FIRE DESTROYS VINEGAR
FACTORY OF THE ROUND
CREST COMPANY TUESDAY

The vinegar factory OF the Hound
Crest Canning company Was practic-
atty destroyed by IRE on Tuesday
morning at $3.50. The exact origin of
TIE blaze In not known but II ,s-thot
BY those who discovered II to have
started on the outside at the south
west corner next to the river. A pile
OF shavings and refuse was lying near
this point and II is possible that a
cigarette or cigar butt. thrown caro-
lessly. ignited the infiamebie material.
Another supposiuon is that a spark
from an engine may have been the
, cause. The loss which may be 1000
sr $4,000 is fully covered by insur-
anca. The amount Of the loss. of
curse is entirely conjectural at this
time.
There was . rumor current that the
hro was of snccndiary origin but this
cannot be substantiated. the opinion
Of the various heads OF deprtments
being that there is no truth in the re
port.
The destroyed building Is situated
TO the south and west OF the new mod
eru canning plant which was recently
constructed. The new building was in
no way damaged. nor was Il in danger
al any time. =
The vinegar factory was OF frame

Training Little Children

that it pays to mete out like meas
ure 10 another.
The general idea OF the kindergar-
ten is just that-of recognizing the
child as an individual having rights.
and OF training this individuality. by
allowing il 10 express itself volun-
tarily.
OF necessity this expression must
be guided and guarded. so that the
best qualities Of self find the read
lest expression. Children are quick
TO accept the standards of living that
we are privileged TO set them, quick
10 respond 70 the frown or the
smile and slow 10 question where
they are accustomed TO receive jus
tice.
At no time OF life so much as in
childhood is the opportunity given
10 bring out and establish traits Of
character that make for a sound
manhood or womanhood.
One Of the greatest opportunities
within reach OF all mothers is
through the medium of story-tell-
ing. Stories interest children enorm-
ously, absorbing the entire attention
for the time being They establish
a bond of mutual sympathy between
the story-teller and the listener.
They teach lessons Of bravery. un-
selfshness, kindness and a regard
for truth, with no seeming effort in
those directions. They also develop
the imagination When we stop 70
think that every invention We have.
every great effort accomplished, was
first developed in some individual
mind through the aid Of the imagin-
alton, we will do everything we can
to foster this great power in our
children.
Every child who has the oppor-
tunity Of attending a we'll organized
kindergarten has a distinct ad-
vantage over one who is denied such
an opportunity. While the kinder
garten idea may to some extent be
carried out by the mother in the
home. much additional training is
afforded the child by coming in con-
tact with groups of children OF
similar age. and by spending two or
three hours daily under the guidance
OF the trained worker, whose efforts
are all aimed at developing what is
brightest and best in his unfolding
life.

If all ones clothes are navy blue,
for instance, ali hats will look well
with them; the umbrella may be of
navy blue or it may match the hat.
Many a woman misses being well
dressed, because she is not careful
enough about the hat she wears.
Far better get one good hat for
each season, and wear it the while
season through, than have a va
riety of .poor-looking hats that give
at once a tawdry effect to the cos
tune.
Autumn is here and some thought
must be given to clothes. Home
gowns appeal to one at this season
something to get into when one
comes in out of the cold and lays
aside the suit that has been worn all
day. A teagown seems somehow to
belong TO the past. We live in a
more active age and want to i'm
press this, even in our dress. What
could be more ideal, for home wear,
than a soft brown or a soft shade Of
putty in charmeuse satin? Such a
gown could be made pretty full in
the skirt, with a ruche at the bot
tom. and a coat cut on the lines Of
sweater. rather a loose one. and

Women of America

The appeal of a simple home-lov-
ing woman who has sent her hus-
band cheerfully to the front:
Sisters do you realize what this
great war means? Do you realize
what our brave boys are fighting and
dying for? Do you not see we are
fighting for the Rights of Human
ity? Would you that the enemy
should come upon you and your
daughters like they did the women
and children of Belgium?
Then put forth your energy. Say
not. what shall / do?' But rather,
I shall do the most in my power to
help win this war My dear sisters
have you given your sweetheart,
brothers, father, son or husband,
one or all to your country's need -?
Did you urge them or did you pre-
vail upon them TO say. Give me ex-
emption for / am her only support@
If you did the first, God bless you,
but if the last. are you so weak and
helpless, could you not support
yourself like hundreds of women
and girls are today But instead

of the figure. The skirt was of me-
dunn length, made with broad tucks,
while a loose effect in the coat was
most becoming. The loveliest shades
in Silbo, and the smartest, are
white, a deep rich purple and navy
blue, and this sensible woman had
these for her summer wear, since,
having found what suited her she
was content to adhere to il.
Another charming suit noted was
of silver gray silk poplin. with skirt
Of plisse soleil and a long coat
reaching to below the knees, an the
same plisse from yoke belted at
the waist. The long shimmering
lines gave a slender effect and were
most becoming. The bodice. worn
with this, was of fine pale gray
georgette. over pale rose with silver
embroidery, and the large soft col
Lar was allowed to fall outside the
coat With these costumes black
hats we're worn, which were neither
too large nor too small. They were
we'll thought out hats, not mere
fashion imposed ones!
The secret then, as regards fash
ion, is to be in the intermediate,
neither in the extreme of fashion,
nor tagging too far behind; but in
the spirit which might be christened
the dare 10 be ones self.
If ones means are not such as to
allow Of several complete costumes,
then a good plan is TO adopt one
