The storage warehouse Of the Con-

Christiana River beyond Third stree
bridge, was destroyed by fire Thursday
causing loss OF about 510,LoO, which
Is covered by insurance. II rs supposed
that the building was ignited from u
fire with which boys had been play ing
near the structure. The building was
large, comprising q nest of seyera
houses with ground plan Of 160 by
140 feet, and the wood made such u
great blaze as TO give the impression,
from a distance, of more serious con
flagration. Outside of town it looked
as il much Of tho town was involved.
The fire was discovered by the watch
man, August Dore, about $3.50 O'Clock
and he shouted at the top of his voice,
but did not strike the fire alarm boz
nearby. Patrolman Thomas Kelley saw
the fire about the same time and called
out the district engines. from box No.
AZ. This was followed by a general
alarm, and in short time all the fire
companies were at work. Fortunately,
the icehouse was an isolated structure
and the flares were confined to it, even
the stable nearby escaping. The com
pany's wagons were under shed along
the eastern side of the building, and
all were removed free of damage. The
company had not begun to store this
seasons ice and the house was prac.
tically empty.
II was about midnight when The fire
men ceased to fight the fire.

HOME TRADERS EXCHANGE.


Interested IN Keeping Trade Here.
A petition is being circulated for the
calling Of meeting to consider the
organization of Home Traders Ex-
change. the object of which would be
to keep the trade of the people Of Will
mington in Wilmington 1t is sug-
gested that an organization be formed,
stock being taken by the persons in
teIested, and an Office building erected.
Ii is held that with sufficient money
in hand to purchase a site, q building
could be erected on borrowed money,
and would become self-supporting. In
it would be facilities for public meet
ings of various trade interests and ii
would have u hall suitable for lectures
and entertainments calling for good
accommodations. The hall might also
be used for large dinners.
At n recent meeting of the Board OF
Trade, suggestion was made that the
board put up a building, but it is
thought that the new organization sug-
gested would be the one to push such
project In fact the inactivity Of the
Board OF Trade is criticised.
In speaking in behalf of the move
nent for Home Traders Exchange, a
gentleman maintained that it should be
made unpopular to buy outside of Will
mington. He declared that the expendi-
ture of $40, ZOO or $50. 000 n month by
Wilmington people in Philadelphia was
serious business item. He mace the
point that goods could bo bought
cheaper here than in Philadelphia and
held that purchases here were for the
good of the whole city. The more pur-
chases made here, the better it will
be for the stores and the better for the
customers Of the stores.

NURSERY COOKERY.
DIET IN DISEASE.
By Christine Terhune Herrlck.
CONTINUED from last we

Continued from last week.)
So far in these papers reference has
been made chiefly to diet for healthy
children. The mother who has none others
will probablyhardly appreciate the crav-
ing that fills the soul of the woman who
has a delicate child to know what will
agree with her baby,-or even not disa-
gree with him. She can stand with toll
cradle patience the struggle to discover
something he can take during the first
months of his life, IL for any reason she
has been unable to nurse him herself.
She can even undergo the long agony of
seeing one highly recommended article
after another fail to suit his poor little
stomach, and can cheer herself up
through the first six months with the
helpful assurance bestowed upon her by
numberless kind old ladies that COLES
end with the first half year.
But when that apparently intermina-
BILE period is overland no one but a
mother who has had fragile infant
can guess how long 1t seems,--and the
poor baby defies precedent and contin-
ues to have stomach aches, the mothers
endurance is sorely taxed. 1t is no won
der that she becomes nervously anxious
about the little creatures food, and that
even when she has fought through the
sickly babyhood years into a delicate
childhood, the chief end of her life
should be the selection OF diet that
will suit him.
1t is ALMOST impossible to give positive
instructions with regard to the bill of
fare Of sick baby. So much depends
upon the form his weakness takes. Con-
stipation demands one kind of treat
ment, lax bowels another. Untold harm
is done by the readiness of the mother
to try remedies or palliatives suggested
by other matrons. 1t Is no wonder that
an inexperienced and anxious parent
srasps eagerly at any advice that may
help her darling, and such advice is al
ways given with an air of convic-
ton that carries weight. A high degree
| of moral courage is required to with
| stand the temptation to give the baby
who is suffering and plainly requires a
| change of some sort,-the article of food
| that another mother of wider experience
confidently asserts is the one thing he
needs to bring him into f1ourishing
condition. Sometimes the article sug-
| gested would be of benefit to the child
but 1t is risky to try experiments with
out the endorsement of the family ply
siciah.
Still there are few simple helps that
1t is always well for the mother to know
how to prepare. When told by her doc
tor to put grated flour ball in the food
for her baby, who is suffering from
diarrhoea she should have some idea of
how to make it, and the woman who has
a constipated child is pretty safe in adj
ding preparation of gluten flour to the
contents of the baby's bottle.
