Winning Bid 100000

Inc great NJ. Z. Smith Dry Goods
company was put on the auction
block Tuesday and was sold to the
highest bidder.
Its assets are now the property of
the ByrneHammer Dry Goods COM
pany. Mr.. T. c. Byrne. speaking for
his company, announced that practic
ally all employees will be retained and
the business continued in the present
quarters. at least temporarily"
The awarding of the assets TO the
Byrne Hammer company brought an
end, at least so far as the referee In
bankruptcy is concerned, to the eff
forts OF L. F. Crofoot, A. W. Gordon
and a group of Omaha business men
to keep the business intact as a GO
ing concern.
At the end there was but 5000 diff
ference between the bids. A commit
tee representing 81 per cent OF the
creditors urged Referee Dunham to
accept the Crofoot bid. An attorney
representing the holders of NJ. E
Smith & Co. notes urged that the Gro
foot bid be accepted.
Dunham Decides Against Crofoot.
Referee Dunham decided otherwise

Dress-The most economical dress
is the one that is suitable for the
greatest number of occasions, and
will be worn with satisfaction over
the longest period of time If dress
is to satisfy it must be goodin design
and be becoming. If economy is be-
ing considered it must not be con-
spicuous, for one would soon tire of
1t is possible to so plan a dress
that it will serve great many pur-
poses. For example, the principal
dress of the wardrobe, which should
first of all, have conservative de
sign and inconspicuous colors, may
and cuffs, or vest. The tailored type
of accessories will make the dress
suitable for street wear and for bust
ness, and softer, handsomer set may
quickly change the appearance of the
costume so that it will be appropriate
for afternoons and for the evening oc.

CARE OF CREAM ON THE FARM

IA
By o. F Hunziker
Director of Research Laboratories
Blue Valley Creamery Co., Chicago,
Ill.
Part No.
The flavor, wholesomeness, and
market value of butter depend, TO q
lrage extent, on the care when the
cream receives on the farm. cream
that does not receive the proper care
on the farm deterioriates and spolls
rapidly and such cream cannot be
made into good butter. Such butter
usually does not keep we'll and Its
flavor is objected to by the consum-
er. Butter of poor quality discour-
ages consumption. 1t destroys our
export and it encourages imports
and the use of butter substitutes. AL
of this means less demand and lower
price for our domestic butter and this
in turn means less money to the farm
er.
Good butter, such as is made from
cream of good quality and that has
received the proper care on the
farm, is a business builder. 1t in
creases butter consumption. 1t de-
velops markets for our butter In
foreign lands. 1t discourages I'M
ports 1t is the most effective wea-
pom against competition, against iml'
tation products. 1t stabilizes oul
markets. 1t nets top price and en-
ables the farmer to realize the best
possible price for his butterfat.
In countries where the production
of butter far exceeds the domestic
demand and the bulk of the butter
has to be exported, the maintenance
of high quality is fostered by gov
eminent inspection and cotrol. In
order to insure such quality as will
pass government inspection, the
creameries are compelled to penalize
the farmer for poor quality of cream
by paying him lower price or by re-
fusing to accept his cream altogeth
er. This is true of such countries as
Denmark, New Zealand and the West
ern Provinces of Canada. The re-
quirements not only encourage the
production of good cream but they
force the farmer to produce cream
of good quality. He cannot afford
to do otherwise The low returns
from butter made from cream of poor
quality would make the milking OF
cows improbable and they would
drive the dairy farmer in those coun.
tries out of business.

FIRE LOSSES

Asst year fire killed 1882 persons,
IL injured 1910 more and destroyed
over $500, 0O0, 900 worth of property.
Ninety per cent of this loss was due
to carelessness and 100 per cent was
preventable.
Sixty-ive per cent of all fires are
in the home. Over 800 homes burn up
each day of the year or near 100000
a year.
While the number of fires is greater
in the cities than in the country, the
relative loss is greater in the country.
This would naturally be the case, as
smaller towns do not have as com
plete fire-ighting equipment as do the
larger cities, and fires once started are
apt to cause greater destruction.
How can fires be prevented? BY
using as far as possible. fireproof ma
terials in building. The development
Of concrete and cement as building
materials will probably in time reduce
the number of fires.
But how about existing houses? A
few rules drawn from statistics as to
the causes Of fires might be adopted
in every household.
Keep matches only in safe contain
ers out of the reach of children and
mice. Don't leave matches lying
around loose, especially don't let them
get scattered around on the floor.
Be sure a match has gone out be-
lore you throw it away.
Don't allow gas light near wood
work. curtains or other infiammable
material. Don't have curtains hang
ing near enough to open ireplaces or
gas stoves. so that the curtain can
blow into the flames.
Have your furnace, CRATE or stove
chimneys or fiues cleaned and repaired
every spring and inspected in the fall
before starting fires.
If you use electricity, ~disconnect
irons, coasters and other electrical fix
lures when not in use. Be sure the
insulation is perfect in all points need
Ing it.
Don't allow rubbish to collect in
cellars, Easements, woodsheds, under
stairs, in closets or garrets.
Put hot ashes in metal cans. Don't
start fires with kerosene or gasoline.
Don't use benzene or gasoline for
cleaning. There are a number of non
innammable substitutes made that are
perfectly safe.

HARVESTING THE WIN
TER'S CROP

THE highest point in the pneumonia
death rate comes not in the depth
Of winter, as one might expect. but In
March and April. Yet it Is easy to
understand why this should be the
case.
During the coolest months everyone
instinctively takes greater precautions.
Warmer clothing is worn, greater care
Is taken to prevent chills, exposure
and wet feet. Elderly persons, those
whose resistance is lowered. or those
suffering from coughs and colds, nat
urally avoid any unnecessary exposure,
as far as possible.
But with the coming of warmer
days, many Of our midwinter precau-
tons are relaxed. Yet u early spring
days are really more dangerous than
the middle of winter. A mild, clear
morning is, suddenly and without
warning, followed by a raw, chilly
afternoon. The light coat that was
warm enough when we left the house
after breakfast is not enough to pro-
tect US by dinner time.
But the principal eason why the
toll of deaths is greater In the spring
is that we are, most of us, suffering
from the effects of reduced resistance,
due to infectious colds which we
have accumulated during the winter.
Colds are infections of all or part
Of the mucous membrane lining the
nose and the upper part of the THROAT.
The moss is the strainer of our breath
ing machine. AS we draw outside air
into the throat through the nose. 1t
passes over the moist, warm lining OF
the nose, which warns it, moistens 1t
and catches dust particles, germs and
other foreign bodies. If the nose is
free from obstruction and If the lining
is normal. then the clean, warm, moist
air goes down into the lungs without
causing n irritation. But If the
o is stopped up" then we breathe
the cold, dry, germladen air directly
into the lungs.
Frequent continuous infection of the
nose not only increases the chances
of lung infection, but it also, in time,
is very apt to extend the Inflammation
from the nose itself to the sinuses or
cavities opening into the nose. These
cavities in the bones surrounding the
nose are all lined with the same mu-
cous membrane as the nose itself. The
large cavities. one on each side, are
called the maxillary sinuse-, because
they are located in the upper jaw
bones. The two small cavities above
the nose, just behind the eyebrows,
are the frontal sinuses. The cavities
behind and above the nose r the
sphenoidal and ethmoidal ~sinuses.
Infection of any of these cavities
causes the production of pus or matter
in these bony spaces.
The nose is the body's sentinel.
Avoid colds or have them promptly
treated if you have one. Keep the
nose free and open during the winter
and you will be in much less danger
from pneumonia in the spring.

P OST To BUILD
ATHLE TICS
BUILDING

A great building for athletics in
the Second Division. with seating
capacity of 5000 or more is to be
built at the division field, it was
revealed by Colonel L. Brown Thurs
day.
Plans for the building already have
been drawn and agreed upon at Di-
vision headquarters and, as soon as
possible, will be forwarded to Wash
ington for approval.
Colonel Brown is enthusiastic over
the proposition and athletics in gener-
al in the division, and is taking a per-
sonal interest in the details.
The building will be 23Sx119 feet
with a clear space inside the tiers OF
seats. 1G0xS0 feet.
The arena will be sufficiently large
to care for large number Of dancers,
as well as various indoor games, in
Guiding basket ball and probably ten
mis-. 1t also will have a ring for box
ing, the colonel said.
Practically all material needed will
be salvaged from buildings of the
encampment already condemned. A
great deal of this Colonel Brown says,
will be better than new material, be-
cause of its having become seasoned.
While the building will be theoreti-
cally permanent the colonel says
that before it has been there many
years, there will be something much
better.
