toner's and other persons, the same
as the Catholic people gave to the
Y. NJ C. A. war welfare fund during
its past campaign The money raised
is all for common cause. The work
of the knights has been heartily en-
dorsed by President Wilson, War
Sec'y Baker, Navy Sec'y Daniels and
the high clergy of the United States.
Wausau people are advocating a
"beerless' day in that city. From
the looks of the bay-windows some of
the citizens carry around they could
stand several such days every week.
Crandon has "beerless" day every
day-Crandon Republican.
You're mistaken, Brady, Wausau is a
healthy city and its citizens get fieshy
as a natural consequence. Wausau
does not need peerless" day but it
does want to set good example.
The old Riverside hotel, one of the
pioneer hosteleries in the city, located
on the corner of First and Jackson
streets, the lots and building lately
purchased by the city and to be added
to the property previously purchased
for public market purposes, is be-
ing wrecked by j. Christoferson of
Eau Claire. The timbers and lumber
used in the construction of this build
ing were manufactured from white
pine logs, the former hewn and the
latter muly-sawed and the doors, win
dows frames, cornice, ETC., made by
hand, and was erected about fifty
years ago. The first proprietor was
Thomas Hinton and the last was
David x. Brands. Some of the mater
ials are being disposed of here and
the timber and lumber is to be shipped
to Eau Claire for pattern making pur-
poses

EMMER E. LAMPERT NEAR
DEATHS DOOR
Explosion of Gasoline Badly Burns
Three Hunters-Taken to the
Hospital at Tomahawk

Early last week, Emmer Lampert of
Neenah, cashier of the State Bank
of that city; Bert Fitzgerald, lumber
man and banker; and Prof. H. T.
Schell Supt. of Schools of Toma-
hawk and a number of ladies, went
out to the Fitzgerald lumber camps,
twenty miles east of that city, for
weeks hunting. The gentlemen oc-
cupied one of the small camps by
themselves. They had hunted and up
to Thursday morning were success
full in shooting two deer and were
having the best kind of an outing inn
aginable.
The camp occupied by the men had
one room in which were beds and a
stove, and only one place of exit
through the main door. Mr.. Fitz-
gerald arose early Friday morning
and prepared to make fire in the
stove. After arranging the wood, he
took up what he supposed was can
of kerosene, but which was gasoline,
and poured some on the wood There
were Goals in the stove and the re-
suit was an explosion of the can,
which spread fire in every direction.
Messrs Lampert and Schell were in
bed, they jumped up and tried to
make their way to the door through a
mass of flames All but Mr.. Lampert
succeeded in getting out, though they
were badly burned. Mr.. Lampert was
overcome for a moment by the smoke
and fumes, but fiually managed to
crawl out on his hands and knees
being badly burned The men were
taken care of by the ladies until a
special train could be run out from
Tomahawk, and they were taken to
hospital in that city.
Word was received in Wausau Fri
day evening and at that time and
Saturday it was not certain whether
Mr.. Lampert would live. c. G. Krueg-
er of the First National bank went
to Tomahawk Sunday and returned
the same evening. He says the &C
count as above is ABOUT correct as
near as he could ascertain, and he
found Mr. Lampert's condition very
serious. He was badly burned on the
back of his hands, on his arms, face
and especially on his forehead anC
back. The doctor says that his ex-
cellent physical condition will prob
ably pull him through, but that il
will be month before he can possibly
get out, and still there is danger Of
infection which might terminate Iatal
". 1t is thought skin will have tC
be grated on hands, forehead anC
back of the patient.
There is great anxiety felt by Mr.
Lampert's hosts of Wausau friends
He had spent most of his life here ant
was with the First National bank, al
bookkeeper for about fifteen years ant
TWO years ago went u 4Neehdn " az

Small Savings

We are apt to smile when we hear
of woman saving of soap and water,
but why not, when both cost money.
We are advised that saving Of food
is more important than saving of
money, yet with more money we may
have more food. Many farm animals
have been sold to get needed money
that should have been saved to keep
up the supply.
Now that water meters are installed
we plan to use less, and still have
plenty. When fresh and cool water
is wanted we can save pail or two
for scrubbing, etc. Some allow the
water to run at night to prevent freez-
ing; this is unsafe, for the drain may
clog and rooms be flooded.
Our grandmothers would have thot
it a great extravaganza to buy soap
for washing clothes In the ordinary
home there was plenty of fat that
would otherwise go to waste. The
I've was made from ashes. Lots of
work, but a woman's time was not
considered in those days. 1t would
not pay us to do so now even if we
had the time, but we should all be
saving ashes. The Potash Factory,
phone 1921, furnishes cans, free of
charge, and their men will come for
the ashes and leave soap. You should
not put in any coal ashes, nor any
rubbish.
In washing clothes one needs plenty
of soap, but it need not be wasted.
For best results, soap should be dis
solved the day before into a jelly
like mass. This should be rubbed
we'll into the soiled spots after
wringing clothes out of warm water,
then lay closely in the tub, with
Just enough hot mot boiling) suds
to cover. let soak fifteen minutes,
when a little squeezing with the
hands or machine, after adding more
hot suds, will make them ready for
the boiling. The boiling suds must
also be treated to the dissolved soap
and other washing powder, if desired.
This way saves soap-time, and hard
work.
Toilet soap will be wasted if chill
dren are not watched; and we have
seen mothers lay the cake in the
wash bowl of water until it was
spoiled for further use, when little
on the cloth, put into the water would
be all-sufficient.
Much soap is not good for the baby
tender skin. Some nurses use almost
none. 1t should be the best obtain
able. however, and this reminds us
that we can gladly recommend DR..

BRITISH PREPARE
PROGRAM OF NEEDS
Eight Subcommittee Assemble
Data of Wants and Ways.

Although the needs of our allies
have been made known to officials OF
various branches OF the Government
in a general way through confer.
ences, a definite program OF co-opera.
ton on the part OF the United States
is to be drafted.
Eight subcommittee OF the Brit.
ish commission were busy today pre-
pairing a survey Of the situation and
assembling data relating to our
allies wants and the most eXpedI-
uous way of supplying them.
The program, which is being pre-
pared at the suggestion OF President
Wilson and members OF the Cabinet,
viii list all the war supplies our allies
look to this country to furnish. The
supplies are being scheduled In the
order Of their Importance or the
urgency of their need. With this
chart the Government will be able to
tell what production should be
speeded up first, what quantities are
needed, and within what time they
are desired.
1t is probable that the program
will be placed in the hands of mem
bers OF the central purchasing board,
which will spend In the United States
practically all the money which this
Government lends to Great Britain.

URGES NEED OF DISCIPLINE

That discipline is the thing most
needed in America today was the state
ment made In a speech before the wash

twentieth anniversary In Continental
Memorial hall. by the Rev. DR.. W. T.
Manning. rector OF Trinity Church. New

were held last night
In his speech. DR.. Manning brought
out the fact that Americans are more
adverse to discipline. even for their own
good. than are other people in the
world. He further stated that a test of
Americas willingness to discipline her
self. would be total prohibition during
the period OF the war.
