INVALID DIES Of
BURNS RECEIVED
FROM OPEN FIRE

Miss Mary C. Allen, forty years old,
and an invalid. lies dead today. the
victim OF an open fireplace. which for
eighteen long months had been her
comfort.
For eighteen months Miss Allen
had been an invalid. Her mother and
brother, John c. Allen. did everything
in their power to make the unfor-
tunate daughter and sister happy.
The back library room on the first
floor of the little home at 1862 ChuEch
street was turned into a bed room for
Miss Allen. The room was bright and
CHEEKY. There were no steps to climb
when going to bed, and there was the
open CRATE, with its bright blaze,
which always meant hope to the in
valid. For hours she would sit and
watch the fire. 1t was warm and
comfortable and gave the unfor-
tunate woman that hope which never
dies in invalids.
Burned on Face.
Today she is dead as the result OF
burns on the face and body received
yesterday evening. Rnd the fire which
burned Miss Allen to death was from
that same crate that had always
meant so much to her.
The brother, John c. Allen, today
told The Times OF the holiday tragedy.

floor, shaving; it was after o'clock

scream The next instant found me
frantically beating out the flames
that had enveloped Mary. Even the
rug had burned. She couldn't tell me
about it.
Died at Midnight.
Then the Emergency ambulance
came. She died at midnight"
That was the story. Probably the
unfortunate woman was seeking once
more the comfort which only that
CRATE seemed to give her. Perhaps
abe was drowsy and leaned too near
the flames.
Mr.. Allen, who extinguished the
names, received bad burns about his
left hand. He is making arrange

services will probably take place at

FOR THIRSTY GARDENS
Windmill Plays Important Part in
Production of Food.
Lack Of Timely Rainfall Is Often
Doom of Otherwise Carefully Han
died and Tended Patch-con-
serve Water Pumped.

That the farm windmill should play
an important part this year in the
great food-production campaign, is the
belief of H. B. Walker, drainage ano
irrigation engineer, Kansas State Agri
cultural college.
ssThe farm windmill should be nc
Stacker this year." said Professor
Walker. "It should be ready day anc
night to absorb the energy of the vino
to lift water for thirsty gardens. Lack
of timely rainfall is often the doom OF
an otherwise carefully handled and
tended vegetable garden.
"This year the farm garden will be
an important factor in reducing the
cost of living. Accordingly, every pre-
caution should be taken to prevent q
failure of the garden crops. In those
areas where the natural rainfall is not
dependable, some simple method of 1r.
rigation should be provided"
The farm windmill will serve faith
fully and we'll in lifting water for IT.
rigation if given an opportunity, Pro-
fessor Walker pointed out. This faith
full source of farm power, however, will
not save the garden unless the. owner
co-operates in conserving the water
pumped. The average windmill lifts
water internationally and at slow
rate. Consequently, if the water
pumped is allowed to flow directly onto
the warm, dry soil, a small area only
can be satisfactorily covered. A small
trickling flow does not spread laterally
over the surface of the soil, but it per-
colates deeply into the soil beyond the
reach of the shallow-rooted vegetables.
If the water lifted. on the other
hand, is stored in tanks, barrels, or
reservoirs, a volume sufficiently large
can be secured in a surprisingly short
time to effectively irrigate q much
larger area. A barrel Of water con-
tanning 311s gallons will cover a gar
den bed six feet wide by eight feet
long, one inch deep. A quantity of
water even as small as this, if properly
applied, will greatly help the lettuce
bed or the shallow-rooted radishes. 1t
is advisable, therefore, to use even
an ordinary barrel for storage, if moth
ing larger is available, in preference to
direct pumping.
A reservoir sufficiently large to hold
all of the water the average windmill
can pump in three or four days Is
much more desirable.

Atlanta, Ga. DIP, jacobson said in
recent interview that 80 per cent. OF
enema comes from nervous break
down which can only be corrected by
supplying the necessary phosphates
to the nervous system that is lacking
in the food you eat, and this can be
quickly supplied by taking one or two
5-grain Argo-Phosphate tablets after
each meal, and at bed time. 1t will in
many cases make a pale scrawney face

SPECIAL NOTICE. The Argo-
Phosphate recommended by DR.. F. H.
Jacobon contains phosphates such as
are prescribed by leading ply sicians
throughout the world, and it will be
