GALL BLONDS EAT CHEESE. +"
Are you a cheese eater?

Are you a cheese eater?
Do you eat your MONDAY wedge of
mince or apple pie with or without?
If it is with" it is a ten to one
bet that you are a blond, for all
blends eat cheese, according to one
of Marie Antoinette counter girls in
a Boston restaurant, the Globe Of
that city states.
This counter girl, besides being an
expert manipulation of the hot and
cold coffee and master of the mazes
of electric order buttons, is a close
observer and psychologist.
She says that after three years Of
close comparison of those who patron
ize her counter she has reached the
conclusion that cheese is the prefer
ence of blends. A few dark skin
ned and pirate like men may use
cheese, but the blends all partake, and
she suspects that brunette who asks
for the with" when ordering pie
either has blond strain or fair
haired sweetheart.

from the corner where she was busily

that they should never be fastened
to their curtain rods with pins, for
they invariably rust and leave ugly
marks upon the curtains. A good
substitute for pins is small wooden
tooth picks. They are firm and Sc
cure and do not hurt the curtains.
Then at the bottom OF each curtain,

height necessary, when sweeping or

FORMER DECORAHIAN DEAD.
Alfred Fluegel, Butcher Once i'm EN-
plOy of Fred Reum Passed
Away Last Week.

The many DEBORAH friends of AL.
fred Fluegel, butcher formerly in
the employ of Fred Reum, will be
sorry to hear of his death at West
Union last week. We take the follow.
ing from the West Union Gazette:
The death of Alfred Fluegel on
Monday morning came as shock to
the community. IT was not generally
known that he came home Saturday
from his work at Mabel, Mimi, suf-
fering from trouble in his head. II
was planned to take him Monday
forenoon to Iowa City to the hospital,
but he was dead before the time came
to go. He had been suffering with
headaches for year or more, being
i'll for the last month while at Ma
bel, and a post norton showed that
he had an abscess in the head. The
funeral was conducted from the home
at o'clock this afternoon by Rev. H.
&C.. Culver.
Mr.. Fluegel was born in New York
Sept. 23, 1877, and at death was aged
thirty-eight years, four months, and
enc day. He came to Dover township
in 1889. He was married Jan. l,
1900 to Miss Josie Johnson, who
with their little daughter Leona sur
wives him. They have lived in West
Union, Calmar, and DEBORAH, Mr.
Fluegel having been butcher for
several years. He was quiet, pleas
ant man, conducting himself towards
all in way to win their personal es-
TEEN. Mr.. Fluegel was a member OF
the German Lutheran church at FL
dorado, but since coming to West
Union the family affiliated with the
Methodist church. Mr.. Fluegel Is
survived by two brothers-one in
Brooklyn, N. Y, and one in Bergen,
N. j.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ben French, Mr.. and
Mrs. Robert Stendel, and Mr.. and
Mrs. Theo. Kelsey were here from Ell
dorado to attend the funeral today.

QUALITY BEFORE PRICE, JEF.
FIERY CAR ARGUMENT.
Manufacturer Declares COst-Cuttine
Campaign i'm America is
Ended.

Talking on the future of the auto
mobile business, Charles T. Jeffrey
president of the Thomas B. Jeffery
company Of Kenosha, Wis, stated
his belief that the era of price
slashing through which the industry
has been passing is at an end.
eve have always believed" said
Mr.. Jeffery, that the demand of the
American public was for high
grade quality automobile at mod
crate price. The American man
wants an automobile that will run
day in and day out for long time,
practically without attention. He
wants car which will be economi-
cal in it's consumption of gasoline
and oil and easy on tires. A. the
same time he does not want to be
skimped on size; he wants roomy
car in which his whole family can
ride comfortably.
Sales arguments as to the num-
Der of cylinders in the motor or the
particular kind of rear axle or fend-
er which a car should have do no.
appeal to him nearly so much as the
assurance Of dependable service.
This means quality, and we believe
that the manufacturer who skimps
quality in order to offer the public
a sensational price is making seri-
GUS mistake. The trend of the mo-
tor car business today in America
lis against low prices without quality
Competition is compelling every
manufacturer to produce ohe best car
possible for the least money. The
public will not pay an excessive price.
but the public does demand quality.
and the fact that an increasing mum
Der of moor car manufacturers are
talking quality is evidence of the
very healthy condition of the indus
try"
The Jeffery car is sold in Decorai,
by .. A. Bergan, and he just got a
! load of new models in last week, and
they can be seen at his garage or

North McGregor, la T, Jan. 81
The conservation of the muskrat OH
the upper Mississippi river and its
branches is being urged in this sec

methods are necessary to prevent
the complete extinction of the musk
rat. In a radius of twenty-five miles
around the cities of North McGregor

trappers are at work. The fur of the
muskrat along the upper Mississippi
is said to be finer than that OF the
