CANCER CAUSES DEATH.

Rev. and Mrs. c.. G. Holm have re-
turned from Minneapolis, where they
went to attend the funeral of Raymond
& uetzmacher, whose death occurred
in that city recently.
Mr.. Gruetzmacher was quite well
known in this city, many people here
having met him when he appeared
before New Ulm audiences in leading
parts in the plays presented by the
University Lyceum players, during Uni
versity week last June. At that time
he was the guest of Rev. and Mrs.
Holm, and before leaving for home he
made an automobile trip with Mr.. Holm
to several places in the county, at which
time he complained Of a pain in one
OF his legs. A medical examination
later proved that cancer had developed.
Several surgical operations were per-
formed, and finally the leg was ampu-
tated in the hope of saving the young
mans life, but to no avail and week
ago death relieved him of his suffering.
He was % years old, and was the son
OF Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Gruetzmacher
of Minneapolis. t...

CONTINUED STORMS HELP TO
TIE UP FREIGHT TRAFFIC IN
WEST"

The American Railway. Association
has decided upon new plan for handling
the car7shortage problem. which for
months has been the bane of existence
for railroad man and shippers. A COM
mission of five is to be appointed that
will have plenary powers to cooperate
with the Interstate Commerce Com
mission in the. administration of new
set of car service rules, adopted with a
view to solving the car shortage problem.
This was decided at a meeting of the
association the latter part of the week.
Submitted to Railroads.
The new rules have been submitted to
the railroads of the country and it is
expected they will be approved at once.
The commission will deal with all car
service problems until May L. The new
rules provide, among other things, for
the forwarding to destination of foreign
cars under load and the prompt handling
OF empty foreign cars within certain pro-
visions said to be calculated to relieve
the present situation. ...'--
The new rules, which become effective
February Fl, are based upon per diem
rules also effective on that day. In a
circular letter to the railroads the asso-
citation asks that the committee of five
be given power to make such necessary
notifications in the rules as may be re-
quired to prevent undue hardships.
Storms Tie Up Traffic.
Added to the car shortage the shippers
and railways of the northwest, and es-
pecially of this part of the country, have
the storms to contend with, which have
practically tied up freight traffic for the
past two weeks. But little freight is
moving at all these days and with present
conditions, which are likely to continue
for most of the balance of the winter, the
prospect is anything but bright. Even
with plenty of cars at their disposal
business, and especially that which has
to depend on the freight traffic, must
of necessity be tied up at intervals for
several weeks.
The snow is piled so high that the cuts
are quickly filed in with every storm of
any note, and traffic again cut off. i,

REV. ]. h. NAUMANN
DIES IN II ST. PAUL
HEAD OF BOARD OF DIRECTORS
OF MARTIN LUTHER COLLEGE
PASSES AWAY. ~
END COMES SUDDENLY AT HIS
HOME, FROM A STROKE OF
APoPLExY.

Many people in this community were
shocked Monday by telephone mes
sage announcing the sudden death
early that morning, of the Rev. Justus
H. Naumann, president of the Evangeli-
cal Lutheran Synod of Minnesota, and
alse chairman of the board of directors
of the DR.. Martin Luther College of
/ this city,. Mt. Naumann eWas stricken
by an attack of apoplexy while engaged
in conversation with his brother-in-law
at his home in St. Paul. He was so
years of age. WI -.
Well Known Here.
Mr.. Naumann was especially well
known in this city from his connection
with the local college, he. having been
a member of the Board of Directors
for more than ten years, and chairman
of that body for the past four and a
half years. He visited New Ulm in
connection with that office at least
once month and frequently much
oftener. His last visit here was on
Saturday, January 81, having stopped
over while on his way to the west on
business in connection with the synod.
He was apparently in excellent health
at that time. He had always been an
active and very robust man. He was
still in the prime of life, and had not vet
reached his So birthday, which would
fall on March 18th of this year. -.
Mr.. Naumann had long been very
active in church work. He began his
ministerial career at Wolsey, South
Dakota. when a young man. His
next passionate was at Gibbon,' Mimi,
after which he was located at Wood
Lake and still later at Goodhue. From
there he went to St. Paul, on becoming
identified with the DR.. Martin Luther
College. He was also assistant pastor
OF the Emanuel Lutheran Church at
West st. Paul, in addition to his duties
in connection with the college.
-. Daughters in College Here. >
Mr.. Naumann leaves, besides his
wife, one son and two daughters. The
former. is student at the Northwestern
Lutheran College at. WATERFOWL, Wis,
while the latter two, the Misses Hedwig
and Catherine, are students at the
local college. Prof. .Ackermann, presi-
dent of the college, received telephone
message Monday afternoon, apprising
him of Mr.. Naumann's death, and ar
rangements were at once made for the
Misses Naumann to leave for their
home at St. Paul, but owing to the rail-
way blockade they were detained until
this morning.
The funeral will be held Thursday
afternoon at l o'clock. Prof. Ackermann
and several of tie local Lutheran clergy
men are expeAsd to leave for St. Paul
this afternoon to attend the services.
The services will be conducted by Rev. C.
Gausewitz of Milwaukee, President of
the Joint Synod and Rev. j. Schaller,
President of the Theological Seminary at
Wauwatoosa. Poi. Ackermann will read
the Obituary. The body will be taken
to Wood Lake for burial.

ent season evening gowns seem often
to be added as a mere afterthought, so

THE TEA WE DRINK.

More and more we are coming to ap-
preciate the value of tea as a beverage.
But it takes quite q little persistence
properly At least that is the opinion
Of most English folk, who look upon
our drinking manners with some
thing of surprise and amazement.
As in drinking stronger beverages,
we know too little moderation. We
drink tea us we drink whisky, either
not at all or somewhat to excess. 1t
takes the calm-nerved Britou to take
just enough and not a drop too much.
And it is because the Briton knows
Just how to drink tea that he can sip
1T apparently from morning to night
without feeling any undue stimulation
to his nerves as a result. For one thing,
he does not drink ii so strong as do
most Americans, and he drinks 1t slow
ly and leisurely. With good many
Americans tea is taken in the after
noon as nerve Stimulant to make it
possible to press on for another hour
or before tire day is done. Then it
is taken strong, and in haste. But the
English. though they are good for an
hour or more longer in the afternoon
because of their tea, take 1t with so
much leisureliness that 1t is a source
of much reStfulnesS as well as OF Stim-
ulation to drink it.
And Of course, the Englishwoman of
the better class knows how to make
ten and knows how to instruct her cook
to make tea better than do most wom-
en- of this country. 1t is simple, yet
so exacting-this task of brewing. tea

Chatterer Learns to Have
Sympathy.

To have sympathy Is to feel sorry for
others. Chatterer the Red Squirrel
never knew what it was to have sym
pathy for others. He always said that
If people got into trouble it was no
business of his. and if they went hun
cry 1t was their own fault. OF course.
he knew that very often in bad win
ter weather some of his neighbors often
went hungry a great deal of the time,
but he used to say that it served them
right for not laying up a store Of food
as he did. So he never had any SYM
pathy for them. You see Chatterer
is something of scatter-brain That
Is. he seldom does any real thinking.
He never had stopped to think that
there might be a reason why Tommy
Tit and Drummer the Woodpecker and
Peter Rabbit and Reddy Fox and a lot
more of his neighbors couldn't store
up food as he did. He used to turn up
his nose and say it was because they
were too lazy or didn't know enough.
You know and I know and IL he had
stopped to really think. Chatterer
would have known that it was and is
because these others live on food that
cannot be stored away as corn and nuts
So. because he never had had to go
very. very hungry Chatterer had not
learned to have sympathy for others.
But he was to learn now. You see
when he awoke the morning after the
terrible experience when the hollow
limb In which he had made his home
was broken of and blown to the
ground, where it broke in two again,
he couldn't imagine at first where he
was. He lay there blinking for a min
ute or two and then 1t all came back
to him, the terrible fright he had had
and the dreadful thing that had hap
pened to his house. He scrambled to
his feet. and. as usual, the first thing
he thought of was something to eat.
His stomach was empty. Right then
he realized fully what fix he was in.
The piece of the hollow limb in which
he was was not very big and there
wasn't SO much as a grain Of corn or
q single nut there. All his splendid
store of food had been in the other
part of that hollow limb and where
that was now he hadn't the least idea.
For q long time he sat thinking,
wondering what he had best do. and
all the time his stomach kept feeling
emptier and emptier. Sitting still
won't get me anything" said he at
last I'm not afraid Of snow, 20
guess I'll dig my way out and see what
l can find"
He went to work with a will and
dug his way out and up. but the in
stant he poked his head out of the
snow it was to have his breath snatch
ed away and binding little icy paru-
cles driven into his face so that he

Then the hot water must be poured
away and the tea must be added, ana
1t takes experience and precision to
know just how much tea should be used
for the teapot in question. Then the water
should be poured over the leaves
and the teapot must actually be taken
to the place where the teakettle IL
boiling, SO that the water will go on
the leaves when it has not been cooled

Then it must be served very promptly
within five minutes Of the time the
water has been poured over tho leaves.
All this Is much trouble, and II means,
when you drink tea much, a continual
fussing with the teapot. But to the
Briton who really appreciates good
cup of tea all this seems like a small
task. and as we gradually become moro
appreciative of this most aromatic of
beverages we shall share that feeling.
1t must be admitted that in small
English inns the tea is usually much
stronger than tea that most Of US
drink at home-much stronger and
strongly suggestive of boiled con-
coction Of herbs of bitterness.

just had to trust to luck, and luck was
very much against him.
After awhile he had to stop oftener
to, rest. His tunnels, grew shorter and
shorter. But he Is plucky. is Chat
terer, and he kept at 1t just as long
as he could. His stomach fairly ache1
from emptiness and at last he was so
tired and discouraged that he had to
give up. 49,.
II wonder IL anybody ever was as
hungry as I am" ne, thought miser-
ably. That reminded him of Tommy
Tit and Drummer. the Woodpecker and
Peter Rabbit and others of his friends
and suddenly it came over him that
they must be quite as helpless as he
in this dreadful storm and that some
OF them doubtless had been without
food longer than he had. MY gracious.
I'm sorry for them"' he exclaimed right
out loud. Il never understood before
why it was they dreaded storms SO.
but know now. I certainly am sorry
for them IL they are as hungry as I
am. and 1 guess they are" And so it
was that Chatterer learned to have
sympathy.

was glad to shut his eyes and duck
down again. The storm was not yet
over.
"Phewl" he gasped 'I can't go out
there. What shall do now? Perhaps
I can find the other part of my hollow
limb IL dig for II. I'll try it anyway"
Now. Chatterer is no shirk. He Is a
good worker. as everybody knows. SO
he set to work to dig little tunnel
in the snow. The trouble was he didn't
have the least idea in which direction
to dig and 1t happened that he chose
the wrong direction. For a long time
he dug, but 1t was in vain. Then he
went back to his broken mousse to resi-.
Working like that had made him still
more hungry. You know 1t is very,
very hard to work on an empty stom-
ach. When he felt a little rested he
started to dig in another direction and
was no more successful than before.
You see he had nothing whatever to
guide him down there in the snow. He

Household Notes.

To remove a rusty screw apply a hot
iron to its head for a few minutes
and then remove it in the usual way
with screwdriver. The screw will
then come out easily.
Both water and chamois should be
clean and the water should be changed
as often as 1t becomes cloudy. A soft
cloth moistened in alcohol and rubbed
on glass adds luster to 1t.
Breadboards and other wooden uten-
sils may be kept white and stainless
by scrubbing with soap and 1ukewarm
water, to which may be added a little
common soda or household ammonia
Two quarts Of soup will serve from
six to eight persons.
One medium sized loaf of bread will
make twenty three-cornere sand
wiches or ten large squares.
A nail, IL IT has first been stuck in a
cake of soap. may be easily driven into
hard wood. The same treatment ap-
plies also to a screw.
An excellent substitute for cloths In
window washing is an old newspaper
or chamois skin, which should be
wrung from the water and passed rap
idly over the glass.
