day Near Rock House.

What sportsmen say is one Of the
prettiest animals bagged here recently
was the one shot by B. f. Wells north
of the Rock House on the Rickreall
Sunday. Mr.. Wells and his sons, vii
bur and Lester, were pleasantly sur
prised when the deer appeared, but
there was no recurrence of buck ague
as the beautiful head Mr.. Wells was
displaying yesterday proved. The
head of the four pointer will be
mounted.

In a recent letter to newspaper sug-

Apropos OF the suggested tax on cats,
he says: In place OF taxing cats,
would urge the government to organ
ize, not after the war, but now, fully
equipped and efficient department for
the determination of rats, and employ
wounded soldiers to do the mechanical
part Of 1t. The systematic breeding,
collecting and distributing Of types
Of cats known to be superior ratters
would comprise an important section
of the work, but, to make clean
sweep Of tho most destructive animal
pest from which the country groans,
much light labor and personal super
vision, and good deal Of simple lab
oratory work under scientific expert
guidance would be necessary. BY this
means many men whom the country
will be in duty bound to support, might
find congenial employment, not to men,
ton tho saving to the country OF an
enormous sum Of taxable wealth.

SUPPLY OF RUNNING WATER
Pedal Attachment for Waahstands 10
the Latest Contrivance to Insure
Purity Of Liquid.

Hot or cold water flows from the
same spigot and tho handles on the
washstand faucet have been rendered
obsolete by new arrangement, which
provides a foot control for the flow of
water Sanitary cleanliness Is the
prime object of the new arrangement
but convenience is also an important
consideration.
In the state Of Illinois it Is COM
pulsory to supply running water in
factories and such places, and SINH
lar measures have been enacted or
are under consideration in other
states, the object being to prevent
the contamination which is likely to
occur when the washstand Is used
in common. The pedal attachment Is
placed under the washstand few
inches inside of the front line and to
one side, preferably the right side,
and connections are made with two
valves located under the washstand.
The location Of the pedal is con-
venient to the foot and the pressure
exerted in the center of the pedal
causes mixture to issue from the
sp1got, while If the foot Is shifted to
the right or left the temperature is
made hotter or colder as desired.

The skeleton Of the story, as II IS

should not take the threatening tone OF
the note too seriously, thst part of IT
