Danger From Rubbish Fires.

The state fire marshal of Indiana has issued ;
set Of instructions regarding the burning of trasy
with view Of reducing the number of serious fire,
that result from carelessness in this connection Herr
they are:
Burn your rubbish at a safe distance from
fences sheds, barns and other property
Don't burn trash windy day. as sparks
and brands may be blown to the roofs of
surrounding buildings and cause fires.
When burning trash. always keep someone
on guard to see that fire is not allowed to
spread to other property
Observe carefully local ordinances regu-
lating the distance from buildings that bonfres
may be built, the time Of day they are per- ,
mitted, etc.
Do not permit children to play about the
fires In Indiana last year more than ten chill
dren were burned to death while playing about
bonfres.
Remember that through your carelessness
valuable property may be destroyed Con-
hsgrations have started from little bonires
Save lives and property by the exercise of the
greatest caution.
1t ought not be necessary to repeat such obvious
precautions for the benefit OF grown up people but
the total losses in every state annually because of
disregard of these rules indicates that publicity has
not been overdone.

A DESPERATE ASSET,
BY Vincent Wray Turner.

"I cannot tell you what 1 can
realize from this note until I have
Investigated" spoke John Taylor,
attorney.
His innocent-faced, anxious-eyed
client hung upon his words with
keen suspense. She was in full
view of a well-dressed, rather grave
faced man who sat in the next
room, but who could see beyond the
open doorway-Ernest Moore.
You see, sir" spoke the young
girl, "the money would mean a
good deal to us just now. Father
lost all he had five years ago and
l earn little as a typist.'
please leave name and address
and l will write you the result of
my efforts" directed Taylor, and
his caller wrote on a card, Miss
Gladys Waller, PIT Holt street"
She was nervous and embarrass-
ed and as she crossed the thres-
hold the little handbag she carried
fell from her clasp. Moore was on
his feet in an instant, recovered the
bag and handed it to her.
Moore glanced at the card and
memorized the name and address.
He was not a romantic man, but
he was sympathetic.
He listened only casually to Law
yer Taylor as the latter went over
some business regarding invest
ments. Two days later he again ap-
peared at the office OF the lawyer.

AUTOINTOXICATI0N

Administration means self
poisoning.
Involuntary, of course. But
mostly avoidable.
l find l owe my readers an apol-
ogy. Somehow or other l have
led some of them to believe that
standardization is a disease or a
definite condition which, once dag
nosed, responds to a certain cut
and-dried system or regimen. AL
though / have never made any
such assertion, 1t must be that in
the occasional use of the word au-
tointoxication / have nevertheless
given such an impression. For
frequently correspondents write
to say they have it and l will kind
ly suggest the proper treatment,
diet or exercise to cure II.
Autointoxication is part and par
Gel of most ailments. Given any
disturbance in which various elm
mating organs are temporarily OF
permanently inactive, and one re-
suit is intoxication by the retain
ed waste matter. AS a rule, how
ever, when the word autointoxica-
ton is used we think of the the
oretical unpleasant results of re-
tention of some substance or sub
stances which ought to be elimi-
mated or destroyed in the intes-
tine but isn't. l say theoretical,
because as a matter of fact the
theory of autointoxication is not
founded upon established scienti-
fic fact at all, though we have a
certain amount of positive scien-
tific evidence to support the the
DRY.
In any event, it is an error to
imagine that there is some method
of treatment applicable in the av-
erage case in which autointoxica-
ton happens to be a feature, for
the obvious reason that it is a feat
ture, like pain or that tired feel
ing. or anemia, or nervousness or
stomach trouble, of so many vast
ly different ailments.
