Wilkesbarre, March IL. -Epid5mics
of small pox and other diseases now
threaten the valleys which, for the
last three days, have been flooded,
and the health department has been

will readily transform it into a dis.

APPLES CURE BA ID H4 BITS

st. Louis, March IL. Apples are
sure cure for the drink habit, the to
bacco habit and the low morals which
lead to crime, says John T. Stenson,
director of pomology at The Void s
Fair, Pamphlets setting forth the
efficacy Of apples rs a cure for bad
habits will be distributed with one
million apples on Apple Dav, Sept. 81
In order to work cure by means of
the apple diet, Mr.. Stenson advises
that when one has craving for a
smoke or drink of liquor he take an
apple in its place; if there is a tend
ency to do something desperate, sit
down and quietly eat an apple and re
fleet over it. Just what medical prop
erty is contained in the apple Mr..
Stenson does not pretend to say. SEN
ator Cockrell's moral life and high
standard of craftsmanship is cited as
an incident of the refining influence
Of apples. 1t is a well-known fact
that the Senator makes bis lunch of
apples every day to the exclusion of
all other food, and has kept up this
diet for thirty years.

ABOUT THE STATE.

A gang of burglars entered the
grocery store of r. d. Fuller in Rut-
land during Wednesday night, cutting
a pane of glass out of window. They
secured So from the cash register and
escaped. Several similar events have
lately happened there, and it looks
like the work of amateurs.
Sullivan Canarel and Joseph Ross,
who have small stores near Fort Ethan
Allen, got into an altercatiou during
which Ross, it is claimed, drew a re-
volver and threatened to shoot Oanatel.
The latter then drew out razor and
slashed Ross across the face, cutting
deep cash over the nose and under
each eye, He followed this up with
two or more deep outs in the neck and
back. Ross has been arrested and
bound over.

physician; but dreading that he would
insist on using the knife, I would not
consent to go. Instead, got Cuticura

took the former according to direc.
tions, and spread thick layer of the
Ointment on the swelling. On renew
ing 1t would battle my neck in very
warm water and Cuticura Soap. In q
few days the Cuticura Ointment had
drawn the swelling to head, when 1t
broke. Every morning 1t was opened
with large sterilized needle, squeezed
and bathed, and fresh Ointment put
on. Pus and blood, and yellow,
chessy, humorous matter came out. In
about three or four weeks time this
treatment completely eliminated the
tumor. The soreness that had ex-
tended down into my chest was all
gone, and my neck now seems to be
perfectly well.

RICHMOND FIRE.

Richmond, March 12. The loss in
the Richmond fire which occurred on

at between So 600 and $12, 600. The
two. story structure in which was To-
GATED the furniture store and under.

panv. A. Ralli carried insurance on

the building and fxtures-$2 81, 600 with
the Vermont Mutual of Montpelier,
81, 600 with the Union Mutual and
$500 in other companies.
TIE origin of the fire, which started
in the work room of the undertaking
establishment, is mystery, the gen
eral belief being that it was sponta-
neous combustion.
The town has little fire protection
and, Immediately after the fire
started, it was readily seen that the
bucket brigade was no match for the
rapidly spreading flames and aid was
sent for to Waterbury, Burlington and
Winooski, all of these places respond
ing to the call. The Waterbury com =
pauy was the first on the ground, and,
connecting the hose with the water
tank near the condensed milk factory
did effective work until the water sup.
ply gave out The Winooski depart
ment had by that time arrived and,
after some delay caused by the local
companies being unable to effect an
opening in the ice on the river, nearly
300 rods away, they did some import
ant work, finally getting the fire UNI
der control after about three hours
work
At the fire during the afternoon the
young ladies Of the Richmond Under
wear factory and others furnished
lunch TO he tired f1remen which was
much appreciated. Arthur Kirby, a
fireman from the village, was hurt in
the left eye by falling clapboard,
while Andrew Anderson, of Winooski,
has several fingers badly cut by fall
