Remembers Old Days of South
western Wisconsin.

Dodgeville Sun-Republic, Dec. 8:
T. J. Cunningham, former secretary
Of state, old-time newspaper man
and at present oil inspector by APP
pointment of Governor John j.
Blaine, made the Sun-Republic office
a brief call yesterday morning while
changing cars here. Mr.. Cunning
ham is very genial gentleman and
is most pleasantly remembered, we
learn, by older newspaper men Of
this part of the state, having spent
much of his time here in his earlier
years. After becoming the publisher
of an important daily paper at Chip
pewa Falls he long continued his GUS
tom of attending the Dodgeville fair
for the sake of meeting old acquaint-
ances, and speaks of the old fair
with great pleasure. The appoint
ment of Mr. Cunningham to his pres
ent position under the state was
widely commended when announced
about three months ago.

ACTION OF WATER ON FIRE
Just What Takes Place When the
Liquid Is Employed for Quench-
ing Flames.

Practically, water thrown on a fire
browns out the blaze. Scientifically
however, the water absorbs so much OF
the heat in the fire that the tempera.
ture Of the fire is lowered so that the
oxygen will not combine with the
carbon in the burning material and the
fire goes out.
1t is peculiar that water. which is
made Of oxygen and hydrogen, will
put out fire which requires hydrogen
and oxygen before it will burn. This
is true, however, as the oxygen and
hydrogen composing the water already
have been burned Or heated to a high
temperature when they combined as
water, and so, as no substance or gas
that has been burned once can be
burned again, the combination of the
two gases in the form of water will
not burn when thrown on the fire.
To the contrary, the heat Of the
burning fire is lowered by the water
so that the oxygen of the air cannot
combine with it and, lacking the
oxygen, the fire is eXtinguished.-

"By Hook or by Crook"

''By hook or by crook" an express
sion denOting that a person is deter
mined to accomplish a certain thing
no matter how, was first used in Ire
land in 1172. At that time, Strong
bow, the great warrior, invaded Ire
land and swore he would take it 'by
hook or crook" meaning two towns
of great importance in those days
near the port Of Waterford.
Some authorities, however, claim
that StrongbOw was using a punning
allusion. Ancient forest rights in Eng
land and Ireland allowed the poor to
carry away dead or damaged wood for
fuel. The people were not permitted
to use an ak or saw but were sup
posed to pick up the loose branches
scattered about. The customary meth
cd Of removal was to use hooked poles
or "crooks" with which the dead
branches could be pulled down and
hauled home.
In the old English records this priv
ilege of the poor is called "a right
with hook and crook to lop, crop and
carry away fuel"

AFTER twelve YEARS
Mineral Point Testimony Remains
mistaken.

Time. is the best test of truth
Here is a Mineral Point story that
has stood the test of time. It is a
story with a point which will come
straight.
George H. Hartley, cigar manufac-
turer, 1104 State street, Mineral
Point, gave the following statement
August 2, 1907: II have used a few
boxes of Doan's Kidney Pills and can
recommend them for aching back
and weak kidneys. I had been suf-
fering for several months from weak
kidneys and sharp pains in the small
of my back. My kidneys were sore
and the secretions were unnatural. l
got Doan's Kidney Pills at Ivey's
Pharmacy and after using them, the
pain disappeared and the kidney Sc
cretions were cleared up. 1 am feel
ing better and give Doan's the credit.
On December Is, 1919, Mr.. Hart
ley said: "The cure Doan's Kidney
Pills made for me some years ago
has been permanent. | am glad to
recommend them again"

simply ask for kidney remedy-get

Running the Gauntlet"

The custom of Furnishing culprt
by forcing him to run the gauntlet
practiced in the Seventeenth century,
is said to have originated during the
Thirty Years war" (161S-4S) and to
have been adopted by European armies
as mode of punishment. The culprit
was stripped to the waist and then
obliged to run repeatedly between two
lines of soldiers facing one another,
each of whom struck at him with a
short stick or switch. The word
gauntlet" as here used, has not the
meaning usually given it-that of an
iron glove-but is simply corruption
of gantlope or gatlope, and is derived
from the Swedish gatlop, meaning
running down a lane" Some etymolo-
gists, however, derive the word from
the German gassenlaufen, which means
running the lane" and others from
the Dutch gangloopen, having the
same meaning.

What Produces Freckles.

Old Sol is the real freckle dispenser.
His rays, on their way to earth, fall
alike on the just and the unjust and
so the just and the unjust have
freckles; that is, those who have skins
built for freckles- generally persons
of fair complexion and hair. Some
people never have freckles because
their skin is not the same as that Of
the freckled ones.
The action of the sun on the skin
of persons of light complexion causes
a yellowish or broWnish substance to
exude from the second layer of skin
and forms freckles. Some people
even have permanent freckles, but in
most people the freckles disappear
wien the summer is ended and they
are bundled up in warm clothing when
out Of doors. -Phliadelphia Ledger
