Caution Advised Against
Summer Food Poisoning.

The late summer months OCCASION
ally see outbreaks of food poisoning
which ere traced to contaminated food
that has been allowed to stand unduly
in the heat.
Special consideration of the posi-
bility of this kind of summer accident is
advised by the committee on public
health education of the Minnesota State
Medical association, today.
Several outbreaks of recent years have
been traced to bakery goods such as
cakes or pies with cream or cuStard
Filings. The pies Or cakes had been
contaminated in handling or in pre-
pairing the Filings and then they had
been left on display in a warm shop for
hours until they were sold. The warm
filling provided an excellent medium
for growth of the bacteria and, by the
time the CONNECTIONS were eaten, they
were seriously poisoned.
During hot weather especially, the
committee advises against purchase of
such bakery goods unless the pur-
chaser is certain that every care is
taken against contamination by flies
or by employees in the kitchen and un-
less they are perfectly fresh or are
kept until they are sold in a cold place.

Buckley's Squad Starts Practice
First of Week With Three
Regulars in Lineup.

Members of the Ely high school
football squad started practice the first
of the week in preparation for the
coming season, which will be inaugur-
ated with the game at Hibbing under
the lights, Friday, Sept. 9.
With only three regulars, all linemen,
from last years squad back, Coach
Edward Buckley has the job of building
an entirely new team facing him. All
of last years backfield, ends and guards
from a squad that tied with Virginia
for range football honors, were gradu-
ated last spring.
Some likely prospects, however, in
the form of reserves and first and Sec
ond year men are being groomed to
fill the vacancies made through gradu-
alton.
Klun and Needing, starting linemen,
and Zaic, reserve lineman who saw con-
siderable service during the 1887 CAM
paign, are the only regulars on this
years squad. Others who saw service
last year are Tuomala, Banks, TomSich,
and Prola substitute backs; Mestnick
substitute guard; Senta substitute CEN
ter, and Markovich, LeBeau, Grahek
and KruSe. Freshmen and Sophomores
who are being eyed as possible material
include Luhtanen, Prisk, Mills, Rowe
Hutar and Kalan.
There has been some talk of forming
a league among range cities for the
coming season, but whether or not il
will go through is a matter of conjec-

LENGTHEN THE LIFE
OF LINOLEUM.

To prolong the life of linoleum start
caring for it right from the beginning.
Printed linoleum is a painted surface
and should be treated as such. It is
waXed when it comes from the factory
but after a few months of wear should
be rewaxed frequently. When the paint
begins to show signs of wear, remove
all wax with a good washing and var
niSh before waxing. This will prolong
the life of the painted surface.
Inlaid linoleum should never be
scrubbed with soap and water. This
dries out the linoleum, makes it liable
to crack and adds the danger of rotting
the burlap backing. Wipe it up with
clear water and keep it waxed. Use a
brush Or dust mop for daily cleaning.
Casters will cut linoleum so provide
for glass or metal casters under them
If heavy furniture must be moved across
linoleum, place a piece of old rug or
carpet under it to prevent cutting.

HAZARDS IN THE
BABY'S LIFE.

Life is full of hazards for babies as
we'll as adults 1t is dangerous to go
out, and according to statistics, it is
even more dangerous to stay at home
Sometimes even being careful is danger
GUS. Statistics are not so definite about
accidents to babies but there are many,
some unpredictable and some actually
unavoidable. A recent article in
Parents Magazine gives the following
advice.
Many babies get burned when tea
kettles, coffee pots, steaming cups of
this and that are pulled over by small
exploring hands. Tubs and pals of hot
water are left unguarded for just a
minute. Electric irons and coasters
with their cords dangling are a tempt
alton to the baby. A child should never
be left alone in a bathtub for he might
turn on the hot water, and hot water
should never be added when a baby is
already in the tub. Getting burned"
hazards can be reduced by watchfulness,
foresight and common sense. The word
"hot" is a good first" word for
child's vocabulary.
In spite of warnings, pins are
another common hazard. Count the
pinS-if one is missing, don't stop until
you find it. There are safety pins with
side pices that are too large to enter
the baby's mouth.
Falls cause many accidents. Help a
baby to go up and down few stairs
before he has chance at all OF them
Don't carry baby up or down stairs
when carrying other things. Do not
leave a child alone in high chat.
From the babyis 6-months age on, a
small play pen is indispensable when
ever mother must go out of the house
or down to the basement. The child
may not always like it but he will oe
safe, and if it is used only when
needed and he has interesting play
things, it will not be disliked. Sharp
bjects-knives, forks, scissors and
razor blades-are always menace.
Electric light cords should be ex-
amined often and always insulated with

Twenty-Five Years Ago
From Issue of Aug. %, 1913.

The R. S. Miller store was Quilted by

called the firemen who were at the
ball park and who soon had water on
the burning structure, but not until the
contents were destroyed. T. E. Miller,
manager of the store, figured the
damages at $4,000 with insurance at
$4,000. Mr.. and Mrs. H. E. Berg, who
had rooms over the store and who were
on the lake at the time, lost their en-
tire household effects.

improvement of Sheridan Street be-
tween First Avenue in the original
townsite and Sixth Avenue in White
sides Addition. The council also passed
ordinance No. 6, prohibiting the dis

Boy Accidently
Shoots His Sister.

Morton-The eight year-old daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. Carl LiSke was acct
dentally shot by her brother one day
last week. The accident occurred when
an old boy took a 40 gauge shotgun
out to the barnyard to brighten a mad
dened bull. In his hurry he failed to
see his sister who came between him
and the maddened animal. A physician
was called and he took the child to a
Redwood Falls hospital where x-rays
revealed the position of the shot. 1t
was fortunate for the child that the
greatest number of shot were buried in
her right arm. One shot in the face
and several on her body caused some
alarm. However, if no complications
arise, the small girl is expected to be
able to return home soon, none the
worse for the experience.

Child ChelUs is
Aspirin Pills.

Carlton-A four year-old child, Ruby
Switzer, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Orval
Switzer of the Holyoke community de-
cided recently she liked aspirin To
satisfy her desire, Ruby climbed to the
top shelf of the cupboard, reached a
full box of sixteen tablets and proceeded
to eat. The parents were not at home
at the time and other children of the
family were busy and did not see the
youngster getting the aspirin. When
she had eaten all but half tablet she
showed the box to her sister. Little
Ruby then fell asleep and after about
two hours began to vomit, which she
kept up for "a hours. Bleeding then
set in and there were no hopes for re-
covery until at midnight the following
day when improvement began to be
noticed.

been working at a height of fifty feet

employer was painting higher on the
roof at the time, and although he was
lying across the sliding rope, did not get
jerked down with it. ReddiSh-brown
paint was splashed over the court
house building and yard for quite a
distance, so the painters hurried to
remove it before it dried, leaving them
little time to worry about their narrow
escape.

Gus superintendent of the schools af-

completed so far. Under preliminary
arrangements league members would
have to play at least four games with
other conference members to be eligible
for championship honors.
Ten cities have been named for men,
bership in the league. They include
Ely, Virginia, Eveleth, Buhl, Chisholm,
Hibbing, Grand Rapids, Coleraine and
Nashwauk. Ely's schedule includes four
Of these cities, so it could meet the
four-game rule without any adjustment
in its present schedule.
Last year the Ely high gridders tied
with Virginia for range honors, each
team having five wins, one loss, and one
tie. The local squad, however, turned
back the Virginia team, Is to Z, here
before crowd of over thousand fans.
ElyS one defeat was at the hands of
Gilbert, who turned the trick by a IA
to 6 count. Ely played a scoreless tie
with International Falls, the fourth
game with the Falls squad to end in a
tie in as many years. Besides the Vir-
ginia victory, other wins were at the
expense of Aurora, Eveleth, Tower and
BiWabik.
This years schedule includes the same
teams as last years with the exception
of the opening game. A year ago Coach
Buckley's crew met a comparatively
easy Biwabik squad here while this year
they travel to Hibbing to take on one
of the toughest elevens in northern
Minnesota.
The schedule includes four home
gameS-Eveleth, Virginia, International
Falls and Gilbert, in the order named
and should provide some classy foot

the happiest man in the world last
Saturday morning when he found he
had regained the sight of one eye in
which he had been blind for seven
years. He could see as well with the
eye that had rested seven years as he
could with the good eye. A physicians
explanation of the miracle is that a
pressure that had most likely been on
the brain all these years must have
been removed.
