FIRE DESTROYED WEISBARBER HOME

House Destroyed and Flames Almost Spread to the Adjacent Barn.

Fire -which started, it is believed, from a defective flue, destroyed the residence of Lovell Weisbarber, two miles northwest of the city on the Union Pike yesterday afternoon. The fire was discovered about 2:30 o'clock. The loss is estimated at about $2,000. Most of the household goods was burned. Difficulty was experienced in keeping the flames from spreading to the barn. The fire started in the upper story. "When it was discovered by Mrs. Weisbarber the upper portion of the house was in flames. Calls for help brought workmen from the Clendenin Fertilizer factory to the place but nothing could be done to save the building. The workmen Temoved as much furniture as possible.

(Backache a Warning All Should Heed

,v i One of the First Signs of Kidney Troubles, if Neglected, Serious ' Diseases Follow

No one can be well and healthy unless the kidneys work properly and keep the blood pure. When they become clogged up and inactive, nature has a way of warning you. Backache is one of the first symptoms. You may also be troubled with disagreeable, annoying bladder disorders; have attacks of lumbago or rheumatism; become nervous, tired, and feel all worn-put; puffy swellings show under the eyes or in' the feet and ankles? and many other symptoms are , noticed. If they are neglected, dropsy, diabetes, or Bright'e disease, which, so often prove fatal, may result,' It rs not only dangerous, but needless for you to suffer and endure the tortures of these troubles, for the new discovery, Croxone, quickly and surely ends all such. misery. There is no more effective remedy known for the permanent cure of all such troubles than this new, scientific preparation, because it removes the cause. It soaks right into the kidneys, through the walls and linings; cleans out the clogged up pores; neutralizes and dissolves the poisonous uric acid and waste matter that lodge in the joints and muscles and cause those terrible rheumatic pains, and makes the kidneys filter and sift the poison out of the blood and drive it from the system. You will find Croxone different from all other remedies. There Is nothing else'on earth like it. It is so prepared that it is practically impossible to take it into the human system without results. You can secure an original package of Croxone at trifling cost from any first-class drug store. All druggists are authorized to personally return the purchase price if Croxone should fail in a .single case. Three doses a day for a few days is often all that is ever needed to cure the worst backache, relieve rheumatic pains or overcome urinary disorders. (Advertisement)

BY ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE. "Everybody's doing it." This is a slang phrase of the hour that is more or less expressive of the tendency of the day. And a number of ether things. That "everybody's doing it," however, is sometimes fatal. Oftener than not to fashion. That is in that phase of fashion known as "dress." , A style will be started. At first it's the exclusive property of the originator who makes it prohibitive save to certain classes. Then it's copied by those a little lower down and it gets out of the carriages and limousines into the streets. From the streets it graduates into the kitchen and finally ends in the rummage sales and old clothes caravansaries. Nobody wants something that everybody else has. If everybody is like everybody else daily intercourse ends in flatness, vacuity and nausea. Very few people have any discrimination. Women, for example, who will adopt a fashion whether it's becoming or not. For one thing, let us say, theater caps. Or however this more or less anomalous and frequently grotesque head gear may be denominated. She sees it in a fashion journal, written about in the Sunday sections, animadverted upon by writers for

women's Dazes and pictured forth fas

cinatingly in illustration. The picture of a round-faced, dimpled girl,.with curl-haloed head topped by one of these alluring combinations of laces, ribbons and flowers, which sound so well in print and fare forth so hypnotically when platted out on the page, decides madame or mademoiselle as the fabled case may be. She at once sets to work toward duplication. She evolves a "creation" of satin and lace with sundry coquettish accessories dangling limply here and there. This she arranges on her head, takes a snatching glance or two in the mirror and fares complacently forth to the play-house. Blissfully unaware of the fact that her bunched up hair 'neath its surface makes her head look like a map of the Himalayas. Bulging protruberantly. Its planes diversified by hills and dales and beds of mountain streams. Madame or mademoiselle, again as the fabled case may be, fancies herself Irresistible and starts to act the part. It is a painful or pleasurable spectacle as is the point of view of the onlooker. Only the very young and the exceeding fair should make a feint at this sort of head-dress. Others only too frequently succeed in looking like the housemaid or the hausfrau decked out on sweeping day. But what's the odds if we think we look nice. That's the great thing. To have the heaven-born knowledge that you are beautiful, or au fait, or any of the other things that spell perfection. There are many feminine beings who possess this. Then there are the others who don't care. There is no middle grtfund. The line of cleavage is straight and clean. You are either on one side or the other. The ones who think they're beautiful, however, get the most satisfastion out of it. It's charming to see 'em. But the ones that don't care have the most fun. Conscious of their unbeautiful state they are at liberty to look around and observe the others. "Fools rush in where angels fear to tread" is one of those old saws which is illustrated every day. That's the reason you see the mediocre, the crude, the impudent, the superficial running ahead of the game. While the ones you had supposed would be on the line are diffidently hanging back and treading the fringes.

The game is usually to the fools. Because they do rush in where the others hesitate to tread and, imitating, lose the prize. The fools, unconscious of their classification, and very sure of their ability to do anything from moving a mountain to composing a symphony eagerly toe the dividing spaces with one foot forward to leap into the first hiatus that offers. Unable to originate, with no mental initiative, they are constantly on the ramparts looking for an opportunity to effect an entrance through some

"If a new engine is asked for by the department it will be propelled by a gasoline motor and will be similar to the preeent truck. The machine is needed by the department and there is now a machine which can be used for a combination engine, chemical or hose truck. "We will not ask for new equipment next year, though the new engine would be a great help to the department in case of a large conflagration, said Miller.

RICHMOND PEOPLE GOOD DRESSERS

Very few cities in the United Statescan show as many well-dressed people as Richmond, a large per cent of them having their clothes made to order. Men can get fine suits made from $15 to $25, when the same goods a few years ago cost almost twice as much. For years Emmons Tailoring Co. have been making fine suits from $15.00 up and the business has increased every year. They are now showing the largest stock they have ever shown. Over 600 styles in Fall Suitings and are "Leaders in correct tailoring for good dressers." Corner Ninth and Main

"Ha!" they say. "That's a good thing. Watch me do it to." And herein lies the gist of an economic, as well as a social question. The over-supply. And the lack of a demand to fill it. One man builds a factory and successfully manufactures a handy axe handle. He prospers. Another man, observing this, borrows money and erects another axehandle factory. The market is flooded with axe handles. Is over-stocked. The factories close up temporarily and, later, permanently, perhaps. It's what's the matter with the theatrical business in this country. There are too many theaters. Because one canny manager succeeds, an amateur says hai a good thing. See me do it. With which he borrows money, builds a gilt theater and invites the public to attend. A portion of the latter, attracted by the gilt and glitter of the new, drift in. The others hold by precedent and stay with the former.
