FIRE CAUSED BY
LIGHTNING BOLT
Augustana Book Concern Dam.
aged to the Extent Of $4,000
This Morning.
COMPOSING ROOM BURNED
Linotype Machines Are Put Out Of
commission-NesseIer Property
Also Suffers.

Damage to the probable extent of
$4,000 or more was done TO the build
ing of the Augustana book concern,
639 Thirty-eighth street this morning
shortly before O'Clock, when light
ming struck the place. The blaze was
confined to the third floor, where two
linotype machines were put out of
commission and the walls and contents
Of the room burned.
It is believed that a bolt of light
ming hit the building and was carried
to the linotype machines, spreading
from there to other parts of the COM
posing room. The fire department
made a quick run to the place and
confined the confagration to the one
floor. The work of the book concern
is crippled today and will be unable to
proceed until the damaged equipment
can be refitted.
ANOTHER FIRE.
The Nesseler property at 212 Third
avenue, occupied by John Payne,
caught fire last evening at 1870 and
was damaged to the extent of $1,000.
No one was at home at the time and
there is a suspicion that the blaze was
of incendiary origin. The walls and
furnishings were badly damaged.

Dietary FootnoteS.

The Institute of Hygiene in London, has hit upon
large army Of fellow beings still suffering from the
effects of Thanksgiving. The members of this in
tereStng English society. to judge from the list of
dishes on the menu of their decenna dinner have
appetites which are human in every sense and they
believe in satisfying them But they also have Il
knowledge of carbohydrates and proteinS, Of sail
vary glands and gastric juices. which the ordinary
mortal despairs of attaining the result being that
they may wade with impunity into slaughter cf
viandS that would lay the rest of us low.
The innovation. undoubtedly adopted for the ben
eft of their guests rather than themselves. consists
of a series of footnoteS their menu describing
the food values Of each dish As dish is included
whose food values are minus quantity. the tone Of
these footnotes is distinctly optimistic and has the
effect Of stimulating the process Of digestion before
the food reaches the stage of masticaton. TO know
the stimulating effect of the horS-dGuvre the lii
geStibility of the fish, and to hear the sweets and
the coffee euloGizcd for their nutritivc and mcdici
nal qualities inspires with proper confidence
in his alimentary processes.
We would fcrvcntly suggest that when another
Thanksgiving comes along everything good that can
be said Of cranberry sauce and English plum pud-
ding aud mnce pie be put in writing the family
menu, that may refer to il later in triumph Dr
in palliatiun IS the case may be.

Punishment for Drunken
Chauffeurs.
Adequate

The plaint Of the Secretary OF State that the
courts are entirely too easy with automobile speed
Crs and drunken chauffcurS is now echoed 10y Colo
mel Cornell secretary of the National Highways
Protective Society. He agrees with Secretary May
that neither fine nor Imprisonment has half the
terrors for these offenders that the certainty OF
having their licenses revoked would hold. And it
Is on that point that the New York State law is
weakest-weakest as Il statute and weakest in On
tOrcement
Recent Investigations have shown that the
drunken driver is being sent to Jail in fair pro
portion of cases all over the state. Where the
Jail penalty is not given the fines are heavy But it
seems almost impossible to get any Judge or
magistrate 10 begin proceedings Ia have reckless
drivers license cancelled. And unless the judge
who sentences the offender makes such Il RECON-
mendation the license may not he cancelled The
net result is that at the END Of Jail sentence
the chauffeur * out Oh the roads again with his
ear, likely again to yield to whatever temptations
landed him in JAIL and the public has no protection
from him.
1t is right that drunkard who runs amuck with
high power automobile should have his iail term.
He ought to be punished for mpcrilng the lives Of
others just much as a man who runs amuck
with shotgun in a throng But preventive measures
also should be taken, and it should he made i'm
possible. il easily can be, for that individual
ever to have the power to endanger human lives
again in that way. The present law has proved a
failure in that respect In Massachusetts the licens-
ing authorities also have the power to revoke the
licenses for cause and the system seems TO work
well. 1t might be tried here with profit
