THE FURNITURE
FACTORY FIRE
Fire Departments Do Some
Good Work and Save One of
Grand Rapids Foremost In
dustries From Destruction.

About eight o'clock Monday even
ing a fire alarm was given announc-
ing a fire in the 9Th ward. 1t was
followed by the information that
the Oberbeck Furniture Factory was
on fire This fact immediatelt
aroused the entire community and
thousands of people flocked to the
fire. On arrival there it could read
lily be seen that the fire originated
in the garrett or extreme peak of the
roof. The heaviest portion of the
fire appeared to be on the easter
ly end. Both the East and West
side fire companies responded
promptly and did excellent execu-
ton in extinguishing the flame. AS
soon as it was known that the Ober-
beck Furniture plant was on fire.
everybody appeared to realize what
the destruction of this plant would
mean to the business interests OF
Grand Rapids, and the firemen sur
mounted every obstacle that stood
in their way for reducing the flames
In less than one hour from the
time the fire was discovered all
the flames were extinguished
The origin of the fire is not
positively known, but it is sup
posed that it originated from self
combustion, as there is nothing that
would lead anyone to believe that
it could be incendiary. The damage
to the building by fire is not so
great as the damage to furniture all
ready finished, and more that was
only partially finished. The loss will
run into thousands of dollars before
the company can be replaced to
where they were before the fire took
place. Everybody is delighted to
know that the property was saved
without any more damage than what
was done.

WORRY A HABIT

Worrying is simply a habit. II
is also a very foolish habit. 1t can
not be cured by good resolutions nor
by talking about it. The best cure
is to keep busy. AS Satan al
ways finds some work for idle hands
to do" so the idle mind will always
find plenty of time to worry over
the cares and perplexities of life
The health side of this hint is, that
worry impairs digestion, destroys
mental poise, and ruins good temper
And no one can be physically healthy
and happy who cultivates the habit
of worrying.

once seen that here was an oppor-
tunity for comparison with the flour
being milled at the present time. A
test showed that the flour had
kept well during the long period of
IA years, and had only deteriorated
slightly in a minor function. Com
pared with the new flour, it was
found to be coarser and not as
white as the GOLD MEDAL flour
now being milled by this company
The finding of the old cartoon has
set at rest all arguments as to the
comparative quality of the flour now
being milled in Minneapolis and that
of decade and a half ago.

Modern Flour Exceeds That OF
Years AGO.

There has been an open discus
sion Of late among millers, which is
particularly interesting in cities
where flour milling is one Of the
chief industries, whether the flour as
milled now is as fine a quality as
it was many years ago, when patent
flour was first milled in Minneapolis.
Most of the millers insist that modern
flour is superior to any that was
ever mi1led, while others, especial
" the old-timers, claim that wheat
flour as manufactured by the Wash
burn-Crosby Co. years ago was so
good as to make Improvement dill
ficult matter.
The Washburn- Crosby Co. has de-
cided the question emphatically, and
all through chance, and the modern
flour comes out a winner by several
shades of whiteness. 1t is explained
by those who are familiar with the
history of the company that IA years
ago a scheme was thought out for
packing flour in cartoons for domes-
tic use.
The idea was thought to be so
good that a large number Of four
pound cartoons were ordered manufae
tured and the Washburn-Crosbyf flour
put I'D in that shape. But it was
too great a departure from custom
and the cartoon idea at that time
was not thought to be practical.
So the new scheme was Abandoned.
The other day one of those four
pound cartoons, packed IA years ago,
was brought to light, and it was at
