Ileinbangh House Burned.

About IL O'Clock on Sunday
night the 9th inst, when Geo.
Heinbaugh and his family were
in bed at their home two miles
northwest of Mercersburg, they
were awakened by the smell of
smoke, the fire cracking, in the
rear of the building, and by the
screams of their children.
The house was a large new
frame structure, the family NOV
ing into it recently. Everything
in the house was destroyed. The
family was driven into the zero
cold with nothing but their bed
and night clothes. The father
carried his two children, who
were overcome with smoke, in
his arms to a place of shelter.
The one child never regained
consciousness until M Monday
morning.
The alarm was sounded by
blowing the whistle on the Byron
tannerv at Mercersburg and a
number of Mcrcersburg people
braved the storm to give assist
ance to the unfortunate family.
BY the time they arrived on the
scene the home and contents
were completely destroyed.
The members of the unfortu-
nate family were taken to the
home of Georges brother David,
not far distant. The two BROTH
ers, David and George, sons of
Mr.. and Mrs. John Heinbaugh
of Ayr township. bought the old
McAfee farm last spring and d.
vided it and George built the new
home now destroyed.
Mr.. Heinbaugh's loss is about |
$4,000. He had no insurance but |
contemplated placing such pro-
lection on the house when the
barn was completed. In the
house were 100 bushels of wheat,
100 bushels of potatoes, 60
bushels of apples, 800 quarts of
canned fruit, the meat of one
hog and clover seed. Nothing
whatever was saved.

Short Visit.

Edward Pittman, who with his

prominent farm and ranchman in
southern Colorado, brought a
carload Of cattle to the Kansas
City market, and then came on
to McConnellsburg to spend the

other Fulton County relatives.
His visit, however, was cut short;
for on Saturday evening, he re-
ceived a telegram that his part
ner Ed Comerer, had been taken,
to the hospital for an operation
for gall stones, and this made it
necessary for Ed Pittman to take
the next train for home to help
take care of the large number of
cattle on their ranch.

fine CHANCE FOR MECHANICS.
Men Of Manual Ability and AIertness
Wanted as Aviation Mechanic.
ianS In the U. 5. Navy.

Young men with liking for
mechanics are offered an attrac-
tive opportunity by the Navy for
skilled work that is indispensable
now and which will open up un.
told chances in the future.
1t takes many men to make the
flight of the aviation perfect, safe
and effective. 1t is this field
which Secretary Daniels has just
opened up by calling for eight
thousand men for the ground
personnel of the Navy's Flying
Corps. They are not wanted to
fly or necessarily to become men
of the ships. Their training and
the development of their skill
will all be directed to making
them men of a new calling me-
chanics of the birdmen. Most of
the men will be trained at the
Naval Air Station, Bay Shore,
Long Island. This is of compar-
atively short duration. Good
work will bring desired ratings
in the service. Promotion will
be as quick as it is deserved.
The requirements for enroll
ment will be the same as those
for the regular service of the
United States Navy. Carpenters
mates will train for approximate
ly six weeks. On completion of
the training. the provisional
landsmen, after examination,
will be rated first or second class
petty officers, carpenters, wood
workers, machinists, copper
smiths, blacksmiths, fabric work.
ers, riggers, acetylene welders,
gas engine repair-men and instru-
ment makers are included in the
trades covered by these ratings.

SALUVIA SUMMARIZINGS.
Miss Pauline Ham Had Limb Fractured
and David Sipes Shst
Fingers Off.

Bryan G. Mellott and famil,
who removed to Ohio about
year ago, returned from Deshle
to Pleasant Ridge last Friday
They came to Everett, thence b,
Schetrompf's automobile to Sa
luvia.
Miss Pauline Ham, daughter
of R. R. Ham, met with an &C
cident on Friday of last week by
which one of her legs was brok
en-. She was riding a horse from
her home to the home of her sis.
ter, Mrs. Clem Sipes, when the
horse slipped on a piece of icy
road and fell, breaking Miss
Pauline's right leg between the
knee and ankle. She was com.
PEELED to creep on her hands and
knees about half a mile to get to
the home of her sister. DR.. Rob-
inson was called from McCon-
nellsburg and set the broken
limb, but we understand she suf-
fers much pain at times.
David Sipes, son of Oliver
Sipes, deceased, met with an ac-
cident last Friday which cost him
the loss of two fingers. He was
out hunting, and coming on some
game he cooked the gun and was
about to shoot, when the game
disappeared. He set the gun
down on the breech, having his
fingers over the muzzle of the
gun. The jar caused by setting
the gun down, caused it to ''go
off" with the result that two of
his fingers went with the load.
Squire Charles w. Mellott, ac-
companied by Charles Hess, had
an automobile accident on the
hill near Breezewood on Friday
of last week. On account of the
snow, the car skidded from the
road plunging into a telegraph
pole. The impact threw Charlie
Hess through the wind shield,
cutting his face severely. Mr..
Mellott who was driving the ma
chine and had firm hold of the
wheel, escaped with but little in
jury. The machine was some-
what injured, but after some re-
pairs, it was able to go home on
its own power.
Samuel H. Hockensmith is still
quite i'll from a complication of
diseases. He moved into the
home with his son L. j. a few
days ago.

A FOOD ADMINISTRATION.
Little Talks on Health and Hygiene by
Samuel G. Dixon, N. D., IL. D.,
Commissioner OF Health.

Most Of our foodstuffs are
made up of different constituents.
A potato is largely composed of
starch, whereas beefsteak is
largely composed of nitrogen or
protein. Starch represents so
many heat-praducing units, and
beefsteak likewise produces its
own quota.
This is so when you consider
the matter from a laboratory
standpoint, but if you made a
test of the same values by feed
ing these foods to human beings,
you would find the values varied
greatly because of the variations
of the human or organic ma
chinery which handled them.
Starch, for instance, in the cases
Of ONE individuals. passes
through the digestive system
without the body assimilating it
and obtaining the addition of its
heat units. In the cases of
other individuals, the same thing
would happen with beefsteak.
For this reason, we must re-
member, when advising food
stuff for a community, that what
is one mans meat is another
mans poison. Thus it behooves
those who have the power to
regulate foodstuffs for COM
munity to be liberal enough in
drawing up their lists to meet
the demands of the different
capabilities of the digestive
system of the different individu-
ais. In other words, one capable
of making a rational selection
must have a thorough knowledge
of the physiology of foodstuffs.
The people of the State of
Pennsylvania eat too much po-
tato. The large proportion of
starch in the composition of this
vegetable produces a catarrhal
condition of the digestive tract,
which interferes with digestion
and leaves the patient insuffici-
emily nourished, eventually over
a long series of years producing
starvation.
Meat, as rule, is also over
eaten by Pennsylvanians. Just
now, however, during the tension
of war we need more meat than
usual.
1t should also be kept in mind
that meat will be more easily
produced during the war than
will vegetables, for our trouble
will be the want of male help to
carry out the continuous de-
mands occasioned by the cultiva-
ton of vegetables during all
stages from planting to gather
ing, whereas cattle can in great
measure take care of themselves
and what human help is required
need not be of the highest de-
velopment, either physical or
