mixture boils add a quart l of well drained oysters and allow the dish to boil till the oyster edges begin to curl; then I season with a dash of salt and a little celery salt and a goodly dash of paprika, and serve inn med1ately on square slices of toast or with crackers.

HINTS ON HEALTH

FTNHE average healthy person has AEr
 tIe to fear from drafts, but the aged enfeebled. infants and persons especially susceptible must be protect ed from them.
 sIeep with tlne bedroom window wide, open The old superstitl1tion that night air is unhealthy even for amin valid Is entirely false. On the con- trary, night air. especially in large cities. is purer and better than day air because it contains less dust and fewer microbes. To get the best ventilation have the window open at both top and bottom.
 It is a mistake to suppose that e healthy complexion needs no care IE needs a good deal of care 1n order to keep it healthy. A daily facial bath o9 soap and water is not enough even to keep the Skin clean if one lives in a big city where soot and dirt abound. for soap and water do not reach the inner pores. and unless these arc treated to a cleansing with cold cream they will become clogged in short order, so the daily bath Of cold cream or some other cleansing property is just as necessary to a hea1thys clean condition as soap and water.

Plan new CREDIT SCHEME.
Merchants Association Considering
Establishment Of System Whereby
Custome,G Will Be Benefited.
WOULD KEEP DOWN EXPENSES

Twenty business men gathered at
the regular weekly meeting of the
Merchants association Tuesday after
noon at which all members took part
in the various discussions.
Requests have come from citizens
in both city and country asking that
the merchants get together and plan
some sort Of credit system, which
would enable all to secure the line. Of
credit to which they are entitled, and
yet hold check on the few who may
be inclined to overreach their limit.
These requests are becoming quite
numerous and it is probable that the
association will take the proposition
up as a body at some future date.
That such a plan could be effected,
and that it would work to the adyan-.
tage Of the customer as we'll as the
merchant, is believed to be a certain
sty. That if regular settlement on
accounts could be made, there can be
no question but that it would mater.
tally reduce the cost of living. To
this end the association will extend
its efforts and inasmuch as it is re-.
#ceiving the cooperation Of many of
our citizens and farmers, such plan
may materia1ize in the near future.

With Verdict of Coroner's Jury.

Mr.. and Mrs. Richard Petits Of
are not satisfied with the
verdict of the coroner's jury, that
their little 7-year-old child died Of
kidney trouble on June Is, and will
have the case reopened. It is un-
derstood they have engaged the ser.
vices of a Walker attorney to con-
duct the case in their behalf. The
little child, being apparently in the
best of health, was picked up in the
street in front of the Petits home a
few minutes after an automobile
driven by William Fellows lhad3
passed, and died in a short time. It
was believed that the little boy had
been hit by the machine. A post

Coroner Ibertson and DR.. r. H. Smith

The doctor stated that he found 10
indications that the child had been
struck by an automobile, but be-

John Lind, late special envoy of Pres
ident Wilson to Mexico, when shown
a copy of local paper giving CORE

kins to General Carranza. The let
tiers indicated that Mr.. Lind had been
liberal in giving counsel to the Con-

not discuss any statements of alleged
fact in the letters themselves.
"Of course cannot discuss commu-
nicatiOns that I do not know are au-
thentic," he said. Persons who will
steal private correspondence will just
as soon forge letters"
BY this remark Mr.. Lind evidently
indicated his idea of the way in which
the letters came into the possession
of the New York Herald.
Mr.. Lind was asked what he thought
of the general impression conveyed by
the letters that British interests were

tural conditions, Otto Bergh, agrono-
mist of the Crookston experimental

perimental farm the middle of next
September. With his bride Mr..
Bergh will return to the United
States within the next month
While in Bemidji last Sunday A.
D. Wilson, Of the state eXtention de-
partment, said that Mr.. Bergh had
excepted the Grand Rapids position,
and letter from the latter indicates
that it is his inten tion to assume the
work as soon as the necessary ar
engagements can be made. Mr. Will.
son said that Supt., Mcclure is one
sofaathc most valuable raen in the
state service and that with Mr..
Bergh in charge at Grand Rapids,
the change will prove of great be-
nefit to the farmers of MINI sota.
Mr.. Bergh's randi progress in his
profession is gratifying to his many
friends in Bemidji, and his success
at Crookston stamps him as one of
the leading agriculturists in the
