PatrOnize Your Home
Creamery.

A meeting held last week for the
purpose of enthusing more life and "a
better cream patronage for the local
creamery, was we'll attended we're
told, and the purpose fairly we'll ac-
complished Some farmers not real
izing that they were working direct
ly contrary to their own interests had
been helping to support creameries
in other towns, and counties. 1t
should not be necessary to warn
against the folly of starving the To-
Cal plant to build up the foreign con-
Germs. AS far as the slight advance
in price paid per pound for. butterfat
goes we are not afraid to say that as
a rule it simply means robbing Peter
TO pay Paul. In other words, as the
price of butterfat advances, a cores
ponding decrease in test takes place.
IF not in that of the long distance
patron then the other fellow is most
likely getting his. oother one in
dustry means so much to- Eagle River
and the surrounding country, as the
difference between a dead creamery,
and live one, and every FARMER,
and every BUSINESS MAN should
cooperate in making the Eagle River
plant one of the latter kind.
In some respects we fear the bust
ness management is not doing every
thing possible to encourage and en-
large the cream receipts. Here's an
instance: Having occasion to cash a
check for a Villas county farmer the
other day, and discovering it was
from creamery in another state, we
asked why he did not ship to Eagle
River? He replied that until two
months ago, he always had, but that
as it never sent him quotations re-
garding prices present or future, he
changed to one that sent them twice
a month. If it pays others to do SO,
why wouldn't it pay plant that
surely needs all the cream it can get?

mons would seem 20 indicate that IN

impossible for them 20 sing, although

This erroneous notion seems 70 be
rather widely spread and is responsible

he has complied with these three de-
mands.
People should remember that the
sound produced by the vocal cords
alone is very faint, and that its audi

mouth and nose. Diminish any OF these
spaces by contracting the tongue or
other swallowing muscles, or cut or

do. BY raising the soft palate, and the
voice will not have the fulness, rlch-
ness and carrying power that Nature
intended for it. The person who WILL
cultivate the habit OF speaking and
singing with the utmost relaxation OF
throat and mouth, not compelling, or
forcing, or shaping, but allowing the
voice perfect freedom to pass into the
nasal cavities as well as to come out
OF the mouth, will be surprised in the
course of time at the gain of smooth
moss and resonance. Not only need

Tips Cost More Than the Hat.

1t is probable hat few men in New
York of the great number who con
stantly p%atronize hotels, restaurants
and theaters have any idea Of the sum
of money they spend annually in tips.
The statement Of the manager of a
large New York hotel that a mar of
his acquaintance found that in five
months he paid So in tips for a hat
that had cost him 81 gives some idea
of this drain upon the average mans
income.
So lucrative is the checking priv
lege in popular restaurants and SINH
lar places that the work is frequently
let out by competitive bidding, without
expense to the proprietor. But the
public pays, as in everything else.
No man objects to tipping a waiter
for good service while at table, but
that a boy or a girl should get a
quarter-and in many places a less
sum stamps II a "piker'-for the
mere service of hanging up a hat and
then handing it back when the check
is presented seems a bit too much.
Maybe some day a wise manager will
abolish this abuse and see that the
persons who come to his place get
proper service without the additional
tarih.-New York Telegram.

Austria selzes Church Bells.

Austria is rapidly losing it's church
bells, as the military authorities are
everywhere carrying them off to be
melted down for munitions. 1t is es-
tinated that at least two-thirds Of the
whole number will be taken, including
many famous and historical bells, al
though it was said at first that all
these would be left. Of the eight bells
in the well-known convent church at.
Admont five have been taken, and in.

est Of three has been left. From Mar

BENEFACT0R OF HUMAN RACE
Sir James Simpson Was the First
Physician to Use chIoroform in
Surgical Gases.

The recent death Of Sir Alexander
Simpson, the famous Edinburgh doc
tor, brings to mind the wonderful dis
covery of his uncle, Sir James Simp-
son his predecessor us professor OF
midwifery in the chair of Edinburgh
university. Sir James, ii lot actually
the %discovcrer of chloroform, was at
any rate, the first to introduce its en-
ploynent as an ~anesthetic into ur'
gical practice. This vas in l848.
Previously all operations were per-
tent being dragged with whisky and
held down by strong men while The OPP
GRAFTON was performed. No medical
discovery ever did more to alleviate
human suffering.
Sir James is generally given credit
for the actual discovery Of chlofo-
eorm, but it is stated in, some works
| that it was discovered some years pre-
yious to his first experiments by an
American doctor named Guthrie anG
,, by a French physician named Sou
beiran. In any Ease it was Doctor
Simpson who proved its great value
as al anesthetic, ard the room ip
which he made his first experiment
still exists in Edinburgh.
The story goes that he tried the
chloroform on himself and two m1edi-
cal friends. They proved its efficacy
by simultaneously falling beneath the
table. Sir James had considerable
%prejudices to overcome before chloro:
form was adopted generally by the
medical profession, it being denouncee
at one time as dangerous to health
morals and religion.
