COOK HOUSE IN ANN ARBOR
IS RAZED BY $4,000 FIRE
Flames Early Sunday Morning Prae
tcaIiy Destroyed II Occupants
Rescued From Balcony.

ANN ARBOR, Mich, Dec. 26,-The
Cook house was almost totally de
stroyed by fire yesterday morning. Snv-
eral employees sleeping on the fourth
floor narrowly escaped with their
lives, clad in night gowns. That there
we're no fatalities may be due to the
fact that it was Christmas morning
and the travelling public was spending
the holiday at home. AS it was, the
FIVE house guests had no difficulty in
getting out, though not all of them
obtained their belongings.
l.. +. Burke. the proprietor Of the
hotel, came here from Lansing and
took the hotel after ii had gone into
the hands OF the receiver last June.
Saturday night he was relieving the
night clerk, and about 4 O'Clock he
went into the dining room for a
lunch. He smelled smoke and at once
started for the basement. where the
odor seemed to come from. There he
found the cellar filed with smoke
and was driven back. After turning
in an alarm he rushed to the fourth
floor and awakened the hotel EN-
ployes. who were asleep there, while
another aroused the house guests.
Many of the girls were taken off a
balcony by the firemen. as was also
the wife OF the proprietor, and they
suffered greatly from the cold before
they could be gotten to a neighboring
hotel. The personal effects of the
maids were entirely destroyed. as was
everything I'm the rear of the building.
The front OF the house suffered less,
and the greater damage there is due
to water and smoke.
The roughly estimated damage to
the building is $4,000. while the loss
to Mr. Burke on the contents. It is
thought, will amount to about $4,000.
Margaret Nowlin, of Detroit, owns
the building, and. It is said, was fair
ly well insured while the loss 10 Mr..
Burke will be almost total, as hi in
surance was not heavy.
Since Mr.. Burke came here last
JLne he las been refurnishing the
rooms. and much OF the furniture
and all the bedding and linen were
new. Whether the house will he re-
built is question.
Shortly after the Cook house fire
was discovered. another fire broke
out in the north side In two-story
double house. Neither OF the two
companies could be spared from the
first fire. as 1t looked for time as
though the neighboring blocks might
not be saved. and so the dwelling
house burned to the ground, two fam.

GIVES CHRISTMAS ADDRESS.
Rev. ]. 3. Clark Conducts Y. M. c. A
Service-Tribute t. G. Jay Vinton.


In the course OF Christmas address
in the Y. NJ. C. A. auditorium, Sunday
afternoon, the Rev. John Britain Clark
said:
During all the centuries kings and
emperors have trailed their robes,
all afame with jewels across the his
tory of the world. But today the whole
world follows in tie train of three
kings who trailed their splendor across
the bare floor of poor eastern stable.
Why?
Because on that distant day there
was born a three-fold new idea or
God for man. Man had thought God
angry with men. Man had been taught
that God held in his hand thunderbolts
to launch at humanity In sin against
! Him. So Rome taught; so Greece
taught: so the priests in Jerusalem
taught and so all men believed. But
in that birth OF Christ was revealed
the new truth that God loved men
with great love. that God hated with
awful anger the sin that dragged men
down but loved the sinner. Men failed
to make n distinction between the sin
ner and his sin; but Christ came TO
show that God made that distinction
men failed to make. For the first time
that great and divine truth was given
the world in the child born at Bethle-
hem-God loved and was not angry
with men"

A few days ago she began limping

foot and noticed a red spot at the back
of the ankle.
She decided 10 try a home remedy

with fat meat. Then a black pin two
inches long and without a head came
from the foot. The child stepped on

PROF. r. l.. SHIELDS SUCCEEDS
PROF. ARCHIBALD SMITH.

1t is announced that Prof. R. l..
Shields, graduate of the Ohio State
University in 1907, and since then
employed by that University in agri-
cultural extension work, has been
elected as Associate Professor of
Animal Husbandry in the Mississippi
A. IL M. College, and will have gen.
eral charge of the instruction per-
tanning to live stock matters.
Professor Shields is really the sue
cessor to Prof Archibald Smith. as
Professor of Animal Husbandry. The
election of Prof. Hutchinson as Pro-
lessor of Animal Husbandry at the
time of Professor Smiths removal, in
order to give the Governor control of
the Live Stock Sanitary Board, was,
as we pointed out at that time, mere
ly political trick, but he remains
the nominal Professor of Animal
Husbandry for the same reasons
which dictated his original selection,
although Professor Shields will have
to do all the animal husbandry work
connected with the position.
With the coming of the boil weevil
into Mississippi the raising of live
stock must become each year a more
important part of our farming. and
we bespeak for Professor Shields a
success equal to the tremendous i'm
portance of the work before him.

FALL CARE OF THE CALVES.

With the approach of fall, every
year, numerous complaints come to
us of calves that are not doing well.
They cease to grow, get thin and
finally take scours and many Of them
die. Those that do not die go into
the winter in bad condition and
with the hard usage and scanty feed
common in winter, fail to make salts
factory growth. A little attention be-
fore they get in bad condition, would
be profitable. AS the grasses. es-
pecially Bermuda, get dry they are
less digestible. They should be given
little extra care and feed at this
time.
There are two or more species of
small worms that infest the stomach
or lodge in the coats of the intes-
tines that are responsible for some
of these troubles. Good feed and
care will largely enable the calves
to withstand the troubles coming at
this season of the year.
If scours occur, take the calves IN
and feed lightly on cowpea hay and
just little grain of some sort. and
give a dose of turpentine and oil
every second day until about three
doses have been given. For a calf
six months old to teaspoonfuls of
turpentine in quarter to a hilf-pint
OF raw linseed oil will be about the
right dose. AS tonic give about 10
grains each Of dry sulphate of iron
ana powdered nux vomica twice
day for ten days or two weeks.
