The alarm was sounded by ringing the
academy and church bells, firing guns
and pistols, which soon aroused the
sleeping citizens who rushed at once
to the scene of the eonfagration. By

its various contents and igniting in

1t was thought Hawkins's drug store
was doomed and the men commenced
to carry out whatever they could by
hand, first breaking some glass coun-

men to save the building by throwing
water on it till the danger was
passed.

from destruction. Thus the flames

RESTS BABY'S NERVES

We hear almost too much of nerve rest nowadays, but there Is not often much said of giving the baby nerve rest.
 Imagine how you would like to be danced or ioggled or made to show off in all your waking hours Yet that Is the fate of the average baby from the time 1t is big enough to take notice.
 Is 1t any wonder that children de- velop Saint Vitus dance or get in- flammation of the brain, not to speak of horrld dispositions? What they need fig nerve rest,
 The more you ignore the baby tho less you treat it as prodigy, tho more comfort 1t and you will have in years to come.
 Do not have your child show off no matter how much Its crnnIncness may tempt you to go sharc with friends less fortunate.
