RESIDENCE BURNED.

A three room residence, on ths
corner opposite the Dick Smith
place, was destroyed by fire
Friday just after noon, and an
adjoining house was slightly dam
aged. The prompt response and
good work of the fire department
doubtless saved about four 9th

was the property OF c. w. Hol-

carried insurance. The occupants
of the place saved only small

Bishop l. N. Ross, of the A. NJ. e.

of the Baptist Church, have returned
from a trip to Africa. Their reports
are interesting and highly encourag-

The Duncan hotel has been purchased by
the board of directors of the Nashville
Young Mems Christian association for the
cOlOred mems branch, Y. NJ. c. A. The
price for the building was $4,000. Thus
what has long been considered one of
Nashville's greatest needs-a modern asso-
citation building for the conservation, phys

negro men and boys of the city-will be
realized. The Duncan Is to be turned
over to its new owners on January 1.

Nashville has taken her place along with
other cities throughout the country, as a

,NEEmPERANcE IN FOOD.

Someone has rather aptly said that
'one-third Of what we eat enables us
to live, and the other two-thirds pro-
vides living for the doctors," says
Farm and Home. And undoubtedly
overeating, quite as much as improper
foods, is responsible for many of our
bodily ills; for all that is eaten over
that required to nourish our bodies
and furnish the necessary energy over
taxes the organs of digestion and ell
mination and prematurely wears out
the human engine, just as too much
fuel more quickly burns out furnace
or the kitchen range. Intemperance
in food is prolific source of colds,
obesity, gut, rheumatism, Bright's
disease, constipation and other ills.
High living, overeating and too much
protein food is also said to be con-
ducive to the development of cancer

attack the moderate livers or the un-
derfed. True, different individuals

Gem imports for last year through
the port of New York were valued at
forty-five million dollars, being with
single exception the largest in his
tory. The, year holding the record
was 1913, when the entries had a
value of $46,13l32S. The reason for
the extraordinary imports in that year
was that dealers were rushing gems
into the country in order to avoid the
increased duties contemplated in the
Underwood tariff bill, which later
in the year became the present tariff
law. At that time dealers simply
added their importations to stocks,
trusting to time to dispose of the
gems. 1t may be that one reason for
the present activity in imports of gems
is that Europeans are in no mood to
buy, and practically the only market
remaining open is the United States.

For the first time in the history of
the United States this country is han
ding its own sealskins, condition that
should have been brought about long
ago, but was not, remarks Portland
Oregonian, largely owing to trade
secrets connected with the dressing
and dyeing Of the furs, which were
possessed exclusively in England.
Seal furs are used more extensively
in America than in any other country
on the globe, and the United States
government has done more to prevent
seals from becoming extinct than all
the other nations put together. The
total number in the Alaskan herd
now is estimated at 100000, and it is
believed that 100000 will be added
this summer, after which, under mod
crate regulation, there will be little
danger of extinction, SUCH as faced the
fur-bearing seals only few years ago.

ONLY BoYHooD MEMORY NOW

Remember the old tin safe that stood
in the corner of the dining room7 It
is still in use to some extent in the
country, but we in the city do not en-,
counter it so frequently as formerly
The ice chest has taken its place, and
the china closet and the pantry have
made it obsolete for the most part. But
it was a wonderful invention in its
day-and the cold food you could snea k
out of it when nobody was looking was
the best food in the world, remarks the
Dayton (O.) News.
A flimsy sort of thing so far as the
woodwork was concerned; cheap popla,
lumber stained with a cheap varnish,--
that is about all it amounted to, with
sheets of tin punched full of tiny holes
like nutmeg CRATER. 1t was ornament

ings for the holes were punched after
pattern, and it had a pleasing effect
because you knew what it contained.
Why, there was the sugar bowl on the
top shelf; they always put the sugar
bowl as high as possible, just so chap
would have to get chair to stand on
when he wanted to investigate.
If the ants discovered the safe, the
legs had to be placed in little recepta-
cles with kerosene in them. Flies could
not get through the small holes in the
tin, but the gnats passed through read,

paper and placed it upon the shelves
SO the edges would drop down and pre-.
sent a pleasing, wavy picture when the
safe was opened, but newspapers were
used upon the shelves-folded neatly
and pressed down flat.
There was a sort of sacred atmos
phere surrounding the old tin safe. It
was the most used and the most usefU
piece of furniture about the home. The
children sought it when nobody else
was present, and half burrowed them
selves in its generous cavities. And
now-just think-we haven't seen an
old tin safe for a generation.
