ly committed the act soon after going
to his room, some distance from the
main buildings, for the night, as when
called for breakfast the next morning
his lifeless body was found and de-
noted that he had died several hours
before. The deed was accomplished by
arranging q large calibre deer rifle
immediately in from of him with a
cord attached to the trigger, which
When pulled discharged the bullet in
to his body causing instant death.
He was brother of Fred and Hor-
ace. Tilden, OMners of tile resort and
had made his, home with them since
coming from hlgln, ILL., some Years
ago, and man that enjoyed the friend

viii Show at Madison.

At q meeting Of the Villas County
Agricultural society Monday night, it
was decided to make an exhibit al the
State potato show to be held at Mad
ison inNovember. Sec. Gunderson and
four farmers to be appointed by the
executive committee will accompany
the potatoes. and Judging from the
display at the county fair, should
come home with considerable bunch
of kale and will surely demonstrate
Villas county's adaptability to potato
raising to the complete satisfaction Of
everyone who attends the show.

Eagle River has borne a str onger

Today's Poem

The Gentle Man
He was far from rich in money, but
his smile was always sunny
and in joyous things and
funny he was struck to take
the lead:
He was slave to no ambition for
high and proud position,
gladness seemed to be his
mission, to be gentle was his
creed.
He knew birds and trees and posies,
knew the names of all the
roses, where the owl in day
time dozes and where turkeys
go to nest,
Though wise grown-ups used to
doubt him, all the children
round about him couldn't get
along without him, for they
knew him at his best.
He was not a spotlight seeker, not
a loud and forceful speaker,
he preferred to play a meek
er and gentler part on
earth.
He preferred to claim the blisses
that the money-chaser misses,
and he took his pay in kisses
from the ones who knew his
worth.
His philosophy was gladness and a
faith supreme in sadness, he
was patient with the badness
that he met along the way,
Than a great man he would faith
er, it was never too much
bother to get out with them
and play.
Now the grass is green above him,
sad the hearts that used to
love him, but men still are
speaking of him and his
many kindly years.
Now he needs no brave defender,
all the richness and the splen-
dor of his gentle life and ten
der we behold through falling
tears.
And / sometimes sit and ponder,
as | think of him off yonder
where the angel spirits wan
der, what a glorious world
'twould be
Were there more of US forsaking
the mad game of money-mak-
ing, gladness finding, glad
ness taking wheresoe'er we
chance to be.

When You Wake Up Drink Glass
of Hot Wafer

Wash yourself on the inside before
breakfast like you do on the outside.
This is vastly more important be-
cause the skin pores do not absorb
impurities into the blood, causing i'll
ness, while the bowel pores do.
For every ounce of food and drink
taken into the stomach, nearly an
ounce of waste material must be
carried out of the body. If this waste
material is not eliminated day by
day it quickly ferments and gener-
ates poisons, gases and toxins which
are absorbed or sucked into the blood
stream, through the lymph ducts
which should suck only nourishment
to sustain the body.
A splendid health measure is to
drink, before breakfast each day,
glass of real hot water with a tea
spoonful of limestone phosphate in it,
which is a harmless way to wash
these poisons, gases and toxins from
the stomach, liver, kidneys and
bowels; thus cleansing, sweetening
and freshening the entire alimentary
canal before putting more food into
the stomach.
A quarter pound of limestone
phosphate costs but very little at the
drug store but it is sufficient to make
anyone an enthusiast on inside-bath-

Business Men Eliminating Booze
From Meals

Golfers of January q contains
the following significant statement:
as it true that there is less drinking
by business men than used to be the
the habit? Here is bit Of evil
dence: The entire alcohol bill Of all
the lunchers and diners at the Ad-
vertising club of New York for re-
cent month was thirty dollars. There
we're something like 1000 regular
meals served in the club room during
those twenty-six working days, not
reckoning dinner parties. This makes
the average bill for booze not over
eigh-tenths Of a cent per person per
meal. In other words not over one
diner in forty took a drink with his
meal. We find these figures record
ed in a recent issue of New York
advertising journal-not a profess
sional organ Of temperance. We
pass them on to the young men of
other cities who can be trusted to
draw their own conclusions as to the
habits Of the successful members of
what is possibly the most modern and
progressive Of professions"

storage does not necessarily mean

fully handled cold-storage eggs often
are of better quality than fresh eggs

Home-Preserved Eggs
Housewives will often find it advan-
tageous to preserve their own eggs
in the home, purpurchasing them
when the supply is abundant, and
packing them in a solution of water
glass or lime water, or covering
them with paraffin or varnish. Such
eggs can be kept in good condition for
a number of months. For current
use fresh eggs usually can be kept
satisfactorily for two or three weeks

Sickroom Hints

Do not have patients bed face a
window, for even with the shade
down the light is likely to cause head
ache.
If the patient can not be removed
TO another room, use extra covers and
air the room thoroughly each day;
always have a little ventilation from
the top of the window, and more if
not uncomfortable.
Rest and sleep are no needful to
gain strength, that the patient should
not be awakened even for medicine,
unless the physician orders it.
The bed linen can thus be changed
without disturbing the patient much.
Fold the sheet in narrow, lengthwise
folds; roll the patient on his side and,
as you let out a fold of the clean
sheet, cover the edge of the bed on
the side toward the patients back.
and keep the soiled sheet showed
loose ahead Of the other, as you let it
out fold by fold, until the patients
back is reached; then roll him on to
the clean place, pull off the other and
finish placing the clean one.
The sheet can be protected by
placing a newspaper pad under the
patient, instead of using a draw-sheet
and understanding; the paper should
be left in its usual center fold, and
have old, soft and clean cloth sewed
over it.
Bathing in bed should always be
done under a blanket.
To avoid sweeping, wipe the floor
with damp cloth wrung from clean
water; in contagious diseases, put
creolin in the water.
Do not allow visitors if they excite
the patient
Arrange the food in pretty dishes,
in such amounts as will be eaten at
once. Do not serve food cold that
should be hot nor hard eggs or burn
ed toast.-Farm Journal.
