Fire Destroys Charch at Port Matilda,
Bundsy morning the Baptist church
at Port Matilda was entirely destroyed
by fire. The edifice was of frame con-
stroction and wss bullt thirty years
ago. The cause of the fire is laid to a
defective flue which permitted a
#park to enter the attic of the church
when a fresh fire was made that morn-
ing prior to the Bundaj-:chool hour.
The fire consumed the church so rap-
idly that it was possible to eave only
the pulpit furniture and the chaire,
The loss is estimated at $2500 with
insurance of $1000, held in the Centre
County Mutual Fire Iosurance Com-
pany, P. of H,, of which D. K. Keller
is wecretary.
The Baptiste at Port Matilda have a
fairly strong membership and they
purpose erecting a new church in the
near future,

It is estimated by experts of the De-

mercial fortilizare, in oage, sold to the
farmers of the State at a cost of $5,500,

From the number of requests being
received daily at the Department of
Agriculture for bulletine on poultry
raising, it would seem that there is to
be a big increase among poultry raisers
in the State this year,
Pennsylvania takes seventh place
for the number of dairy cows in the

York lead with dairy cows and Texas

Over seventy per cent. of all the
buckwheat raised in the United States
is raised in Pennsylvania and New

bushels over New York.
It is estimated that at least 600,000
tons of commercidl feeding stuffs are
sold annually in (Pennsylvania and
that they are valued at $15,000,000, A
greater portion of the feeding stuffs are
imported trom other states,
Recently the Department of Agri-
culture agents discovered a commercial
feed shipped into the Btate containing
about forty per cent. of ground peanut
bulis and quick action was taken to
protect the farmers from any further
frauds by preventing the sale of the
product apd further shipments,

BOLTING MEALS,
Little T.iks on Health and Hygiene by
Famuel 6. Dizxos, MM, DD, LL, DD, Com-
missioner of Health,
Man is an omnivorous animal and
cannot sfford to permit himselt to be
hurried at meale, Itis impossible to
bolt such food as the average person
eats without ir juring the health,
With the animal kingdom the sense
of smell, as well as the sense of taste,
enters largely into the enjoyment of
the meal. This should be the case
with mankind. Odor and taste, if
properly exercised, have a tendency to
stimulate the fluids essential to proper
digestion.
Chewing the food a reasonable
length of time should sssist us in en-
joying the taste and flavor. One of
the essentinlé to good digestion Is to
eat those things whioh we relish ape
less Lhe contrary is indicated by well
established scientific and empirical
knowledge, Civilization has dalled
our instincts in this respect but it sur-
vives to a certain degree in cur relish
for certain food stufle. This relish
st ould not be mietaken for the inordi-
nate fondness for certain things,
Everyone can distinguish between an
occasional intemperate indulgence and
a natural taste and relish.
The proper flow of the digestive
fluids is essential to good digestion, A
liberal portion of fruit is suggested by
moat dietitians and it is a common be-
lief that fruit is a wholesome food,
It should be remembered however,
that scid fruits are often irritating to
the mucus membrane and if the habit
ia long continued on a naturally weak
digestion or with babies, It will still
further interfere with digestion, Al
most everyone who Is using grape
fruit or other acid fruit for food, makes
a mistake by eating it before breakfast
or at hoy time on an emply stomach,
It should be eaten after breakfast Io-
stead of before as Is the habit,
