FAMILY POISONED
CRACK IN CISTERN BELIEVED
RESPONSIBLE FOR ILLNESS
OF SHINDLAR FAMILY.

Shindlar. April 2S.-Poisoning,
supposed to have resulted from sur
face water making its way through a
crack into a cistern, communicating
the water supply of the family,
threatens to cause the death of sey
eral members of the family of Amos
Zebarth. a farmer living south of
Shindlar. Thus far a 3-year-old son
has died and the father and daugh-
ter are in a serious condition. Ii
appears that a cistern near the house
from which the family had secured
its water supply, went dry and they
took water from a cistern neal the
barn. A crack in this cistern is sups
posed to have permitted the inflow
of contaminated surface water, caus-
ing tn sickness which has proved
fatal in n case and may cause the
death of father and a daughter.

MAN With SORROW
FORMER INSTRUCTOR IN HAMIL-
TON COLLEGE DIED AT THE
BROWN COUNTY POOR
FARM.

Aberdeen, April 28-About a
quarter of a century or more ago, a
middle aged man and his son and
daughter appeared in this section of
the country and filed on a homestead
in Edmunds county. The mar gave
the name of Walter Smith. He was
not very adept at farming. but man
aged to accumulate a little property
and eight or nine years & he came
to Aberdeen, bought a little home,
but gave it to his daughter when the
latter married. He could not get
along with his son-in-law. and later
moved to an apartment house, where
he acted as j%anitor to pay for his
meals and room. But he was grow
ing old. and had become alienated
from his children, and when his
health began to fail, he entered the
county poor farm, where, he died
about two years ago, at the age of 80.
This week an inquiry came to Post
master Kelley from Clinton. N. ".
inquiring about a man named Walter
Smith. Investigation brought out the
fact that the Walter Smith for whom
inquiry was made was the lonely old
man who died in the Brown county
poor house. Further information
from Clinton revealed that the man
who failed in life as a South Da-
kota farmer. graduated from Hamil-
ton college at Clinton with the class
of 1857. and later was an instructor
i'm the college. He married and chill
dren were born. but later a great sor-
row came into his life-the word
from Clinton did not say precisely
what that sorrow was-and he for
sock educational work and his for
mer associates and sought refuge in
what was then virtually a wilder
ness on a homestead on the prairies
of northern South Dakota.

A subject of municipal interest in
cidentally touched upon at the coun-
ell meeting last evening was electric
lighting. The desire for electric
lighting throughout the city seems
to be quite general and the means to
attain it the only drawback. With
the probable increase of ven
July 1, ii is hoped the city will be in
position TO take this matter in its
own hands, and with the receipts de-
rived from private use of the lights,
be able to reconstruct the former
system or put in a new one. In an
undertaking of this kind the city will
find a hearty cooperation from the
citizens If the general complaint of
the inconvenience of dark streets is
any index of a willingness to con-
tribute toward lighting them. The
council will take the matter under
more serious consideration at its next
meeting.

CUT OUT LUXURIES
MISS MABEL WARD. OF STATE
COLLEGE. GIVES SOUND AD-
VICE WITH REGARD TO
FOOD.

Brookings, April 2S.-"Economy
in the kitchen is patriotism of the
right kind" says Mabel Ward. pro-
fessor of home economics at State
college. because this is an effective
method Of stretching out a short
food supply. The first good rule to
adopt in the kitchen is that absO-
Iutely no food is to be thrown away
To do this. will mean careful plan
ming, disregarding individual whims
OF children. and the use of left over
foods in attractive dishes. Miss
Ward further suggests that waste
NAV also be prevented by simplicity
of refreshments when entertaining.
People get enough food at their own
tables and "A large outlay of food as
a simple luxury in entertaining
should be looked down upon as dis
tinctly bad form.
Probably the best way that wom-
en- can help in the production of food
Is to make a resolve that no CONNER
cial canned food shall enter their
homes. All vegetables such as peas.
beans. corn. asparagus. tomatoes,
and all meats may be quickly and
easily canned at home. Fruit is
scarce and not a particle should be
wasted. II is worth while even to
can a few cups of strawberries left
from a meal since this canning may
be done so quickly and easily. Full
directions for canning may be obtain
ed from the extension division of the
State college.
"As women we should realize our
grave responsibility as guardians of
the nations food supply. Let us ac-
cept this responsibility with an earn
estness and intelligence worthy of
our diligence to the flag"
