The medicinal value of honey seems
little understood. and likewise its
value as an article of diet, considered
from an economic point of view. In
the majority Of families 1t is con-
sidered Il luxury rather than neces-
slty or an economy. and why this
should be is n mystery. During the
past year 10 cents per pound has been
the ruling price. 1t has been abund-
ant and of exceptional quality and yet,
in spite of these facts. we find 1t but
little In use as compared with the
quantity that could be used to adj
vantage, both as regards taste and
health of the family, To say nothing OF
the lighter drain upon the family
purse that would be found comparing
the price of pure honey with that of
good grade OF butter. The latter arti-
Gle is seldom to be had. in "a quality
that is really desirable, for less than
10 cents per pound, and II is more Of
ten 20 cents than less. Honey at 10
cents per pound is to be had in an I'M
limited quantity. and IL is very patent
that a pound of honey will go much
further than pound of butter used
upon bread hot or cold.
To be sure the average mortal will
spread butter upon the bread before
the honey. But not more than half
the amount of butter will be used

DESTROYED BY FIRE.
Two Two-Story Residences Burned to the
Ground This Morning,
NEAR NINTH EAST AND TENTH SOUTH


Midway between four and Ave o'clock
this morning, fire broke out in the rest
dence of A. T. sutherland, near the
corner of Ninth East and Tenth South
streets, and with the aid OF u strong
south wind, the flames spread to
another house, $50 feet distant and oc-
cupled by b. S. Harrington. with the
result that both were totally destroyed,
entailing loss OF a sum in the neigh
borhood of $500.
It was 4:S5 when the fire department
was summoned by telephone to the
scene Of the connagration. The run
was made with all possible haste. but
the fire had gained such n good start
as to completely annihllate the possi-
bility OF saving anything. However.
the boys soon had several streams
playing on the burning buildings, but
their efforts were almost In vain, for
within an hour the structures and most
OF their contents were reduced to ashes,
"A charred frame work being all that
was left to tell the tale OF the destruc-
ton of two magnificent two-story resi-
dence houses.
The Sutherland dwelling was we'll
in flames before the occupants knew
anything about it, and as they were
sleeping in upstairs apartments their
escape had to be made from a second
story window. This being a brick
structure the progress of the fire was
somewhat cut off by the walls and a
little furniture was saved but nothing
to speak of. The Harrington house
was frame one and nearly everything
in 1t in the shape of furniture was
| totally destroyed.
| Chief Devine looks upon this con-
| nagration as strong argument In
| favor Of n fire station in that vicinity
| He says 1t is so remotely located from
| the business center. as to be entirely
| beyond the aid of the central fire sta
ton, and therefore citizens are placed
entirely at the mercy of the aid which
a bucket brigade will give.
Mr.. Sutherland. the first named vic
tim, is a clerk In the employ OF IT

leprosy an Exclusively Human Disease

The active cause of leprosy is u spe-
ciflc micro-organism, the bacillus
leprae. The period Of incubation varies
from a few minutes to several years.
Two principal types or forms of
leprosy that are recognized as the
brunt of the disease are determined to-
Ward the skin or toward the peripheral
nervous system. The first form Is
termed tubercular; the second, anes-
thetic, or nerve leprosy. In the first
form infiltrations occur in the skin,
forming nodules or tuberclcs. which
are especially prominent about the
forehead. cheeks and ears; later. these
nodules break down, forming ulcerat-
ing sores; often they occasion pictures
OF horrible deformity The tubercular
form Is the most severe and rapidly
fatal; the average duration OF life is
from five to ten years. In the anes-
thetic form the nutrition of the skin is
interfered with from implication of the
nerves, leading to contractions and de-
formities of the members: not infre-
quently there is marked mutilation
from the sinking In of the nose, the
loss of the sight, and the dropping off
of the fingers and toes, so that only
the stumps of the hands and feet re-
main. In this form the course of the
disease is slower, and life may be pro-
longed to ten or fifteen years, or longer.
Some patients exhibit the characters
tics OF both forms linked leprosy).
Leprosy Is an exclusively human
disease; II is not inocuble to animals.
1t is never of spontaneous origin, but
is invariably derived from the LESSONS
or secretions of n person similarly
diseased. Its development in coun-
try previously exempt from the disease
may always be traced to it's importa-
ton in the person of leper from an
infected center. We know nothing
definitely OF the mode of infection OF
the channels of entrance through
which the bacillus gains access to the
organism-whether by direct contact
by inhalation or inhibition of the
germs. or by other Intermediates. oh.
servation proves conclusively that
every leper Is possible source of dan
ger to all with whom he may come into
| intimate and prolonged contact.-Fron
