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.

TROUBLES NEARLY
DROVE HIM CRAZY
P. It. R. Machinist Tried Remedy
After Remedy in Vain Search
For Relief
TAXI/AO AIDS HIM AT ONCE
"If there ever was a wonderful
remedy it is Tanlac," says George C.
Smith, of 1947 North street, Harris
burg, Pa.
"I had a sort of eczema all over
my face and body.
Doctors told me that it was
/ caused by the oils from the machln-
I ei-y as I was working as a machinist
'in the P. R. R. Shops, 'so I quit
my Job and got another on a street
car. but the itching didn't get any
better and I was almost insane from
the torture.
"Then one day I decided I'd take
a crack at Tanlac and see what that
would do, for I'd heard a lot of won
derful reports about it and I sort of
had a hunch.
"Well, sir, believe me, it did the
work. The second dose brought re
lief and it was only a matter of
days until my skin was all healed
up, tho itching stopped and the
eczema gone entirely."
Tanlac is now being introduced
here at Gorgas' Drug Store.—Adv.

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.
