NEEDFIRE OLD FOLK CUSTOM |
Part of the Ritual of Publication That
Has Survived In Scotland Until
Recently.

In folk custom, needfire Is fire kin
died by friction of two sticks of wood
or of a rope on a wooden stake to
ward off demons of disease. Among the
many customs and beliefs connected
with fire one of the most important is
that Of ritual publication. The new
fire is supposed to regenerate, as fire
sacrifice Is designed to sustain, the
invisible beings. Needfire Is prac-
tice, usually, Of shepherd peoples to
ward off disease from the fiocks. In
historic times the sparks for kindling
the needfire were obtained by twirling
wooden peg around wooden post.
AS In the case of new fire, the need
fire was almost always accompanied
with the extinguishing Of the fires Of
the locality, and the neighbors also
rekindled their fires from 1t as in the
new fire ceremony. In practice, the
people passed, or the herds were driv-
en- through or between the flames Of
the needfire for publication. The need
fire custom survived in the highlands
Of Scotland until recent date, and
probably traces of this superstition
still exist in parts Of Europe.

kidneys acted normally. I could sleep

fore. certainly advise anyone suffer-
Ing from kidney disorders to use the
Anuric Tablets."--Mrs. Louise Gilfl-
Ian, $50 State st.
The kidneys and bladder suffer from
the wear and tear and we get chronic
infiammatiens sometimes indicated by
backache, painful voiding of water
dull, heavy feelings. Perhaps the uric
acid is stored up in the system In
excessive amount, and consequently
when the urate salts are deposited In
muscles and joints one suffers from
lumbago (pain in back) rheumatic
pains, govt, etc.
Nothing will act so nicely as ANU
ric" (anti-uric-acid), a recent discovery
of DIR. Pierce's which can be had 1T all
drug stores. "Anuric" washes away the
poisons, cleanses the bladder and kier
neys-rendering them antiseptic-con-
sequently one is soon cured of lum-
bago, rheumatism, govt, and the body
is put into clean, healthy state.

| TIRED OF HIS LITTLE SPREE
Runaway" Canary Glad to Be Back
In the Comfort and Safety
of His Home.

Mrs. Robert Tomlinson of Martins
Vile has a canary that answers to
the name Of Woody, relates the Indi-
annapolis News. Last fall the bird es-
capped from the cage and flew away.
Immediately the whole town was
asked to keep Its figurative eye on
Woody. He was reported here and
there, feeding with the town sparrows.
Mrs. B. would call up and say that she
had seen him, but by the time his
owner came he was gone.
For a whole month Woody cavorted
around with the pests of the neighbour
hood. Then dark, rainy days began
to dawn. Still Woody stayed with the
sparrows. A neighbor called Up from
the other side Of the town one day
and said that Woody was sitting
around In her trees, the very picture
of despair. There is little doubt that
he was thinking Of his warm cage
at home. SO his owner hied herself
over to the spot and hung his cage
In one Of the trees. Then she went
In to gossip. The rain continued to
fall and presently Woody hoped into
his cage and the tragedy was over,
for that night he had his regular warm
spot In the dining room.

amusing structure on member Of the

shady reputation. The subject Of the
structure had a double-barreled name
which we will call Jones-Smithson
