FIRE DESTROYS WHOLE
BLOCK IN SANDUSKi

SANDUSKY, O.--Fire started from
an unknown cause in the Washer liv-
cry barn in the rear of Market street,
near Wayne, spread to adjoining busl-
ness blocks, and for time threatened
the entire downtown section. The
livery barn was consumed so quickly
that it was with great difficulty that
the horses were gotten out.
\ strong southeast wind drove the
flames TO the ourstory Schmidt block
on the corner of Wayne and Market
streets. and this building was com
pletely ruined, the local fire companies
being unable to check the wind driven
blaze. When it was seen that the
Schmidt block was doomed the fire
men turned their attention to nearby
structures which had been set atire by
flying sparks and word was sent to
Toledo and Elyria summoning help.

COFFEE

The best coffee is made by the
French drip system. Two bags made
from fine canvas are necessary. They
must be kept Scrupulously clean and
dried in the sun. Use them on al
ternating days. The bags are cone
shaped suspended in the pot from a
wire ring. SO the lip does not touch
the coffee. Have the coffee pulver-
lied. Use one level tablespoonful of
coffee for each cup. Heat the pot
and use freshly boiled soft water.
Put the coffee into the bag which is
suspended in the pot and slowly pour
the boiling water into the bag. Cover
tightly and allow the water to run
through the coffee just once. The
next best way is to use II percolator
with boiling water.

COTTON DECLINES
ON WAR OUTLOOK
Reports That Peace Is Far OFF
Cause Drop in Late
Trading.

The action Of yesterdays cotton market
was disappointing TO the bull element It's
extreme response TO further rain news and
an abundance Of unfavorable crop advices
was an advance of about ll@lS points over
the close Of Saturday. Practically all Of this
upturn came within the first hour and was
attended by moderate support from Liver
pool houses. scattered local covering and oc-
casional orders from traders.
There was no general demand at any time
during the day, and 1t was considered sig
nifcant that the Carolinas sent in selling
orders. The heaviest selling OF the day,
however. occurred near the close, when senti-
ment was influenced by reports of prominent
people returning from Europe TO the effect
that there seemed 20 be no immediate pros
pect for peace and that the end Of the war
was still long way of.
This selling dominated the market and de-
stroyed most of the early advance. final

News regarding the tropical storm did not
shake confidence on the bear side Of the
market, inasmuch as the low area appeared
20 have remained almost stationary over the
island Of Santo Domingo and TO have
diminished somewhat in force. although its
outer edge has moved westward TO Cuba
and northward almost to Florida. There
seemed to be feeling however, that It had
lost its influence as market factor of inn
portance.
Scattered showers the Eastern belt
and the predictions for additional showers
on Tuesday failed to create any apprehen-
sion among traders. as the idea Is pretty
well established that the flood area has been
restricted and that elsewhere the crop has
suffered little. II any. loss. and that unless
the rains are followed by a period OF eX-
cessive heat IL will be found that the crop
has actually been benefited by the rains and
not injured According to the Weather
