Who Are "They."

We all have way of saying they
say" this or that of some person, or
some thing and accepting it ourselves
as authentic when someone says they
say" 20 us.
But If we stopped to inquire into the
exact source Of the information. either
we would be unable to trace it back
to anyone other than that elusive in
dividual. They Say" or we will find
back Of it the unkind gossip of some
enemy
Ana just because they say" fails
to put the blame of a falsehood on any
one persons shoulders it really is the
most dangerous OF statements and one
Of the hardest TO .refute.
So let US beware Of believing they
say stories Let US treat lightly all
gossip introduced by the words they
say" Or if this gossip makes US sus-
pfcious Of its object-anG it is natural
and human that it should at times
let US suspend judgment until we
KNOW In other words, let US do the
object of they say the justice to
investigate until we find someone wnc
Is in a position from actual xnowl-
edge and whom we can trust, to make
a positive statement over his own
name as TO the truth or falsity of the
they say" story.
The writer has been led to pen this
little lesson in practical fairness by
reading q little book issued by the
Coca-Cola Company, Of Atlanta, Ga,
entitled s'Tne Truth About Coca
Cola" That truly delicious and whole
some beverage has for so long been the
subject Of they say" stories in which
all manner of untrue and detrimental
things about Coca-COla have been cir
cuIated that the manufacturers have
been forced TO issue their book giving
authentic information about this bev-
eraee. And the information therein
contained does not rest its case on any
they say" statements. but bases its ar
cuments on analyses and statements OF
chemists and scientists occupying the
highest positions in America.
This is a most interesting books
zine study in dignity in refutiEg false
hoods--and book Of information that
all should read You will find il well
worth your while to write and ask the
Coca-Cola Company, Atlanta. Ca, to
send you a free copy

noon, Jan. 5, at the residence OF their

son and large family of sisters, she yet
found time to listen to any cry OF need
in the neighborhoOd. She had kind
word for every one, and her first
thoughts were always for others. Being
great reader and having large fund OF
information, her conversation was spark

This nutritious matter is passed along

IF your stomach is upset it does not

Large Fire Damage at Norway.
THREE STORES BURNED OUT, WITH LOSS
OF SIS, 600 OR MORE.

A fire which started In the basement
of Opera House Block at Norway Sstur
day morning caused practically tota
loss of stock in three of the stores il
the building, and damaged the building
itself. by hard work the damage wa,
confined almost entirely to those three
stores.
The building, which is the largest and
costliest in the town, Is a brick block
containing on the ground floor the rooms
OF the Norway National Bank, the cloth.
ing store of II. B. Foster, the jewelry
store Of V. w. Hills, the millinery store
"f Mrs. X. l.. Powers, the shoe store OF
the K. n. SWEET Co, the armory of Co,
D, Second Regiment, N. G.. S. NJ, and
the selectmen's Office, and above the
opera house.
Ii was about I A. NJ when the fire
was discovered Ii was then in the base
ment of Hills store, and the only cause
that can be assigned for it is crossed
wires. There is no fire in the building
it being heated by steam from the Cum
mings plant, and lighted by electricity.
X o. Porter, who is employed in
Fosters store, had been in and opened
the store and done his morning work,
and had been in the basement of the
store, without noticing anything wrong.
When Lee NJ. Smith came into the store
about 7, he discovered smoke pouring
into the rear of the room in volumes,
and the fire, which had apparently been
Roadway from that time.
An alarm was Immediately rung in,
and the fire department was quickly at
work. Two streams were first put into
the easements of the Hills and Foster
stores from the rear. Soon after it was
found that the fire was getting into the
stores on the ground floor, and streams
were put into the three stores from the
front. After about an hours work the
fire was under control.
The stock in the clothing store of Fl.
b. Foster, the jewelry store of V. w.
Hills, and the millinery store of Mrs.
Powers, is nearly or quite total loss,
large part of the damage being by water.
Goods in the basement of the Z. n.
SWEET shoe store were little damaged
By water. Other parts of the building
were filled with smoke, but the actual
fire was confined to the three stores,
which are in the middle of the building.
With the damage to the building, the
total loss is doubtless $4,000 or more.
All the parties carried insurance.
At the height of the fire, when num-
Der of streams of water were being used,
a telephone call was sent for the aid of
the pressure on the South Paris water
system, and Superintendent Bowker of
the South Paris system opened the gate
at the fair grounds between the systems
Of the two townsville first time it has
been opened since the South Paris sys-
tenn was put in use a year ago. This
improved the pressure at the fire quite
a little. Later, when the fire was under
the gate was shut again.
