Don't eat anything but well cooked
and nutritious food. If hash is put on
for breakfast, go out and whistle to see
if your neighbours dog is safe.

the premises are admirable, with one
vital exception. The well which sup
plies the water to these cows is under
the COW stables, all stoned in tight,
with closed pump on top. Immedia-
ately in the rear of the stables is the
yard, and in this, under a shed roof, lie
tons of manure. One could not cross
this yard-except by a path near the
barn-without sinking ankle deep in
liquid filth. Under this must run some
of the veins which are feeders to the
well.
This is not a very inviting subject,
but its Importance in a sanitary point
of view is so great as to render it ne
cessary to speak plainly and without
apology. The consumers in our large
cities should know that these things
actually exist. Knowing this, and re-
alizing the danger, they will perhaps
be able to seek and apply the remedy.

Fleeing Before the Storm He
Raised.

About two months ago the Rev. j. b.
Cutler, pastor of the Congregational
church of Hebron, Conn, preached a
very strong sermon against Mormon
ism. j. b. Fillmore, an influential
member of the congregation, who had
been divorced from three wives and re-
Gently married a fourth, took offence
ut some of the statements made by his
pastor, and claimed that they were
pointed against him. He consulted with
his friends, and by them was worked
into a passion. He engaged counsel
and brought suit against the Rev. Mr..
Cutler for defamation of character and
Islander, laying his damages at $4,000.
The second move in the fight was
made by FillmOre'S friends. They cir
culated Il petition through the town
which called for church meeting for
the avowed purpose of removing Pas
tor Cutler and, after many weeks, Il
sufficient number of signatures was Sc
cured. The meeting was called for
| Thursday, November 3. Every mem
Der of the church was present, ready
and anxious to declare their cOnvic-
tons as to who was right and who
was wrong, the OutspOken minister or
the indignant member. The Rev. Mr..
Cutler was named for chairman of the
meeting. He refused to act in that
capacity, and the Rev. Mr.. Sharpe was
appointed in his stead.
| Mr.. Fillmore denounced his pastor
as liar and hypOcrite, and requested
that his accusation should he entered
on the church records. Mr.. Gilbert,
the secretary of the meeting, said that
he must refuse to make the desired
entry because, were he to do so, he
would he recording a scandal against
/ the minister. Chairman Sharpe APP
proved the secretary's course, and re-
marked that no such an action as Mr..
| Fillmore had requested could he taken
until the charges against the Rev. Mr..
| Cutler were proven.
He had hardly ceased talking when
Ephraim Wilcox, prominent member
of the church, sprang to his feet, and
| i'll loud voice moved to consider the
matter of turning Mr.. Fillmore and his
fourth wife out of the church. The
next man to speak was Mr.. Griswold
! Burnham, another leading member OF
the church. He warmly seconded the
motion of Mr.. Wilcox. The motion
was debated long and earnestly, but il
was finally decided to take no action
until after the trial.
Mr.. Fillmore, Immediately after the
meeting issued posters advertising the
fact that he would sell his place al
auction on Thursday, the 18th of this
month. On Saturday he withdrew hi,
suit for damages against the minister
and on Thursday last, he sold his prop.
erty. He says that he will leave
Hebron, with what pleasant recollec.
tons may be imagined, on Monday
next. Everything seems to have con
spired to effect the downfall of Mr.
Fillmore. From his first two wives he
had without difficulty obtained di
vOrces, but when he attempted recently
to be divorced from Mrs. Fillmore mum
Der three she made counter petition
and was divorced from him, besides
getting 800. The majority of til,
