The determination of Luther's win

The viking warriors fought for some
time without any definite results.
Streeter commenced the scoring by
a free throw, then another SHORTY

succession before the "Oles'' realized
that he was a dangerous little man.

harder than ever Wikre shot a pref

ease added four more points to the
score. But before the half was over

SMALL FIRE SUNDAY NIGHT.
Timely Discovery of Blaze in Kjome
~ Lynne's Cellar Prevents
Bad Fire.

Sunday night about ten o'clock
fire in the basement of Kjome ~
Lynne's grocery store on the corner
of Main and Washington streets was
discovered just in time to prevent
what might have been a disastrous
fire, from a small explosion from an
oil stove.
Mr.. and Mrs. Emil Rosenthal and
daughter were on their way home
from visit with friends and they
discovered the fire. DR.. Hexom was
on the scene a few moments later.
he noticed the bright light in the
basement from The poStofice corner.
An alarm was Immediately sent IN
and the fire department arrived n
a few minutes. A crowd had con-
gregated and some wanted to break
the windows in but MIR. Rosenthal
prevented this. Elmer Samuelson
who clerks in the store arrived
shortly after the alarm was sounded
and the doors were opened on the
ground floor and Mr. Samuelson ana
| Herman Teslow made an effort to
get into the basement, but the smoke
was so dense they couldn't venture
in. They finally secured rope and
| Mr.. Samuelson tied it around his
waist and CROPPED his way in TO
where the oil stove was and carried
it out. The fire had caught onto a
barrel containing bottled vinegar
and had burned several Of the slaves
out. A couple Of pals of water put
the blaze out, and the department
did not have to turn on any water
although the fire boys were there
and ready for any emergency.
The oil stove no doubt had a de.
fective wick; it didn't explode, but
the draft door in front blew off
which let the flames shoot out, and
connected with the dry slaves in the
barrel of vinegar.

For perspiration, use boiling water.
Soak fresh fruit stains in milk.
Use .%turpentine or benzine to re-

Milk, sweet or sour, will take out

also good. For small stains, wash
with rice water instead of soap.
Treat coffee stainsf with boiling

Mildew is a kind of mold and most

Egg stained table linen should be

Most fruits contain from rs to 95

woody fiber or cellu1bse, fruit sugar

Eat fruit every day. Canned fruits
are good. Cooked fruit is often better
than dubious fresh fruit, but some
fresh fruit is essential.
Vegetables are among the most val

the consumption Of flesh foods should

vegetables, especially those Of bulky

They feed on the lower surface Of

offensive looking animals, Ga on
many plants there are hundreds Of
them. Mr.. Schlenvogt advocates the
use of the following solution, which to
be effective must be applied with a
sprayer, in order to form a film yer
the entire plant, and in that way reach
all Of h surface: One-half pound Of
cheap tobacco soaked in one gallon of

is added one part of kerosene. If APP

HERE ARE SIMPLE, WARM WEATHER WAYS
TO CLEAN STAINS OUT OFSCLOTHING

To clean a soiled lace yoke or col
lar, rub powdered starch into the
lace, put aside for several hours, then
brush and shake. The starch absorbs
the grease which holds the Crime.
To clean white sweaters and other
white wooden goods without washing,
rub thoroughly in corn meal and salt,
and set aside over night. Brush and
hang in the shade to freshen.
Rain water and soap will remove
machine oil from washable fabrics.
Clean children's white shoes with a
paste made Of milk and whiting.
A mixture of salt and -four will re-
move mud stains.
To wash silk garments so they
will not turn yellow, add a table,
spoonful of wood alcohol to every
quart of water used in rinsing.
