and unprejudiced justice at 20 shillings. Here is

How Water Actually Caused a Fire

A FIRE which was somewhat unusual in its
N origin occurred in dwelling house in Eng
land, says a writer in an English paper. It
started in the frebox containing the fuses for
the various lighting circuits in the home. The
box was attached to the kitchen wall, and imme-
diately above it ran the two pipes supplying the
hot-water system. When the kitchen fire
out the water in these pipes was, Of course, cold,
so that they acted as a surface condenser on the
kitchen atmosphere, and a steady drip of con-
densed water took place down the kitchen wall.
The pipes were whitewashed, and the con-
densed water in consequence carried with it
certain amount Of calcium carbonate, which de-
stroyed the rubber insulation of the conductors at
the point where they passed from the metal tubes
in the wall into the fusebox. In turn the copper

holding the Shantung peninsula.
The position of the Ohio Sena-

the United States Senate from

the United States from partici-

The directors of the Columbia
Fair Association should be con-
graduated upon the splendid ex-
hibition given last week. Judg-
ing from the crowds that were
daily in attendance, is an evil
dence that the people of Adair
and adjoining counties were ripe
for a fair. They came from all
sections, and the little disturb
ances that occurred are not large
enough to mention. Taking ev-
erything into consideration the
great mass of people were ex-
eeedingly orderly, showing that
they were very much interested
in the program. There were
many hotly contested rings, but
the losers submitted without a
murmur, as they should. A
Judge acts upon his best judg-
ment, and when a decision has
been made, mum should be the
word, and as we intimsted above
there was no room for kicking.
We heard a number of men
speaking during the days and
they were all in high glee over
the manner in which the Asso-
citation was conducting the meet.

ment wanted and we are salts

for their respective homes in a
happy frame of mind, and will
be ready to return next year.

~ Attention Druggists.

Louisville, KY, September g.
Supplementing a recent opinion
in which he held that druggists
who sell patent medicines that
have been advertished from wa.
gons in the street, the adverti-
sers naming the druggists from
whom the nostrums could be OBJ
tanned, are subject to prosecu-
ton. Elwood Hamilton, attorney
for the State Board of Health,
now has handed DR.. A. T. Nc
Cormack, State Health officer,
another opinion in which he says
that the person advertising the
nostrums from the wagon also is
subject to prosecution.
This opinion is based on the
law which states that vendors of
patent medicines mnst pay $1O0
for their licenses and then pro-
ceeds to strengthen this by de-
claring that it is immaterial
whether the patent medicine is
sold by the vendor or otherwise.
Such a sale," Mr.. Hamilton
summed the situation up, would
undoubtedly subject the person
advertising the medicines from
the wagon to a penalty for fail
ure to procure a license before
making the sale."
In this connection the Ken
lucky Druggist, the official
organ of the Kentucky Pharma-
,eutial Association, contains this
editorial comment:
1.-The writer agrees with DR.
Nc Cormack that no reputable
lruggist would be a party to any
