ENTHUSIASTIC OLD SOLDIERS.

At the recent national G.. a. II. en-

came to endorsing the administration
of President Mckinley and Secretary
of War Alger. The following is from
the published report
amid a scene OF great enthusiasm a
resolution was adopted declaring that
the Grand Army of the Republic had
watched with pride and satisfaction
the wise, conservative, unselfish, patri
otto and statesmaulike manner in
which our honored comrade, William
Mckinley, as president of the United
States, had met every demand which
the recent trouble with Spain imposed
upon our country, and also praising
the valor OF the army and navy AS
soon as the demonstration following
the adoption of the above resolution
had subsidized, the following was adopt
ed unanimously, with another demon.
stration:
Resolved, That from the knowledge
formed of our experience as soldiers
during four years OF active service, we
recognize the unfaltering energy and
patriotic devotion with which, as sec.
rotary of war, Gen. Alger, has borne
his weighty responsibilities aud per.

imposed on him by the recent war with
Spain in creating and maintaining SC

The success OF silk fabric weaving in
this city which has been in progress
for the past year has reached that
point where the Messrs. Belding Bros.
e. Co. are satisfied with the work ac'

superintendent f. w. Howard says a
dozen more looms have been ordered
and are already on their way to this
city. As soon as they arrive they will
be placed in the weaving room which
will increase the number to twenty
four. The manufacture of silk fabric
has necessarily been slow as the opera.

and the goods turned out have received

The child of seven, of ten, of fourteen,
the young person, the adult?
2. Does the child of nervous tenn
permanent need more or less sleep than
a phlegmatic child?
3. Why is sleep taken before mid
night worth so much more than that
taken after midnight, or in the day
time?
4. Does this give any reason for an
early bed hour?
s. Is it true that the waste tissues
of the body are repaired only during
sleep?
6. Then what is the result of in
s1iifcTcnC sIeep.
!. Why is it wrong to rock children
to sleep, to dandle them, to put them
to sleep in lighted room, to allow
them to sleep with much older people?
s. Have you noticed the injurious
effect of electric lights upon the sleep
Of plants, animals or human beings?
9. How may very careful atten-
ton to these principles be of very
great help to persons who inherit ten
denotes to nervous diseases or insanity?
How may care in these respects help
the child in his school work? In pre-
pairing for life?

Extract from Lecture by Mrs. Ienness Miller.

Few persons realize what Serious
results follow failure to properly care
for and c!othe the feet. Not more than
10 women out of every hundred, if as
many, are free from corns, bunions,
ingwowing nails or some form of trouble
produced from i'll fitting shoes.
The foot is complicated structure,
every bone. joint and muscle having
definite purpose in giving support and
poise to the figure. When shoes do not
fit the feet because of being too light,
or too loose. or not shaped Ito allow the
muscles normal play, not only do the
feet become deformed and covered with
painful growths, but the carriage of the
body loses grace and elasticity"
THE manufacturer of Jenness Miller
shoes for women claims to have achiev-
ed a triumph never before achieved by
any manufacturer of health shoes. He
claims to have made a handsome shoe
thai looks refined and attractive upon
the foot. and meets the requirement in
every single particular of a foot cover
ing designed according to natural
structure. This is a genuinely hygienic
shoe"

THURSDAY AFTERNOONS FIRE.
Fire IN Basement Of ]. S. cooper's Store
Causes a Heavy Loss.

James s. Coopers clothing store was
damaged by fire, water ana smoke.
Thursday afternoon, to quite an extent
though the greater part Of the damage
was by the latter causes. The fire origi-
mated in the cellar, either from a pi,e
Of ashes or from the furnace, and the
flames were kept from working up
wards only by hard fight by the fire.
men.
The fire was discovered by c. II.
Bates, who was erecting an awning
over the windows of the store He saw
smoke coming up from the windows in
the cellar and went inside to see if it
was from some cause that was known,
or from a fire. Russell Purnette. the
clerk, opened the cellar door and was
almost strangled in the cloud of smoke
that came out. Mr.. Bates FASTENED to
the store of Russell & Weston and Sc
cured an extinguisher, but it was of
little use.
In the meantime an alarm had been
rung in from Box 35 on the Granite
Bank block, and the two hose carts
were soon on the scene. Two lines Of
hose We're quickly strung, one lead
ing through basement window on the
front and the other leading by the way
Of Commercial street through door
into the stoe and to the stairway,
which was by this time opened.
For about 20 minutes these two
streams played upon the blaze which
was confined to the cellar. The smoke
filled the store and great clouds of it
rolled from the windows that We're open,
leading those upon the outside to be-
lieve the stock was afire.
AS soon as the fire was discovered
friends assisted in taking part of the
stock out of the store by the back win
dows. Much of the clothing was taken
out, as well as quantity of articles in
placed in the Hoyt express Office and in
that of E. Stone & Co.
The 'all OUT was sounded at BIS.
The damage to the building was not
great, though some of the floor timbers
were badly burned. This is fully COW
cred by insurance. There was no stock
of an consequence in the cellar, SO the
loss by fire at that point is practically
nothing. The loss by water and smoke
to the stock is hard to estimate but it
was fully covered by policies in Down
ing's and in Macomber Farr & Whit
tens agencies. In the former agency
there is $4,000 policy and in. the latter
one for $500 which covers the stock
and fixtures. The goods will soon be
moved back into the store.
The stock of j. W. Beck. next door
to Coopers was quite badly smoked
and the cellar was flooded with water
