mol ointment. Resinol is a doctors
prescription which for twenty years

SKY MARAUDER IN AIRSHAFT
Birds Cling FearfuiIy to Fire Escape
While Sparrow Hawk hovers
Near.

A servant maid In an apartment on
the fourth floor of the Victoria, at
Riverside drive and Ninety-seventh
street, opened the kitchen window
Monday morning and wondered why
dozens Of sparrows that were hud-
ding on fire escape and window sill
did not take fright and scurry away.
Then she glanced outward and up
ward into the airshaft and discovered
the reason.
A sparrow hawk. sun glinting on its
wings, was wheeling rapidly high up
in the airshaft, but below the root
level. Occasionally. when the marau-
der's keen eye glimpsed a sparrow
which hadn't taken refuge II darted
like a flash. Twice while the maid
watched the hawk made a capture and
scared out of the airshaft.
The air pirate worked for about two
hours and disappeared shortly before
noon. but 1t vas at least half an hour
later when the plump, brown spar
rows recovered from the terror caused
by the hawks appearance.

Two Boys, a Cow and Two Calves.

This is a short story OF how two
Vermont boys. still in their teens.
have made some real money on a thor
%oughbred Guernsey. They paid 5000
for the animal when she was two
years old. and as their father was q
banker and they were away to school
a farmer was induced to keep the ami
NAL for them. They owned the cow
a little owe two years and during that
time she had two calves. The boys
found a ready market for the calves
and have just sold the cow. the three
animals having been sold for $525.
The farmer charged them $125 for
keeping of the stock and other ex-
penses and the boys will net 500
apiece from the transaction. The boys
are quite satisfied with their invest
ment and incidentally have become
somewhat interested in life upon a
Vermont farm.-Springfeld (vt.l Re-

Taxation Laws Bother.

Notwithstanding is strictly up
against it in the matter of raising
taxes this year, owing to an apparent
collision in two laws which went into
effect July /. The two laws are the
ones which require that property shall
be assessed at its full value, and the
law which prohibits cities assessed at
yer 81, 100000 from making a levy of
over II mills without a special cleo
ton, which will permit the raising OF
an additional two mill levy. This meant
that Mobridge will have to run along
this year on half the money used dur
ing the last several years, as the as
sessment Of property at its full value
brings the total valuation above the
million dollar mark, which puts a ban
on more than II mill levy.

The School District Law.

The School District Law.
Pierre.-That the showing of condi-
tons of school districts is the vital
element in the provisions of chapter
173, laws of 1915, and not the date on
which such showing can be made is
the vital factor, is the holding of the
attorney generals Office on inquiry
from a states attorney. In the inquiry
it is shown that the law requires pub
LEGATION within twenty days after the
close OF the fiscal year. and that school
boards are required to meet the Sec
ond Tuesday in July, which this year
made the meeting so late that the
publications could not be completed
within the required time, and it was
whether or not such publication could
be required under the conditions raised
that the department held that pub
LEGATION, and not time, was the vital
factor of the law.

POPULATION LOSS is SMALL.
Final Figures for State Census Show
Decrease Of little More Than 1000.

Pierre.-The final figures of state
population for the 1915 census shows
a total of $50, 765, or only 1923 less
than for the 1910 census. AS there
was a heavy exodus of people from
the west river counties in the past
five years, they having proved up"
the claims they came out to get. and
left the country, the figures show that

past two years in that section has

SOME KITCHEN HINTS
DISPOSITION OF INGREDIENTS IN
THE PANTRY.
Flour Must Be Sifted Several Times to
Secure the Best Resuts-Use of
Bread Crumbs-Tin Cake
Boxes.

FIour.-F1our should always be sift-
ed several times, as this adds to the
lightness of bread or cake. When
sour milk is to be employed with the
flour, cream of tartar or baking pow
der is omitted and only soda used.
Tea biscuits, made with soda and sour
milk, are delicious southern delicacies.
A quarter of teaspoonful of soda is
sufficient for quart of -four.
Bread Crumbs-Crumbs that are to
be kept for any time should be put in
glass jars. Jars with the tight screw
tops used for preserves are excellent
for the purpose. The crumbs will
keep better if the bread is first dried
in the stove, then grated and bottled
when entirely cold. All scalloped
dishes include crumbs in the mixture
and dry dust of them on top With
the addition of the crumbs, and prop
er seasoning, an fragments of fresh
meat, fish and poultry may be used
up.
Salt and Pepper.-Table salt should
be f1ne-in fact, almost as smooth as
powder. Black pepper has more taste
and pungency if ground freshly in a
little pepper mill at the time of using.
Heating the Bread Knife.-When
you are cutting new bread for the la
BILE did you ever try putting the knife
in hot water? Try it some time and
see if you don't find it cuts much
easier
Tin Bread and Cake Boxes.-Always
keep cake and bread in tin boxes, as
wooden boxes, unless well seasoned,
are apt to give them a disagreeable
taste, and wrapping them in brown
paper should be avoided for the same
reason.

Youngest iron Cross Winner.

The youngest knight" to be decor
ated with the Iron Cross in Germany
Is Alfonso Koberle, who is only thir-
ten and one-half years of age and who,
for that reason, will have to wait two
and one-half years before the decora-
ton will be actually pinned on him,
says the Boston Post.
Koberle is the son of laborer.
Owing to his powerful build he was
readily accepted among the volunteer
bicycle men. His agility and his abil-
ity to adjust himself to his environ
ment specially fitted him for patrol
duty, and he developed special skill
in the discovery and observation of
hostile positions.
