2 ■TIMELY IEVEN BUILDINGS I QN FARM BURNED Sparks From Wash-Day Fire Spread Flame Until Loss of $5,000 Is Caused Abbottstown. Pa., April 2.—Every building on the farm of A. H. Rodg ers, tenanted by his son. Amnion Rodgers, two miles east of here, was destroyed by Are yesterday after k noon, entailing a loss of about $4,-1 k 000, with $1,400 insurance. The loss ■ to the farmer in furniture and im f pletnents is about SI,OOO. | The blaze started from a few embers Mrs. Rodgers had left lay in the fireplace in the yard where she had heated water during the forenoon with which to do the fam ily washing. She did pour some water on the Are. but not enough. While working in the house the strong breeze blowing throughout the day fanned the lire up again, which communicated with a wood pile nearby. When Mrs. Rodgers discovered the blaze it was too late to cope with it. She summoned help %n the telephone, but the strong wind swept the flames from build ing to building until every one was licked up. There were seven, in all. One sow with seven pigs was burned. All the rest of the livestock was saved. Several hundred yards away are the buildings on the farms of Wes lay and Claude Auchey. Sparks from the burning buildings were carried to the barn roofs and liut for the watchfulness of the men who gath ered these, too, would have been consumed. Both were on lire several times from the sparks falling on the dry shingles. MILLERSTOWN Women of the Prestoyterian Church have presented a beautiful silk United States flag to the church.

FEW DROPS AND CORN LIFTS OUT Saya there la no excuae for cut ting corna and Inviting lockjaw. Sore corns, hard corns, soft corns or any kind of corn can harmlessly be lifted right out with the fingers if you will apply directly upon the corn a few drops of freezone, says a Cincinnati authority. It is claimed that at small cost one can get a quarter of an ounce of freezone at any drug store, which is sufficient to rid one's feet of every corn or callus without pain or sore ness or the danger of infection. This simple drug, while stitflty, dries the moment it is applied and does not inflame or even irritate the surrounding tissue. This announcement will interest many women here, for it is said that the present high-heel footwear is putting corns on practically every woman's feet.—Adv.
