The house of Mr. and Mrs Frederick
Keuhne in the Purchase, with the

finished his dinner, about IL IS, he
thought he smelled smoke and stepped
out doors to see if anything was
wrong. He discovered smoke issuing
between the shingles on the back roof
Of his house. He gave the alarm at
once and went to work with might
and main to save his house. Several
neighbors were soon on hand and all
worked with will but the fire under
the roof had gained great Roadway
and not being able to get at it they
All turned to saving the furniture and
they we're able to get out most of the
furniture on the first floor and few
things in the cellar, but were unable to
secure anything on the second floor
Besides the furniture on the second
floor they lost all their clothing except
what they had on and $22 in cash.. Mr.
Keuhne has just completed making
several improvements on his house and
since he purchased the place about
eight years ago has laid1 out consider

Mr. and Mrs Keuhpe had worked hard
for their home and had just got where
they felt they could enjoy it and this

$1,000. There wasl small insurance
on the house and furniture. They
have a host of friends who sympathize
with them in their loss. Mr. and Mrs
Keuhne wish through the columns of
The BEE to thank all the neighbors

Going through the hospitals in our large cities one is surprised to find such large proportion of the patients lying on those snow-white beds women and girls, who are either awaiting or recovering from serions operations.
 Why should this be the case? Sim ply because they have neglected them- selves. Female troubles are certainly on the increase among the women of this country--they creep upon them unawares, but every one of those patients in the hospital beds had plenty of warning in that bearing-down feel ing, pain at left or right of the abdomen, nervous exhaustion, pain in the small of the back. dizziness, fatulency, dis placements of the organs or irregular ities. All of these symptoms are indi- cations of an unhealthy condition of the female organs, and if not needed the penalty has to be paid by a danger ous operation. When these symptoms manifest themselves, do not drag along until you are obliged to go to the hos pital and submit to an operation but remember that Lydia B.

The Gospel of Buddha. According 10
 old Records.

Told by Dr. Paul Carnes. The bulk of this book is derived from the old Buddhist canon. Much of 1t is literal translation from original texts. Other parts are more freely rendered. others are rearranged, others are ab- fbreviated. Besides the introductory and three concluding chapters there are, only few purely original additions. These do not deviate from the doc- trines as taught, by Buddha. -
 There Is table of references which points out the parallelism with Chris tian Gospel Buddhism, like Chris tianity, is split up into snany sects. This volume does not follow the sec tartan doctrines but takes an ideal position upon which all true Buddnlsts may stand as upon common ground The data of Buddha's life are pre- scented in the light of their rellgio- philosophical importance. Most or the apochrypha1 admonents are cut out. .s'The reader is warned" writes pr. Carnes in his preface; ito take the term self in the sense in which. Budd- ha uses it. Buddha does not deny mans mentality, his spiritual constitu- ton, the importance of his personality in word, his soul"
 Buddha claims that mans soul does not consist of the things, of a demon (self) and of a manos (thought, but that soul is thought alone. The thoughts of man are his soul. We of the Western world know that
