Sparks from Engine
Set Fire Which Calls
Firemen Out Twice

A fire which apparently caught
from sparks from an engine Of the
Maine Central Railroad company
called the apparatus from the Hart
ford Fire station to the property Of
Frank Morton on Riverside drive on
two occasions Saturday afternoon.
The first call was received at ITO
Saturday noon and the chemical
tuck responded. When the men got
there they found the flames feeding
in some woods near the railroad en-
bankment. They worked hard to ex-
tinguish the blaze and believing thar
they had completely done for the fire
returned to the station, only to get
the second call at three o'clock. on
the second trip several men went out
and found that some unseen spark
had been famed by the wind and
the blaze had crept into the fields
nearby. After considerable hard
work the fire was at last extinguish-
ed. although not until 1t had burned
over a large .plot of ground and had
reached the main road.

Driver Runs Away, Is
Caught and COnfesses

Elias Lyons the so year old man
who on Saturday was struck by an
automobile as he was walking on the
Belgrade road was reported Sunday
evening as having regained conscious
ness Sunday and being apparently in
better condition than he was Satur-
day. Randall E. Coombs of Bath who
was later picked up at Pittsfield
driving Studebaker Special touring
car. which was thought to have caus-
ed the accident, voluntarily confessed,
Chief Field of the State Highway Po-
lice stated Sunday night. Coombs
stated that he had applied the brakes
to his car but that Lyons stepped in
front of 1t and was hit. Coombs be-
came panic stricken and feared to
remain and take the consequences of
the accident. SO hurried from the
scene of the accident.
Leo Tolman, driver of the Triangle
bus which plies between Augusta and
Pennington was behind the car and
discovered the injured man. although
he did not see the accident. Believ-
ing that he might apprehend the driv-
err of the car and having no passen-
gers at that time he followed along
but soon gave up the chase as he did
not care to exceed the speed limit
which he would be forced to do. He
gave a description of the car which
was of a maroon color and of the
driver who wore a yellow 'jerkin"
coat and this description was at once
given to the various cities and towns
nearby.
Deputy Sheriff Brooks of Pittsfield,
shortly after receiving the description
detained Coombs until Highway OFF,
Ger Sidney Frost Of Waterville, COW
ering the case. could reach Pittsfield.
Coombs was later brought to this
city and gave bonds for his appear
ance at the municipal court this
morning. Some irregularity was also
found in the registration of his auto
mobile, the number 34-91S which was
on the car being registered as an
Oldsmobile.

Careful housewives constantly make
1t a point to ascertain the quality of
each item that goes on their tables
Preparing food for the family Is an
extremely important job, for the prop
er selection and preparation of foods
make in a large, measure for the health
and happiness of the family.
Milk Is the most nearly perfect food,
but 1t is very delicate one as well.
The keeping qualities OF milk are
slight. Danger from contamination Is
ever present. Evaporated milk, which
is double rich because of the removal
of 60 per cent Of the water, is sciences
solution to these conditions.
Safeguarding evaporated milk is
worked out as perfectly as mans IN
genuity has been able to make the
process. From COW TO can, the milk
which goes into the evaporated prod
uct is watched every step of the way.

Cows of the dairy herds are guarded
with constant care and are subjected
TO regular inspections by veterinary
surgeons. Herds are carefully groomed,
and their yards and barns are kept
serupulously clean, as are all utensils.
Milk condenseries are located in the
heart of the big dairy regions to facili-
tate speedy handling, for this is es-
sential If the milk is to be canned at
tits moment of maturity" Canvas
covered trucks haul the milk to mar
ket, thus protecting the product from
contamination on the way. Arriving
at the condensery, the milk goes
through tests for acidity, sediment,
flavor and butterfat content before 1t
is accepted
Experts watch the progress of the
milk through every step Of its way.
1t goes into the eyaporating machine;
to the homogenizer, which breaks up
the fat globules so that the milk may
be easily digested by the consumer: :
by way of the almost human filling
machine into steriized cans then into
the sterilizer, where the cans are-sur-
rounded by steam and boiling water,
destroying any possible bacteria. In
spectors handle the product as the
last step to sea that the canning Job
has been perfectly done. Labelling
and packing follow. The housewife
obtains the milk as fresh and sweet as
when 1t came from the COW.

A quart of milk day for adults Is
recommended by doctors not only De-
cause of its high mineral content, bur
for the reasons that It helps keep the
digestive tract In proper condition,
strengthens the body to resist disease,
and gives proper balance to the diet
Salads also play an important part
In the dietary. Some sort of a salad.
lettuce, tomato, fresh fruit, cabbage
or vegetable, should be eaten at least
once a day. Neither is the daily
menu complete without a generous
quality of coarse, leafy vegetables,
valuable for their high vitamin con-
tent. Fruit juices also have very
beneficial properties.
If a woman follows out the rules of
diet, birthdays to her will be nothing
