When the hot water apparatus in j.
NJ. Carson's kitchen stove exploded
early Monday morning of last week it
brought the fire department to his res
idence, opposite the Wilson Lumber
company's yards, in record-breaking
time.
A section of the stove knocked d
hole in the wall of the building, anoth-
or piece struck Mr.. Carson, i~nfiicting
slight injuries, and the force of the ex-
p,osion blew out an entire window in
the kitchen. The fire department
flooded the room with zero water, thu
damage from IRE being practically
nothing.

not many months are passed without

Hence, it is important for you and for
all the members of your family that

Remedies for Poverty.

The treatment of poverty is
absorbing the attention of the
National Probation League, and
it ventures to say that two rem
edies have been discovered.
which, without giving the league
away, are as old as time-i.e.
Removal of the cause and the
other to alleviate by the sweet
ening of the results. This is
called by the league the great
modern idea, and it took a great
deal of modern energy and
thought to figure it out. Idle
ness begets poverty as well as
ungodliness. but man may have
a good job and still be in the
grasp of poverty. Inability to
manage, extravaganza and evil
habits cause greater poverty,
hardship and worry than any
thing else in the world. If the
league can remove the causes of
these it will have accomplished
the m aculous. Portsmouth

LOWER HOUSE PASSES MEASURE
WITH AMENDMENTS AFTER
AN ALL.DAY DEBATE.
U. S. TO ACT AS RE-INSURER
Bureau Of War insurance, 10 Be
Created, viii Be Conducted by
Director Under Supervision
Of Secretary Of Treasury.

washington. ID. C.-After q day
OF bitter debate, the house. by a vote
OF 23O TO 5S. passed the administrs'
ton bill providing that the federal
government shall assume all risks
that may come TO American com
merce on the high seas, as result
of the war among the nations OF
Europe.
The discussion was notable by rea'
son Of the fact that nearly oil the
speakers proclaimed their fealty to
peace while denounclng one another
in unmeasured terms. The lie was
passed by Representative Underwood,
the Democratic leader, and Represen'
tative Mann, the Republican leader,
and these oldtime friends abused one
another in language that aroused
members to a high pitch of excite
ment.
The bill was put through the senate
last week. Some amendments we're
adopted in the house and the bill
was sent back to the senate.
Under the act there win be created
in the treasury department a bureau
OF war risk insurance. The bureau
will be conducted by director under
the supervision of the secretary OF
the treasury. The bill creates an
advisory board. to be composed OF
three insurance experts, who are to
assist in the conduct of the bureau.
For the purpose of paying losses
there is an appropriation OF S..
600 900.
1t was stated in the-house that the
government will reinsure instead of
issuing policies in the first instance,
In other words, the marine companies
will issue policies, and then assure
themselves against loss by insuring
with the government
Republicans repeated the charges
that the proposed law would endanger
the neutrality position of the United
States. This was heatedly denied by
Representative Underwood and other
Democratic leaders, who declared
that there was nothing in the measure
that would In any way Interfere with
the peaceful relations OF this govern
ment with the European nations.
