Plant for Late Crops

INEXPERIENCED gardeners do not need TO
Il. be reminded that now is the proper time
to use all available space not already utilized
for planting vegetables for fall and winter
use, but such reminder is necessary for the
amateur gardener. Such crops as Irish pota-
toes, celery, late cabbage, snap beans, beets,
carrots, etc, may be planted with reasonable
assurance of maturing later when the sup
ply, will be scarce In Virginia it is possible
to grow vegetabl over period OF several
months, and by canning and picking the
supply for home use may be made TO extend
over the entire year. The home garden
movement is success SO far, but it will fail
of full fruition if late crops are not planted.

Renaissance CT Corn Bread

NYIE are ten led to wonder why it is that
w Mr.. Hoover and his fellow food con-
ser'atlonlsts md it necessary to applaud the
merits OF corn bread in loud, ringing notes:
why 1t is that its virtues must be paraded as a
"-eat-saving measure. Is it possible that
there is an American with soul so dead that
ne does not know the exquisite possibilities
OF corn meal? Is it possible that there is
housewife in the land so benighted that she
mas TO be told that corn is as much prince
OF the larder as it is the king of the field?
We refuse to believe it,
Certainly no Virginian worthy of the name
has to be reminded that corn bread is the most
democratic delcacy in the world. Whether
II be corn pone" or corn cakes; whether it
be egg bread or spoon bread, it does not
matter We know it's compelling appeal 1t
is uncomfortable to us that any consumer in any
section OF the whole country needs to be en-
joined TO eat corn bread II they all valued
it as we do, domestic embargo would have 10
be laid against 1t.

nammation of both the joint and the bone
nearby
Whatever were the older theories as to tho
cause OF this slowly deforminG disease. we arc
now sure that II is produced by Infection from
some septic focus which. perhaps. has given the
patient no conscious trouble for years Govt
weather, diet, climate. exposure and the like
are not factors. though the patient may be made
better or worse by many Of the alleged causes
OF rheumatism"
Occasionally a case Of osteo-arthrtis is OBJ

and this Is known as Stills disease.
one characteristic sign OF eo-arthritis is n
peculiar thickenng OF the joints of the fingers
called Beberden's nodes. These swelIinEs at
times are quite sore and reddened: and again
they are comparatively painless. though the
may become partly dislocated. that the fingers
gradually become twisted out OF position. Such
hands may be restored TO comparative useful
ness by surgical means.
Larger joints may or may not become in

stiffness in the neck or back due to involvement
of spinal joints.
Such obviously poisonous condition as

nlng he was ready to slop the hogs,
feed the calf and kick the cat. Now
If he gets an uncomfortable feeling
back of his waist band the doctor
calls it appendicitis, lays him on a
table, cuts hole in his anatomy and
he-dies maybe. Again in the good
old days you could take a razor or
corn cutter and trim your corns. put
on your boots and pillow all day.
Now, If you scrape the top of your
toe, blood poisoning sets in and off
comes your leg. This is a strenuous
age and don't you forget it,"

DEBORAH BOYS IN FIRE LOSS
MESSRS. ALBERT WANGLER AND
ERNEST ROSENTHAL LOSE
DRUG STORE BY FIRE
AT DYERSVILIE.
Stock Valued at $1,000. Nothing
Was Saved.

A dispatch in Saturdays daily
papers gives the following news oe
a disastrous fire which took place at
Dyersville last Thursday night,
in which the drug store of Messrs.
Albert Wangler and Ernest Rosen-
thai, formerly of DEBORAH, was des-
troyed by fire:
Damage carefully estimated at
100000 resulted from a fire which
for several hours Thursday night
threatened the destruction Of Dyers-
ville's business district.
Before the flames had been extin-
guished the building occupied by the
Rosenthal and Wangler drug store
was mass of blackened ruins; the
drug store of Edward Brueckner, one
door west, was Quilted and eighty per
cent of the stock ruined, Muehe and
Sons hardware stock was damaged
of every business building in the
| block were flooded.
The fire was discovered in the
basement of the Rosenthal and
| Wangler store on the north side of
Main street at 1880 o'clock. The
flames had made good Roadway and
the building was doomed to destruc-
ton when the alarm was sounded.
Realizing that the fire, almost in
the center Of block in the heart of
the town, was beyond control, aid
was summoned from Manchester,
Farley and Dubuque. Manchester re-
sponded with a hosecart and crew of
workers and Farley sent two hand
hosecarts. Chief Reinfried and an
automobile engine arrived from Du-
buque after the fire was under con-
troll.
Five streams of water were finally
put into play and after valiant
fight the tiremen gained the mas
terry.
iS ONNuplCu NY llG nus
enthal and Wangler store was COM
ipletely destroyed 1t was a two
story brick structure owned by Ed
ward Brueckner, who bought the
building short time ago for $4,000
and was to take possession and re-
move his drug stock into it on Feb.
ruary l The second floor was util-
lied as club room by the Catholic
Order of Foresters.
The value of the Rosenthal and
Wangler stock was placed at $1,000.
Nothing was saved.
The stock of Rosenthal and Wang
Ter was only partially covered by in
surance. The building was well in
sured by Mr.. Brueckner, whose in
surance will also practically cover
the damage done to the stock in his
own store adjoining.
