An Ex.Service Man.
Mr.. Levi was married about four
years ago and together with his wife
came to the Kerrick neighborhood
from +. st. Paul about two and one
half years ago and had since resided
there. They have no children. He
served in the World war where he
received leg injury and was gassed.
Apparently this had affected his mind
December 18th he was arrested for
whipping his wife but was released
on bonds, the hearing having been
set for Jan. 18th. This, neighbors
think, worked on his mind and was
too much for him to bear, so he de-
cided to end it all. After the whip
ping Mrs. Levi stayed at the home of
neighbors for few weeks fearing
further outbreaks, but had returned
to her husband about week ago.
After the man had passed away and
the coroner had pronounced it a sui
eide the body was removed to the Lar
son undertaking parlors at Sandstone
to be prepared for burial and to await
the arrival of relatives.
Parents i'm Wisconsin.
Besides his wife Levi leaves to
mourn his untimely death, his aged
parents at Glenwood, Wis; four sis
ters, Gene of st. Paul; Bertha, Fred
eric, Wis; Clara, White Bear; and
Maud, Emerald. Wis; and three both
es, Harley, Wilson, Wis; Louis, Still
water; and Cy, at Glenwood, Wis.
This sad case is accepted by many
as another war victim and deep SYM
pathy is extended to the bereaved
relatives.

Mr. Guptil was proud of his service
to his country as soldier and al

thrilling experiences he had been
through. In times passed he has par

Beroun there is Henry Stephan, father
of Mrs. Richard HOletz. He is the
sole survivor at Beroun and was nine
ty years of age on December 14th.
In spite of his advanced years he is
still able to do much work and is
honored and respected in the COM

prevention of this condition is simply
the application of common sense
regular meals, proper foods and not
too much, and thorough mastication.
There are many causes for indi-
gestion other than improper diet, and
it is these possible causes that make
it a complaint that should be looked
into. Not infrequently it is the only
manifestation, to yourself at least,
of chronic appendicitis; it is the early
and usual advance agent of ulcer
and cancer of the stomach; it is the
faithful companion of gall stones.
Kidney diseases are often preceded
by spells of indigestion; diseases of
the liver are almost constantly as
sOciated with indigestion, and it ac-
companies certain nervous disorders.
Constipation and indigestion are first
cousins
''Considering the many serious dis
eases, the first indication of which
may be indigestion, the question may
we'll be asked-'Why not discover
these diseases when first they appear,
at a time when treatment may be
effective?' Why wait so long to know
what the actual cause of your indi-
gestion is, only to find that you have
some organic disease that is then too
far advanced to be cured. Your in
examination by your physician. Ii
the only thing you need is correction
of your diet, and you follow the advice
given, you will be well repaid. If it
is found that your indigestion is the
beginning of some serious disease, it
may be that this early knowledge will
make it possible to add years to your
life. IT, however, you elect to guess
what the trouble causing your indi-
gestion is, and you guess diet, and
you are right-you are lucky. If you
guess diet, and you have the begin
ming of an ulcer of the stomach you
have made a mistake that you must
paw for. Guess work is poor policy.
1t pays poor dividends in both health
and comfort.
Isn't it plain that there is a cause
for your indigestion, and isn't it equal
ly plain that the proper treatment is
the removal of that cause? Do not
get the habit of taking drugs, no mat
ter how harmless you may consider
them Don't get to be a pill swal-
lower Your stomach should accom-
modate anything you ought to eat
without being drugged after each
meal with digestive mixtures Bak-
ing soda is not much good for cancer
of the stomach, and patent medicines
haven't very high score for cures
in chronic appendicitis.
IF you are having distress and in
digestion after meals, and if simple
regulation of your diet, such as eat
ing regularly and cutting down on
the amount of food and eating we'll
balanced meals fails to effect a
prompt relief, lose no time in ascer-
tanning the real cause"
Three good rules to follow when
eating are:
1. Don't put anything more into
YOUR mouth until you have swallowed
what you are chewing.
2. Don't voluntarily swallow.
3. Don't drink water or other liq-
uids when you have food in your
mouth.

In June, 1895, Harriet Mellon, a
young and beautiful provincial actress
went up to London, chaperoned by her
mother and stepfsther, Mr.. and Mrs.
Entwistle, to get an engagement with
the great Richard Brinsley Sheridan.
Sheridan kept her in uncertainty.
While waiting chance to see him
Harriet went out walking one day. She
was far from home and quite tired
when a kindly looking old fellow asked
her If she would like coach.
Eyes, indeed" she replied, and
please drive me all over London before
you take me home"
La love ye, miss" said the man,
shat would cost We sight o money"
But look here" said Harriet. I
have a shilling to pay you.
The coachman told her to get in and
took the shilling. But only quarter Of
the way was completed when he SAID
he could go no farther.
He was mistaken. Tears in her eyes,
Miss Mellon wheedled him so success
fully that he drove her few blocks
more, and he ended up by taking her
the whole way.
Perhaps this was Harriet's first adj
venture in gold digging. 1t was hum
bic beginning toward vastly more I'M
portant affairs.
When she finally got her hearing with
Sheridan he requested her to read the
scenes of Lydia Languish and Mrs.
Malaprop from his play THE Rivals"

life! I would rather read 1t to FL

FOOD PROBLEMS

Do you attempt to keep house without
thermometer? If you do, you deny
yourself . convenience that Is Of slight
expense.
An ordinary air thermometer should
be kept hanging in the kitchen, say, S
feet from the floor, at some distance
from the stove. Remember that, save
in warm weather, the temperature in
the kitchen should be kept below 20, if
possible. The thermometer will serve as
reminder to open windows and doors
This same thermometer may be used
to test your refrigerator. Remember
that perishable food should be kept be-
low so, preferably below as, degrees.
Occasionally test the temperature of
your refrigerator in various sections
You will find that 1t is much cooler
directly below the ice section, and there
you should keep milk, and meat, too, II
possible. Fruits and vegetables may be
kept in the parts that are not so cool.
This same thermometer may be used to
test the air where bread is to be raised.
Some women regard an oven ther-
mometer as indispensable. Undoubtedly.
one Is doing much baking, the oven
thermometer removes the hazard that
comes from q too hot or too cold oven.
The fireless cooker thermometer may be
used to test an oven as well.
Any one who makes candy should in
vest in sugar thermometer, and this
may be used to advantage in making
jellieS and jams. A small thermometer
should be kept in the kitchen, If the
babys meals are prepared there. Ger
tainly this is a Surer and more sanitary
method of testing the temperature of
milk than by using the little finger or
tasting.
Last but not least Of the thermometers
useful in the house is the bath ther-
mometer, which simplif1es the problem
of getting bath water the right tenn
perature when first drawn. Many a
mother has caused herself much anxiety
and her baby very audible discomfort
by putting him into a bath many de-
grees too hot or many degrees too cold.

August s, 1S65.-Promising news re-
Sardinr the laying of the Atlantic tele-
praph cable was received here today.
According to The Evening Star this
afternoon. the Great Eastern, which Is
Iavirr the cable from East to West
scross the ocean, was about 450 miles
from Valencia when last heard from.
eve NAV now expect to hear of the
arrival of the Great Eastern on our
coast at any moment" says The Star,
"snd of the failure, or the success of
the great experiment..
The last signals received were good
over the cable, and it was reported that
the weather was fine. The Great East
ern then had been at work seven days,
having begun operations Saturday, the
pond ultin1o, at 8 o'clock In the morn
inc landing the shore end and paying
ont the first 81 miles of the cable on
that day.
Nearly the whole of the second day
was consumed in making the splice be-
tween the shore end and the ocean cable
proper. The paying out Of the ocean
cable was begun on that day at IS min
utes after 4 o'clock in the afternoon.
Another delay occurred Monday, in
the afternoon, when 1t was discovered
that there was some defect in the insu-
lation of the cable. Preparations were
Immediately made to run under the
cable laid and find this defect. But 1t
proved to be due to kink, apparently
in a part of the cable still on the
ship. and that laid was not taken up.
The cable now being laid is 1880
miles long and l Ia inches in diameter.
The weight of the mass is said to be
over 5000 tons, and the Great Eastern
is the only vessel in the world capable
of carving it. The core" or conduc-
tor is made Of seven fine copper wires
twisted in a strand.

! England. Suppose, sir, you did me the
honor of reading 1t to me-"
Delighted with this naivete, Sheridan
actually complied. More than that, he
engaged her for the part Of Lydia
Languish.
Harriet may have been as simple and
childlike as she seemed. But the facts
indicate that she had as practical a
bent as a present-day heroine of fic-
ton celebrated in a book, on the stage
and on the screen by Anita LooS. Fur
thermore, she was aided by hard
boiled director in the shape Of her
mother, lady who could neither read
nor write, but who always had her eyes
open for the main chance.
Harriet made good on the London
stage. She married an 80-yea- multi
millionaire banker, Thomas Coutts, and
quit the stage.
Coutts died and left her all his
money. His widow soon after pro-
ceeded to another off-stage triumph.
She married the Duke of st. Adams, 20
years her junior, but much IN love with
her, nevertheless.
On the whole, the duchess was an
extremely likable person. She was
good humored, kind-hearted, charitable.
She never forgot her early days and
was never ashamed of them.
when I was a poor girl, working
hard for my 80 shillings a week" was
a preface she often used in beginning
some Renaissance.
Her first husband, Coutts, was father
of several children by an earlier wife.
He had cut them off in his will, but
Harriet made liberal provision for them.
