THE ATWOOD FIRE IN MIDDLEBURY.
A serious fire occurred just over the
line in Middlebury, last week, in which
big barn and storehouse belonging to
the Atwood Brothers (sons of Van Buren,
Atwood), were completely demolished.
Inc Atwood Brothers bought this place
OF their father, and have since improved
IL by adding modern machinery and in
otner ways increasing the facilities for
carrying on their extensive milk business.
Inc fire was discovered in the afternoon
when the men were working in the field
and before they could reach it it had got
beyond control. They succeeded, how
ever, in getting out six horses, One re-
fused to come out and was burned. The
total loss was $4,000, with insurance in
b. d. Mattoon's Agency of 1920.

THE ATWOOD BROTHERS BURNED OUT.
The community was aroused from its
usual quiet on Tuesday by the news that
the house, formerly owned by Var
Bruen Atwood, now managed by four of
his sons, had been totally destroyed by
fire. About 1920 flames were discovered
in the woodhouse. Theodore Atwood
soon arrived on the scene and started at
once for. the horses. He succeeded in
getting out all but one. The housekeep-
er and few neighbors helping him to
get out what they could, but the flames
spread so rapidly and were so fercely
hot that but little was accomplished.
All the harnesses, farm implements, hav,
clothing, money, watches and great
part of the household stores were burned.
The loss is estimated at 81 900 insurance,

The
Cruel Knife!

The alarming increase in the number
of deaths which occur as the result of a
surgical operation is attracting general
attention, and a strong sentiment
against such methods of treatment is
fast developing among the most intel1i-
gent classes. 1t seems that in almost
every case for which the doctors treat
ment is unsuccessful, the learned physi-
clans decide at once that an operation
must be performed, and the keen blads
of the surgeon is recklessly resorted to.
Doctors are human, and of course are
liable to make mistakes, but their mis-
takes are too fatal to be INDUCED in
promiscuously, and as so many lives are
sacrificed in this manner, it is but natural
for the public to believe that half the
operations are unnecessary, besides be-
ing fearfu1 risk to human life, even if
successful.
1t is a positive fact, however, that all
operations are not necessary, and that
majority of them are absolutely under
taken without the slightest chance of
success. The doctors have never been
able to cure blood disease, and a sur
gica1 operation is their only method OF
treating deep-seated cases, such as cam
Ger and scrofulous affections. Aside
from the great danger, an operation
never did and never will cure cancer, as
the disease never fails to return. Can
Ger is in the blood, and common sense
teaches anyone that no disease can be
cut from the blood.
