At this time of the year people feel

they have lived indoors and perhaps
expended all their mental and bodily
energy and they want to know how to
renew their energy and stamina, over
come headaches and backaches, have
clear eyes, a smooth, ruddy skin, and
feel the exhilaration of real good health
tingling thru their body. Good, pure,
rich, red blood, is the best insurance
against ills of AL kinds. Almost all
diseases come. from impure and impov-
erished blood. It is to be noticed in the

Doctors in all parts Of the country have
been kept busy with the epidemic Of grip
which has visited 20 many homes. The
symptoms Of grip this year arc often very
distressing and leave the system in run
down condition, particularly the Kidneys
which seem to suffer most, as almost every
victim complains Of lame back and urin-
ary troubles which should not be neglect
cd, as these danger signals often lead to
dangerous kidney troubles. Druggists
report . large sale on DR.. Kilmer's

soon heals and strengthens the kidneys
after an attack of grip. Swamp Root,
being an herbal compound, has gentle
healing effect on the kidneys, which is al

DEVICE TO keep
FOOD in SUMMER
Evaporation Of Water From Cloth
Cover Is Cooling Principle of
Refrigerator.
COOLER FOR DRINKING WATER
Temperature Of so Degrees F. Posi-
BILE Under Ideal conditions-PIace
for Meats, Fruits, Vegetables,
Milk and Butter.

Where ice is not obtainable an ice
less refrigerator, homemade, will be a
useful food keeper and food saver this
summer. Maintaining a low tempera-
ture through the evaporation of water
from its canvas cover, the iceless re-
frigerator will keep meats, fruits and
vegetables cool and will extend the pc
Rod for keeping milk and butter. 1t
can also serve as cooler for drinking
water.
Separate Refrigerators.
In homes where large quantities Of
milk and butter arctic be kept it would
be we'll to have one refrigerator for
milk and butter and another for other
foods, as milk and butter readily abb
sorb 'odors from other foods. 1t costs
very little to build the refrigerator and
nothing to operate 1t. The operation is
as simple as the construction. The
upper pan should be kept filed with
water. The water is drawn by capil-
larry attraction through the wicks and
saturates the cover. AS evaporation
takes place heat is taken from the
inside of the refrigerator, thereby low
ering the temperature Of the inside
and the contents. Capillary action
starts more readily If the cover is first
dampened by dipping 1t in water or
throwing water upon 1t. The greater
the rate of evaporation the lower the
temperature which can be secured;
!, therefore the refrigerator works best
when rapid evaporation takes place.
Evaporation Is Rapid.
When the refrigerator is placed in a
shady place in a strong breeze and the
air Is warm and dry, evaporation
takes place continuously and rapidly
and the temperature inside the refrig-
orator is reduced. Under ideal condi-
tions The temperature has been
known to be reduced to so degrees
Fahrenheit. When 1t is damp, and
the air is full Of moisture. the refrlss-
orator will not work as well, since
there is not enough evaporation. More
water will find its way to the lower
pan, but it will be drawn up into the
covering by capillary attraction when
the air again becomes drier.
The refrigerator should be regularly
cleaned and summed. If the framework
shelves and pans are, white enameled
they can more easily be kept in SAM.
tary condition. 1t is well to h9ve two
covers, so that fresh one can be used
each week and the soiled one washed
and summed.

HOW TO CONSTRUCT AN
lcELESs REFRIGERATOR

A wooden frame is made with
dimensions ~ by 10 by IA
inches and covered with screen
wire, preferably the rustless
type. which costs little more
than the ordinary kind. The
door is made to fit closely and
is mounted on brass hinges, and
can be fastened with a wooden
latch. The bottom is fitted sol
i'd, but the top should be COW
cred with screen wire. Adjusta-
BILE shelves can be made of solid
wood or strips or sheets Of gal
vanized metal. Shelves made of
!, poultry netting on light wooden
frames, as shown in the illus
tration, are probably the most
desirable. These shelves rest
on side braces placed at desired
intervals. A bread baking pan,
IA by 16 inches, is placed on the
top and the frame rests in q IL
by 1S-inch pan.
All the woodwork, the shelves
and the pans should receive two
coats of white paint and one or
two coats Of white enamel. This
makes very attractive surface
and one that can be easily kept
clean. The screen wire also may
receive the coat of enamel,
which will prevent it from rust
ing.
A cover Of canton flannel. bur
lap or duck is made to fit the
frame. Put the smooth side out
if canton flannel is used. It will
REQUIRE about three yards Of ma
terial. This cover is buttoned
/ around the top of the frame and
down the side on which the door
is not hinged, using buggy hooks
F and eyes or large-headed tacks
and eyelets worked in the mate
rial. On the front side arrange
the hooks on the top Of the door,
instead of on the frame, and also
fasten the cover down the latch
side Of the door, allowing a wide
hem of the material to overlap
the place where the door closes.
The door can then be opened
without rnbuttoning the cover.
The bottom Of the cover should
extend down into the lower pan.
Four double strips. which taper
to S or 10 inches in. width, are
sewed to the upper part Of the
cover. These strips form wicks
that dip over into the upper pan.
The dimensions given make
refrigerator of very convenient
size for household use and one
with efficient evaporating sur
face, but it is not necessary to
follow strictly these dimensions.
If larger capacity is desired.
the height of the refrigerator can
be increased.

Increase the Wheat Acreage.

Recently a conference was held at
Madison, at which time the wheat sit
Cation was discussed. 1t was found
that the winter wheat acreage had not
been increased as much as the govern
ment expected. Therefore, in order
that this country may have sufficient
amount of flour next year it is neces-
saay that our spring wheat acreage be
materially increased The increase
asked for in the state of Wisconsin is a
40 per cent increase, which means, in
Rock county, 1900 more acres of spring
wheat. 1t has been found that the
Marquis wheat produces a larger yield,
makes much better flour and natures
earlier, so that it is not affected so
much by the rust or late -drouth and,
therefore, every farmer who is willing
to increase his wheat acreage is urged
to secure this seed. This seed can be
secured~from some of the local dealers
of this county or from the millers. If
you cannot secure the seed from this
source, get in touch with the County
Agent, who can arrange for it.

school will stage play in the high
school auditorium. Breezy Point" is
the name of the play. The caste was
selected and has been trained by Miss
Leora Connors> of the English depart
ment.
The proceeds of the play will prob
ably be donated to the high school an
nual, "The Crimson" If this publica-
ton is found not to need financial sup
port, then the Red Cross will receive
the proceeds.
Support of the play is asked for with
the feeling that play of high merit
and deserving backing will be offered.
The high school orchestra and the
grade glee club will furnish music for
the occasion. The price of admission
will be twenty-five cents. Reserved
seats will be ten cents and will be
placed on sale at the Ash Book Store

"A half a hundred families in this

"A half hundred families in this
community are watching every mail
for some word that the Edgerton pla-
toon, members of Co. NJ, 128th N. G.,
who embarked on transports from New
York to oversee service Feb. 18th, had
safely arrived on foreign soil. We
hope their anxiety will soon be removed.
The few people who were awake at
o'clock Tuesday morning were priv
LEGGED to witness a most remarkable
meteorological phenomenon. Even
though a thick fog prevailed, for a
space of second or so the heavens
were Illuminated like the midday sun
and then shortly after there was ire
mendous defamation that sounded like
an explosion, causing slight tremor.
The first thought was that meteor
had fallen in the near locality for the
disturbance was noticed over quite
territory. However, the observatories
at Madison or elsewhere do not report
any evidence of an earthquake. An
explanation is due from somewhere.
Will Bardeen, local photographer,
is in receipt of letter from the war
department instructing him to hold his
large camera lenses in readiness to be
shipped to Washington when notified.
Mr.. Bardeen owns two sets of lenses
adapted for aeroplane work and as
these lenses were manufactured in Ger
many it is impossible for the govern
ment to get more of them. All pho
tographers have been ordered to report
as to the kind of lenses they use. Field
glasses are also requested by the gov
eminent and no less than fifteen pairs
have been turned into the government
by the hunters in the vicinity of New
vile and Lake Koshkonong. Each
glass is tagged aud numbered and after
the war will be returned to the owner.
Should the glass be lost or broken they
will be replaced
The farmers,who have been holding
potatoes for a So market again this
spring now see that they have over
played their hand. 1t is now intimated
that nearlylhalf of last seasons potato
crop is still in the growers hands and
that a considerable portion will rot for
want of market. If this prediction
proves true it shows criminal stupidity
and greed on the part of someone. To
force the price to consumers up over
81. so bushel by letting considerable
portion rot, results in nothing but loss
at both ends. Another result of such
condnct will be to discourage planting
the coming season. Last fall when the
growers refused the going price they
little expected cold winter and car
shortage would hold up the movement,
so there is danger of loss instead of
profit in the crop.

Obituary
WILLIAM WATSON.

William Watson was born in Riccall,
Yorkshire, England, Nov. 8, 1869, and
passed from this life at the home of
his parents, Wray Watson and wife, in
this city, Monday morning, March 4.
1918. His ailment was chronic Bright's
disease which extended over period
of several years, but during the many
weeks and months of suffering he was
never heard to complain and the last
moments here on earth were peaceful
and quiet.
With his mother he came to this
country in 1888 and when but young
boy he commenced to learn the printer
trade in The Reporter Office, continu-
ing for about three years. In the early
nineties he went to Benton, ILL.,, and in
1896 was united in marriage to Miss
Dora Hill Of that place. Five children
were born to this union, three of whom
are now living. Five years ago he was
taken sick and two years ago last
Christmas came back to Edgerton, his
family remaining in Illinois.
Besides his wife and three children,
he leaves to mourn their loss his aged
parents, one brother, Ben Watson, four
sisters, Mrs. H. B. Knapp of this city,
Miss Mary Watson and Mrs. Trace
Christensen Of Stoughton, Mrs. Frank
Risdon of Milwaukee.
Funeral services, conducted by Rev.
Hooton of the Methodist church, were
held from the home Wednesday after
noon at o'clock and interment was
made in Fassett cemetery.
The family and relatives have the
sympathy of all in the hour Of bereave-
ment.
