WORKER INJURED
AT CUSHNOC MILL

Raymond Pelton, an employee of the
Cushnoc Paper Co., had a remarkable
escape from death about 7.30 Thurs
day evening when he was drawn into
the rollers of winding machine.
Pelton's arm caught in the rollers
and was drawn in until his shoulder
was between the rollers. Fortunate
ly the rollers were loose and it was
understood that the belt on the ma
chine was also loose so that when the
rollers jammed the belt slipped and
he was not drawn through between
them.
The machine was quickly stopped
and a physician was called to give
him emergency treatment. He was
then taken to the Augusta General
hospital, where an X-ray of the in
jury was taken. AS nearly as could
be determined he was suffering from
a broken rib and from the shock.
He is expected to make an easy re-
cOVery.

Takinq Care of Your Clothes

When pressing trousers or other
articles Of clothing where creases are
necessary. add teaspoon Of sugar to
a cup of water and sponge crease
with it. You will find the crease will
stay in twice as long.
A little orris-root tied up in piece
of muslin and boiled with handker-
chiefs will give them the fresh de-

When rubber heels begin to run
over, remove them from the shoes
with a small screw driver and re-
verse the rubber heels. This brings

Before threading a needle with
