LOCAL GATHERINGS

The fire truck was called yes
terday morning for a fire in Mrs.
G. A. Knapp's apartments in the
Octagon. Mrs. Knapp was cleansing
clothes with gasolene in the kitchen
when the gasolene exploded in some
manner, probably from a lighted
match. The firemen, Marden and
Bailey made quick work of the blaze
using only a hand extinguisher to
prevent what might have developed
into a serious fire. When the fire
men arrived the flames were licking
up a cupboard over the sink where
the gasolene was burning and a fold
ing screen was also on fre. To
make matters worse the trap door
which leads to the room from the
floor beneath was accidently closed,
and they were trapped in the room
with the gasolene burning br1skly
and gas escaping from an open valve
on the gas range. A window was
broken, giving the men chance to
breathe and the fire quickly extin-
guished without much damage.
Mrs. Knapp's hand was burned but
not seriously.

This legend should be written on the
wall OF every mothers room, to re-
mind her constantly that one OF the
great services she can render her baby
Is to protect him and his food from
flies.
Every female fly may lay about 40
eggs at a time, which hatch In ten days
into full grown flies, so that every
female fly which Is not destroyed viii
be increased many million by the end
OF the season. II Is an impossible task
to destroy them at this stage or TO pro-
tect the house and family against them.
The only really effective results are
secured when the eggs are destroyed
The favorite breeding places Of the
common houseay is In horse manure.
In a pile OF a thousand pounds there
may be half a million maggOts ready
to hatch, unless they are destroyed in
the larval stage, as the eggs are called
Various substances have been sug-
gested for use upon horse manure in
order to destroy the fy maggots.
Among these are iron sulphate, kero-
sene, chloride Of lime. hellebOre and
borax.
The United States department OF ag-
riculture has recently recommended
powdered hellebore as a cheap, safe
and effective substance for the treat
ment Of manure. "One-half pound OF
powdered hellebOre mixed with ten gal
Ions Of water is sufficient to kill the
larvae In eight bushels, or ten cubic
feet, of manure. In most places belle
bore is obtained In 100 pound lots at a
cost Of IL cents a pound. This makes
the cost Of the treatment a little less
than seven-tenths OF a cent per bushel
Of manure. A liberal estimate Of the
output Of manure is two bushels a day
per horse"

effort must be made to keep each in

cooled till lukewarm.
II dry yeast is used a pint OF the

sponge, which is set overnight II con-
densed yeast the whole Of the -four Is
used at once, kneaded and allowed to

into Ioayes, which are allowed to rise
to twice their first bulk, after which
they are baked 1t Is best to dissolve
the yeast or test II In a little tepid hq-
MD to which teaspoonful OF sugar Is
added for 1t to feed upon. 1t may then

indeed, it will shine forever. She Is
that sweetest of all things, a woman
between tears and smiles, because the
one opens her heart and the other mir
rors her mind
Let us consider her q little as she
trips along the Rue de Ia PAX, for she

That might be her arch reply, but she
would say nothing, knowing the elo-
quence OF silence under admiration
