who was slashed in a street alterca-
tion Friday of last week, sufficiently
to remove the bandage from the
wound in his side, was the cause of
a run by the fire department to his
home on College street at 9~o'clock
Friday night. Desiring to loosen the
bandage without causing any more
pain to the tender spot than neces-
sary, DR.. Lewis asked for some gaso-
line, with which to dissolve the ad-
hesion. There was none to be had
so he and Mrs. Lewis, with candle in
hand, proceeded to the garage where
they proceeded to rob the gasoline
tank of the automobile. Before the
required amount of fluid had been
obtained the gas fumes were ignited
by the flame of the candle. and the
gasoline in the tank took fire. There
was no explosion. but it was feared
there might be one at any instant, so
a telephone call brought the fremen,
who found DR.. Lewis. in bandages,
Mrs. Lewis and neighbors awaiting
their arrival The flame had been
extinguished.

 Attack In Court Room
She Wanted Husband Sent to Jaii.- He Was Allowed to Go on Pay
 ment of Costs

After William Cote had been tried for drunkenness, breach of the peace and threatening his wife, Monday morning, Mrs. W. J. Bartlett, who ap- peared with Cote's wife, said that the man had been going around with oth- CT women and should be punished for that, and that she was not satisfied as the going around with another woman was the most important matter
 Judge Geissler informed Mrs. Bart lett that 1t was not a crime for mar ried man to go around with another woman, and asked if she desired to press a charge of adultery.
 The judge told the prosecutor that perhaps he had better amend the writ.
 Attorney Johnson said that no such complaint had come to him and that he had charged all that the wife had complained of.
 Judge Geissler asked Mrs Cote if she wanted more serious charge brought The woman then began to groan. Mrs. Bartlett said Mrs. Cote was afflicted with heart trouble. While she hurried to get a glass of water, Officer Chandler and Captain Bulger lifted Mrs. Cote in the chair in which she was sitting and carried her near the door where she could have better air.
 Cote pleaded not guilty to the charges against him. Mrs. Cote testi- and used bad language. She admitted that he had not threatened her nor struck her. She complained that he did not come home to his meals and had said that he did not want to live with her any more.
 What do you want done with him, Mrs. Cote?" asked the prosecutor.
 He don't want to stay with me. He likes someone else better" was the reply.
 "The court would like to know how you feel regarding what should be done with him."
 "Send him to jail," said the wife.
 Cote said that he worked hard and gave his wife SIS a week ands only had $140 for himself He said that when he did not go home to his meals it was because he was working. He charged that his wife was never at home but was on the street all the time.
 Cote said further that his wife was after him all the time and, he said, "she gives me h-l.'
 When Mrs. Cote had her attack of illness the case was adjourned. Tues day it was taken up again and the prosecutor informed the court that he was unable to get any evidence to substantiate the more serious crime. that was suggested Monday might have been committed Mrs. Cote was not in court.
 Judge Geissler asked Cote if he thought he and his wife could get along if he was allowed to go. Cote said that they could if his wife would stay at home and keep away from her friend" The case was placed on file on payment of costs of $40.

WASTED

The National Associaticn Of Waste
Material Dealers estimates that Ameri.
cans throw away s7Oo, 100000 worth Of
food each year. If only one ounce Of
food is wasted or spoiled In each Of the
10000, 900 homes OF America, the total
loss is 100000 pounds a day. AS much
coal is wasted annually as all the mines
of the country could produce in-two
weeks.
Thrift and saving are needed not
only In materials but In labor and
money. Each added individual effort
will tend toward the> increase OF pro-
duction and consequent fall In price OF
necessities, but physical idleness is no
less an obstacle TO the reduction OF liv,
ing costs than financial idleness. There
are millions Of dollars idle In the
United States through lack OF proper
investment which should be working
for the common good. These sums |.
put to work would constitute the new
capital so urgently needed to tide over
the period of reconstruction.
