FARM HOME DESTROYED
Dwelling Occupied by Howard Floto,
Near State Center, Burns.

Fire, at about o'clock Sunday morn
ing, completely destroyed the farm
home owned by Daniel Zwilling, Of Chi
cago, six miles southwest Of State Cen
ter. The farm is occupied by Howard
Floto. The house and all OF its con-
tents were a total loss.
Mr.. Floto left the latter part OF the
week by automobile for Rochester,
Mimi, to bring home Mrs. Floto, who
has been at Rochester for a surgical
operation. The place was left in charge
of Eugene Connolly, who Is employed
by Floto. Sunday morning Connolly
started a fire in the kitchen stove to
prepare breakfast, and went to the
barn to do his chores. Not long after
wards he happened to look toward the
house and saw it in flames. Whether
the blaze started in the kitchen or the
roof, is not known The State Center
fire truck was called and responded,
but the house was gone before the
truck could reach the scene.
Mr.. Zwillings loss on the house will
be from $4,000 to $4,000. He carried
81 900 insurance. Mr.. F1oto's loss Will
be about $1,000. 1t Is not known
whether or not he carried insurance.
Two automobiles bearing people of
the neighborhood on their way to the
fire, met with a mishap when the
driver of each car attempted 10 prevent
a collision at the foot of the Eastman
hill The collision was avoided. but
both cars went into the ditch, and one
was damaged The occupants escaped
injury

F. L. Hutson, Clyde Linn. irwin Reim-
enschneider, and Jack" Mellow occu-
pied the Hutson car. driving from the
north. In the other car coming from the
south were Albert Pfantz, Mrs. James
Higgins. and Miss Eileen Downing
When it was seen that the two cars
might come together both drivers turn
ed. Pfantz went off the grade to the
west, but a fence and trees caught the
top and prevented the car from over
turning The top. windshield, and fen
ders were broken. Hutson went off the
east side Of the road, but fortunately
backed down fifteen foot embank-
ment, without damaging the car at all
and not hurting any one.

cate It. One man showed visible signs
Of being 'sore" when he Yas accepted.
But practically all were hight heartcd.
and laughed and joked with the doc
tors who examined them.
Process Of Examination.
The men were ushered into the grand
Jury room, where Clerk Of Courts q.
w. Gilbert was acting as clerk for the
examiners. He took their names on the
examination blanks, the blanks, by the
way, being the same as those used at
the regular army recruiting station.
With the examination slip in his hand
each man was passed to DR.. Edwin
Cobb, who was appointed to the exam
ming board late Saturday, and who
tested eyes and ears and examined
threats Still carrying the examination
blanks the men passed into the east
court room, where DR.. w. 8. Devine
took their height, weight and chest ex-
pansion, and Drs. M. U. Chesire and
r. r. Hansen examined them generally
for deformities, fiat feet, heart. lungs,
and general physical impairments.
During the process of this examination
the men were trotted across the room,
were made to jump. and the floor be-
ing dusty the soles of the feet soon
showed whether the man had broken
arch or not Two examining tables
were provided on which men were laid
if a more careful examination OF the
heart was desired.
Broken arches were the commonest
of the causes for reflections. Another
quite common one was directive hear
ing, with hernia and defective eyesight
following. There were single cases OF
reflections for variety Of other causes.
Examinations Pass Rapidly.
The examinations, while superficial
to a large extent, are intended primar-
lily to expose the glazing defects which
would at once cause the men to be re-
jected. The examination is much more
thorough, however. than that given at
the army recruiting station here. Each
man will be re- examined by army sur
geons before being accepted in the ma
tional army.
DR.. Devine was we'll pleased with the
progress made this forenoon, when ex-
aminations ceased at II o'clock because
practically all those summoned to ap-
pear at and 1880 had been examined.
He expected the ISL called for today
would be all examined before the board
finished this afternoon.
During the period of the examina-
tons the headquarters of the local
board has been moved into the hall
way on the second floor Of the court
house, where Clyde Morse is in charge
to furnish information regarding filing
claims and exemptions and to furnish
blanks for that purpose.

laxative" and in a few hours all the
foul, constipated waste, sour bile and
undigested food passes out of the bow
els, and you have well, playful child
again. When it's little system is full
of cold, throat sore, has stomach-ache

DODGING DISEASE OF PLANTS
to Japan Regarded as an Ex-
traordinary Achievement.

The novel feat of shipping the pollen
of citrus fruits from Washington to
Japan for use in hybridizing expert
ments has been recently achieved by
the United States bureau of plant in
dustry. Although pollen had previous
ly been shipped in cold storage from
Florida to California, new methods
were necessary for the longer journey,
and several plans were tried. One was
to place the anthers in glass tubes
from which the air was subsequently
exhausted. Another was to pack them
in similar tubes which, besides being
exhausted of air, We're dried with sui
phuric acid. A large percentage of
the pollen, which included that of
grapefruit, tangelo, orange, etc, ger
minated promptly after arrival at its
destination. The long-distance ship
ment of pollen in vacuum tubes offers
a convenient substitute for the ship
ment of whole plants for use in breed
ing, in certain cases, and one which

DEATH DUE TO EXHAUSTION
Man Who Succumbs to Exposure Is
Not Really "Frozen," as 1t Is
Generally Understood.

During the deep sleep which follows
extreme fatigue the sensitiveness of
the nervous system is greatly reduced,
and it becomes unable to perceive the,
lowness of temperature. The uncon-
scious sleep gradually passes into the
Inconsistencies of collapse. Accord
ing to the popular belief such man
dies frozen to DEATH" but as matt
ter of fact he was killed long before
his temperature fell to zero.
What really killed him was the re
duction of the activity of his tissue,
which always follows the loss of nerv-
GUS control. AS a result there was
less and less chemical change accom-
panied by the production of heat, and
at an internal temperature of about IS
degrees life ceased.
That is why, as experience has often
shown. the weary traveller who gives
way to the imperative desire to sleep
on the line Of march is doomed to
death when he has no adequate pro-
lection from extreme cold.

no LIVE LONG!

A recipe given by famous physician
for long life was: vKeep the kidneys in
good order! Try to eliminate thru the
skin and intestines the poisons that
otherwise clog the kidneys. Avoid eat
ing meat as much as possible; avoid too
much salt, alcohol, tea. Try milk and
vegetable diet. Drink plenty of water,
and exercise SO you sweat : the skin
helps to eliminate the toxic poisons
and uric acid"
For those past middle life, for those
easily recognized symptoms of infam-
nation, as backache, scalding uwater," !"
or if uric acid in the blood has caused
rheumatism, vrusty" joints, stiffness,
get Anuric at the drug store. This is a
wonderful eliminator of uric acid and
was discovered by DR.. Pierce of Invalids'
Hotel, Buffalo, N. Y.e If your druggist
does not keep it send 10 cents to DIR.
Pierce for trial package and you will
find that it is many times more potent
than lithia and that it dissolves uric
acid as hot water does sugar.

tonislllng how few people will go to
the trouble to raise their own stock.
One may buy good bushes for from
three to five dollars hundred, and if
there is bush that bears well about
the place it will supply with advantage
all of the basis needed without max
ing any purchases.
According to the ancient method,
cuttings were taken late in August
or early in September, tied in bundles
of so and then buried tips down in
the earth, with the butts a couple of.
inches below the surface. The butts,
callus and the cuttings are transplant
ed to the nursery row either late in
the fall or early in the spring. If they
are set in the fall, they must have pro-
lection throughout the winter.
But it is a much more common prac-
tice among nurserymen to take the
cuttings and place them in the nursery
row almost Immediately after they are
cut from the old bush. If they are
thus handled, a good portion of the
plants will develop roots before the
winter comes and when the first warm
days of spring arrive they are ready
to start growth in earnest.
There remains another plan for the
man or woman who hasn't had time to
attend to the fall planting. 1t is TO
take the cuttings some time during
the winter and bury them in sand in
the cellar until spring. They are then
set in the nursery row. They will dc
almost as well as the fall cuttings.
When it comes to setting currant
cuttings the least costly way is to
plow furrOw and then put the cut
tings against the land side of the fur
row. One or two buds are left above
! the ground. The buds below the sur
/ face of the ground should be taken of
if the tree form is wanted. The eartf
should be packed firmly against the
bases of all Of the cuttings.
There is no difference in the manner
of taking the cuttings, no matter wha
form of propagation is adopted. Tht
new growth should always be used
Make a clean, square cut just below /;
bud for the base of the cutting. 4
slanting cut, some distance above
bud should be made for the top. Th
purpose of this is to shed water ant
to keep disease from getting a hold Of
the young plant.
Nurserymen generally let the youn
bushes grow a couple of years befor
selling them, but there is really no rea
son why healthy plant should not
given it's permanent home after it
a year old.
