Tobacco Destroyed by Fire.

Salters, R F D l, July 22::-Fire
was discovered last night in the to-
baceo barn of Mr. G Walter Scott,
about 1880 o'clock. One stick of
tobacco had fallen on the fiues and
burned to ashes when the other was
found burning to the top of the
barn. Fortunately the barn had not
caught, and after a few minutes
steady effort Mr. Scott, assisted by
Mr. Ed Williamson, succeeded in saw
ing his barn and about half the to-
bacco. 1t seems that Mr. Scott has
been very unfortunate lately. Sun
day afternoon, the 9th inst, he and
his family were driving home when
the horses took fright at an approach
ing automobileand ran away, thereby
throwing him out of the carriage,
which was almost splintered, but no
one was fatally injured. The follow
ing Thursday and Friday the storm
came and seriously damaged all his
crops. and now nearly all the tobacco
he thought he had saved is burned.
He is depressed, of course, but we are
sure he has the sympathy of q host
of friends. A NEIGHBoR.

to use DR. Bells ne-Tar-Honey.

open the clogged air passages and in

Of course it should! For after q

have been exercised to the limit, an
application of Sloan's Liniment will
take the soreness and stiffness away
and get you in fine shape for the
morrow. You should also use it for
a sudden attack of toothache, stiff
neck, backache, stings, bites and the
many accidents that are incidental
to vacation. I'VE would as soon
leave our baggage as go on a vaca-
ton or camp without Sloan's ini-
ment." Writes one vacation: We
use it for everything from crampsto
toothache." Put a bottle in your
bag, be prepared and have no re-
grets.

Tests for Jars for Canning.

The following tests are suggested
by the Office of Extension Work,
North and West, States Relation Ser
vice. to determine if jars are defec-
tive for canning purposes:
Screw-top Jars.-(D Place top on
jar without the rubber. Turn down
tight. If the thumb nail can be in
serted between top and glass, the
top is usually defective. (2) Place
rubber and cap in position and screw
down lightly. Pull rubber from po-
sition; release. If the rubber re-
turns to position between top and
jar. the top is defective. -,
Glass.top Jars.-(1) Place glass
top on jar without rubber. Tap
with finger around the outer.edge
of the top. If the top rocks it is de-
fective. (2) Wire bail placed over
the top of cover should 60 in with =
snap. even when Tightening lever or
clamp spring is up. If it does not.
remove bail from Tightening lever
and bend to make tight. This tight
ening of bail should be done every
year.
