Fire Record. for Last Year.

The fact that when a servant be.
comes master a cruel foe is suddenly
developed is attested by the dreadful
havoc and loss of life occasioned by
fire in the United States within the
IL months covered by summing up
of these losses for 1906. This record
shows that nearly 1000 lives were
lost and more than $500. 100000 worth
of property was destroyed by fire dur
ing that period. In no other country
in the world is the fire loss, in bulk
or pro rata, anywhere near our own.
Last year, owing to the devastating
fire that followed the earthquake in
San Francisco, this loss was in great
excess Of the average, but the average
for some years past has been $780,.

IN THE SICK ROOM
UP-TO.DATE METHODS OF CARING
FOR PATIENTS.
Modern Science Teaches Many Ways
Of AIleviating Suffering and Pro-
noting the Recovery Of strick-
en- Loved Ones.

When there is prospect of long
illness two small cots that cost so
little may be placed together, making
it easy to move the patient from one
to the other when changing the bed
ding, and permitting each one to be
thoroughly aired each day. Otherwise
the ideal sick bed is single one of
iron, the length and width of those
used in hospitals. With this should
be fine woven wire spring and a
thin hair mattress. Of the water
beds, those filled by means of a pitch
er and funnel are said to be the best
The temperature of the water should
be kept about 70 degrees and must be
changed every two weeks. The bed
must never touch the walls. The rest
for the head is the feather pillow
changed or beaten when it becomes
.uncomfortably hot. Small pillows of
varying sizes should be used to tuck
under back of knees when change of
position is necessary. Paper torn in
fine bits is nice for these. Here is
the way a trained nurse in a hospital
makes up the beds: She begins by
tucking the lower sheet, preferably
of cotton (for linen chills excepting in
mid-summer), snugly and smoothly
over the mattress. This should be
protected in case of severe illness
with rubber blanket or paper pad.
The sheet is pinned in place, taking
care to have a perfectly smooth sur
face under the patient. The corners
of the sheet are folded square, as the
grocer folds the edges of the paper
he wraps around a parcel Next a
draw sheet is laid on smoothly and
pinned in place. In spreading the up
per sheet it is brought up we'll to the
head of the bed, so it will turn back
nicely over the other clothes, but left
little loose for the feet. Next comes
the blanket, the folded edge at the
foot, and lightweight counterpart,
which, with the sheet, should be fold
ed carefully in at the corners and
tucked under smooth and tight at the
sides.
To Change the Bed.-In changing

der and the other against the hips.
Roll up the lower sheet in lengthwise
folds against the patient. Put on
fresh sheet, and draw sheet and pin
in place. Roll the patient over, pro-
tecting with the upper sheet, and pull
the lower sheet smooth. Pin. Put
clean upper sheet on over the soiled
one, then tuck the clean one in and
remove the soiled one.
Sippingto- Foot of Bed.-If pa
tient is troubled by slipping down in
bed, the foot may be slightly raised
by putting bricks or blocks under it,
or a small bolster may be tucked un-
der the thighs, then tied around the
head of the bed with tapes.

Almond Crisps,

Stir to a cream two-thirds of a cup
full of butter and one heaping cupful
of sugar. Beat into this the yolks of
two eggs, three tablespoonfuls of lem
on juice and one scant teaspoonful of
almond extract. Add two cupfuls of
twicesifted flour and the well-whipped
whites of two eggs. Beat very thor
oughly' and work in sufficient more
flour to make a dough which can be
kneaded. Roll out small portions at a
time very thin, cut into fancy shapes,
brush over with white Of egg, sprinkle
with blanched shredded almonds, and
dredge with granulated sugar. Bake
in moderate oven, watching closely.

PINE TREE BREAD.
kAMScHATKANS USE THE INNER
BARK OF PINE TREES.

Wholesome 1read-The Pine
Keeps tho Blood Pure and
The Body Healthy.

In Kamschatka the people live in
earth-covered pits. Mr.. KEENAN, CON-
pares the sound of their language to
that of water running out Of narrow
mouth jug. Their bread is made from
the inner bark of the Pine Tree, mace
rated in water and baked without flour.
They are hardy race, the Pine keep
ing the blood pure and the various or.
gans of the body in healthy condi-
ton. Consumption is unknown among
them.
A noted specialist in throat and lung
trouble, who established a camp for
consumptives in the Pine Woods of
Maine, and whose remarkable cures
there have attracted great attention
from the medical world, says that one
half ounce of the Pure Virgin Oil of
Pine, mixed with two ounces of City,
cerine and one-half pint Of good Whis-
ky and used in teaspoonful doses, will
heal and strengthen the lungs, break
up cold in twenty-four hours, and
cure any cough that is durable. The
ingredients can be secured from any
prescription druggist at small cost.
Inquiry at the prescription depart
ment of leading local druggist elicit
ed the information that the Pure Vir-
gin Oil Of Pine is put up only in half
ounce Walls for dispensing. Each vial
is securely sealed in a round wooden
case, with engraved wrapper, showing
the name-Virgin Oil Of Pine (Pure)

many rank limitations of Virgin Oil

centrated Oil of Pine, Pine Balsam,
etc. Never accept these as a substi-
tute for the Pure Virgin Oil of Pine, as
they will invariably produce nausea
and never effect the desired results.

DREADED TO EAT.
A Quaker Couples Experience.

How many persons dread to eat their
meals, although actually hungry near
ly all the time!
Nature never intended this should
be SO, for we are given thing called
appetite that should guide US as to
what the system needs at any time
and can digest.
But we get in hurry, swallow our
food very much as we shovel coal into
the furnace, and our sense Of appetite
becomes unnatural and perverted,
Then we eat the wrong kind of food
or eat too much, and there you are
indigestion and its accompanying
miseries.
A Phila. lady said, the other day:
my husband and I have been sick
and nervous for Is or 20 years from
drinking coffee-feverish, Indigestion,
totally unfit, good part of the time,
for work or pleasure. We actually
dreaded to eat our meals.
1--WE tried doctors and patent medi-
cines that counted up into hundreds of
dollars, with little if any benefit.
"Accidentlly, a small package of
Postum came into my hands. I made
some according to directions, with sur
prising results. We both liked it and
have not used any coffee since.
"The dull feeling after meals has
left US and we feel better every way.
We are so well satisfied with Postum
that we recommend it to our friends
who have been made sick and nervous
and miserable by coffee" Name given

Self Made Men.

Several communications appearing in
the Gazette recently in which the ex-
preston "Sell.nade Man" was used
have reminded me of an ancedote which

Two candidates we're running for a
certain elective position. and one who was
known as what is called a "self made
man." conducted his own canvass. The
other was represented bya friend.
At q joint discus, on one day the
candidate spoke first. His speech con-
sisted principally of The fact that they
all knew him: that he YVES "self made
man." When the turn of the man re-
presenting the other candidate came he
said: "Mr. has said that be is a
'self-made man. l believe that, but,
my friends, the MAJ | am rel ressnling
God made him, and there is as much
difference in the men as in the makers"
Judge Nicol has given up all ambition
that would have benefited him person
ally that be might serve his people in
Congress. He has shown himself The true
metal Let us show our appreciation
of the sacrifice. Let US remember that
"God made him." A word to the wise
