Fire at Darlinqton.

Darlington Democrat: Fire com
pletely destroyed the old Democrat
office on lower Main street at 400
O'Clock this morning. The building Of
late years had been used as black
smith shop and was owned by John
Reichling. A few months ago it was
converted into an automobile repair
room and was managed by Mr. Reich
ling's sons. DIR. Shockley's Ford, the
Dick Finley car, Frank Doring's 7-pas-
senger Case car, Newton Bros. Inter-
state, Reichling's Ford, car owned by
Harry Smith, one belonging to Ed.
Hancock of Shullsburg, and a Mineral
Point Overland were all left in tangled
mass in the ashes. Several times the
Smith & Brunkow garage adjoining the
Reichling building took fire, but little
damage was done except on the roof.
No insurance was carried on the Reich
ling structure, which was one of the
oldest on Main street, but TOOLS supplies
etc., were we'll protected, though totally
destroyed. Estimated damage done,
$4,000.

Now It's Bottomless Pie.

When is a pie not pie? is ques-
ton which will tax the wits of some
wartime Solomon to solve in squarely
facing the issue Of "bOttOmlesS pies"
as a measure of war saving of food
stuffs in the latest HOOveriZed innOva-
ton of baking for the nation. The
movement to remove the bottom crust
from pies is being taken hold of by
housewives and bakers generally, and
is gaining wide support. New York is
a pie-eating city. 1t is estimated that
an entire pie is eaten between IS per-
sons daily, or a total consumption of
100000 pies each day in the metropOli-
tan district. In one year the collective
Stomachs of New YOrk's pie-eaters alb
sOrb 1S2,000000 of the dainties. Some
one with a penchant for large figures
has gone so far even to state that the
bottom crust Of those pieces, if rolled
out with a large rolling pin across a
40-acre lot, would in a week cover the
surface Of the field and lap over the
fence posts. On the basis of 100000
pies eaten by the entire nation each
day, at the end of the year the bottom
crust of the pies would form a strip
of crust nine yards wide and long
enough to encircle the globe at the
equator. Some crust

Brave Milk Girls of Reims.

The little milk girls Of Reims are
given high rank by Paul Dramas Of
that martyred city, in an article he has
written praising the heroism displayed
by the women of Reims.
"The little milk girls" he writes,
twill never be forgotten at Reims.
Milk was a necessity for the children,
the aged and the sick. Thanks to the
little milk girls they never went with
out. The tinkling Of their little bells
announced their arrival and for A
months they traversed all the streets
of the city. Many time they were
taken by surprise by a storm of shells.
Three of them had to be carried away
on stretchers, yet the others continued
on their route so that the children and
sick should have their milk all the
same. On February % we heard the
tinkling of their bells for the last time.
The little milk girls were sent out Of
the city. They had filed their mis-
sion to the very end, for after that
there were no longer in Reims either
children, aged or sick. All had left"

Fashions may come and fashions
may go, but the habilimentS of Uncle
Sans jackies never vary. Trained to
face nature in the open, the jacky is
invariably ready to meet all sorts of

meet every condition, and the navy
not only has him sufficiently clad, but
has more clothes in his sea bag and

His clothes are eternally blue, the

STILL HAVE BARN RAISINGS
Good Old Custom Has Not Died Out,
Though the Conditions Have
Greatly Changed.

The Connecticut Valley Advertiser
tells it's readers that on Saturday of
last week a barn-raising was held at
Hadlyme with about everybody in Had
lyme and East Haddon present. That
seems much like the old type of barn
raisings but something new comes in
the statement that three kinds of Ii
guilds were to be had for the asking,
one being water and another root beer.
Formerly there were but two, one be-
ing hard cider and the other West In
dia rum.
From early times up to 40 years ago
jewellers in the country did not have
the knack of erecting building with
no more timber in it than could be car
ried on a Wheelbarrow hence, to erect
the frame for a barn or house was
work which taxed the strength of all
and which brought the local carpenter
into place of proud Importance. It
was considered altogether out of the
question to do the work without stimu-
lants, and these were furnished gen.
erously, for, though a man might be
"close" about many things, he could
not afford to ration those who came to
the raising if he hoped to spend the
rest of his life in the community.
Having this in mind, he bought rum
literally, while the sour cider was
brought from his own cellar, but,
though it's ability was recognized, it
was hardly regarded seriously because
everyone had an abundance of it at
home, while drinking rum at the ex-
pense Of another was something alto
gether more important. 1t was hard to
raise a building without it, and, on
some occasions, fairly difficult to raise
one with it. Not infrequently it was
found necessary to continue the work
to a second day because the spirits
from st. Croix had done their work
not wisely but too well. Changing man
ners have modified the work, for the
Advertisers account says that the barn
was raised in a single afternoon. 1t is
a pleasure to know that the work was
done successfully and that this old
form of communal living survives

LIVE ALL TOO FAST
Many Constantly in a Fever of
Movement.
One of Mans Greatest Mistakes Is to
Allow Himself to Be Constantly
Under Pressure and Intense
Nervous Strain.

Some Of us are trying to live our
lives all at once. We would cramp the
slow development of years into the
coming month or week; we would COM
press the work Of an hour into the
next five minutes. Nature-patient,
tireless, cunning laborer that she is
does not favor this plan. She takes. her
time-"Because it is hersr some one
makes prompt answer. "She has COM
mand of all the time there is. She can
be as deliberate as she chooses. We
must make haste because our little
lives are so soon clipped off. The dark
ness TOO early rounds our day. Our
work must be put through with speed
and under pressure or we shall not fin
ish."
The best work even by these feeble
mortal hands and minds Of ours is
done not in fever but in calm. Art
'(and the exception proves the rule)
achieves most nobly when it achieves
with tranquility. The personal cir
tcumstances of the artist may be dis
tressing. He rises above them. His
dream translates him to the skies
above his mundane environment. His
passion for the truth leads him to for
get that he is poor and hungry and
misunderstood. He writes his book Or
paints his picture or cOmpoSeS his
sonata in a land where it is always
Summer and the skies are blue and
dies. BY the force of a creative mag
ination, he establishes for himself a
new Heaven and a new earth, and his
spirit is tranquil because it is trium-
plant over the pinching and gnawing
circumstances.
Artist or artisan, each of us must
learn to make the pilgrimage step at
q time. Let not an anxious forecast
corrugate the brow with the thought
of a morrow sufficient unto itself.
Epicurean delight lives for the mo-
ment; a mans more serious purpose
i'm existence would often do we'll to fol-
low the example. We can be sure as
to what we wish to do with our lives !;
we can have q great and generous aim !;
we can appoint a goal and know the
point we wish to reach and the way by
which we are proceeding. But the
miles we measure forward with the
spiritual eye are not to be O'erleaped
in the next second. We must plod. We
must be content with a wayside inn to-
night, and the next night, and many
nights, perhaps, before we reach our
haven and our home.
1t will not do to disparage this good
ly earth as a vale of tears for all the
sorrow and all the blackness that we
see. The earth is full of fallible peO-
pie like ourselves, trying and coming
to grief and rising to give battle again
in the ineXtinguishable hope of victory.
We are more alike than we realize.
We are a marching army, with leaders
whom we must obey. Like good sol
dierS we must keep the cadence with
the rest. If we grow careless and
Straggle, we diSlOcate the whole pro-
ceeding. We came into this world
bound to be submissive to it's dis
cipline. To defy the natural laws is
only to be miserable and to make mis-
cry for others If war shall teach us
to respond with promptneSS to a COM
mand, out of its horrors will be born
a blessing-Philadelp Public Led

Potash From Mill Dust.

Extraction of potash from the dust
from cement manufacture is claimed
as a possibility. James d. Rhodes, a
Pittsburgh manufacturer, made the
discovery, and at his own expense has
arranged to erect large experimental
plant adjoining the plant of cement
company at Castalia, O., for the pur-
pose of experimenting for 120 days.
Mr.. Rhodes said he could extract
from the dust and waste of the ce-
ment mills large quantities of potash
for fertilizer that will be of great
benefit to the country in increasing
the supply.

The Social Fabric.

To uphold the social system women
submit to uncOunted tests of their con-
stancy. They endure physical discOm-
fort, ennui, the peril of cold drafts and
damp places, hours of WEAKNESS and
moments of acute annoyance for the
sake of what, to a man, is an unim-
portant social matter. And even
though at times she feels that it would
matter little if the whole social scheme
of things should perjSh-and that in.
stantly with fire and blOodshed if need
be-rather than require SO much Of
her, she stands to her colors.

The Good Done Unto Us.

We speak much Of the duty of do
ing good to others; but too often we
forget to count the good that others
are continually doing to us. Inten-
tionally Or unintentionally, in kind
ness, in selfshness, in carelessness.
they press upon us on every hand, and
our lives are shaped and nodded by
those about us. Even the unreason-
able and congenial-where we fancy
the benefit is all of our bestowing-
may be wonderful teachers of sanity
and patience.

sDo you follow the food regulations,
Charlie, or are they meant for only

TRY New Preventive for Rabies.

The production of a new serum with
which animals and man can be made
immune to rabies may result from ex-
periments recently conducted by a
French scientist. The brain of rab-
bit which had died Of rabies was treat
ed with sulphuric ether and then
mixed with a special preparation,
forming an emulsion. By injecting a
weakened solution of this emulsion I'M
der the skin, immunity to rabies has
been produced which appears to be
both lasting and effective. No bad eff
fects, it is said, result from giving the
injection. The serum has, so far, only
been tried on animals.-Popular Me-

Do You Cooperate With The
Food Administration.

From The Northwestern Miller
Are you cooperating with the
Food Administration because you
: have to or because you want to?
Do you call yourself a loyal
American citizen, anxious for the
speedy triumph Of the American
cause and the success of its brave
soldiers abroad and the welfare
of its fine people at home and yet
dare to hold back and whine and
bubble and say you can't, and
you don't want to or you must
first know the reason why, when
you are called upon to conform
to requirements?
Are you only willing to follow
orders as long as it suits your
convenience, your pocketbook and
your individual views or are you
man enough and American
enough to say: "That which is
best for my country is best for
me? I will follow the call of my
trade; serve as it is demanded
of me; do what is required; stand
fast for the good of the whole, re-
CARELESS of my own apparent in
terests. My country and its needs
first, my business and it's advan-
tage last. Come what may, I
will not falter nor fail in this
hour of trial.
On your answer to such ques-
tons as these will depend your
status in this country now, in the
time of action when each mans
help is needed; later, in the time
of Judgment, when each mans
record is reviewed.
In Gods name, stand up and
don't be a skulker.
