Six business Places Completely Destroyed
A Drug Clerks Narrow Esoape-Aimosi
the Entire Center OF RidgeneId Burned,
Including the Town Hall.
RurHERroRD. n. J., Dec. "a severe
fire destroyed several buildings in this
town early this morning
It was not under control at O'Clock
and by that time II was feared that un'
less lre engines which had been summon.
cd from Passaic, arrived quickly the dam
age would be very extensive.
As It was, half a dozen stores IN the
business part of tho town had been burn
ed out They wero not occupied, so there
was no loss Of life although clerk who
was sleeping in a drug store had pard
work to got out before tho flames had bar
red his cgress
The fire was discovered at II o'clock.
A watohnnn employed ir the four story
brick structure known as McMane's build
ing at Depot square and Park avenue,
smolled smoke and descended into the Gel
lar to ascertain what was wrong. He
found a pile OF rubbish in flames
As the rutherford National bank is in
this building he lost no time in giving the
alarm, which brought to the scene the
volunteer fire department and their live
hand engines.
But before they had got well to work
the flames had spread, and, nOtwithstand-
ing the efforts of the flremen, several sur
rounding buildings were soon ablaze.
lt was seen that the home iiremen
would not be able to cope with the blaze,
and telephone messages were sent 10 Pas
saio begging that fire engines be sent at
. f.uN
but some time elapsed before their arri-
val Meanwhile the flames licked up ev-
crythng in their reach.
From McMane's building the fire OK
tended to Arswaldt q Pines shoe store
Nodon's stationery store, Hatch's phar.
macy and Myers dry goods store.
The Town Turned out.
BY this time every man in the town
was awake and was doing everything in
his power to help the ilremen in their ef-
forts 60 subdue the flames. Bucket bri-
gados werc,iormod, and from hand to hand
went the water TO fight the fire.
The greatest pains were directed to saw
ing McMaue's building The officers OF
the bank were on hand, and with work as
well as word did all they could.
The other places, which we're small, one
story affairs, went up like 80 much tin
der, and their contents were destroyed al
together
One momber Of the volunteer force was
struck by falling beam, and when he
was picked up, it was found that two ribs
had been fraotured. He was taken to his
home, and a physician was called from the
scene of the fire to care for him.
The upper floors of McMane's building
were occupied by 10 families, the mem
hers Of which were all sound asleep when
the alarm was given.
They had great difficulty in escaping
some Of them being forced TO rush out in
thoir night clothing. All, however, man
aged to got out of the building without
injury, but they lost all their property.
The Passaic flremen reached Ruther-
ford shortly before o'clock this morning
and soon thereafter the fire was thought
to be under control
Tho loss is estimated at fully $780, 600.

TO THE PUBLIC:
We believe that insure large profits the most econom
cal management and the best public service combined with

its subscribers and that this stock should be widely d
buted as possible.
One OF the many mistakes of the old company has been
and is that they give the Wilmington business men, their
patrons chance whatever participate in their
profits
The Delmarvia Telephone Company, the other hand
offers for sale its stock $1,000 per share (being pa) with
special inducements the subscribers its system
and pay for the the nstament plan of per cent
cash and the remainder in four equal monthly nstaments
Other subscribers to the capital stock will be required to

All cash received from sales of stock will be deposited by
the with the Farmers Bank Special Trust
Fund part of which will be until contracts are made
nsuring the completion of the Plant Should be unable
make such contracts the full will be refunded to
each subscriber without any deduction him what

The increase in the number of subscribers the sys
tenn guarantees increase of profits and there is
why in city of the size of Wilmington 5000 phones

Attached to the Southern train which arrived here from the east at 1920 o'clock last night was the private car of Presi- dent R. c. Hoffman of the Seaboard Air Line. In the car were President Hoff- man and Vice-President E. St. John and two or three friends, who came this far with them en route to the west.
 Vice-President St. John stated to an Age-Herald reporter. who talked with him at the depot that he and President Hoffman had come here merely to see Birmingham and that their visit had no significance whatever attached to their visit to this city.
 When asked about the extension of the Seaboard Air Line to Birmingham byway of the East and West Railroad of Alabama, now running between Pell City, Ala, and Gainesville, Ga, he said nothing of the kind was contemplated

Cotton Seed as Food,
Pittsburg Dispatch.

Pittsburg Dispatch.
 A South Carolina physician has discov- cred a new use for cotton seed meal. He says that it is valuable article of hu- man food and 1t is not by any means bad eating His first idea of using this neal as an article of diet was suggested by his young nephew, who after looking at the feeding of the cows took to eating the cotton seed meal from the feed bins. No restriction was laid upon the young ster, who for two years thfived well on his singular food.
 This led to experiments being tried in the kitchen, and one-third of the cotton seed meal was mixed with two-thirds white flour or corn meal. and baked or fried either as batter or dough. The mixture cooked well and possessed rich. nutty flavor. very pleasant to the palate. Cotton seed meal is very rich in albume- holds, or the nitrogenous clements (lesh and blood formers), as compared with the starch and fat elements Cheat producers) possessing nutritive ratio of to 1-that is, one of the former to one of the latter while that of the whole wheat is 1 to 6.
 It is well known that Graham flour, which contains all parts of the wheat, is almost perfect food. more nearly meet ing all the requirements of the human body than does any other natural pro- duct. The mixture of cotton seed meal with corn meal and white flour gives a combination almost identical in compost tion and nutritive ratio to wheat.
 In many states cotton seed meal is pro- duced in such quantities as to sell for 1 cent pound. The same states will buy annually millions of dollars worth of meal and flour at an average 1h cents a pound. The economic advantages of the use of cotton seed meal as a human food are obvious
