How much did
K -.. 4L.1 4
JKJAR RM.ZM. VU9I
last winter t
Pretty big sum wasn't it?
Now can you figure up how
much of the heat generated
by that fuel was wasted? If
your stove is the ordinary,
putty jointed, side door, un-
der-draft affair, you can safely assume that
over one-third the heating power of the coal
was wasted.
A dollar's worth of stove putty will plug
up the seams in twenty stoves but it don't
keep them air tight.
A few week's use and the putty shrinks
and falls out, leaving air sucking cracks,
which force the heat and unburned gases up
the chimney. Whether you burn hard or
soft coal, a great percentage of the available
heating power is gas, soft coal is fully one
half gas. To get your money's worth from
your fuel you must have a stove which is
tight enough to hold back these gases until
burned. And Cole's Original Hot Blast
Stove does this. The air tight construction
(made without stove putty) holds back the
gases until they are consumed by the pat
ent Hot Blast Draft There is absolutely no
waste. A hat full of the cheapest coal holds
fire over night. See the name COLE'S HOT
BLAST, from Chicago on the feed door.
None genuine without it. Ask or write us
for a free booklet on the scientific combus
tion of fuel which also tells all about COLES
HOT BLAST. Price $12 and up.

a host of friends in extending hearty
congratulations to the young couple.
BBLIiWOOD
From the Gazette:
The renter who has $100 in money
makes a mistake every day he keeps it
out of land that will make him a good
home. A great many seem wholly un
able to understand the opportunities
open to them on the small farm. With
good milk cows and chickens, the 40-
acre farm can be made a good home and
made to yield not a small income. A
person no longer need farm a section of
land to make little money.
William Butler, one .of the oldest set
tlers in Butler oounty, died October 22,
1906, at the hospital in David City. He
was a man whose word was as good as
his bond, whose heart was ever open to
the cry of distress. Bone Creek had no
better citizen within its limits.
J. W. Bernhardt dropped into Bell,
wood Wednesday afternoon and during
the night put up at room number 4 in
the Bellwood house. About six o'clock
next morning when in a dream about his
bat, which he thought some fellow was
about to take in mistake for his own
and he was about to call him pet names,
all of a sudden the ceiling overdue bed
went "kerplunk" on him. Such a load
fell on him that it took some time to get
out from under the weight and he now
thanks his stars that his wife is not a
widow.
er of the bride. After the ceremony the
newly wedded couple together with re
latives and friends, drove out to the
home of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Bogan,
west of town, where a reception was
held, Mrs. Rogan being a sister of the
bride. Mr. and Mrs. Langen will make
their home in Tarnov, where Mr. Langen
has charge of the Kehoe elevator.
Platte Center is about to loose one of
its oldest and most respected families.
Between now and the fifteenth of this
month the W. L. Kent family will move
to North Bend, where Mr. Kent has pur
chased the lumber yard of the Walrath
& Sherwood Lumber company. He has
lived in Platte Center since 1882, and
has managed a lumber yard for someone
else nearly all that time. But he has
become tired of being a "hired man"
and is going to' do for himself. Success
to him is the wish of the entire
community. A gentleman named Stan
ton, from Wood River, the party whom
Ed Macken relieved at that point, will
succeed Mr. Kent here.
LINDSAY.
From the Opinion.
The band gave their third dance Tues
day evening with a large crowd in at
tendance. O. T. Boen and W. A. McAllister of
Columbus, were in town Monday attend
ing the directors meeting of the Lind
say State bank.
Miss Mayme Rathburn resumed teach
ing Monday in tSe school south of town,
which was closed one week on ac
count of scarlet fever in that locality.
The board of directors of the Lindsay
State bank, met in this city Monday
afternoon and elected W. B. Miller cash
ier and Arthur Carlson, assistant.
Mr. and Mrs. Nels Hosselbach and son
of St. Edward and Mrs. Julia Rasmus
sen of Columbus, were guests Sunday of
Messrs. Lauesen and Rasmussen.
After a careful canvas of the town Mr.
Paul VanAckeren has decided to install
a complete and up-to-date electric light
system for Lindsay. Already over 400
lights have been contracted for, the city
alone taking 62 16-candle power lights
for the streets and it is expected that
many more will be contracted for before
the plant is installed. It is contemplat
ed to have the plant in operation by the
first of the year. Mr. VanAckeren
should have the earnest support of all
the business interests of Lindsay.
PLATTK CENTER
From The Signal.
The hitching posts which were re
moved from in front of Max Bruckner's
and the Smith Mercantile stores last
summer, were replaced the first of this
week. Whether other business men on
the street will do likewise remains to be
seen.
The Platte Center band, although it
was organized three or four months ago,
has made but little progress towards
playing until very recently. Therehave
been many changes since it was first
started, a number of those who first
joined have drooped out and others
have taken places, and in several in
stances the boys have exchanged instru
ments, thus being assigned to parts
more suitable to them. As the evenings
become longer they find move time to
practice, and are makiaf fine progress.
They will give a dance Thanksgiving
night, and.expect to be able to play
several pieces in public on that oonaaiop.
The marriage of Maanos Langen asd
Miss Tillie Fitzimmons was duly solemn
ized st St Joseph's ehxrnh in Platte
Center Tuesday morning. The bride

hopes of the climate improving Mrs.
Compton's health.
Mrs. Goens of the Indian school, hav
ing received the appointment of laun
dress in the Indian service, departed the
last week for the Santce agency in South
Dakota to accept the position. Mrs.
Goens hopes to get transferred to the
school here in the near future.
The masonic lodge laid the. corner
stone for the new Masonic temple in
this city Tuesday last. The officers of
the grand lodge and a large number of
masons from other towns were in attend
ance. The ceremonies were very inter
esting and consisted of a parade, speak
ing and mnsic. The editor having been
absent this week we are unable to give
much of a write up of the affair. When
completed the masons will have one, of
the finest homes in the state.

BOILED POTATOES.
Why They SaaaM Always Be Ceekc
la Bellia Water.
Pare potatoes with a sharp vegetable
knife just as thin as possible, for that
part of the tuber lying close to the skin
is richest hi mineral salts, and put each
potato as peeled into a pan of cold wa
ter to prevent discoloration. Have
ready meanwhile a kettle of lsoiling
water and when the peeling pre ss is
complete take the potatoes from the
cold water and, covering them with
boiling salted water, set them on the
range, covered, to boil. Twenty min
utes usually suffice, but to test them
use a skewer or fork, and when they
can be pierced easily remove at once
from the fire, pour off all the water
and set them on the back of the range,
uncovered, to steam dry, assisting that
process occasionally by .a slight shak
ing of the kettle.
If one asks the reason why potatoes
should always be cooked in boiling wa
ter try the following experiment for
proof: Take two cups, in each of which
has been put a teaspoonf ul of ordinary
starch. Pour over one a quarter of a
cupful of boiling water and over the
other the same quantity of cold water
and observe the result. The one over
which the boiling water was poured
stays In shape, a compact mass, while
the one with the cold water dissolves
into a soft paste. The potato is largely
composed of starch, and from this
trial any one may draw his own con
clusions. If you wish a pulpy, watery
potato use cold water, but if a dry,
mealy, snowy ball that would delight
the heart of Epicurus himself always
use boiling water.
WEARING APPAREL.
The Taale, the Tosa and the Leather
Dren of the Ancients.
Ancient wearing apparel was not cut
to fit, as is our modern clothing. Hav
ing no definite shape of its own, it did
not disguise the wearer's figure, and
the grace and beauty of Greek drapery
are dependent almost entirely on the
perfect proportions of the figure be
neath. The tunic worn by both Greeks
ami Romans was little, if at all, -fitted
to the wearer and when ungirded
hung in folds all round, while the toga
was little more than a sheet and was
worn In all sorts of ways, according to
the prevailing fashion. The Jews of
old seem to have worn breeches, but
the rest of their clothing seems to
have been simply wrapped round them,
for it was difficult for them to run or
even walk fast without first "girding
up their loins." The clothing of tho
northern races was probably always
more of a fit than that of the southern,
for they used leather, which does not
lend itself to simple draping, but our
ancestors probably wore an almost
shapeless tunic belted at the waist.
Another striking difference is found
in the gradual monopoly by women of
the ornamental element in dress. Once
masculine dress was by far the most
splendid, and woman, holding an abso
lutely subordinate social position, had
to content herself with humbler attire.
As she has won her way to freedom
and equality she has annexed not only
the beautiful, but the extravagant ele
ments of costume and left man to con
tent himself with a condition of color
less utility.
Fish Swallow Sand.
Captains of fishing smacks in the
North sea have found that codfish at
certain times of the year take sand in
to their stomachs as "ballast." This, it
would appear, is done when the fish
are about to migrate from the shallow
water covering the southern banks or
the North sea to the deeper water far
ther north. It has been observed that
fish caught on the southern hanks just
before the migration begins and those
caught in the northern waters after it
is completed have sand in their stom
achs and that the sand is discharged
after the arrival of the fish at the
southern banks on the return migra
tion. In proof of this it is stated that
the sand found in the fish often differs
in color and quality from that of the
bottom where they are caught. Wash
ington Post.
Chile aad Aadew.
Two ways, Chili and Chile, is the
name of our South American neighbor
written. Chile is the Spanish and Chil
ean form. The name is commonly ex
plained as an old Peruvian word for
snow, the allusion being to the Andes.
But "Chili" has also been identified as
a native South American word, "chili,"
meaning cold, which would make it
really the "chilly" country. As to the
meaning of "Andes," there is plenty of
choice. The word lias been variously
interpreted as signifying the haunt of
the tapir, the region of copper, the
home of the Anti tribe and the site of
the "Andeues," Spanish gardens on the
mountain terraces.
