DEFECTIVE FLUES CAUSE Wl FIRES
DURING SUMMER MONTHS 178 RESULTED FROM THIS CAUSE IN INDIANA—SHOULD IN
SPECT YOUR FLUES
From May 15th to Sept. 1st, a season when heating stoves and. furnaces are not in use, there have been in Indiana 178 fires and a resulting loss of $101,427, due to defective flues.
This fact, based on figures tabulated in the office of the state fire marshal, emphasizes the necessity of a thorough inspection of all flues, before stoves and furnaces are lighted for the winter season.
And this inspection is one of the duties now being urged upon the people of Indiana as a part of Fire Prevention Day, Thursday, October 9th.
Delay is Dangerous
"In this, as in other vital matters, we realize the necessity for action, but we are apt to delay and postpone," said Fire Marshal Longley. "It is merely a question of getting the thing done, thereby avoiding the more frequent and more numerous fires arising from Defective flues when the winter season sets in. Fire Prevention Day sets a time when the citizens of the state may take proper measures for their safely. It fixes a certain day —makes the time definite. When our people determine to do a thing they do it. The time is chosen. All they need to do is to say, 'I'll do it' —and it will be done."
Upon the showing that $100,000 was lost by fires from defective flues during three summer months, the yearly loss caused by defective flues would be $400,000—nearly a half million dollars, but it is likely that the loss would be. nearer $500,000 than $400,000 each year.
Reports from fire marshals in other states show that in the course of a year, the most frequent cause of fires is the defective flue. It causes more dwelling house fires than sparks from the chimney.
Flues become defective frequently, because the chimney is built jn the hpuse in such a way that it must bear part of the structure's weight. This causes the flue to crack when the house settles. The chimneys should be built from the ground up. and should never rest on wood supports.
Bricks, blown down by the wind in the summer time, often result in defective flues. And where no inspection is made in the fall, the first knowledge of the accident comes to the householder when his home is in flames.
Inspection is Preventive An inspection on Fire Prevention Day would disclose such conditions, would reveal cracks where they exist, and would permit repairs in time to prevent a future fire.
This inspection should be made particularly in the attic, and care should be taken to see that no inflammable material is kept near the chimney.
In addition to the loss in dollars and cents, there is another hazard always present in the burning of a home. In Wisconsin, in one year, 28 persons lost their lives in houses fired by defective flues.
TAKE IT IN TIME
Just as Scores of Greenfield People Have.
Waiting doesn't, pay. If you neglect kidney backache, Urinary troubles often follow. Act in time by curing the kidneys. Doan's Kidney Pills are especially for weakened kidneys.
Many people in this locality recommend them. Here's one Knightstown case:
Mrs. Edward Green, Front and Warwick streets, Knightstown, Ind., says: "One of the family suffered greatly from backache and other symptoms of disordered kidneys. When Doan's Kidney Pills were brought to our attention, a supply was procured and I must say that no other remedy could have given greater satisfaction. A few days' use of Doan's Kidney Pills convinced us of their curative powers. After two boxes had been finished, the backache and other symptoms of kidney trouble had left. I recommend Doan's Kidney Pills at every opportunity, and take pleasure in doing so."

Not Don'ts But Do's
Do let the children feel that they are mother's most cherished possession, and that home is a place for them to be happy in.
Do learn to hold your tongue when vexed or angry.' A muzzle applied at the right moment would prevent many a family discord and heal many wounded hearts.
Do remember that a very little thing may work a-marvel. A kiss has changed the destiny of men and women.
Do beware of scolding the silent man. A man who can hold his tongue under provocation, is worthy of admiration, veneration and devotion.
Do cultivate a sense of humor, that peace and merriment maydwell in thy house, and the little annoyances that darken the day will disappear as a morning mist before the sun.
Do not feel offended if he who asks advice fails to follow it. What is wisdom in us may prove folly in another.
Do be generous in your criticisms as it is a form of magnanimity that leaves no sting of regret.

POTATOES ARE POTATOES
Are Retailing at $1.35 Per Bushel At This Time
Potatoes will be potatoes this winter, is the general opinion, and it is justified by the price, which is now $1.35, right at digging time. Usually, potatoes can be bought for 50 to 65 cents a bushel at this season, and they rarely go above 80 cents before cold weather, and sometimes not them. With the price $1.35 at this time, however, it looks like the heretofore poor man's friend will be in the luxury class before many moons pass over.
Jacob Sanders and wife and Mrs. Walsh, of Chicago, who have been the guests of C. M. Gibbs and wife for a few days, returned home Sunday.
M. T. Willett returned home on Monday morning from Chattanooga, Tenn., where he attended the National G. A. R. reunion.
IE LILLY COMPANY IS MAKING PROGRESS
Have a Large Number of Hands at Work on Many New Buildl ings At Their Farm.
The Eli Lilly Company is making much progress now at their farms west of the city in the way of new buildings. They recently awarded the contract for about $100,000 worth of buildings, and a great force of men began a few days ago to build them, on the Dr. Millikan land, south of the National Road, and railroad. While a majority of the hands are from Indianapolis, several Greenfield people have found employment there, and others will probably be given work when the foundations are all in for the new buildings.
The indications are that the Lilly plant here will be quite a big enterprise that will be an advantage to Greenfield and the entire community.
The Lacy Reunion.
The Lacy reunion was held Sunday. It was to have been held in Graft's grove, but on account of the cold weather, it was held at the T. H. I. & E. substation, near Charlottesville. There were about fifty in attendance. Among them were G. W. Lacy and wife, Mrs. Amanda J. Carson and family and Daniel Tierney and family, of this city Mary Kingen and son, Otto, and Noble Pauley and family, of Indianapolis, and Mabel Reeves, of Terre Haute.
Birthday Surprise Dinner. Rev. Mrs. Rufina White, of North Wood street, was given a surprise birthday dinner Sunday. Mrs. White and Miss Edna Butler went to church, and upon returning home found the house filled with guests, and all enjoyed the occasion. The guests were Mr. and Mrs. Willis I. Leary, of Maxwell Mrs. Nancy J. Morris, Mrs. Narcissa Macy and Miss Pearl Collyer, of this city Mr. and Mrs. Taylor and daughter, Leanah and Emma Sutton of Spiceland.
Reports Many Desertions The Connersville News says that since last Christmas there have been eight cases of wife desertion and sudden disappearances in that city and county. The last to disappear was Raymond Matney, who left his home there a few days ago and left no trace of his route.
All indications point to higherpriced meat by another summer than ever has been known in this country before in times of peace. Both pork and beef will be high because the grain and other feed required to make it will be high. Even the yellow-legged rooster and the old torn turkey will be roosting high.
Matt T. Willett, who returned on Monday morning from Chattanooga, Tenn., brought back with him a large and varied collection of pictures of the many scenes of interest in and about that famous and historic battlefield and southern city.
