RIGHT WAY
TOEAT
Mrs. Cornelius Beeckman-
The Right Way to Eat
EAR MRS REECKMA

nEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
~ Please tell me the correct
way of eating when the food has
to be cut with a knife. n
When cutting meat with the
right hand Is it correct to change
the fork from the left to, the
right hand, or can you eat with
the left hand and cut the food as
you go along? MISS s. b,
"1ERE are two distinct forms"
i of eating. One is the Ameri-
can fashion of cutting the meat
with the knife in the right hand,
then putting the knife down on
the plate. Then the fork is trans
ferred to the right hand, and the
piece OF meat is eaten with the
fork in the right hand.
The other method OF eating is
usually referred to as the cont
mental" way. You cut the meat,
of course, with the knife in the
right hand and eat the piece of
meat with the fork in the left
hand. That is, there is not the
unnecessary shifting of the fork
to the right hand. After the piece
OF meat is put into the mouth
both the knife and fork are rested
on the plate. They should not be
held in the hand while the meat
Is being eaten.
One just decides which fashion
one wishes to adopt and makes
that as graceful as he possibly
can. Both, as I have said, above,
are correct. While the changing
of the fork from the left to the
right hand is considered good
manners in this country, it is
often criticized by cultivated for
eigners, who maintain that this
form is full of unnecessary mo-
tons.
MRS. Beeclxman will be gIad
to answer questions on etiquette
submitted by readers.)

Tubbs Medicine Company enjoys
a solid and profitable business year
in and year out.
President w. E. Tubbs is the
executive officer actively in charge
of the business. With back
ground of forty years experience
at headquarters, and on the road
as a salesman, he directs the af-
fairs Of the company with skilled
hand. The success and prosperity
of the company today are due, in
the main, to his efforts.
F. NJ. White, Vice President of
the company, has been Of very ma
terial aid in an advisory and fnan-
cial capacity throughout his con-
nection with the concern. At times
when needed, he has supplied add
ed capital and generally has been
an active aid to President Tubbs.
Thomas E. Tubbs, the founder
of the Tubbs Medicine Company,
The River Falls times. [volume] (River Falls, Pierce County, Wis.) 1894-1933, 1925-11-01

was one of the early Kinnickinnic
Valley pioneers. He was born and
reared at Essex, Chittenden Coun-
ty, Vermont. In 1854 he drove an
OK team through from Essex, Yer
mont, to Wisconsin for HoSia
Bates. Thomas Tubbs took up a
government claim five miles south
east of River Falls, at a point
which became known as Tubbs'
Corners. In 1866, he moved to
River Falls.
Establishment of the Tubbs
Mericine Company was an out
growth Of pioneer times aud condi-
tions. Thomas Tubhs, with some
forethough, had brought out to
Wisconsin from his old Vermont
home cel tain formulas for the pre-
peration Of salves, ointm -nts, lini-
ments and household remedies,
which had proven effective in use
for years among neighbors in the

For forty-fve years now, in cook
books, calendars, almanacs and
posters of many kinds, the name
and beauties Of River Falls have
been carried to thousands of homes
throughout the Middle West by the
Tubbs Medicine Company, one OF
the substantial pioneer concerns
of the Kinnickinnic Valley.
Bearing the slogan: eff it's made
by Tubbs, it's good" tons of print
ed matter have been sent forth
and widely distributed through
hundreds of leading drug stores IN
Wisconsin, Iowa, Minnesota, North
Dakota, South Dakota and Mon
tana, during these years. Many OF
the almanacs, cook books, calen-
dars and display posters thus dis
tributed have been frightened up
with attractive pictures Of Kinnlc-
hnnic Valley and River Falls
scenery.
In the kitchens of thousands OF
farm homes in the states mention
ed, copies of Tubbs almanacs and
cook books have hung on a nail
close to the kitchen range for
years. Because, like the Tubbs
medical preparations, the cook
books and alrnanacs have been the
best of their kind produced. AS
a result, people got to looking for
ward each year for the Tubbs pub
locations, and when they received
them, used them and preserved
them.
One of the most attractive and
popular pictures sent out years
ago by this firm was photograph
of w. E. Tubbs' son, Elmer, and
daughter, Vide, then little tots,
posing in costume as the family
doctor and the anxious mother,
with doll abed in tub as part
of the stage properties. This pic
ture, first used on a calendar, was
in great demand for long period.
Several variations of this pic
ture also were used, including one
in which the family doctor" and
the anxious mother had climbed
into the tub, and were floating
down the Kinnickinnic, with the
falls in the background. These at
tractive pictures were hung IN
many homes.

Green Mountain state. At first,
he prepared these for the use OF
his own family. Physicians ana
medical facilities were scarce In
the pioneer settlement and the
neighbors soon discovered that
Thomas Tubbs' home was a sure
source of aid for the injured and
afflicted in the neighborhood.
Neighborly requests for hnl-
ments and salves became so num-
erous and widespread, that Mr..
Tubbs began selling a number OF
his old fashioned remedies. From
year to year, as the reputation OF
these remedies spread, these sales
increased until 1881, when demand
resulted in Thomas Tubbs giving all
of his time and attention to the
production of preparations. For a
time, offices and laboratories were
maintained at his residence. Bust
ness increased to such an extent
that a printing plant for a time
was operated in conjunction with
the business.
A lifetime of manufacturing pre-
parations to relieve pain and dis
tress, has developed in the Tubbs
organization sound understand
ing of most of the common causes
of human ailments. AS a result,
Tubbs' remedies are prepared for
a specific purpose and are distrlb-
uted with confidence in the efflcl-
ency of their particular healing
qualities.
A visitor at the laboratories OF
this concern is bound to be favor
ably impressed by the order and
cleanliness of the entire establish
ment. Only the finest quality OF
materials are used in the nlanufac-
ture of the various preparations.
These materials all are subject to
exacting tests to determine their
purity. All medicines are guaran-
teed to meet the requirements OF
the federal pure food and drugs
act.
From front office to shipping
room, the headquarters of the
Tubbs Medicine Company are a
credit to officials and employees,
and to the city Of River Falls, as
well.

The present officers of the Tubbs
Medicine Company are:

F. NJ. White, Vice President
C. N. Wiger, Sec.-Treas.
G.. G.. Dewey, Pharmacist.

The business was established in
1881 by Thomas E. Tubbs. He was
succeeded by his son, w. E. Tubbs
in 1892. The business was incor-
porated in 1902 as the Tubbs Med
icine Company with $4,000 Of
capital stock. In 1910 the capital
ization, fully paid, was increased
to S35, 900. The offices and labora
tories of this concern now are
housed in extensive quarters at
Main and Elm streets in the down

JAMES BOYS WERE PIKERS

When the Westland Oil Company reduced the price of
gasoline cents per gallon recently in Sheridan County the
people got just that much relief from the oil monopoly
We read that gasoline prices dropped lower in
eastern states week ago. but the decline has yet arrived
in Montana.
About four weeks ago the price of gasoline was
advanced gallon in Montana by the group
roled by the Continental Oil Company which subsidiary
OF the Standard owing the unusual demand they said Now
it reduced New Jersey and New York because of
production.
The reduction in New York is from p to 20 cents a
gallon wholesale and from Is q retail The advance
IN Montana from Is 70 wholesale and II to e
cents retail Even the latter prices lower than charged
in Sheridan county.

experts According these figures the domestic production
IN the United States for 944 Us 900 gallons while
the consumption fell to 666,3470O0 gallons leaving
plus of 75,826,000 gallons
We have always thought that the method of fixing the price
OF gasoline strange But when the government shows
that more gasoline being produced by IS 100000 gallons
than IS being consumed in single month, it is more
strange why the price being kept Is gallon in Mon

The first of the planets and the near

which makes a revolution of the

Next the Earth makes it around
the sun in 365 days, taking the moon
with her as she goes.
Next is Mars, with two moons,
making the trip in 686 days. Next
is Jupiter with five moons, making a
trip around the sun in about II Of
our years. Jupiter is the largest
planet of the System, being 400
times as large as the Earth. Look
for it nearly south early in the eve
ming.
Next is Saturn with nine moons
and great rings making the round of
the sun in 30 of our years.
Saturn is one thousand times as
large as the earth. Next is Uranus
with four moons, making the round of
the sun in "a of our years.
Last is Neptune with two moons,
making the round of the sun in 1874
of our years at a distance Of $780,
100000 miles from the sun. This
great system is six billion miles
across and is only one of many mil

are in the midst of the reactionary

lions that the storm has passed east.
The next is Central, the 23rd, and

hear of unusual storms near this

The storm periods fer September
are Central the 4th, 9th, 18th, 31st
