DRINK THE CAUSE OR MORE
CRIME In OUR CITY.

Another horrible tragedy in our
midst, causing much excitement and
bitter feeling. goes down a long line
of crime in this country resulting from
excessive use of LIQUOR. The liquor
habit is universally recognized by
physicians as a disease. 1t can be
cured by Orrine.
This meritorious cure is the result
of over ten years scientific research
by a Washington chemist. 1t has
been tested by physicians who pro
nounce it wonderful. We have made
arrangements with the laboratories of
the Orrine Company, Inc, Washing
ton, D. c., to furnish Orrine to people
who are DESTROYS of being freed from
this horrible disease caused by the ex-
cessive use of whisky, beer or other
alcoholic stimulants. Orrine No. Gin

paper interview with Mrs. Gertrude
Atherton, the novelist, who has been In
this country for a few weeks. She was
talking about London society, where
they say she has a very good position
indeed, and which she pronounced as
the most delightful and entertaining in
the world. London society is growing
to be more and more democratic all the
time, she said, as far as rank and wealth
are concerned. Of course great wealth
counts there as it does everywhere, but
not unless it is spent judiciously and
tastefully and backed up by something
else. The keynote of London society,
she declared, was its absolute refusal to
be bored. Any one who could contrib
ute to society's amusement and enter
tainment, who could give it a new thrill.

Home RESPONSIBILITIES.

Every member of the family should
have a feeling of responsibility about
the care of the home. A bag or ham.
per for soiled clothes should be In
the bathroom or in every closet, and
the men and boys should be asked to
put their soiled handkerchiefs there
instead of throwing them on the floor.
Tell them. too, that when untieing a
bundle the good pieces of paper must
be put away on the shelf reserved
for that purpose and that II they do
not do 1t someone else will have to
do 1t for them. Also let them learn
to roll up good pieces of string and
put them In the string box on the
shelf with the wrapping paper. Let
them put torn pieces of paper in the

throwing them on floor for someone
else to pick 1t up-in fact, let all re.

Met Death in STRANGE WAY.

Charles Palmer, an employee of the
Camp Glass company in Smethport,
Pa, was roasted to death the other
morning when engaged in making re-
pairs to a gas supply pipe. Palmer's
duties were to maintain the heat of
the furnaces at the required tempera
ture. The melting tanks are so ar
ranged that the supply of gas flame
is turned on alternately from one side
to another. Each Of the two supply
pipes is large enough to admit the
body of man, Palmer. when the
flame was passing through the ad-
joining pipe, crawled into the unused
one, and his assistant changed the
supply, sending the burning gas
through the pipe in which Palmer was
at work Before the mistake was
known Palmer's body was burned to
a crisp.
