Locking the Door,

When will public men who have
been entrusted with high offices
see the light Of day and stop play
ing politics at the expense Of the
public?
Perhaps no more fragrant ex-
ample of this has ever been foist-
ed on the public than the cry sent
forth by Gov Blaine last week
when he started a rumpus with
the state highway commission
calling on them TO put a halt to
the reckless spending of funds for
highway improvement and asking
them to let the public ask for i'm
provements rather than to lay out
an expensive program for them
and put it through regardless of
how much it costs.
Had the governor made this pro-
position to the commission some
two years ago, Wisconsin would
not be in its present situation of
having a big highway bill on it's
hands and the pleasant prospect
of digging down into our pockets
for the next generation to pay for

Forget the Yesterdays.

The acme Of all philosophy is
confidence in today-that it is the
best day-and tomorrow will be
better if God is good 1t is this
thought which makes the birds
sing and the sun to shine, which
enables labor and defes duty,
which cures disappointment and
heartburn, banishes sorrow and
fashions fate. Discomfort and self
pity breeds pettiness, paresis and
paralysis. How much better to
smile. Don't face the wrong way
let yesterday alone. If you have
made a mistake forget nothing
worth while was ever built upon
useless regret. To err is human,
and with every error safely under
yesterdays sod, the wise man and
woman wipe away the tear bravely
and face front. It is only the
mentally deficient who eats his
heart out for what cannot now be
undone.
Forget it-what a saving sane
tuary is expressed in this fotsam
Of the street. Through forgetful-
ness hearts are healed, horrors are
softened, crimes absoIved. Sorrow
comes into every life with hurry
ing years-none can hope to es-
cape its beareavements and its
blights-but forget it.
Meanwhile do not fail to learn
to forgive. What does all this
fighting and hating one another
amount to anyway? Don't be an
Indian whose gross instincts and
cold-blooded brutality are charac-
teristics Of his class-they never
forget because they will not for
give. Let go of the depressing
and awakening grievance ~ wipe
the slate clean each day-see to it
that no hatred poisons the mind
or clouds the mirror of memory.

A New Fire Hazard.

There IS nothing new under the
sun"
The fire preventionist must ser
iously question this saying, in
view Of the many new fire hazards
invented and sold TO an unsuspect-
ing public
The hazard Of the electric pad
used as a bed warmer is well rec
ognized; now comes its twin bro
Their, chemical bed warmer,
which is being sold. Last month
q Wisconsin fire chief reported a
fire caused by one Of these.
This device consists of a canvas
bag inside OF rubberized bag.
Finely divided iron, ferric chloride
and ammonium chloride are placed
ed in the inside bag. When it Is
desired TO produce heat, about two
tablespoons full of water are
poured on these ingredients. The
iron and chemicals viii do the rest.
A chemical reaction takes place
between the iron and ferric chlor-
ide when wet, and heat is produc-
ed and liberated. In time the tenn
perature rises high enough to ig-
mite ordinary eo1nbustible mater
ial, such as bedding or clothing.
In the recent case reported, the
inside or canvas bag was removed
from the rubberized cover and
thrown on the floor in contact
with clothing, which was ignited
and in turn set fire to the home.
The fire chief reporting this
case, later conducted some expert
ments with this device. Ninety
minutes after applying water TO
the iron and chemical contents he
removed the canvas bag and plac-
ed it in contact with cotton. In
about fifteen minutes the cotton
was ignited.
The outer covering adds but
little protection and we can only
view this latest bed warming de-
vice as a serious fire hazard and q
dangerous substitute for the time
honored hot water bottle.
Timely turning of Of the cur
rent, makes the electric pad harm
less, but with this new device
there is no ready way of stopping
the generation Of heat until too
late.
The particular device respon-
sible for the fire above mentioned
is called Triumph Ready Heat,
but other chemical heaters equally
dangerous are also being sold, and
we warn against the whole brood
of fire-breeders.
The fire chief must ever be alert
to combat new, dangerous devices
of ell kinds, and to find remedy
for new hazards manufacturing
processes to minimize their dan
ger through isolation or otherwise.

some gelatin and some milk, meat and

Not every housewife realizes that
variety of uses to which gelatin may
be put.
One of its chief services is that OF
breaking up of the curd formed in
the stomach wh~l cows milk is drunk.
This means that the delicate stomach
of the infant or that of the invalid
may be able TO digest milk to which
gelatin has been added. whereas milk
alone might cause considerable dis
turbance.
An interesting table has been cont
piled. showing the numuer or table
uses to which gelatin may be put.
Some of these are: In the making of
jellied desserts. entrees, jellied meats,
broths and SOUPS. icings, custards and
buildings. In preparing diets for ln-
valids gelatin is often used for fever
cases. diabetic patients, infant diets
and undernourishment among emil
dren.
Besides these there are numerous
commercial uses. such as in confec

with a tablespoonful and add more, if
needed. Without changing the heat lay
the tomatoes in and watch them close

Continue the "high" heat for the cook
ing. The slices of tomatoes may be
taken out as soon as well Drowned.
Green tomatoes demand longer cook
ing than ripe. but they are less likely
to soften and break. They are espc-
cially good when served with crisply
grilled bacon. This can be easily pre-
pared at the same time by using the
deep pan for the tomatoes and the

tomatoes on top of the heating ele
