But we can't continue increasing our

The farms, mines and factories cannot

Railroads are now near the peak of their

Without railroad expansion-more en-.

But this country of ours is going to

BOILING WATER IS WASTE
OF FUEL BY HOUSEWIVES

Lifting water from room tempera
ture up to the boiling point is one
OF the most difficult operations for
a heating appliance. In plain par
lance IT Is known as boiling water.
Housewives heve been under the inn
preston that in order to cook there
must be plenty of boiling water. A
common question when any new heat
ing appliances were being exhibited
was: How long does It take to boil
water?
For those who have just begun to
use electric ranges the following re-
minders may prove helpful:
DO not heat gallon OF water if
you need a pint.
In boiling operations bring liquids
TO boil on fun heat. then switch to
low. This cuts down current CON
sumption by three-quarters,--a big
saving.
DO not allow liduid to bubble boil.
This Is not necessary. by so doing
you are merely turning the water OF
the liduld Into steam, where 1t II
wasted. No matter how much current
is applied tho liquid cannot be made
hotter than the boiling point

is saved. The current can be turned
off before the cooking process is
through as the heat stored in the
unit will keep the liquid at boiling
temperature for the remainder Of the
cooking operation.
Do not use too much water. This
Is extremely important. IL requires
a lot OF current to heat the extra
water and this heat is usually wasted
In cooking vegetables il is not neces-
sary to submerge them in water for
the steam will do the cooking and
steamed potatoes are more wholesome
than soggy. water-soaked potatoes.

a means OF improving the growth Of

and three on the limbs OF the right
side for the other pole. An example

Instead of recommending the practice

This apparatus is sort of bicycle

proper functioning of their organs.
This is accomplished by means OF

sons who live a sedentary life, and
who consequently accumulate flesh
reserves which are not used up, will
be made to perform ergotherapic ex =

whose organisms spend more energy
than they are able to produce will
likewise resort to the diathermic
treatment which will electrically fur

DATES FOR 1920 FAIR SET

The election OF officers for the ensuing

Mr.. George X. Bishop was elected sec

Officers elected are as follows: p.

Mr. Bishop gave an outline of some OF
the things a Fair should be and should

Plans of the new bridge TO be con-
structed by the city and state over the
Paint river at the foot OF Superior
avenue. which street is a portion OF
the Cloyerland Trail, have been on
exhibition in Crystal Falls this week
and they have been pronounced by all
who saw them TO be those OF a splen-

The bridge will be concrete through
out, OF the girder type and will be
constructed jointly by the city and
state. The state makes out all OF the
plans and let's the contract. Should
the city so decide II may have a
bridge without putting any money in
to II at all but in that case the struc-
ture would be but "a feet wide, too
narrow for sidewalks. The city will
ask that the bridge be widened TO 30
feet, the extra width to be taken us
with the sidewalk.

CAMPS BREAK UP

The lumber Jack has been qquite
prominent about town these days but
he is sorry remant OF what we had
here in the olden days when the big
pine camps along the rivers broke up
and the Jacks" came TO town to
spend their winters earnings in a few
short days over the bar.
The men who came down from the
camps last week and this are mostly
OF the younger generation. many OF
them woodsmen because OF the better
advantages offered In the woods this
winter than at other work. None OF
the men tried TO see how fast they
could spend their money. Most OF
them decked out in new clothes and
enjoyed a few days visiting with
friends preparatory to starting at
some other work. The days OF the big
doings are past.
The most OF the Jacks" came down
from the camps of Herman Holmes.
who put in about $4,000 900 II. OF tim
Der the past winter and kept several
hundred men at work in different
parts OF the county. Mr.. Holmes got
every log to the landing. He hauled
his last log Friday afternoon OF last
week. He will have crew loading
for several months at different land
ings where he has logs.
Chas. Uren finished his logging op-
perations two weeks ago, o. T. OIL
son got all of his cut to the landings
and Mr.. Bradley. who Is woods fore
man for the Keil people, succeeded in
getting every log hauled. He has
some timber 90 dray in and started
that work this week. Paul Schook
also finished getting in his timber at
Saunders.
Cars are more plentiful and looks
as II there is TO be less delay In load
ing this summer than for several sea-
sons past.
