Rubber Shoes Life Savers.

A fact which is probably only slight
ly known is the immunity from the at
tacks OF lightning which is afforded by
wearing a pair of rubbers.
The person who assumes these COW
erings must be careful not to come in
contact with anything except the floor.
Providing he follows this instruction
he can not possibly be injured by the
lightning In any way.
The explanation is simple enough.
The electric fluid before it can pass in
to human being or animal must first
come in contact with the earth. Its
passage from the earth to the wearer
of the rubbers is, of course, stopped
by the soles of the latter.
SO next time storm is brewing
hurry up and get out your rubberu.

At 80 O'clock This Afternoon Fund Went "Over the

figure.

not include the pledge of G. L. Hooper

also expressed an intention Of giving
to the fund, as well as a number of
individuals.
1t is probable that considerably
more than SIPS will be needed by the
time the boy is actually wearing the

cover the cost of the leg. The boy will
be provided with clothes. and the best
medical attention will be given him,
