CLATE TiNAN KICKS

Clate Tinan expresses the senti
ments of many South Dakota pub
fishers when he objects to the latest
plan of the South Dakota Panama ex
position commission to raise funds
for the South Dakota building at the
San Francisco exposition-said plan
being to let the newspapers raise the
money. Clate, in discussing the sug-
gestion In his Kimball Graphic, says:
The last legislature refused to APP
propriate $50, 900 for a South Dakota
building at the San Francisco expo
sition-and very properly so-and the
attempt to raise the amount by pri-
vate subscription Is not faring much
better. When 1t was found that these
private subscriptions were not coming
in a scheme was devised to sell SOU
venirs in the shape of pins. cuff links,
and so on, which were placed on sale
through the banks, but this scheme
also fell fat. Some of the banks did
not get In a dollar. Now 1t is proposed
that the newspapers of the state shall
raise the money. Fifty of the leading
newspapers have been picked out (the
Graphic was one of them) and they
are invited to buy and r.-y for 500
worth OF souvenirs each.S give them
outright to solicitors for subscriptions
and turn over rs per cent Of all money
collected for subscriptions on top of
that. That committee probably reasons
that the grandmothers Of the news

monkeys.

Fairy Land of Light at Braddock
Casino

Myriads of lights glowing through in
tertwined garlands of holly and laurel
covering the ceiling of the Casino at
Braddock Heights, will make the inter-
ior of that place resemble the Million
Dollar Pier at Atlantic City this summer
This is the plan of the management of
the big summer amusement place, and
they intend to put other ideas into effect
that will place the Braddock Casino in
the front ranks of the hot weather
Meccas.
The whole plan is to make the interior
and exterior of the building as summary
as possible.
Coy corners will probably be installed
in each corner of the hall Plans for
this delightful innovation were started
recently when six Of the most advanced
students in Domestic Science at Hood
College, accompanied the manager OF
the Casino to Braddock Heights and
after thorough survey of the Casino,
suggested plans for the erection of the
COW corners.
They will be beautiful and sylvan like
retreats of lattice work, covered with
vines and flowers Broad, green cushions
and appropriate interior decorations will
be added, and each corner will furnish a
delightful resting place after the dances.

Railway Buys Electric Light
Plant.

The Hagerstown and Frederick Rail-
way Company has taken over the plant
of the Frostburg Illuminating and Manu-
featuring Company, under the approval
OF the Public Service Commission. This
plant supplies Frostburg and the vicinity
with electric power. The plant has been
inspected by an efficient corps OF engi.
neers, and is considered an excellent
proposition.
This is perhaps the first active step of
the Railway Company to make effective
the new policy of the company, since adj
ditional capital has been thrown into the
company. New impetus has been given
to the railway company, and as the man.
agement sees fit, additional property will
be acquired
1t is understood that the company will
make some important changes at the
Frostburg plant. The plant now is op.
Grated by steam power, and it is very
probable that in The near future other
motive power will b. used. although it is
thought now that it would be impractical
BILE to use power from the big Security
plant. One thing is certain. and that IS,
that the operating expenses of the plant
will be cut down. Under the direction
of the engineers of the company changes
will be made that will increase the re-
ceipts from the plant.
When the new financing scheme Of the
company went through it was then de-
cided that the Frostburg plant be ac-
quired.

came members of the Boys High School

to boast OF record, which probably can
not be equaled by any public school in

How to Keep Cool in Hot
Weather.

Keeping cool in hot weather is the
easiest thing in the world, according to
Dr. Ira !. McCurdy, city health officer,
and he is living, walking, proof OF the
truth of his statement.
Don't worry.
Don't be in hurry.
Avoid excitement.
Avoid heavy food in the middle of the
day.
Don't drink red liquors.
Right here question arose. which the
reporter asked about mint juleps.
Too much steam heat in 'em," de-
clared DIR. McCurdy, and then he contln-
ued:
Don't eat unripe fruit.
Cool all fruits and raw vegetables be-
fore eating.
Partake freely of cooling beverages.
Babies should be kept strictly on a
milk diet.
Put only enough in the bottle for each
feeding.
Never let the bottle stand around in
the heat for fermentation takes place very
quickly in hot weather which is the cause
of many intestinal ailments in children.
Keep the babies from being exposed
during the heat of the day.
Dress lightly and change clothing FIRE
quently.
Heat prostrations should be treated as
follows:
If overcome by the heat with flushed
face. and dry and hot skin, use cold wa
ter freely, internally and externally. IF
chilly senstions are felt, with depressed
condition of the heart, administer hot
drinks and keep body warm.
AT the first signs OF heat prostration,
fullness of the head. blurred vision, and
cessation of perspiration, immediately
seek shade and remain until the symp
toms have passed away.
"All persons having and exposing for
sale fresh fruits and vegetables, keep
them out of the sun. and screened from
flies. This advice should be carefully
observed for it is an important part of
the statutes relating to the pure food laws
of the State.
Battle frequently. Take a morning
bath in cold water and hot bath at
night, every day during the heated sea-
son.
