SKYSCRAPERS BARRIERS
AGAINST BIG FIRES
Such Has Been Proved in New York
Fires.
New York, June 3.—“ Without know
ing it, New York has provided itself
with impassable barriers against fire,
said one of the city’s leading archi
tects the other day. “These barriers
are the modern ‘skyscrapers.’ Few
people knqw that it was these and not
the fire department that kept the
Equitable fire from spreading over the
lower section of Monhattan Island.”
Last year’s Triangle shirtwaist fac
tory tire, in which 140 persons were
killed, has shown the experts that the
difficult problem is not to build fire
proof structures, but to devise means
of escape in the event that inflamma
ble contents take fire. In the Triangle
disaster the building itself was un
damaged, despite the high degree ot
heat generated; the trouble was that it
acted as an oven, from which the
working girls could not escape.
The “skyscraper craze,” as it is call
ed, is not abated in the Metropolis,
and statistics show that the lofty
skeleton type of structure ts gaining
in favor in cities all over the country.'
New York’s newest —the highest build
ing in the world —has reached the for
ty-seventh story and is still rising.
The architect has specified that, from
top to bottom, the steel frame shall be
covered with hollow terracotta blocks
that have passed through a heat of
2,000 degrees in process of manufac
ture. These will serve as floors and
partitions, besides covering the steal I
beams and girders. With metal doors, j
window frames and “trim”, tnere will
■he absolutely nothing in the building
for fire to feed upon.
It is the "skyscrapers” of this kind
—the newest ones, in the construction
of which no inflammable material is
used—that stand as safeguards against
a conflagration in New York’s financial
section. There are coming to be so
many of these now that no fire, in this
part of the city, could go far without
finding one of them in its way.
OHIO COW PRODUCES 36
QUARTS OF MILK A DAY
East Clarion, Ohio, June 3.—A new
world’s record has been established
for milk and butter production by
Banostine Belle de Kol, a Holstein-
Friesan cow. In one year she produc
ed 27,404.4 pounds of milk testing 3.86
per cent of fat. This means more than
36 quarts of milk a day, and 1,322,920
pounds of butter, more than 3 1-2
pounds a day.
It is needless to say that this won
derful cow was not allowed to lack for
anything she desired in the way of food
and drink during the yea She is five
years old and weighs about 1,600
pounds. Throughout the test she had
ensilage and alfalfa when the natural
trass was not at its best. She also
had a variety of roots, powdered beets
and other vegetables and was supplied
with grain, principally oats and bran

REACH HARGIS DOING
HOSPITAL WORK NOW
Frankfort, Ky., June 3. —Beach Har
gis, serving in the penitentiary the
first year of a life term for murder of
his father, Judge James Hargis, one
time Breathitt county feud chieftain,
has been taken off hard labor and as
signed to hospital service. The change
was made at the prison doctor’s sug
gestion, and on account of Hargis’
weak eyes and an affection of the
heart, it is declared his condition is
precarious, and that effort will be
made to get a pardon for him.

TELLS JTROUBLES
Lady in Goodwater Describes Her
Distressing Experience and
Tells How She Was
Finally Relieved
Goodwater, Mo.— ‘ Ever since ! was
a little girl,” says Mrs. Riley Laramore,
“I was a great sufferer from dyspepsia.
1 suffered misery after eating, and had
terrible heartburn.
I thought I had to suffer this way as
long as I lived, but when I began to take
Thedford’s Black-Draught, in small
doses, every night, the heartburn was all
gone in a few days, and 1 could eat
without distress.
I took two small packages in all, and
although that was some time ago, the
dyspepsia has not returned.
I speak a good word for Thedford’s
Black-Draught whenever 1 have the op
portunity.”
If eating causes distress, we urge you
to try Thedford’s Black-Draught. It
cleanses the system, helps the stomach to
i digest its food, regulates the bowels, and
stimulates the liver.
| It acts gently and is without bad after
effects. Try it Price 25c.
