A Few Remarks
One third of a mans entire life is
spent in bed lie must be comfortable
there in order to sleop well and have his
strength and poise restored No one
thing contributes as vitally as clean full
sized comforts that are warm and
doubly warm by tucking in properly at
sides and foot What foolish economy
to seek out those dirt cheap factory
made skimpy counterfeits of comforts
that are filled with ground rags and
covered with cheap priuts while for
185 you can get the lzzer home made
comfort large clean soft warm The

it will bo made a ladies auxiliary to the
K of C Granada Court No 77 of Mc
Cook is the first instituted in this state
Tho ladies organized in July and
through Father Loughran asked for a

delayed on account of revision of tho
ritual Tho ritual is perfection in its
line and tho work is impressive Tho
ritual did not arrive till about three
weeks ago Since then the degree team
has been hard at work mastering the
mysteries and practicing tho work The
candidates and most of the Ks of C
thought that the K of C team would
put on tho work but a surprise was in
store for them The lis of J by
courtesy were allowed to be present and
witness the work
After the initiation all repaired to
Menards opera house where a two
courso luncheon was in waiting prepar
ed by the Daughters to be and their
mothers There was also a three piece
orchestra under the direction of Mrs E
O Vahue After the luncheon was dis
cussed the grand march was led by
Grand Regent Miss Anna Hunnan
Daugnters of Isabella aud Grand Knight

couples on the floor It was strictly a

National Hotel Damaged By Fire
Last Saturday evening about nine
oclock the National hotel was discover
ed to be afire in the atticJand by the
time the incipient blaze could be located
and extinquished the building and con
tents were damaged in a sum approxi
mating 1000 about equally divided be
tween furniture and building
Tho fire evidently originated in the
west attic in a bed room but as no one
was occupying chat part of the building
it is not known how
The loss is almost entirely from water
the fire doing but slight damage It is
very probable that a few fire extinguish
ers used by the fire department would
save much damage at times in interior
fires like this one
A considerable part of the hotel will
have to be plastered papered and paint
ed This loss together with that to
furniture is covered by insurance but
quite a heavy loss in business will result
which Mr Bosworth will have to stand
himself
Repairs are being rushed with all pos
sible speed

will soon be here and you will want to
prepare for the kind friend and little
