Fire in Home Burns Itself Out.
?Me fine home of Mir. Hi 'W. Doerr
on Main Street, had a close call from
being gutted by fire on 1VLoriday af-
ternoon. When• the fire alarms sounded
in connection with the fire on the
property of Miss Tom, Mir. Doerr was
in the act of cleaning a coal oil stove.
He left the house hurriedly for' the
power plant at the river in order to
start the water pump. When he re-
turned he found that he had left the
oil store burning and 'that it had be-
gun to smoke and started a fire in
the kitchen but fortunately through
the lack of air the fire had 'burnt it-
self out. When Mr. Doerr opened the
kitchen door he was -met with a 'vol-
ume of srm'oke which poured forth.
The woodwork in the kitchen was
badly charred as well as a couple of
doors and a stairway. The paper on
the ceiling was burned. Fortunately
the doors had been all closed and the
thick smoke from the 'stove smother-
ed the flames for had there been any
ventilation the flames would no'doulbt
have gained considerable headway.
The damage is covered by insurance.

A Devoted Gobbler.
Something which is surely. unique
in poultry raising is reported 'by Roy
Wheeler, 2nd line, Erin. Mr. Wheeler
had this spring procured three tur-
keys, two hens and • a tom.. The' two
females laid fifteen eggs, and then,
erolb'ably coming to the conclusion
that their duties were fulfilled, wand-
ered away and were seen no more.
Bravely stepping in the 'breach, as it
were, the gobbler' 'sat upon the nest
if fifteen eggs and just the other
clay, hatched out thirteen young tur-
keys. Surely this devoted bird de-
serves a meed'al.—Mitchell Advocate,

Care of the Strawberry
. Plantation After Fruiting
What to do with a strawberry plan-
tation after it has over fruited is a
question frequently asked.
It is not :possible to answer this
question in any rule of thumb way;
a great deal depends upon the Aondi-
tioh of the plantation. If the planta-
tion is full of weeds, like couch grass
or if it is very patchysit is better to
plough it up. If, on the other hand,
it is a well vined plantation, reason-
ably ifree of weeds, it may pay to
practice renovation.
Renovation is accgnaplished in dif-
ferent ways but it should be remem-
bered that the strawberry plant is
not really a true Perennial and must
be permitted to renew itself by the
formation of new runners or the
formation of a new crown with a new
root system. If the old plantation is
left without attention the plants are
liable to be'so crowded that such a
renewal will be difficult. It is gener-
ally advisable therefore to cut down
the rows to a narrow width and ire
doing this the best way is to split
the rote in the centre leaving one
outside edge .to form new runners.
The outslid•e edges contain• the young-
est plants and .these generally form
n.ew- runners very rapidly. This re-
novating should be 'done as soon as
the.• crap has been rem;o,ved. After
enlitting the rows in two, remove the
plants that have been ploughed tlp
and cultivate between the -stows th•or
oughly, hand weed the narrow strip
of plants that are left and unless the
land is in eRcellent tilth apply a
dressing of about fifty 'pounds of nit-
rate of. soda quer acre between the
rows. 7f cultivation is continued
throughout the 'balance of the season
a frill stand of plants should be ob-
tained by autumn and a good crop of
fruit the following season.

and their other hangouts, Dimond ex-
plained. "They are big spenders, and
the money flits through their fingers
almost as fast as acquired, even fast-

Household Discoveries
When you find a small hole in any
kitchen utensil of •aluminum, tin or
granite, insert the flat part of a com-
mon dome, fastener on the inside of
the article. Press it well into the hole
and put the other half of fastener
on the outside of •the utensil Now
place a flatiron or other iron article
on the inside of utensil, pressing it
1 a•gafns•t the fastener. Pound the 'out-
side half down with a hammer. Your
pan will be as good as new. I have
used an aluminum dish for a mixing
'bawl for over a year •since I fived
the hole in it in this manner. A gran-
ite pail• and a granite wash basin
mended in .the same way have given
many' months. of use.

• Rust on Stoves.
This hint is for folks who are now
opening their summer' cottages. Very
often you will find that your oil stove
has become rusty. Apply some lin-
seed oil with a damp cloth, and sand-
paper the remaining spots.
.. Sewing Hinta,,r,,.
When you wish to stamp the pat-
tern of a flower, rabbit, kitten or
other decoration on baby's rompers,
and find that you are without carbon
paper, place the pattern on the ma-
terial, and machine stitch the outline,
first removing the thread from the
sewing machine needle, and stepping
the bobbin. The pattern will be .trac-
ed perfectly and is easily worked.

In Your Refrigerator. •
1Vhen you wish to set a dish di-
rectly on the ice,. put a rubber jar
ring between the dish and the ice.
Both will adhere to the ice, thus a-
voiding the , danger of •spilling the

Tourists Being Swindled
, By Paris Confidenee Men
The searing of American tourist
Iambs by international confidence
nv;•n is proceeding merrily along this
season to the tune of gurgling Paris
wines. -
"There's a new crop' of rich as the
result of .Roosevelt booms, and they
and their families are Mighty easy
pickings," was the statement recent-
ly of Thomas P. Dimond, who came
to Paris on the trail of several inter.
nationally known •crinrina.ls.
IDimond is ,attached to the rose-
cutor's office of Essex count New
Jersey, and specializes on "conmen."
"Paris is their haven," he said, "and
they are alble to ply their nefarious
trade a'lm'ost unsruolested for two
principal reasons.
"First, their victims are as often
as not unwilling or unable to pvsh
their accusations. If they are just
`small fry,' these victims cannot stay
over in Europe long. 'It's too expen-
sive. By the time the case comes up
they are back in some small town or
some city in America.
"Also, with the reduced budgets
for police and detective departments
everywhere in America,. it is only in
rare instances that the hmne cities
Trill apportion the really large a-
mount of -money it takes to extradite
one of these crooks."
Crooks Get Millions..
But this is a narrow -sighted policy,
according to Diasond, because• al-
thoug'''h police and dreterctivle forces
in the United States might be able
to save some hundredls of thousands
ofdol'lars a year byn
t prosecuting
crooks who .escape to foreign coun-
triels, - the American public pays out
of its .packet $14,000,000 in a year
to these "confidence men," who ,ply

CATHARTICS
If all the catharti; s which are us-

we weu•ld have a fair-sized hill-. There
are' some . individuals who use cath-

ers, and the minority who seldom, if
ever, have irecou9se to thelmt.
The use of cathartics can be at-
tributed, first of all, to a rather gen-
eral belief that failure to secure a
free @owed movement at the eacpect-
ed time is responsible for many ills
and is a real menace to the individ-
ual. The extremist believes in a bowel
mov'em'ent after each meal, the, more
moderate favor a regular daily
evacuation, and the conservative ac-
cept the irregular or infrequent neve

of life --eat'in'g. sleeping and elimina-
tion. This is a general statement and
does not conflict with the fact that
certain individuals who are appar-
ently in good hcaIth do not have such
regularity in their habits..
Perhaps the most important means
of developing regularity and of a-
.oiding constipation is to adhere
strictly to a regular tin*. The visit
to the toilet should newer be•deferred,
irrespective of the lack of any urge
at the time. It is this regularity in
hahit which keeps the 'bowel regular
and which practically obviates any
necessity for further attention. • •
Regularity can be assisted by pro -
pc diet, including the use of suf-
ficient fluids, and by exercise or other
physical activity, particularly of the
type which brings the large muscles
of the abdomen into play.
The use of cathartics indicates fail-
ure to follow the above rules, or sug-
gests that we have thrown the ma-
chinery- ofn digestion out of order 'by -
overloading it or be abusing it with
an undue amount or the 'wrong kinds
of foods.
It should be pointed out that just
as long as we rely upon' cathartics.
we will continue to be constipated, in
that normal evacuation will not oc-
cur. It should also be realized that
cathartics may do very serious harm
if they are used for abdominal pain
which may he the result of some ab-
normal condition, such as an inflamed
appendix. It is safer and more »refer-
able, in all ways, to secure elimina-
tion through habit, diet and exercise,
and to avoid the use of cathartics.
Rearing Pullets
Pullets must be well grown and
healthy when put in laying quarters,
if heavy egg production during the
fall and winter m'on•t'hs is to be ex-
pected. In order to secure the kind
of pullets required, careful attention
should be given to rearing 'them.
There Ls evidence to ,show that
there is a correlation between size of
egg and body weight. If pullets are
allowed to cominience production be-
fore they are well grown, their growth
may be retarded and they may lay
smeller egg's than, if they were al-
lowed to become more mature before
coming into production-
Qnternal parasites have an import-
ant bearing on bnortality and the
general health of the flack. These cam
be controlled to a large extent by
practising sanitary measures during
the incubation .and growing period of
the flock.
At the Fredericton Experimental
Station, the chickens are given clean
clover yards as soon as possible and
the pullets are separated from the
cockerels shortly after the sexes can
be distingu'ish'ed. At about twelve
weeks of age, they are put on grass
or preferably clover ground where

Real Kick in "Beer"
' Brewed By Eskimos
Eskimos take the prize for putting
a real ",kick" in beer, according to a

who , has be, n given samples of' a,

The official said it was the hnost'

long and varied- experience in many`
parts of the British Empire.
News frown northern Labrador is
scarce during the winter, but with
the opening up of navigation many
strange stories came to St. John's

'The earliest letters this summer
state that the local police were busy
during the winter destroying supplies
of native beer, a beverage that was
having a bad effect on the Eskimos

the United States. In the midst of
the sand dunes, gravel, and saline
deposits of • the desert is an oasis,
Furnace ('re,ek Rancjh, , where Pana-
mint Indianse cultivate oranges, gar -
dial vegetables, corn and alfalfa. Nor
is the valley itself .hare of plant life.
The cactus, grease -hush, yucca palms,
chuckwalla, and other odd; flora help
create a unique landscape. And to
spring the ground is carpeted with
wild flowers of • rare • beauty and
color.
For years the history of the val-
ley has aroused the curiosity of trav-
ellers. Prehistoric races left their
cryptic pictographs to puzzle future
inhabitants. The Piute Indians were
familiar with the valley, and the
"Forty-niners" in their long trek to
California traversed it. In fact, the
name "Death Valley" was derived
from the party of 'fortune rekers
who were lost and .peri•shed in this
waterless waste. Later carne the pros-
pectors, who found 'borax • and de-
veloped urines and fortunes, in the
desert. .
