A fine COMPLEXION

girls complexion is something
more than a matter to concern her
vanity. 1t is an indication of the
state of her health. Pallor in a grow
ing girl means a thinning of the blood
Eruptions mean impurities in the
blood. Parents should be watchful of
their daughters compilations, and
should see to it that these danger signs
are corrected not covered up.
When a girl in her teens becomes
pale and sallow, especially If, at the
same time, she shows an inclination to
tire easily, a listlessness and inatten-
ton to her work or studies, she needs
DR.. Williams Pink Pills, tonic which
directly and specifically corrects the
condition from which she is suffering.
chemical analysis of the blood of
such a girl would show 1t to be de-
ficient in just the elements that Dr.
Williams Pink Pills can supply but
the physical signs are plain. Every
girl should read the chapter on
''Chlorosis" in the free booklet, Build
ing UP the Blood" 1t tells Just what
to do and gives direction regarding
diet, exercise and rest.
The girl with a muddy complexion
should have the booklet "A Dainty
Laxative" which tells about Pinklets.

FIRE DESTROYS
BUILDINGS ON
POWNAL FARM
Little Girl Awakened by Smoke
ArOuses BrOther-Efforts
To Stop Fire Vain

Pownal, Me, July THE house and
barn on the Hodgdon Road. owned by
Clifton Fogg of Portland, were complete
ly destroyed by fire late Sunday evening.
The place was occupied by Mr.. Fogg's
brother Ernest Fogg and his wife, who
were away for the evening Their son.
Raymond, about II years old, and 10
year-old daughter. Alice, were alone In
the house at the time the fire broke out.
When Alice went to bed she left the
light burning. What happened Is not
known, but IT is assumed that the lamp
exploded and set fire to pile of clothing
nearby. for the little girl was awakened
by 'smothered feeling and found her
room full of smoke, and flames not far
away
Hurriedly she summoned her brother,
who was asleep in room down stairs,
but the boy found the fire was beyond
his control. although he bravely did
what he could. While the brother was
struggling with the fire the little girl
ran out of the house in her night clothes
and summoned neighbors, nearly an
eighth of a mile away.
All that could be done was to try to
save the furniture and nearly all of that
contained in the rooms below stairs was
saved.
Mr.. and Mrs. Fogg returned while the
buildings were burning. 1t is understood
that Mr.. Fogg had just purchased the
place OF his brother. and that the final
papers were to have been made Monday.
Insurance of $500 is estimated to be not
more than half Of the value of the build
ings.

STATE HOUSE CALENDAR
Regular Meeting of Governor and
Council Will Be Held at 10 A. NJ,
Wednesday, july 90.

A week ago the secretary of the state
Board of Health was notified by the
surgeon general of the Public Health
Service at Washington, that the health
authorities of Louisiana had reported
two cases of plague in New Orleans.
Monday telegram from the surgeon
generals office came to the office of our
State Board of Health saying that the
diagnosis of plague has been confirmed
by the Federal officers, and that the sur
geon general, who is in New Orleans,
will himself take charge of the work of
eradicating the disease in that city.
Surgeon General Blue is the man who
had charge of the work which was done
by the United States Public Health Ser
vice against plague In San Francisco.
He has with him four experienced off,
GERS of his service and II men as inspec-
tors who are experienced in thaet kind of
work. AS plague is, primarily a disease
of rodents, the work for the destruction
of rats and the examination of them to
determine how far the disease has al
ready spread among these animals is un-
der way.
It is altogether unknown whence the
infection came to New Orleans. We do
know, however. that the carriers and
distributors of the infection of the pest
are rats and the elias which are harbored
by the rats. In some of the South
America countries in which there were
outbreaks of plague few years ago,
the disease still exists among their ro-
dents. When this disease breaks out
among. human populations we may be
sure it has already been running some
time among the rats which infest the
community. A plague-infected rat may
have the disease in chronic form. If he
embarks as stowaway for foreign
country, every one bf the numerous
,feas which cover him, as athletic as
ever, is fully loaded inside and out with
the germ, the bacillus of plague. Aban-
doning their natural hosts and sampling
human blood as they sometimes do, these
fieas inoculate their human victims
And thus, almost invariably, plague is
transported from one country TO another
an infected rat with it's pest-charged
f1eas, travels by freight car or much
more frequently in the hold of a vessel
and landing without medical inspection,
as is the trick of this kind of immigrants,
infects the rats at his port of entry and
they in turn pass the disease on to man.

COLD ICE CREAM.
The More Fat In the Cream the Longer
the Cold Taste Lasts.

t0O Noto dStc Lasts a4c. .
An odd application of a very alb
stract principle of physics is to control
at will the cold taste of ice cream. II
an ice cream manufacturer wishes to
have his ice cream taste cold a long
time he can do so by making simple
changes I'm the cream mixture he
freezes, the actual temperature of the
frozen cream having little to do with
it. The scheme has been worked out
by chemists OF the Iowa State college.
The scientific principle is that of
specific heats. The specific heat of an
article is the intensity of heat needed
to raise its temperature a given num-
ber of degrees or. in effect. the rapid
1ty with which the article saps up
heat. Water is taken as the standard
and scientists know the specific heat
of most substances compared with wa
ter. These chemists carefully worked
out the specific heat of milk. cream
and various other dairy products, dis
covering that pure cream has a low
specific heat and that fatty substances
do not take mp heat so quickly and ef-
fectively as does water.
This explains why sherbets and 9TH
er ices taste so cold when they first
reach the mouth, but do not give the
cold taste long. They have a high
specific heat and quickly take up heat
from the mouth. then melt
With ice cream the more fat there is
In the formula the lower the specific
heat Accordingly a very fat cream
will not taste disagreeably cold at first.
but spoonful of ice cream in the
mouth will maintain its cold taste
longer. Thus the cold taste can be con-
trolled by the amount of fat used

HINDU EGG DANCE.
Curious and Difficult Feat Performed
by Girl Jusslers.

Curious and Difficult Feat Performed
by Girl Juselers.
OF the many wonderful feats per-
formed by Hindu jugglers one of the
most remarkable is the egg dance.
Usually II Is executed by a girl fan
tastically dressed. She makes use of a
willow wheel, around which at equal
distances are threads, and at the end
Of each thread there is moose held
open by bead.
This wheel the girl places on her
head. while she carries a basket of
eggs on her arm. When the music
strikes up she begins to dance, and the
wheel begins to spin around. She then
takes an egg from the basket. places
II In one Of the thread nooses and
throws 1t from her with sufficient force
10 draw the knot tight. The spinning
of the wheel keeps the thread stretched
with the egg at the end of it.
She then takes another egg from the
basket, places it In another moose and
repeats this until there is an egg In
every moose. Her fantastic costume,
her perfect motion and all the eggs
swinging on stretched threads at once
present curious sight.
II requires much art to execute the
dance. for one false step would cause
the eggs to be dashed together and the
dancer 10 be disgraced.
After dancing for some time with all
the eggs swinging round her head she
takes them out of the moose one by
one. all the time keeping the wheel bal.
anced and in motion, and again places
them In the basket on her arm.
After the performance the spectators
are allowed TO examine the eggs to see
that they are real.-London Ideas.

DIET AND DIGESTION.
Length of Time Different Foods Re-
main In the Stomach,

Length of Time Different Foods Re.
main In the Stomach.
Few people could make an accurate
guess as to the length of time different
toods remain in the stomach. The
popular ideas as to what are the most
digestible foods are all wrong, or near.
" so. In eating chicken. for instance.
one 1magines that he is sure of a rapid
ulgesuon. and yet chicken meat re-
mains In the stomach, under normal
conditions. for four hours. Duck.
which Is generally supposed to be
much more difficult to digest than
chicken. remains for only two hours.
A hard boiled egg lasts for four
honrs, which is much longer than the
average. whereas boiled fish remains
Tor only an hour and a half.
1t Is very common mistake to SUD-
pose that well boiled beef is very easily
dlgested, while as a matter of fact il
remains in the stomach for six hours
which is longer than any other CON-
mon article of food. Tripe, on the other
hand. remains for only one hour in
the stomach and is one of the easiest
of all foods to digest
A period of one and half hours is
required for apples, celery. cheese and
oysters. while twice this time is re-
quired by rye bread. onions, sausage or
raw milk.-Boston Herald.
