KILLED BY FALLING BARN DOOR
Ezra B. Hook. Retired Farmer, Met
With Fatal Accident Friday.

Ezra B. Hook. a retired farmer of
the Blooming Rose section of this
county, met with a fatal accident on
Friday of last week. when the door on
the barn of his son, Mr.. Quinter Hook.
was blown from its fastenings and fell
upon the elder Mr.. Hook, who was at
tempting to ooen it in order that the
live stock could be liberated from the
building and exercise in the enclosure
surrounding the building.
Mr.. Hook retired from active life
number of wears ago but remained
on the farm which had been purchased
by his son and with whom he made
his home. On Friday Mr.. Hook the
younger was called away from the
farm on business and at or about the
hour of noon the father went out to
the large barn to see about the cattle
stabbed therein. He pushed the barn
door open and it is thought by the
neighbors that in so doing he raised
it from the rollers and a gale of wind
striking it Just then caused it to fall
with much force. catching the unfor-
tunate man beneath it. In falling
Mr.. Hook struck upon pile of snow
and ice and was held in this position
for about two hours or until his plight
was discovered by some of the house
hold when an alarm was sent out over
the telephone and a number of men
living nearby RESPONDED. The door
was raised from the recumbent body
of the man and he was carried into
the home where he spoke few words
and expired. No bones were broken
but a number of bruises of a minor
nature were discovered upon his body,
but these were of such slight conse-
quence that it is believed that death
was fastened by the chill sustained by
Mr.. Hook while held down upon the
ice and snow.
He was a splendid man of many vir-
tues, an ardent churchman and a good
citizen and a particularly warm friend
of The Republican,. His death is sim
cerely mourned by large circle of
friends.

"Breakfast Well Done.

With the coming of cooler wealth
er, cooked cereals again become A
regular part of the breakfast menu
In the average home. 1t is. there
tore, timely for us to bear in mind
the important fact that all cereals
that are prepared in the home
shouId be cooked throughly.
The reason for this is that cereals
are starch and it is well known that
no starch digestion takes place in
the stomach. And as all cooke
cereals require but little mastication
and are therefore swallowed quickly,
they lie for several hours in the
stomach in a practically raw condi-
tlon unless thoroughly cooked. 1t
Is the thorough cooking that breaks
up the starch granules and makes
the cereal readily digestible.
While these facts are important in
so far as the adult is concerned they
are especially important with re-
spect TO the dietary needs of the
child. for cereals are invaluable 10
the boys and girls. They are both
bone and muscle builders-qualitie
that are absolutely essential to the
growing child.
