POWDER MILL is WIPED OUT.
Ten Buildings Are Totally Demolished
Not Vestiqe Remainnu,


Connellsville, Pa, Sept. 10. - The
Rand powder mills at Fair Chance,
six miles south of Uniontown, were en-
tlrely wiped out by an explosion at 9
o'clock Saturday morning. OF the
thirty-two men who were at work in
the mills, nineteen are dead. Of these
thirteen have been identified.
Scores of people in the town of Fair
Chance, within half mile of the
powder mills, were more or less pain
fully injured. The shock of the ex.
plosion was distinctly felt in Con.
nellsville, twenty miles away, where
buildings were rocked on their founda-
lions. At Uniontown hundreds of
panes of glass We're broken.
Walls Battered In.
In the town of Fair Chance there is
scarcely house that did not suffer
damage. The sides were battered in
as though axes has been used. Hay
stacks were toppled over in the fields
and live stock was stunned. The rails
of the Baltimore & Ohio railway and
the West Pennsylvania Traction Rail-
way company were torl from the
roadbed and traffic was delayed sew
eral hours.
A Baltimore & Ohio train had just
passed the Rand mills when the ex-
plosion occurred. The windows in the
passenger coaches were shattered and
passengers thrown into a panic Had
the train been a few seconds late it
would have been blown up, as the
mills were within a few rods of the
tracks. A street car on the West
Pennsylvania railway had also passed
just few seconds before the explo-
sion, and was far enough away to
escape damage, though it was de-
rallied.
Ten Buildings Demolished.
There were seven explosions in all.
Every one of the ten buildings was to-
tally demolished. Not q vestige of
them remains. The debris that was
strewn over the ten acres of ground
where the plant was located took fire
soon after the explosion and added it's
terrors to the disaster.
The dismembered remains of the
killed were burned in many instances.
Identification of many was made by
parts of the clothing alone.
The first three explosions were not
as serious as the last four. Then the
packing house, pressing room and
magazine blew up, followed by two
cars of dynamite standing on near
by railroad siding, which were set of
by the conclusion from the powder ex-
plosion.
Two other cars remained intact
and it was with difficulty that they
were moved to a place of safety after
the explosion.

teachers from Principal j. Frank Me-

candy and other tokens of Christmas
cheer and many of the pupils returned
the compliments with gifts aud kindly

This was known as reform by the nose. and was carried out by the officer seizing the noses of his men and twisting them. The cries of the victims were smothered-by order-by their comrades, who had to sing patriotic songs while the reform was put into force. Ironically enough this gained the company the nickname of the jolly squad"

 According to Dr. T. l.. Macdonald the prosperous and strenuous mental life, combined with gorging, explains the frequency of Bright's disease in

Mental activity and physi- cal quiescence aid in its production and carking care and worry are also causa- | tive factors. Brights disease is prone to attack the intellectual and the anxious.

 A rubber film glove has been de- vlsed for surgeons. The gloves are put on" by immersing the hands in a weak solution of gutta percha in ben zine or acetone. The purpose of the film is to seal the surfaces of the hands with an insoluble, impervious and practically imperceptible pellicle, which will not admit blood pus or secretions. Such protective measure for sur geons is said to be preferable to work ing with rubber gloves, inasmuch as the sense of touch or pliability of the skin Is not impaired in any way.

 My husband had dyspepsia when we were married and had suffered from 1t for several years. It was al. most impossible to find anything he could eat without bad results.
 T thought this was largely due to the use of coffee and persuaded him to discontinue it. He did so, and be. gan to drink Postum Food Coffee. The change did him good from the begin. ming. his digestion improved he suf. fered much less from his nervousness and when he added Grape-Nuts food to his diet he was soon entirely cured
 My friend, Mrs. - - of Vicks burg (my former home), had become a nervous wreck also from dyspepsia travel help her. On my last visit home, some months ago. persuaded her to use Grape Nuts food. She was In despair, and consented. She stuck 10 1t until it restored her health SC completely that she is now the most enthusiastic friend of Grape-Nuts that ever knew. She eats 1t with cream or dry, just as It comes from the pack age-keeps it in her room and eats it whenever she feels like it.
 began eating Grape-Nuts food, myself, when my baby was two months old, and I don't know what should have done without it. My ap petite was gone. was weak and nerv. ous and afforded but very little nour. ishment for the child. The Grape Nuts food. of which I soon grew very Iond, speedily set all this right again. ana the baby grew healthful. rosy and beautiful as mother could wish. He is two years old now and eats Grape Nuts food himself. I wish every tired young mother knew of the good that urape Nuts would do her.
