Gasolene Explosion I'm Evansville.

Windows were shattered, section of
the roof blown out, and crevice two
inches wide opened in the east wall of
John E. Reilly's residence by the terrific
explosion of gasoline stove at half past
nine o'clock Wednesday morning. Mrs.
Reilly, after placing some irons on the
stove, had fortunately gone across the
road to care for her invalid mother,
so there was no living person in the home
when. the terrible thing happened. The
defamation was heard block away and
splinters of glass were hurled distance
Of 40 feet. Only the prompt arrival on
the scene of Rev. T. w. North, neigh
Dor, and his expedient of smothering the
afterblaze with rug and applications
OF flour, saved the property from COM
plete destruction AS it was, the inter
Tor was badly damaged by smoke. The
loss at this time cannot be estimated.
just what caused the explosion is not
known.

A Dismal Failure.

A young jobbing firm in New York
overbought for the fall trade Their
heaviest mistake had been in line of
overcoats, which, it looked, they would
have to carry over a season. Efforts to
get cash for the stock were fruitless
except at ruinous rates. At last the
firm went to an old timer in the trade
for advice.
"Well," said the man of experience,
you've got a pretty good list Of GUS
toners. Just divide the coats up into
lots of thirteen each. Send a batch
apiece to some Of your sharpest Gus
toners, but make out the bills for
twelve They'll be so tickled to get
one coat for nothing that they'll take
'em ALL
The scheme had been tried before
the men met again. The old timer
waited for his praise.
"Well, didn't they keep the coats?'
he asked
Yes returned the jobber sadly.

slight colds are apt to be fashionable, and sometimes they last until late in the winter, often with serious results. Prevention is always better than a cure. For that reason severa l reme- dies which we ecan recommend had bet ter be kept at hand to be taken when the first symptoms appear.

then he would have to drink fifty times 730 gallons of beer in that time to get as much nutrition from it as he did from his meat which would be about three bar rels a day Then why is it that beer is so often prescribed for sick and weak people?
 Does it stimulate digestion? The amount of alcohol in lager beer is enough to interfere ma terially with digestion. This produces a craving for a larger amount of beer, which only in creases the trouble without the victim being conscious of the cause. In regard to the claim that there is not enough alcohol in lager beer to iniure ones health, Dr. William B. Carpen- ter, one of the greatest Physioli- gists of the day, says: T have shown, by actual analysis that lager beer contains from five to eight percent of alcohol. Let no beer drinker be deceived. Under the most favorable cir cumstanceS, from every twenty glasses of the weaker beer he gets one glass of pure alcohol; and one glass of pure alcohol a day will do terrible mischief to the physical and mental man. Those who use the strongest beer get one glass of alcohol from every thirteen glasses. "
 Not long since one of the wealthiest wholesale liquor deal CTS in eastern Indiana arranged with a prominent life insurance company to take out a policy for S230, ,000, partly for the beneht of an institution he wished to on. dow at his death. The papers were made out, but on going to be examined, he was unable to pass, the examining surgeon an nouncing that he had heart dis. ease. Frightened as well as in dignant he went to the board of examiners in New York which announced to him that he had or ganic disease of the heart. The only cause he could give that could bring about such a result was the fact that he drank large ly ot beer every day. The board said the beer was the real cause of the trouble.
 Actual facts, proved by the light of science, show that beer IS not a food. It saps at the

Is Beer Food?

It has been calculated that if a man drinks 73S gallons of beer in year he will get as much nutriment as he would get from a five pound loaf of bread or from three pounds of meat. If a man ate an ordinary amount of meat, say 150 pounds year.
