Water stem for Farms

Every farm is not blessed
with springs that can be taken
to the house by gravity system"
says Chas. G. McLain, drainage
engineer Of the Pennsylvania
Department of Agriculture,
"Oftentimes the buildings are
so located that the springs are at
a lower level, then some other
system must be employed. 1t is
necessary to elevate the water
some way. Possibly the first in
use was the windmill running
the pump to elevate the water
to a tank, to be distributed to
buildings. There is also the
pressure tank system the forcing
Of water into a large tank under
air pressure and then forced to
the different places by air press
ure. There is also the smaller
tank in the attic supplied by a
hydraulic ram the tank having
an overflow to take care of the
excess water.
ANY of the systems are good
and can be used to advantage.
1t d epends largely on your own
condition which is the best to
use and that can only be deter
mined by an inspection of the
conditions.
THE luxury of a water system
soon pays for it all and the ad-
ded pleasure of many steps saved
and the easing of the work for
the good wife. Not only the relief
from pumping and carrying wat
er but the added pleasure of
thinking that it means better
health and possibly more years
of pleasant life on the farm.

Correction.

In regard to the play given on
the 22nd of February, last weeks
town papers seemed to leave some
in doubt by whom the Old New
Hampshire Home was given.
The article stated it was given
by the Dramatic Club and the
proceeds given to the Civic Club.
So that there may be no misun-
derstanding this correction is
made. The play was gotten up
by the Civic Club, instead of by
Dramatic Club, as that organiza-
tion was not in existence until a
week after the play was given;-
but some of the characters in the
play have since that time organ
lied into the d. G..
AS the play originated from
the Civic Club, naturally the pro-
ceeds belonged to that club to be
used for the towns improvement
as stated before.
Everybody is glad to know
there is a Dramatic Club in the
town, because we believe there
is a need for such an organiza-
tion and they should be encour-
aged in their undertaking by CO.
operation from all of us; yet,
there are prior rights to be re-
cognized. The Civic Club feels
it is an infringement upon their
rights for the Dramatic Club to
repeat their play and take all
proceeds to be used as they see
fit; without consulting them, es-
pecially, so as it was well known
to them that it was the intention
of the Civic Club (by the consent
of those who had a part in it) to
give the play again either here
or elsewhere.

Hotel Burned.

The Eagle Hotel at Fort Little
ton was totally destroyed by fire
on Wednesday afternoon of last
week. 1t was owned by Charlie
Whitsel, who conducted it as a
hotel until license was refused a
year ago. when he closed the
house and went out to his farm.
At the time of the fire the house
was occupied by DeKalb Wilt.
This was one of the most pop
ular hostleries on the State Road.
In 1868 the late Michael Wilt
bought the property and remodel
ed the building suitable for hotel
purposes and it has been in con-
tinuous operation under differ
ent managements as a licensed
hotel from that time until a little
more than a year ago when on
application of Charles Whitsel
license to sell liquors was refus-
ed.
For years this had been a pop
ular hostelry supplying a public
demand, and was favorably
known to residents and travellers.
One tragic event occurred in
the old hotel a few years ago
when John Husler was shot by
the lessee, Miller Jones, in an at
tempt to subdue a riot. Husler
died from the bullet wound but
Jones was acquitted.
The building carried some in

Gas Plant Blew Up.

Edwin Milton Hollar, a native
of Franklin County, was killed at
his home a few miles southwest
of Custer. Okla, a few days ago.
His house is lighted with an
acetylene gas system, and while
no one saw the accident, it is be-
lieved he was examing the tank
located outside the dwelling, and
was attempting to remove the
lid of the casing containing the
tank, when the explosion took
place. His face and head were
badly crushed and he lived but
twenty minutes after the acci-
dent. His friends think the ex-
plosion was the result of an over
charge. This is not a good the
ory as modern plants are provid-
ed with an escape pipe to lead
off any overcharge automatically.
The main caution to be observed
with an acetylene light plant is
not to take an open flame near
it. Don't work about the tank
with matches in your pocket.
Use a flash light if your tank is
in a dark place,

Eye Injured.

Last Monday morning tn e
ground was covered with a
heavy fall of snow that interfer-
ed with much of the regular work
about a farm, and a boy must do
something. So, Earl OFT, son of
William OFT near Back Run,
thought it would not be a bad
time to practice shooting at a
mark. These are war times,
you know, and it is well enough
to know how to shoot.
For some reason or other, there
was a premature explosion of a
cartridge, and a silver went into
one of Earl's eyes. He came to
town and DR.. Mosser dressed the
injured optic, which fortunately
was not hurt as seriously as it
might have been.
Evidently Earl was not shoot
ing like a woman or he would
have had both eyes shut.

RECORD OF DEATHS.
Short Sketches Of the Lives Of Per.
sons Who Have Recently
Passed Away.
SOLOMON COMERER,

| OO6SuiON SOMENEhs
Mrs. Susan Myers, East Lin
coin Way, recei we'd telegram
last Saturday, conveying the sad
message of the death of her SON.
in-law Mr.. Solomon Comerer at
his home in Clay Center, Kansas.
1t was known here by his friends
that he had been in declining
health but the news of his death
caused a shock to his many rela-
tives and friends.
The deceased was the only
child of Daniel and Eve Comerer
and he was born in Ayr township
July 6, 1852; hence he was aged
Ga years, Z months and 25 days.
On his 24th birthday, he was
united in marriage to Miss Lizzie
daughter of j. Thompson Myers
(deceased) and Susie Fox Myers,
and lived on the old home farm
in the Cove until about thirty
years ago when they went to
Kansas. Mr.. and Mrs. Comerer
visited their relatives and friends
here about seven or eight years
ago.
Solomon was chock full Of
music and became a most pro-
ficient band master and orchestra
leader. He is a cousin of our
townsmen John, Henry and Will
lam Comerer, and of Mrs. Lou
Jackson, Mrs. Fred Black and
Mrs. Nick Roettger.
Solomon is survived by his
wife and one married daughter.
MRS. HARVEY SEVILLE.
Rhoda, wife of Harvey Seville,
near Cito in Ayr township, died
last Sunday forenoon, aged about |
81 years. The funeral services
conducted by Rev. Ed Jackson, |
of the M. E. Church took place
Monday afternoon and interment
was made in Union cemetery. |
Mrs. Seville's death was un-
expected. She had been appar-
emily well as usually until the
of her death when she
became indisposed and in a few
few minutes passed away.
The deceased was a daughter
Of Jacob (deceased) and Lucinda
Clevenger. She is survived by
her husband and five children,
who have the sincere sympathy
Of the community in the loss of a

checking the natural growth of
our people both in mind and in
body.
The excessive eating of pota-
toes so often taken at a meal
simply as a matter of habit when
there are other starchy foods
and sugar in the meal to supply
the same want, causes a catarrh-
al condition of the digestive
system, thereby preventing the
normal working of the glands of
digestion. Gradually a diseased
condition of the organs of diges-
ton results and this prevents
natures process of preparing
food for assimilation. Conse-
quently the system has to absorb
the waste products and a gradu-
al starvation and poisoning is
the result.
From babyhood and childhood
up, we Americans indulge in an
excess of starchy foods. A we'll
rounded diet demands starch
along with meat and fat of course
but we indulge in an excess of
starch and the habit often con-
tinues through adult life.
Raw potatoes contain about 80
per cent. of water, and in skin
ming and eying we lose of an av-
erage about 10 per cent. of the
raw potato. The baking of pota-
toes causes less loss and produces
the most wholesome preparation
for human consumption that can
be made of the vegetable.
What does this suggest with
the potato in the limelight and
its cost out of all proportion to
its real value? The answer is
that its use can not only be cut
down toa normal proportion of
the diet for those who like its
taste, but it can be entirely re-
placed by other foodstuffs which
would supply starch in even
greater quantities.
Potatoes have 1S parts to the
of starch and sugar (car
bohydrates); jellies and MARINA
ladies', 60 to 80 parts; rice, 70;
buckwheat and barley, "; homi-
ny, 76; cracked wheat. rs: ma
caroni and spaghetti, "a; raisins
6S; oatmeal, 67; toast, 66; beans,
60; bread so to 60; chocolate, 30;
canned peas, 9; dried peas. 62.
In raisins the carbohydrates
are mostly of the soluble variety
known as sugars. In all the 9TH
er foods mentioned the carbohy-
drates present is mainly starch.
With these things in mind it is
not hard to think of the potato
being knocked off its pedestal,

Block Factory Bus.

A visit over to Smith g. Ohlson's
cement block factory Wednesday
demonstrated that the plant has been
much enlarged since starting last
year. Now a gasoline engine drives
the mixer, and force pump for wet
ting down the blocks while in the
curing stage. Two machines were
turning out a block apiece every half
minute. Corner, chimney and porch
blocks, in fact the whole material
for an everlasting building of any
kind can be secured there. A brick
machine is on the way here which
will still further increase the capaci-
ny of output Ten men are on the
pay roll and sufficient orders booked
TO insure their keeping busy until
cold weather. The future business
outlook promises well financially for
the proprietors, while the value Of
the plant as an important asset to
Eagle Rivers manufacturing resour-
ces is already proved.

FRANK TAMBLING.


Frank rambling, one Of the Eagle
River pioneers was found dead in the
boat house at Donald Frasers sum-
mer home on Otter Lake, Wednesday
Mr.. rambling was fixing the place up
for summer use and was evidently
stricken with heart failure while
taking his noon day rest.
He was born at Stockholm, N. Y.
Il years ago but had been resident
ofWisconsinnearly all his life He en-
listed early in the course of the Civil
War and served under Sheridan. At
the close of the war he engaged in
numbering in Wisconsin pineries just
as that business began to develop
fast and for many, years was one Of
the prominent loggers Of this part OF
the stat. He was married to Merilla
Wilds in 1881, and the same year came
to Eagle River which at that time
was d dense pine forest. After re-
moving the timber he plotted d large
part of the village and as evidence OF
his public enterprise the Court House
Town Hall and one or more of the
churches stand on land donated by
him for that purpose. After the
zenith of pinery days had passed he
built and operated for some years the
Hemlock Resort, and since that time
has been in the boat building and
general carpenter business. He was
a man Of excellent habits, energetic
in all ways and a man that will be
greatly missed by Eagle River.
Besides his wife he leaves half
sister in Illinois, and a niece, Miss.
Margaret Ryan of Wausau.
Funeral services will be held this
afternoon from the Episcopal church
with interment in the village ceme-
terry.
