10000 TONS OF
ICE DESTROYED IN
ICEDALE BLAZE
Storage Plant Of Diamond Co.
Completely Destroyed
Last Night.
ENTIRE WINTER CROP GONE

Thirty thousand tons Of ice. stored for
the use Of the inhabitants Of Wilmington,
were DESTROYED and two blocks Of build
lngs, the property of the Diamond Ice and
Coal Co, at Ieedale Pa, were wrecked
by fire last night. The money loss Is esti-
mated at 500 900, and. while it IS covered
by insurance, that does not restore the ice.
However, while the loss of 50 much ice
is a serious item, it will not affect Viii
rnington Immediately as the company
has been able TO buy more ice already and
Is negotiating for an additional supply and
additional housing facilities. What the
ultimate result NAV be Is problematical
IN view of the cost and scarcity Of am
monla, which enters into the manufacture
OF ice
The ice destroyed in last nights FIRE
represented the entire winter crop har-
vested by the company from the Brandy
wine at Icedale. which Is - miles north
of Wilmington on the Reading railroad.
The company had It's two large storage
buildings there. each about 800 feet
square and 20 feet high. filled 70 capacity,
and the ice, because OF the severe winter,
was the best harvested for number OF
years.
ORIGIN OF THE FIRE UNKNOWN.
The origin OF the FIRE IS unknown
II may have been caused by spontaneous
combustion, by a spark from a locomotive,
which was shifting on track between
the two buildings at about clock.
The blaze Was discovered at about S.
Officers of the company will advance no
theory The buildings were frame.
As soon as the fire was discovered help
was summoned from Coatesvllle, Pa,
short distance away, which sent engines
and helped to save heavy buildings, but
it was impossible TO save the storage
houses or prevent destruction of the ice.
Word was sent 10 the company's office
here, and several officers Immediately
responded and spent the night there,
trying TO save something. Those IN the
party from here included Wilmer Strad-
ley, the president; Charles Stradley,
manager; f. w Hall, treasurer; and
several others
Upon his return from lcedale, this
morning, President Stradley said every
thing VAS being done to overcome the loss
aud he thought there was no need of
alarm over the local ice situation. The
company Is manufacturing ice here, as
usual and it has some IN storage Hav-
ing bought a supply today, and with
prospects of buying more, the outlook,
as far rs the community Is concerned,
Is quite encouraging The company
Will not be able To make II definite state
ment, however, until negotiations now
IN progress have been completed

YOUR HEALTH
Malarial Poisoning No. /.
By ANDREW F. CURRIER, ND.

The old idea that malarial fever
or malarial poisoning was due to
bad air, has been exploded by the
Investigations of Laveran, Reed,
Gorgas and others.
Malarial fever, when we'll
marked, has chill, fever and sweat
ing in succession every day, every
second day, or every third day.
Besides, there may be attacks at
irregular intervals or with only
dull, unpleasant feelings, especially
when the patients resisting powers
are good, or the poison mild.
Malarial poisoning is not due TO
bad air, but to infectious parasites,
called plGsmodjd, In the blood
stream.
They are introduced into the
body by means Of the bite Of mos
quitoes of the AnOpheles variety,
and attack and destroy the red cor
puscles Of the blood.
Layeran discovered them in 1882.
Malarial fever is a tropical disease,
but occurs wherever there are mos
quitoes of the AnOpheIes breed, in
swamps, forests, lowlands, and
wherever conditions favor the de-
velopment of mosquitoes
They are found in cold climates
like Alaska, but we do not usually
associate them with cold climates
and high latitudes.
The Isthmus of Panama was the
most mosquito-ridden country in
the world, and its malaria would
take the prize for severity and fa-
tality, but it was drained, cleaned
up and freed from mosquitoes by
Gorgas and is now as healthy as
any other part Of the U. s., which
shows that malaria can be- con-
trolled.
Some people still believe II Is
caused by drinking water contami-
mated by infectious germs or by
breathing infected air.
1t attacks light skinned people
in preference to dark, and men
rather than women. and also those
