RANGER REAL HERO

Fire Fighters Face Great Dangers in Forest How Pulaski, by Coolness and Bravery, Prevented the Loss of ThirtyFive of Hl* Crew in Cour d'Alene. New York. —Prof. Welling, tanned and toughened by his summer’s work in the Coeur d’Alene national forest reservation, held his eastern Visitors spellbound with stories of the fight he had helped to make against the fearful forest fires, says the Youtlfs Companion. He had gone out, with two others, under government commission, to study the forest* and, coming back in August, they had met the fires and ■pent almost a month in fighting their way out of them. “There are real men among those forest rangers,” he went on. “In fact, there is no place for anything that is not genuine up there. The most thrilling story of heroism that I have heard in a long time is the story of Ranger Pulaski. It did not happen in the part of the reservation where I was, but I can vouch for its truth, ■ for I have talked with wme of the men who were with him. “Pulaski had forty men under him, and they had been fighting a big fire for hours. Suddenly the wind rose until it blew a gale. The fire got beyond them, and it became a question of saving the lives of the men. They were many miles from a railroad or a clearing. “Pulaski remembered that pbout a mile from where they- were working was an abandoned mine shaft that ran back about forty feet into the hillside. He ordered the men to snatch their blankets from the camp and run for this shaft. Once there, tliey packed themselves like sardines into the hole. Pulaski placed himself at the opening and stretched a blanket across it. “In a few minutes the fire overtook them. The blanket at the opening caught and Pulaski jerked it away. Again and again this was done, and when the supply of blankets ran low he held the burning fragments across the mouth of the shaft with his bare hands.

“The suffering of the men from the heat and smoke was pitiful. They were fairly maddened by it, and some of them made a wild attempt to push their way out of the shaft. For a while Pulaski held them back by sheer physical strength, for he was an unusually strong man. But he knew that he must soon be overpowered and that the men, in their frenzy, would rush out to certain death. He drew his revolver and told them that he would kill the first man who attempted to break away. The men knew that he meant it, too, and that knowledge brought them back to reason. “It wasn’t more than twenty minutes before the worst of the fire had passed the shaft. When it was safe to crawl out they found that five of the men were dead from suffocation, but the other thirty-five were all right Pulaski himself was blinded and burned, but his sight was partly restored. He lost five men, to be sure, but with less courage and presence of mind he would have lost them alt 1 take off my hat to such a man. He 1* a real hero ”

HOUSEHOLD QUESTIONS

If your floor matting has faded, but is not worn, give it a coat of varnish in any desired shade of varnish stain, and it will wear longer and look fine. To take out the' mark sometimes left after cleaning! a garment with gasoline, lay over the place a piece of clean white tissue paper, and press with a“hot iron. This will at once remove all trace of the stain. If shoes have been thoroughly wet don’t attempt to dry them near the stove. Rub in plenty of vaseline or plain lard and let stand In a cool place several days, and much of the original oil will be restored. If the bedstead is really brass, a piece oLflannel moistened In salt and vinegar will clean it. Slightly touch the spots, then with a clean flannel rub the entire surface of the brass, using a little whiting on a dry flannel as a final polish. Don’t pass hours each week blacking your stove. Ten cents’ worth of stove enamel, which can be applied in a few minutes, will last six months, and all it needs is a daily wiping off with a damp cloth. Besides, it looks nnpsh better than blacking. If you are troubled with black beetles in your rooms, make a paste of red lead, flour and water, roll out thinly with a glass bottle, and put on a hot baking sheet to dry. Strew around pipes and corners that they frequent. These wafers are highly poisonous, so must not be placed where children or household pets can get at them.

It formed a crust on his head, hair fell out and the itch was terrible. When he would scratch the crust, the water would ooze out in big drops. Oh face and body it was in a dry form and would scale off. He was in great misery and at nights I would He awake holding his hands so that he could not scratch and disfigure himself. I tried simple remedies at first, then got medicine, but it did no good.
