This dread monster is called consumption.
The approach of consumption IS slew and
insidious. First there is slight disorder
Of the digestion. The appetite is poor and

thin and impure The body begins to starvc.
Old tissues of the body are not properly re
placed by new. The lung tissues are not
properly nourished and are inert and half
dead. In this condition they Offer good
soil for the germs Of consumption which
invade and attack them,
This operation is promptly reversed by

Thursday Evenings Storm.

A terrific wind and rain storm
struck the village soon after six
o'clock Thursday evening, lasting
only few moments but doing much
damage in its brief but very active
operations. Fl ying dust was settled
in moment, broken tree limbs and
twigs scattered about the streets,
wires snapped and the streets lcrt in
darkness for several hours.
Half dozen fine trees were split
down or toppled over by the wind.
On Pleasant street maple was
knocked over on to f. A. Wilson's
lawn, and part of tree opposite
Henry c. Johnson's blo:ked the
road, half being left standing.
Mountain avenue suffered most.
An apple tree on the Woodward
mansion grounds was torn up by the
roots, and two big pine trees, on
either side of Daniels house, were
broken off ten or twelve feet from
the ground, fallen tree limbs max.
the street impossible. A tree near
G. H. Harvey's also fell into the
road, making another blockade. In
the darkness, travel was trihe nm
safe that night.
The park also lost handsome
maple. No damage to buildings is
reported.
The electric light wires were
broken in four or five places, the
residence lights, however, not be-
ing affected. The telephone wire
was broken in front of II. c. John
sons and communication in some
directions cut off. Electrician Will
lis was at Taftsville when the lights
went out here and he hustled back
here on his wheel in the drenching
rain. The story is that he made
good time considering the weather
conditions.
The storm appears not to have
done much business outside the vii
lagc, spending itself farther down
the river.
