D. c. PoTTER's HOUSE BURNED
Fire This Morning Destroyed House
Near Guideboard.

The two story house owned by Dan
iel c. Potter, located this side of the
reservoir on the Burgess road, and
occupied b ythe owner and his son
and daughter.in-law, Mr. and Mrs. f..
L. Potter was burned to the ground
this morning about 6 o'clock. The
fire was caused by defective flue,
and started when Mrs. Potter was pre-
pairing breakfast.
AS the house is outside the corpora
tion limits, no help could be obtained
from the village fire department, so
the neighbors formed a bucket bri-
gade and managed to save most of the
furniture and the shed which is used
as a garage. The occupants lost
nearly all their clothing and the furni-
ture in the upper story. The loss is
covered by insurance..

BY FLORENCE NEWMAN

MILTON, Ind, March 1S.-One Of
the pretty social events of the week
was the ST. Patrick's Day party given
by the committee of the Embroidery
club, at the home of Mrs. L. E. Thomp.
son Friday evening. The house was
tastefully decorated In the color
scheme of green and white, Shamrock
being the prominent feature, and the
evening was happily spent in games
pertaining to st. Patrick ideas. The
committee, composed Of Mrs. W. H.
Brown, Mrs. Wilbur Elwell, Mrs. L. E..
Thompson, Mrs. Robert Beeson and
Mrs. John 1ngermann. were stationed
at the door and received in true Irish
hospitality. The ladies were gowned
in beautiful green crepe dresses and
gave very unique appearance to the
fancy costumes of the day.
Upon receiving the guests the COM
mittee invited them to kiss the blair.
ney stone, and In the arch between
the parlors the great and noted stone
was placed In such manner that the
person wishing to kiss the stone must
climb the steps Of ladder which rep
resented the difficult cliffs that one
must climb over to reach the real
"Blarney Stone" The guests were
then notified that in the several rooms
would be found Snakes" and these
must be hunted out and that partners
would thus be matched for luncheon.
This created much diversion as well
as horror in handling even a represen-
tations of a snake
When the work was completed the
guests were told that five minutes
would be given partners to barney
each other, after which the following
menu was served: A raw Irish potato,
glass of water, salt, toothpick and
napkin. Favors given were pieces Of
tertainment of the evening was now
fairly under way and all were in a
merry mood, when the gentlemen were
presented with a nice sized Irish
potato, knives, toothpicks, tacks and
buttons and told to fashion pig from
the material at hand.
The ladies were presented with
pipes and scissors, ribbons and crepe
paper and told to dress dolls. In
this contest Edw Wilson won first
prize for the best pig and Mrs. Mary
Manlove won the prize for the best
doll. Following the contest the lunch
con proper was served, the ladies
matching partners from the choice of
pigs presented them from which to
choose. The menu was composed of
chicken patties, lettuce sandwiches,
mint gelatine and coffee as frst
course, and green gage ice and white
cake decorated in Shamrock. A tiny
pipe was given as favors.

Health Endangered
By High Heels
By DR.. SAMUEL C. DIXON
Commissioner Of Health Of Pennsylvania

The present extremely high heels
worn by the majority of American
women, both old and young, mean de-
formity of the feet. N-ray pictures in
dicating the relation of the toe to the
ground when they are encascd in these
high-heeled shoes, show that women
are walking on the ends of their five
toes. There is food for thought in the
fact that the horse nowadays walks
on n foot consisting of one toe, while
In the more primitive animal there
We're three or five toes.
The shape of the natural foot of mar
has II great variety of uses and it Is
one of the things that has helped to
place him first in the life of the earth.
The natural foot has been one of the
anatomical facts that has helped him
to his present high state of efficiency.
The. form of that foot mas enabled him
to become. u good hunter, q good farm
er, a good sailor, a good soldier-in
fact, anything he has found it neces-
sary through the ages to become, or
finds essential for the war we are
lIGJiiJiE " 1tiIilIluC Jul bCi rpllIil lib-
erty.
Let the butterfly girls and the other
high-heeled old and young women stop
and realize the value of the normal
foot of man. Let them cut off the high
heel and substitute the natural level.
This might also work out to the in
terest of direct economy by using the
surplus heel to make thicker soles on
the shoes.
Let us recognize the models of ma
ture which have led us to success. If
mans foot had been abused for an
indefinite time in a way to have re-
duced it to II one-toed foot, resembling
the horses, he would have u hard time
trying to fulfill his present duties in
{ life.
The high heel represents the fashion
for the women of today and means
a great ~discounting of the value Of
mankind, particularly If 1t is continued
n long time. The present high heel is
not only torturous but of great injury
to the health. The mother must re-
member that she is partly responsible
for the feet of her children and that
IL she wants them to have normal,
strong feet she must keep them natu-
rally shod.

Edgefield Extends Sympathy.

In this hour of unspeakable sor-
row over the death early last week
of their little son, Benjamin Croker
Miller, Mr.. and Mrs. Sidney Miller
have the profound sympathy of
their EdgefeId friends. The name,
Benjamin Croker, made this little
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Miller dear to
the Edgefeld friends of his great
uncle, the late Benjamin Croker.
In this dark hour these bereaved
friends can find comfort in the
thought that their little one has
been waited to the bosom of Him
who has always been the especial
friend of the little child and that
little Benjamin has been taken in
his sweet innocence from the blight
ing and communicating things Of
earth to that home of eternal joy
there to await the coming of father
and mother.

Death of Mrs. Hugh Hamilton

Sunday afternoon Mrs. Hamilton,
the beloved wife of Mr.. Hugh T..
Hamilton, died of pneumonia after
an illness of only eleven days.
Scarcely a death occurs anywhere
without some special reason why it
is peculiarly sad and unfortunate,
from human standpoint. Besides
the bereaved husband, the death of
Mrs. Hamilton leaves a sweet little
daughter just five years of age.
This dear little girl is almost too
young to remember her mother, GER
tainly she will in the future years
recall but little of her. She will
never know the comfort and JOY, to
say nothing of the real value, of a
mothers love and devotion. She
will have a faithful!and loving faith
er but not mother. Before her
marriage Mrs. Hamilton was
Debrah Rodic and was reared in
Sound, Maine. She was a trained
nurse and was residing in Jackson
Vile, Fla, at the time she married
Mr.. Hamilton. Her relations re-
side in the North and possess con-
siderable wealth. The funeral was
conducted Monday afternoon by
DR.. E. Pendleton Jones.

Wants Plenty OF
Cabbage, Turnips
And Late Crops
every Pound OF Food Is Going

Jobson-New Plow The Very
Thing For Late Paintings.

That this section has plenty OF time
to measure up to every requirement
in the food crisis is the firm opinion OF
Jno. B. Jobson, inventor Of the Jobson
plow and founder Of the Jobson Sys-
tenn Of Agriculture.
1T is true there is no time to
waste" says JobSon, land 1t is also
] true that there is no cleared land that
! we can afford to leave idle this season
9What every man, woman and child in
Hhe U. S. today should do is to plant
food, and to encourage everybody also
| to do the same"
"Au available land should be broken
up and planted in late corn, turnlpS,
cabbage and other things that will sus-
tain life. Every pound Of food raised
is going to be needed and every pound
will be just that much to uphold our
great nation in the coming hour OF
need"
To get the best results from land
that is broken right now or later in
the season, the Jobson System meth
DDS are strongly advised, for the re-
markable Jobson PloW is the one i'm
plement that exactly meets our needs.
1t is inexpensive, practical and easily
adapted to any and all conditions. 1t
