ATHLET
Basket Ball Season Nears.
BY Charles Gallagher

Football season is over as far as Ely
teams are concerned and we now turn
our attention to basketball Ely Junior
College, who heretofore has had only
mediocre teams, looks this year as if
they will have grand chance to cop
the northern half of the Little Ten
conference. With the return of four
Jaysees veterans of last year, two for
mer high school players, two recruits
of last years squad and five members
of last years championship high team,
this years squad will be well fortified
with two or more exceptional players
for each position.
Gouze, Smrekar, Hill and Grahek
will fight for the forward berthS, with
Gerzn and Merhar as the pivot men.
Skala, Tub" and "Hoot" Banoyetz and
Lahti at guards will form two complete
teams with ten very good men so that
the Collegians will not need to worry
about recruits this year. Pluth, for
ward; Swanson, guard; and Heikala
another utility man are also out for
berths on the squad.
The Collegians will open the con-
ference schedule late this month when
they meet the Duluth Junior College
five this month in Duluth Twelve
games appear so far ON the Jaysee's
schedule, home and home games will
be played with Virginia, Duluth, Hib-
bing, Eveleth and Coleraine Junior
Colleges and Duluth State Teachers
College. A preseason game will be
played with the Ely High school team
prior to their first game early in Dec

HOW TO KEEP WELL


The avoidance of overheating Is one
thing Of outstanding importance In
connection with good ventilation" !"
states the bulletin issued today by the
Minnesota State Medical Association.
Because overheating is so universal
and because it is such a menace to
good air too much cannot be said
about the positive control Of artificial
heat. A few simple rules will be given
which will help the householder, in
particular, TO operate the heating
plant for good ventilation.
When the room temperature Is
nearly high enough the heat should be
cut of. This can be done by turning
the radiators of by the hand valve
from the room or by valve in the
furnace or boiler room which can be
operated by hand. But better than
this is modern, electrically operated
thermoStat heat regulator, which con-
trolls the heat according to the varying
outdoor conditions of temperature and
wind forces Such system will give
the most satisfactory heat control
The thermoStat should be set as
low as is consistent with the comfort
of the room occupants, never higher
than SO degrees. Usually the room
temperature will vary from time to
time one or two degrees higher or
lower than that for which the ther-
mostat is set Invariably the mistake
is made of setting the thermostat too
high. Some companies advise 10 de-
grees. This is too high.
Many engineers give no heed to
outside temperature. They fire as
heavily on mild days as on cold days.
The less firing done on mild days the
better. Let the fire smolder without
shaking it down.
"A high fire is economical in run
ming a furnace. Shake the ashes
gently morning and night in ordinary
weather and in mild weather once

school placed all Of its eleven players
on the teams.
On the aIl-conference team, which
includes Superior schools, Morgan Park
received three berths on both first
and second mythical teams and had
three players given honorable men
ton. Nine Park players received
places altogether, which again was
more than any Of the other schools
received.
Coach Chinn has been very sue
cessful in his first venture as high
school coach and both he and his
players have received due credit. We
hope that Chinn has even greater sue
cess with his basnetban team.
The Ely miner., 1929-11-22

day or once every other day. Some
times once a week is sufficient
Never shake the ashes until live
Goals fall through the CRATES, but stop
when you see light glow in the ash
pit. Don't open the ash pit door wide
for draft, because this forces the fire
too much A slight opening Of the ash
pit draft will raise gentle combustion
and give moderate amount OF hot
vapor to the heating system, and if the
circulation is unobStructed through
out the system gentle heat will be de-
lvered in all rooms.
when the heat has been secured
the fire should be checked by tightly
closing all drafts at the ash pit and
opening the check damper, which
should be located in the smokepipe
between the turn damper and the
chimney. This prevents air from get
ting to the fire bed and thus checks
the fire
Warm air is more flexible than
steam or hot water and consequently
requires more attention to drafts. The
same rules generally should be fol-
lowed. Humidity should be added at
the furnace by means of a constant
level water pan located above the COM
bustion chamber, allowing the steam
to be carried to the rooms through the
warm air ducts. It is important TO
have cold air return registers from the
lower rooms to the furnace having an
area equalling or exceeding all the de-
livery registers combined.
Where the comfort and health of
the occupants of homes, schools, office
buildings and other indoor places de-
pend so much upon heat control the
responsibility for this service should
be vested in an intelligent and re-
sponsible individual, who will study
his heating plant and his building in
order to secure the best results.

INSIDE INFORMATION"

Many interstate shipments of ad-
liberated foods and drugs are seized
yearly by the Food, Drug and Insect
icide Administration. This is to pro-
tect the public from harmful or other
wist illegal preparations of foods and
drugs
The Federal Food and Drugs act re-
quires truthful labelling of foods and
drugs 1t has no control over adver-
tising. The wise buyer will compare
label statements with the advertising
in deciding the probable dependability
of claims for a preparation.
When buying goods it pays to COM
pare the net weight statements on the
packages of similar foods of the same
quality. The Federal Food and Drugs
act insists that the statements of
weight be accurate. The buyer who
reads and compares will get most for
his money.
Whether cooled by ice or mechanical
unit, some parts of the household re-
frigerator are cooler than others. Lo-
cate these by leaving a thermometer
part of the box, and reserve them for
keeping meat, milk, and other except
ionally perishable foods. The coldest
spot is that first reached by descend
ing currents of cold air leaving the re-
frigerator compartment, and in many
boxes will be found Immediately be-
low the ice chamber. In some boxes
there are partitions or other means of
guiding the circulation of cold air, and
it is necessary TO study the construc-
ton of your box and take temper
atures in order to be sure you know
where the coldest place is.

country name for dish made of
dried blackeyed peas, ond rice. Wash
one cup of the peas well and cook
them in covered pan in or more

Cook y cups of rice for about 20 min

soft to the center, drain and pour cold
water enough through it to remove the
surplus starch and keep the grains
