TWO DISASTROUS FIRES
5eckIey and Vicinity Has TWO Con-
flaerations in One Day and
Losses Are Heavy.

Beckley, w. Va.-This city and vi
cinity were visited by two severe and
destructive fires. The origin of neith-
er has as yet been ascertained, but it
seems that both were started by pure
iy accidental means
The first one entirely destroyed the
Hull hotel at Beckley, building of
three stories, and practically all of the
furnishings of the building were an
entire loss,
The second was at Glen Morgan,
near Beckley, and began in the store
house of H. L. Lilly. This building and
contents We're entirely consumed and
the flames soon spread to the adjoin-
ing dwellings of c.. L. White and of
Newton and John Pittman, destroying
both of them, as we'll as most of the
household effects. The store building
was owned by Newton and John Pitt
man and was. insured for a total of
$4,000, while the loss on the building
alone is about $500. The stock of
goods carried an insurance of $1,000.
The dwelling of C. L. White was in
sured for $500 and was a total loss
The house belonging to the Pittman
brothers was insured for $500.

German Scientists Advise the Eating
Of Egg Shells BY Those Who Ap-
preach Old Age.

+ Two Germans. deep thinkers Pro
fessors Emmerich and Loewe-state
that egg shells eaten increase the
power Of resistance against the with
ering blight Of time" add weight to
the body. activity to the brain and
strength to the heart; that they de-
stroy injurious bacilli, prevent infiam-
nation and disease and lend courage
and energy This reminds me, Phil
ip Hale writes in the Boston Herald.
OF the preparation advertised in Lon
don thirty or more years ago as re-
moving superhuous hair, being an ex-
cellent substitute for table butter,
none genuine unless stamped on the
blade. Eustace Miles, the English
court tennis player and vegetarian,
says he had an. old nurse who used
to eat egg shells and crunch them Joy
fully between the teeth that happened
to meet, and she said she ate the
shells because they shaved the hair
on insideeof the throat" The discov.
cry of the German scientist Is peculi-
arly welcome to dwellers by the
ocean, for 1t is a well known fact that
II you do not break egg shells the
witches will put out to sea in them to
wreck vessels, and If you burn the
shells the hens win cease to lay.
Furthermore, as eggs are now absurd
ly high-eyen case eggs-in the neigh
borhood 1t seems a pity to waste any
part of them.

SUITS INTEREST ALL sHERlFFs

Martinsburg, w. VA suit that
will affect the sheriffs in West Vir-
ginia was filed in the circuit court
here, when State Tax Commissioner
Fred o. Blue instituted proceedings to
set aside the recent settlements of for
mer Sheriff Gardner and Sheriff Kit
tering with the county court, when
both officials were relieved from the
payment of certain interest charges.
1t is alleged that Gardner still owes
$1,000 and Kittering $1,700 interest
and discrepancies in taxi commissions
Gardner and Kittering contend that
these sums represent interest on mon
ey borrowed by them to meet the cur
rent expenses of the county when the
county was bankrupt and the sheriffs
kept its credit good by borrowing mon
ey upon their own responsibility.
1t is declared by the defendants that
many counties would become bank
rupt because their executives would
not dare use their personal credit to
borrow money for current expenses
before taxes are collected.
The suit against the Berkeley scouu-
ty officials will be heard December 2.

That the value Of feeds for cattle

amounts Of digestible food which they
contain and that certain physiological
effects Of different feeds which hither-

importance have vital effect upon the
health Of cattle has been proved by

versity Of Wisconsin in a series OF ex.
periinents covering four years.

Care of Chilled Lambs.

Some farmers are of the opinion
that badly chilled lambs will die any
how and that there is no use to bother
with them. writes G. +. Williams in
the National StOckman. This is Il mis-
take, for we have frequently found
such lambs in dying condition and
yet saved them. Such lambs should
be given plenty of heat at once. We
place them in a basket (covered) over
hot air register or an oil heater or
even supported by two sticks of wood
on top of The range. AS soon as re-
vived sufficiently to nurse such lambs
should be taken TO the eve and given
some OF her milk. 1t is generally best
to return them to. the artificial heat
until time for the second nursing in
an hour or two. Avoid giving such
lambs cows milk. Get them warmed.
