TERRIBLY ScALDED
WITH HOT COFFEE.

New Leipsig, n. D.. Aug. "a
The little daughter of Jacob Wolf
was terribly scalded by the over
turning OF coffee pot. The little
girl, who is only about a. year old,
was sitting on the floor of the
kitchen when a pot filled with boil
ing coffee on the edge of the stove
was overturned and the entire con-
tents were spilled on the child. She
was horribly scalded from the hips
to the feet. DIR. Murphy has been
treating her with the help Of Mrs.
Murphy, who Is a trained nurse,
and the little sufferer is getting
on remarkably well. One foot had
a shoe on at the time and that
was the most severely scalded and
will take longest TO heal. The
wonder is that the child ever sur
vfved the ordeal.
