NEW MACHINE FOR DEBORAH
Lens Grinding Plant Just Installed
by T.. III. McNiasters, the Eye
Specialist.

E. II. McMasters, the eye special
| Isl, successor to Karl ID. Fisk, has
just installed an up-to-date and
complete lens grinding plant in his Of
flee in the Winneshiek hotel build
ing.
This will be a great convenience
for the people of DEBORAH and vicin-
Iity, as it is necessary in small cities
and towns in this part of the STATE,
that the person with pair Of broken
spectacles must wait from three to
four days to have them seat to he
factory to be repaired. All that is
ended now for DEBORAH. The new
outfit includes an instrument for ac-
curately measuring the strength Of
he broken lens, so that there can be
no mistake in duplicating it abso-
lutely. The lens grinding plant puts
in the operators power to produce
any kind and strength of spectacle
lenses at once. Those who know the
character of the work pu! out by Nc
Masters and his great skill and con-
scientious attention to details, viii!
have no doubt that the standard of
the work he will do with his new
machine will be up to the highest,
The new plant includes several
machines, all run by electric power,
and represents a very large invest
ment. rs installation means not
only prestige for Mr.. McMaster's op-
teal trade and for DEBORAH, but also
great convenience for the public in
this part of Iowa. 1t gives him one
of the finest and best equipped Off
ces in this part of the country. Be-
sides the grinding plant he has every
known instrument of merit, all cleo
trical, for use in his examinations of
the eye. He has endeavored to give
| to the people of DEBORAH a service
long needed, as complete service as
that found in any of the large cities.
Mr.. McMasters enjoys the distinction
of being the only man in this part or
the state who has passed the state
board of examination in anatomy.
physiology, opthalmalogy, medical
physics and practical optometry.

LUCK is CHAMPIONS ALLY.
Luther Defeated i'm Basket Ball Game
at Prairie du Chen.

Last Saturday Luther's basket
ball team journeyed to Prairie du
Chen to wage war on her ancient ri
val, Champion. At eight o'clock p.
m. the struggle for supremacy began.
Ten minutes Of play passed by with
out a single baske. made on either
side. But now the scoring began in
due succession. One of Champion 8
guards made sensational shot"
from the middle of the floor, and the
excitement began. Losen, our star
forward, got busy right away and
tied the score. The Luther team had
the locals outclassed entirely in team
work. With AL Natvig as guard it
was quite impossible for Champion
to get even near their own basket;
so that the only thing they could do
was to shoot from distance. At the
end of the first half the score stood
II to in Luther's favor.
The second half was characterized
by the same speed and dexterity,
Luther always out-pasing her oppon-
ent and keeping The lead in the num-
Der of baskets. In this half Kjos
showed up we'll, caging two baskets
and making four out of six free
throws. Right at the beginning
Champion tied us; and now began
the see-sawing One minute Luther
would be ahead, the next minute
Champion would tie the score. One
could not tell who was going to win,
but it seemed like the victory was
going to be Luther's. But 10 and be-
hold. with Luther one point in the
lead and only twelve seconds left to
play, one of their guards ran down
and shot another basket, only trust
ing to luck that the ball would go
in. That very second Lu:her's fate
was sealed, and she lost the game by
tiny margin of % to %.

Hints Worth Trying.

To press a plated skirt-Fasten
the plaits in place by pinning to the
ironing board, then hold the waist
band firmly in one hand and stretch
slightly toward the top.
Hints for cold wash days-To keep
the clothes from freezing in cold
weather throw handful of salt into
the blueing water Warm the clothes
pins in the oven before hanging out
the clothes and the hands will MOI
chill so quickly. 1t is a good plan
to wear white wooden gloves if one
does not find them awkward in
handling the clothes.
To cure car sickness-A Pullman
car porter told Inc to eat several sill
ces of raw potato sprinkled with
salt, one morning when l despaired
Of ever being able to eat again. In
one half hour / was eating hearty
breakfast.

Patents an Engagement Ring.

How to place an engagement ring
On the finger Of woman who had
unusually large knuckles was the
problem which, until recently, both
cred California ranchman and oc-
cupied many thought-laden days and
restless nights. The fingers were of
normal size except just at the joints,
and hence a ring that would go on
was to large when in position.
The subject was studied from ev-
cry conceivable angle. and the fing-
ers measured and remeasured and

Patronize Your Home Merchants.

Not a week goes by that some
stranger is not making the rounds OF
the residences in DEBORAH to sell
some article which could just as we'll
be purchased by the people OF this
city from local merchants. The SOL
icitors hold out such wonderful"
reasons why you should buy of
them. They are here today and
away tomorrow and if anything goes
wrong with what you buy of them
you can get along the best way you
can. If you bought the same article
from a local store the home merch-
ant would be only too glad to right
the matter. Buy from the merchant

ducing the obstruction, but with lit

At last, just as matters were as
Stunning a desperate state, the Cali
fornia man invented a ring that could
be taken apart and adjusted to the
finger and then fastened together
with two minute pins. A miniature
lock and key can be used instead of
the pins, in case there should ever
be danger of the ring being tamper-
ed with. A patent for the device
has been issued by the United States
patent office, and Cupid is now en-
titled to be ranked among the inven-
tors.
