one In the kitchen. After some urg-
ing. Mr.. Kendall arose to investi-
gate As soon as he opened the
kitchen door he was enveloped In a
cloud of smoke. so thick that he
could not enter. He went out the
front door, grabbed the garden hose
and went to the rear OF the house
He could not raise the Kitchen
window. but with one mighty swing
of the garden hose broke II from
top to bottom. In few minutes
he had the fire under control with
water from the garden hose and II
was nearly out when the fire depart
ment arrived. The only heating ap-
paratus In the kitchen Is a gas stove.
and the origin OF the fire is a mys-
tery that will probably never be
solved. The fire destroyed n sewing

floor and the interior OF the house
was so badly damaged by smoke that

The story OF the play is that of an
unaffected young woman of twenty

tired OF being pitied, patronized and
imposed upon by a selfish family.
Realizing that her engagement would
alter her position in the family, she
determines to become engaged to an
imaginary Colonel Smith. Her en-

HEALTH TALKS
By DR.. r. r. Daniels.
Bran Bread.

Since the advent of modern meth
DDS Of milling some twenty or thirty
years ago, we have been living largely
upon bread entirely devoid Of ban.
Those who are familiar with matters
OF health know that white fur is in
reality an impoverished food. Not
only is the bran necessary stimulate
the secretons of the digestive Juices,
which digest the balance Of the grain,
but 10 SEPARATING the bran from the
grain, there is lost good portion Of
the protein part Of the grain and not
only valuable mineral IT, ments, but
the actual life-g.ving elements Of the
grain as we'll.
At this time there is a decided ten
dencY to go from one extreme Of eat
ing no bran at all to the other en-
IRENE of making bread almost en-
tirely of bran. Health magazines
and health articles everywhere give
directions for various kinds Of bran
bread. An excess of bran is almt ST
as undesirable from the standpoint OF
good digestion and nutrition, as 9
complete absence of bran. Too much
bran subjects the delicate mucou:
membrane lining the Intestinal tube
to an undue scratching, an excessive
irritation, which is decidedly detr
mental to the health Of the digestiv,
organs. Furthermore, bran breaC
| does not contain sufficient amount
of starchY material. Starch is quit
necessary to add to the strength
vlgor and energy Of the body
To making our bread the best plar
is TO mix the bran and the whea
-four in about the same proportion a
they occur in the grain, which woult
be about one fourth, by bulk: abou
one teacupful of bran to three teacup
fuls OF white -four. In this way tn
body will get the starch which i
needs from the white flour and will
also get the indispensable protein
tissue salts and lift-giving element
from the bran, as well as the bra
itself.
