Proper
Care
OF Meat

The temperature in your
refrigerator is about 40
degrees.
Meat should be kept at
the same temperature
after you purchase it as
it was before.
Meat placed on your
back porch or on the win
ow ledge will rapidly de-
compose owing to the
quickly changing temper
ature.
Also, foodstuff placed
out of doors is apt to at
tract germs. Dust and
dirt will settle on it
through torn paper COW
ers, etc.
Keep your refrigerator
going all year round. 1t
is economical, also a pre-
ventative of disease.

ure OF Mayor Mitchell and the public

street railway officials to arbitrate
differences with their employees, found
this city tonight still in the grip of

JUDITH CAP MAN
DIES SUDDENLY
MAN SUPPOSED TO BE w. c. BALL
EXPIRES WHILE WAITING FOR
A PRESCRIPTION.
BURSTED BLOOD VESSEL the CAUSE

Between $50 and o'clock Friday
evening a man aged between As and
SO years. weighing about 100 pounds
died in the lavatory of the King-Fessel
pharmacy. Positive Identification was
impossible but he is presumed to be
M. c. or w. G. Ball OF Judith Gap.
Shortly before $40 Ball called at
the office of Dr.. j. p. Dunn and dur.
Ing the course of the examination in.
formed the doctor he was suffering
severe pains. The doctor discovered
unusually high blood pressure, and
the patient told OF former kidney
troubles.
After the examination DR.. Dunn
wrote prescription, and accompanied
Ball to the pharmacy where he left
him while he went to call upon other
patients. While waiting for the pre-.
scription to be filled, Mr.. Ball com.
planned OF a nauseous feeling and
asked that lie be directed to lava.
tory that he might vomit One OF
the clerks directed him to the lavatory
in the rear Of the store, returning to
the front and when Ball did not re.
turn within reasonable length of
time the clerk returned to the lava.
tory to find him IN an apparent faint.
The clerk at once tried to communi.
cate with DR.. Dunn but was unable to
locate him. DR.. Flynn, who has been
assisting DR.. Dunn for some time, re.
sponded to the call and after his ex.
animation pronounced Ball dead.
While no examination was made, it
Is presumed that death resulted from
bursted blood vessel caused by the
strain of vomiting.
