A BOOM FOR
GRAND RAPIDS.
Move to Organize Club for the DeveIope-
ment of Lake Biron as Summer Resort

close to nature as he wishes.
Here is a paradise for the lover OF
the great outdoors. What may it de-
velope into? Jump ahead a few years
and you will see the result of the
picnic that is going to be held on Sat
urday.
Starting with the enthusiasm arous-
ed by the picnic, many owners of autos
and boats leased lots on Long Island
and went up there evenings or hired
men to go and cut down the under
brush, some then built cabins, shacks
or cottages, others simply put ur tents
colony of outdoor lovers grew. Next
year more of the same thing was
done and it continued from year to
year. Some took friends from other
cities to this beauty spot, more lots
were developed and cleared up. AS the
popularity Of the resort continued to
grow, there sprang up desire to
have the islands connected by bridges
and to have a motor road built thru
the islands commencing at the south
ern end and by small rustic bridges
connecting the various islands, using
the old logging road on Long Island
and coming out on the main land again
just below Biron. This would make
motorists paradise.
The net result of all this is that in
a few years Lake Biron had become
household word all over the North
American continent as place in which
to spend the summer in the most de-
lightful manner possible. Grand Rap
ids was the mecca of resorters, hotels
grew up on the islands and in the
CITY.

THINGS WORTH KNOWING,

When making fancy or dust caps
rick-rack can be used to good adyan-
tage as an under facing for drawing
the rubber elastic through. III this is
done and small hook and eye placed
on end of elastic, the caps can be very
nicely and easily laundered, by remov-
ing elastic.
Before hemming table linen, if soap
is rubbed on the edges the hemming
will be done much easier and more
rapidly
AS no woman likes to put her hand
in grease to grease the bake pan, here
is the one thing that will do away with
that annoyance ACut small hole in
the can lid at the side, or cut and bend
back the lid just the size of the small
round handled brushes you get at the
5 and 10-cent store. Put the brush in
the can and it is always ready. The
brushes used do not need to be washed
out till can is empty, as there is moth
ing about a small round brush to get
rancid. Try this and see what a de-
light it is compared to the old rag or
fingers, to grease a pan.
w ucu lduuutEl ing uuSt caps LUdI dT6
made with rubber elastic in them, sew
rubber tight at beginning. then take
little safety pin, run rubber through
and, instead of sewing rubber tight at
end, just pin with the pin. When laun-
dering unfasten from cap, let pin on
rubber slide back; when through iron
ing draw rubber back in place and pin.
Cap will look like new.
To Preserve Cut Peonies, Etc.-Dip
stems of the fresh cut flowers in boil
ing water for five seconds, then put
them in cold water. This congeals the
sap in the stems, therefore sealing
them Dip as high up as the cold water
will come. Especially good for peonies
and Narge stemmed flowers.
Now that paint is so high priced, the
following may be of benefit: To one
gallon of soft hot water add four
pounds sulphate of zinc (crude). Let
it dissolve perfectly and a sediment
will settle at the bottom. Turn the
clear solution into another vessel. To
one gallon regular paint dead and oiD
mix one gallon of the compound, stir
into it the paint slowly for ten or, fif-
teen minutes, and the compound and
the paint will perfectly combine; if
too thick. thin it with turpentine. This
materially reduces the cost of paint
ing.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: have been
married Is years and have three chill
dren, two girls and boy. My husband
is as mean to me as he can be, and
also to the children. He curses us all
the time and never wants us to 60 any
place. He won't allow the children to
stay in the lower part of the house
when he is home. He makes them
work in all kinds Of weather and does
not allow anything to dress them or
me. My people have to keep us in
clothes and | work when | can get
1t to do. He makes me give him the
money. l do all my own work and
raise chickens and can fruit. | sew
and do all that a wife can do. There
are times when he comes home and
is mad and don't know what about
II he speaks at all he curses me. If
l answer him he tries to whip me-
Would you answer him back or take
his cursing and beatings for the sake
Of the children? l care for him and
try to make home pleasant and hap
py, but he won't let me have anything
to do with. My folks say they won't
help me while l live with him and
work and take his abuse. II | leave
him he says he will kill me. | try to
be kind to him, but he won't let me-
BROKEN HEARTED.
The law could probably straighten
out your husband if you would give it
a chance. If you report him to the
probate COURT it will see that he
contributes a reasonable amount of his
earnings to the support of you and
your children. You have sufficient
reason for a divorce, but since you
care for him you probably would
rather not resort to that. 1t is ex-
tremely silly for you to work hard and
then turn your earnings over to him
The very next time he curses or whips
you, report him to the law He will
not dare kill you. You owe it to your
children to make conditions in their
| home liveable Consider their inter
ests ahead of your own and your hus-
| bands.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: a. I am Is
years old and am in love with a boy
two years Older than myself. Is it all
right to kiss him good night? If not,
why not?

gagged. Would it be all right if we

Ditch Digging Extraordinary.

a French soldier with taste Tor
statistics has calculated the amount of
soil that has been moved in the work
of trench making. There are about
500 miles of first line trenches, stretch
ing all the way from the North sea to
Switzerland, and there are five or SIX
lines of trenches on each side. A to-
tai of 10 lines of trenches would give
about 5000 miles, and this, according
to the calculating soldier, means a
total excavation twice that of the Pan
ANA canal. And it has all been done by
hand labor with military shovels, and
much of it under fire by men who had
to work while lying on their stomachs.
