Fire Destroys
HalloWell Home
With $4,000 Damage

Shortly after four o'clock yester-
dav afternoon an alarm was rung
i'm for a fire on what is known as
the old Peckham place. Winthrop
Hill. the property of the State School
for Girls. The fire, which originated
in the shed, from a cause tnat mas
not been determined, was well I'M
derway Leforc it was observed. Inc
flames spread with terrible rapidity
from the shed to the ell and then
attacked the main house, a solld
structure of old Colonial style, which
offered at first considerable resist
ance. The fire department was soon
on the spot, but because of inade-
auate apparatus and low water pres
sure could do little at first. A pump

making a quick run to the scene OF
action. Connections were then made
with the reservoir and the hill. 1t
was manifestly impossible to save
the house and the attention OF the
department and it's assistants was
centered on keeping the flames un-
der control and preventing the
neighboring houses from catching.
Farewell Hall of the State School
was first threatened. Chemicals be-
longing to the school equipment
were uSCu anu Will a ohilt IA thS
wind the danger was averted. The
houses on the opposite side of the
street, particularly the Sands house.
were in the direct path of the cinders
and brands that fell smouldering on
the shingles and only strenuous work
saved them from destruction.
The house burned to the ground.
1t was valued around three thou
sand dollars and was insured for
two thousand. 1t was occupied by
Henry Quinn, who is in the employ
Of the State School, and his family.
The furniture, the property of the
Quinns, was not insured. Only a
part of it was saved. Mr.. Quinn was
at work somewhere on the school
grounds at the time the fire origi-
mated, and Mrs. Quinn was in Gardi-
ner with one of her small sons. The
There was some anxiety expressed
for him at first, but he was soon
located.
The girls of the school were at q
special meeting. enjoying a picture.
Rev. Mr.. Weber sent word to have
the picture heightened out in pre-
sentation and the girls kept in the
hall, so that they knew nothing of
the fire till it was over and panic
or difficulty was thus avoided. The
fire emphasizes the need of appara-
tus at the school as well as in town.
In his reports Mr.. Weber has
stressed the desirability of such ap-
paratus. and the possibility of join
ing with the town in it's purpose.
The fire was a most spectacular
one, and could be seen for miles
around. Crowds were attracted so
that special traffic officer was de-
tailed at the Warren Winthrop cross
ing. The 'all-out" was sounded
about $50, but the ruins smould-
cred for some time after.

Andrews Moves
To Deal Blow at
TraMcking in Beer

Washington. Nov. 2-(AP)-The tax
ing power of congress was called up
on today by prohibition officials to
aid in checking "the tremendous flood
of high powered beer sweeping the
country"
Lincoln Andrews, assistant secre-
tary of the treasury in charge Of
prohibition enforcement, asked the
house ways and means committee to
include in the new revenue bill a levy
of one cent a gallon on cereal bever-
ages. which would give the govern
ment power to inspect breweries
manufacturing beverages.
Describing high powered" beer as
that which contained an alcoholic
content of from three to five per cent,
M. Andrews said the treasury faced
a real problem in checking the in
creasing and tremendous food" of
this beverage.
In the manufacture of near beer,
brewefies first make regular beer and
then de-alcoholiZe it, he exclaimed,
but unde the present law officials do

Shooting Rays Into a Sick Baby's
Food

ricketts, have been cured by shoot
ing ultraviolet rays into the baby,
either from the sun or from a
quartz lamp. Now science has dis
covered that you can do just as well
by shooting the rays into the baby's
food.
Not all kinds Of food will work. 1t
seems to be necessary to use foods
that contain fat. Milk is all right.
DIR. Benjamin Kramer has treated
milk with ultraviolet light, fed it to
diseased babies and cured ricketts,
thereby. The mechanism is still
mysterious. Evidently the ultra
violet ray does to the food something
of the same sort that it does to the
baby. This something cures the
ricketts,. There are guesses as to
what this something is,-perhaps
some modification of the atoms in
the fatty materials,-but.a as yet. the
guesses are mostly baseless. About
the facts, surprising as they are,
there can be no question. Several
competent physiologists have verified
them.-E. E. Free in The Forum.

Portland, Makes
Answer to Charges

Portland, Me, Nov. 2-(AP)-
Mrs. Matte Crawford, against whom
an unfavorable report was filed to-
day at Bangor by a committee of the
Ministers Association of that city
opened a series of largely attended
revival meetings in city hall auditor
ium last Sunday. During the week
they were transferred to Exposition
building.
while these pharisaical preachers,
who are not interested in God nor the
bible, are busying themselves fight
ing His work, we are preaching the
gospel to thousands and they are re-
ceiving Gods blessing thereby" was
Mrs. Crawford's challenge when in
formed of the report.
She said she had been a member
of the Baptist church more than Is
years, but never had advanced the
claim that she was an ordained Bap-
fist minister.
Il am sure the thousands of won-
derful testimonials we have of mir
aculous cures of the blind, the deaf.
the dumb and the crippled from all
over the state and the surrounding
country will offset their report" she

critics agree that for sheer beauty
'Romola" excels anything ever seen

now universally recognized as the
greatest genius of the acting world,
again worked under the direction of
Henry King, who made THE White

again she has as her leading man the
magnetic Ronald Colman.
Lillian and Dorothy Gish have not
appeared together since Orphans of

in "Romola" is a screen event that
every fan has been hungry for. They
help make "Romola," not only one of

The cheering squad for Gardiner
High at the Hallowell game Saturday
afternoon was rather conspicuous by
it's absence, and if more spirit is not
manifested next Saturday afternoon
the prospects for the Cony game look
somewhat drear. In contrast to the
few girl students led by poppy girl
cheer leader, who cheered weakly 1T
intervals, the Hallowell contingent
brought down a loyal band which
gave loud connected cheering at
every possible chance. The Gardiner
cheering squad, no matter how en-
thusiastic are the girls must be COM
posed of the boys, who should remain
in a body with the girls instead of
following the play, for it is recogniz-
ed everywhere that the cheering at
proper times means a great deal 10
school. A rally will be held before
the Cony game, and this should pro-
duce some enthusiasm.
