How Fires Increase the High Cost of Living

Every time a fire destroys a building valuable j iwifiwial is irrevocably lost. No chemist can restore the wood, metal, paint and oil that entered into the construction of the structure. Not only is the building material a total loss, but the contents also must be added to the substances that never can be reclaimed. A fire in a warehouse may destroy enough foodstuffs to support a small army of people for a year. When 700,000 bushels of corn and 300,000 bushels of oats were destroyed in a recent blaze in an Illinois elevator, foodstuffs to that amountwere wiped out. Multiply this incij k ;miiof incidents, and vou readily will

agree that the fire loss helps to increase the high

cost of living ' The Actuarial Bureau of the National Board of Fire Underwriters estimates that there is one fire every minute of the year, entailing a daily destruction of about $600,000.

This sum oi money is an ecwiwmc ww which every consumer is forced to pay. It enters directly into the increased price we pay for foodstuffs, because the daily loss of $600,000 includes not only the buildings, but also their contents. Twenty-one per cent of all the fires in the

United States is due to preventable causes. Reduce the fire loss, and you will help reduce the high cost of living. '; . The Automatic Phone in Indianapolis.

Indianapolis is preening itself on the installation of the automatic telephone system. Newspapers are printing pictures showing city and state officials using the new instrument and are carrying long articles describing what they consider an innovation. It is seldom that a small Indiana city enjoys

a public utility many years before the metropolis does, but this holds true of the automatic

telephone, which has been in service here for

many years.

Residents of the Quaker city are reading

with pleasure the publicity attending the instal

lation of the service in Indianapolis. For once,

the "country cousins" can sit back in their com

fortable rocking chairs and watch with delight while their sophisticated "city cousins" unfathom the mystery of calling 3899 without giving the number to central. We hope that when we visit the "city folks" they will not try to initiate us into the workings of the "new-fangled" phone. For once, we have been ahead of them.

DEATH BECKONS

MRS, KIRK1700D

CAMBRIDGE CITY, lad., March 22.

Mr.. Sarah Katharine Kirkwood

died Wednesday morning at bar horn on North Walnut, after a short illness. The funeral will be held Friday afternoon at the home. Interment in Riverside Cemetery.

Mrs. Kirkwood, the daughter of William and Sarah Barry, was born on a farm, south of Milton. February 25,

1S34.

She received her education in the

district schools, with her father as the teacher. Sho was united in marriage with Morrison Kirkwood, October 31, 1850, in their own home, near Milton. They came to Cambridge City for residence in 1875.

She was a member of the Christian church for more than twenty years. Three children, B. L. Kirkwood, of Kennard; Olive, the wife of B. F. Miller, and with whom she made her home, and C. E. Kirkwood, of Constantine, Mich., eight grandchildren and two great grandchildren, Earl and Alva Clark, of ZanesviUe, survive her.

Lazy Husbands A father who out of sheer laziness permits his wife and children to "suffer for food and clothing deserves punishment. No man need to

be out of work in Richmond. Factories cannot obtain enough men. . Their owners complain that

employers in other, cities send, agents to Rich mond to entice latorert."'iV The man who starves his children, while fac

tories are begging for employes is an undesirable citizen. It is to be regretted that some form of

punishment cannot be devised whereby the cul

prit would be forced to do double work while his

family would enjoy twice the comforts it ordi narily does.

ALASKA PETITIONS FOR SECOND TERM (Br Associated Press) JUNEAU, Alaska, March 22. The senate and house of representatives of the Alaska legislature yesterday adopted a joist memorial to President Wilson and secretary of the Interior Lane asking the re-appointment of J. F. A. Strong as governor of the terri"tory. When preparing old, dry beans for biking, a little soda in the water in which they are soaked will render them tender and soft.

ordered sixty submarine, chasers to be completed in the next sixty days. A declaration of war by the United State would cause less perturbation in Richmond than the recent defeated the high school team by Rochester. Everybody Is expecting war. No one expected the high school team to lose. A Hutchison. Kas.. farmer, arrested

for sneedine save eggs as bail. His

bail will be good as long as it is kept in cold storage. Richmond folks now feel more at home in Indianapolis since that city has the Automatic telephone sys

tem. Newspapers at the state capital have devoted coluumns and columns to this wonder which eliminates the hello girl and long waits. They're like a Email boy with a new mechanical toy. Wake up, Indianapolis, Richmond has had the Automatic for years. Don't be Jealous, grab hold on the chariot of progress.

Maybe that's the reason a certain canltal city sport mixer throws "a

verbal spasm everytime he thinks about Richmond being the home of a

Central league club. He should remember we must have our playthings too. t

Remember

Ten Reasons Why You Should Send For Brooks Rupture Appliance 1. It is absolutely the only Appliance of the kind on the market todav.

and in it are embodied the principles

that Inventors have sought after for years. 2. The Appliance for retaining the rupture cannot be thrown out of position. - 3. Being an air cushion of soft rubber it clings closely to the body, yet never blisters or causes irritation. 4. Unlike the ordinary so-called pads, used hi other trusses, it is not cumbersome or ungainly. 5. It is small, soft and pliable, and positively cannot be detected through the clothing. 6. The soft, pliable bands holding the Appliance do not give one the unpleasant sensation of wearing a harness. 7. There is nothing about it to get foul, and when it becomes soiled it can be washed without injuring it in the least. 8. There are no metal springs in the Appliance to torture one by cutting and bruising the flesh. 9. All of the material of which the Appliances are made is of the very best that money can buy, making it a durable and safe Appliance to wear. 10. My reputation for honesty and fair dealing is so thoroughly established by an experience of over thirty years of dealing with the public, and my prices are so reasonable, my terms so fair, that there certainly should be no hesitancy in sending free coupon today. .
