HOW To CARE
FOR OAKEN
FLOORS
Proper Attention and Correct
Use of SheIIac, varnish and
Wax Preparations Needed.

There are several preparations
put up by varnish and wax manu-
facturers which give excellent re-
suits for cleaning and the care of
oak floors, that may be bought at
any department, hardware, drug or
paint store.
Never use water, oil, kerosene,
turpentine, soap, or any other cleah-
ing agents, except as follows:
Shellac Finish-f water has been
spilled upon the floor, turning it
white, in places, noisten soft
cloth with a little denatured alco-
hol and lightly rub the spots, which
should Immediately disappear. Do
not repeat this operation too often,
however, or the finish will be en-
tirely removed. Shellacked floors
sometimes take on a clouded or
grayish appearance due to damp
ness in the air. This condition can
usually be greatly improved by the
same treatment as above. If the
finish has become so soiled that
1t is desirable to remove it entire

standard brand of varnish remover
this is preferable TO alcohol, as it
does not evaporate as rapidly and

Osakis, had her life crushed out by
a Ford Sedan Tuesday evening, while
on her way home from the Commun-
ity Minstrel show in that village.
The car was owned by Art Finseth,
manager of a potato warehouse at
Osakis and was driven by Miss Lila
Erickson, Of Osakis. The Herald un-
derstands that the car was moving at
slow rate Of speed, but that Miss
Erickson appeared to be inexperienc'

the large crowd on the streets follow.

Little Mona was accompanied by
her 5-year-old brother. Both were
struck by the sedan but the boy es.
capped with slight bruises. The whee

An adjourned regular meeting of

was held at the Club rooms Monday
evening with President Sigurd Holme
presiding. After the reading of the
minutes of the last regular meeting,
Chairman William M. Parker of the
Minstrel Committee stated that the
Sank Centre Country Club needed a
new mower for the Golf links this
year and suggested that it would be
a good idea for portion of the pro-
ceeds of the Forthcoming Minstrel
show be set aside for this purpose.
He explained that the Country Club
was one of the things attracting the
tourist to Sank Centre, and there was
desire to keep the fees at as low a
level as possible. There were about
80 present at the meeting and Presi-
dent Holme asked for a full and free
discussion of the suggestion made by
Mr.. Parker. When the motion was
finally put there was not dissenting
vote against it. This was the only
matter of Importance to come before
. the meeting.
