Remove to Fifth and Sixth Floors oil

The fifth and sixth floors of the
Safety building are now the quarters
for the head Offices of the Royal
Neighbors of America, the last of the
furniture and fixtures from the old
building. Third avenue and Sixteenth
street, having been moved today.
The present home of the head of
fees of the society is not new to the
employees, as the quarters were sit
uated in the Safety building before the
old Rock Island club building was
purchased. In fact, the fifth and sixth
floors of the Safety building we're
designed for the use of the Royal
Neighbors when the structure was
built.
The building on Sixteenth street be-
came cOngested because of the rapid
growth of the society and removal to
larger quarters was necessary. 1t is
expected that plans for new building
to replace the old one will be consid-
cred during the present year.

MISS PEET TO CONDUCT
COOKING SCHOOL AGAIN

|. j. !. i. !: !: !.
-WM Because of the signal sue
lM3 M cess achieved by the Better
ks\L'A Foods Better Homes school
ls held here last season by
t8:M{s MISS Florence NJ. Peet. The
I|2 Argus is happy to announce

lectures and cookery les
sons IN Masonic Temple. 1t is be-
heved that Miss Peet will please the
progressive housewives of Rock Island
even better than she did last season.
She has been putting in a good MANY
hard ticks in her Better Foods Better
homes work during the past year, and
has learned many new methods and
suggestions that will be of immense
value to women in the care of their
homes.
Her course is to be even more
highly educational than it was last
season and more practical in its ap-
pllcatlon. No woman hears Miss Peet
talk about good cooking and sees her
demonstrate what she means by good
cooking and goes away without a sin
cere desire to be better cook Not
only this, but she also goes away fully
encouraged to believe that she can be
Just as good cook as Miss Peet her
self, if she will only follow definite
rules as taught by this cookery ex-
pert. Except that the course is to be
better and more up-to-date in every
particular, it will be conducted along
much the same lines as that of last
season, because it is believed that
nothing more practical and helpful
can be offered to housewives here.
The school will be opened Monday,

LIQUOR for Banking

How they do it in New Hampshire is
told as follows by the Laconia, N. H.,
Democrat:-
"Some New Hampshire farmers use
sawdust for banking up their homes to
make them warmer in the winter; others
use leaves or pine or hemlock boughs;
others use dirt; and still others depend
almost entirely upon few barrels of
hard cider in the cellar; but a deputy
sheriff up in Grafton county, who raided
farmers home a few days ago armed
with a search warrant for contraband
liquors, discovered new material, as
his search revealed eighty-hve bottles of
booze concealed in the snow which had
been used to bank up the house. This
material is claimed to make a house
warm both outside and inside, and there
is not patent on the process but it is
rather expensive for they fined the Graf
ton county farmer $50 and COSTS"

Reduction in Fire Losses

The campaign of education conducted
by Underwriters Associations against
preventable fires has borne fruit in the
largely reduced fire waste of last year.
The loss in 1915 was large enough. but
in comparison with records of previous
years considerable improvement is shown.
The total loss for the year in United
States and Canada was $1S2, $50, 200.
The difference in favor of 1915 is $685.
755, 100, and the fire loss last year was
the lowest for ten years. The record
must be examined back to 1905 to find a
better showing. In that year the loss
was SITS, 1913, 800. The loss by fire in
1914 amounted to 1886, 591.35O
One of the conclusions drawn from
these figures by the Journal of Commerce
which keeps careful record of'the fires
in this country and Canada, is that
people are becoming more careful as
result of the country wide campaign
which for the past few years has been
waged against preventable fires.
Every month last year. except three,
April, September and October, showed
an improvement over the corresponding
month of 1914. There is still room for
Improvement, but results already achiev-
ed are encouraging. The campaign of
education should be continued
