Fire Last Week.

Mrs. G. E. Trevathan's residence
on Ury street was badly wrecked by
fire last week. Fire broke out Thurs
day afternoon from some unknown
cause, and before the fighters could
get a good chance at it the flames
had spread all over the building.
The dining room, kitchen, pantry,
bath room, two halls and two bed
rooms we're visited by the flames and
everything in them was ruined. Fire
spread to the back porch and dam
aged some wire. Mrs. Trevathan had
an insurance policy on the house for
$1,000 and $4O0 on the contents.
She will probably make some re-
pairs when the settlement is made.

How Health In
surdnce Works
BY WOODS HUTCHINSON. NJ. d.

The methods Of reaching the same
health victory for a whole nation
at home as for an army abroad are
two-fold. First. the providing OF
fund which will insure first-clas IS
medical attendance and hospital care
wherever needed. for every mem Der
of the community who falls sick.
Second, a more effective and intelli-
gent distribution OF the working
force and skill Of the medical and
nursing professions.
And as Of course the most crying
need for better and more adequate
medical attention and sick care is
among the great working masses of
the community. anywhere from 65
TO So percent Of it. all OF the schemes
proposed for adequate health insur-
ance or sickness insurance deal chief
ly with this working class.
The methods of health insurance
which are now in force and have
been for from 1--WE 70 twenty years
past in something like half the
countries OF Europe. notably Eng
land. Holland. Sweden, Belgium and
Germany, provide, first of all. for
the collection of a small weekly pre-
MUM or rather set OF premiums for
each worker whose income or wages
are below a certain fixed amount per
week. usually about % shillings a
week in England, or 20 marks a
week as in Germany, which would
be the practical equivalent Of about
SIS a week here.

willed otherwise.

Marshall bowed over the hand she

Memorial of our soldiers of the

As the Library was suggested and
started by Civil War Veteran, Rev.

building and having a room or rooms
in it set aside for the record of all

rounded by all the care that loving
hands coeld give, Arba Lyle Bradley
son of Mr.. and Mrs. John Bradley,
passed from this life December 8, 1918
aged seventeen years, five months and
fourteen days.
Arba was a thoughtful, obedient
and loving son, and was a great COM

looking after the interests Of others
and even in the last hours of his
severe suffering he was cautioning his
mother and brother to be very careful
realizing the seriousness of the di-
sease.
F, He loved to attend the church and
Sunday school and sought to exem-
plify by his life the things he learn
ed there. He was a member of the
Senior class of the Paw Paw High
school, and was a good student, look
ing forward with much pride to his
graduation next June.
On the morning of his death he

To rise upon some fairer shore,

He bears it to that world of light
To dwell in Paradise"

which was very interesting to me, and
Z am sure it would have been the
same to you. | felt sorry for the
people whose homes were torn and

my heart aches far more for Belgium
and her people, as | have seen and
noticed a great many things already

Try among strange people. | know
will like these people more than
lid the French, as they are different
IN many ways from the average
French. I will relate a few things
saw yesterday when we were on the
march. There were many small
groups of Belgium people who were
walking to some town or village in
which no doubt was their home or
workshop before the Germans came.
They carried small bundles on their
backs and shoulders, in which no
doubt were food and clothes, and their
furniture will follow later on. Then
rhere was one grey haired man about
sixty or seventy years DID, that was
pushing his wheelbarrow loaded down
with a table and three chairs, sure
Ditied him. Then again l saw a man
and boy about thirteen years, who
We're fixing up their home. The man
was laying tile on the roof and the
BOY was putting cement and brick in
large hole where a shell had made
ITS way through. All of these people
nave smile and a CHEEKY word for
all Of us, and that makes me like
them all the more. If you could only
ne here, you would see the oxen pull
ing the plows in the fields. These
people sure go after work.
Last, but not least, | wish to thank
you many times for having the

when you answer to give me the
