FIRE LOSSES IN CONN. SHOWING BIG DECLINE
Analysts Shows That Dwellings in State Now Are Valued at Over
 SS17 100000.

Washington. Jan. 10 P>-Exam- nation of the fire losses of all states being conducted by building en- gineors of the National Lumber Manufacturers association, shows that Connecticut's annual fire losses in recent years, as compared with the increase of the states burnable wealth. have decreased sharply since 1910.
 In that year. there was q total of about 602 million dollars worth of buildings, merchandise. autom obiles, livestock and other items subject 10 destruction by fire. The fire loss for that year is estimated to have been s2,Go0,000, or s4.32 per thousand.
 In 1916, the total burnable wealth had increased to 1O7S millions. and in 1923 to 1908 millions. The an- nual losses are given as s3,S69,00O and s5,434,000 for these years, or o3.1S and S3.SS per thousand respec- lively.
 The loss from year to year varies according to the number of large fires, which in small state may cause sixty to eighty per cent of the years loss.
 The analysis incidentally, revealed that dwellings in the state have in creased in value from $500, ,000 in 1910 to 7,000,0O0 in 1924, and outbuildings from s9,000,000 to s56,- 00O,000. That most of this latter increase took the form of private garages is evident from the increase in value of vehicles. This item grew from sS,000,000, mostly In wagons and carriages in 1910. to s5S,000,000 practically all automobiles. in 1924.

A u T u Nj N
BY ID. c. PEATTIE.

| In the dry woods, in early Autumn,
there blooms a flower singularly COM
mon, singularly overlooked 1t Is
strange that a wild flower must be
| positively gaudy in order to attract
the attention of most people. Our
tastes are jaded by the sophistries OF
modern gardening and its gorgeous
| hybrids. Still, it is curious that so
| few people notice the lions foot, which
| takes its name from the great lower
| leaves that resemble, if your imagina-
ton is powerful, the impress of some
mighty quadruped'S passing.
Never having seen lions tracks. l
cannot vouch for the closeness of the
resemblance. But the flowers them
selves are lovely things, in soft shades
of greenish mauve and purplish green.
Each flower is like tiny dropping bell,
and the whole plant is covered with a
sort of blush or purplish bloom upon
its gentle greenery. In short, it is as
lovely an Autumn woodland plant as
we possess, excepting only the asters
and the golden rod and gentians.
The lions foot belongs to the great
composite family, of which / write so
often, never failing in it's interest. But
where the aSter and the daisy belong
to that branch of the family having a
center and rays, the lions foot is kin
unto the chicory and the dandelion, in
which the whole head is mass of
rays, with no eye or central disk. This
branch of the family is commoner in
Europe than in this part of the world,
and most of those We see here are Old
World weeds. The lions foot, however.
is native and a harmless one, with
out a trace of weedy habits.
When the leaves rain down and the
pewees call in the turning woods, then
the lions foot will lose it's flowers, and
in their places will come the white and
tawny down-the lions name, perhaps
that, like thistle-down and dandelion-
down, will bear the potent seeds away

Minerals in Foods.

Speaking of the high cellulose value
of certain foods. here is a list of some
other foods which contain still other
valuable mineral salts or mineral mat
ter.
The properly balanced diet. to give
good health and the perfect complex
ion we all ought to possess, contains
fats and carbohydrates sugars and
starches, that isl as we'll as protein.
At least Is per cent of the food you
eat should be protein-that is, Is per
cent of the total calories Of food
should be protein.
Besides all these things, the body
needs a certain amount of mineral
matter and salts. Some few people
have diseases which call for a salt
free diet. These are. indeed. un-
fortunate, for their food is dull. Iron
needed for the body, especially valu.
able for giving color to the hair, by
the way. is found in lettuce, spinach.
aspara gus. yolks of eggs, peas. beans
and meat. Calcium is found in car
rots good for the skim, string beans,
rhubarb, cheese, Cauliflower. milk,
oranges and lemons. Oatmeal, let

tomatoes, peas and beans contain
phosphorus.
Have you any favorite foods here?
You can see how valuable lettuce and
spinach are. They were in the cellu-
