The fire which destroyed the immense Swamp Roqt medicine plant of Dr. Kil­ mer & Co., July 1, was the most disas­ trous which has ever occurred in^Bing- hamton. However, the Kilmers re­ timed business next morning, though not at the old stand, which is a heap of smouldered ashes. While the firemen were yet pouring water on the burning Chenango street establishment, the Kil­ mers were arranging to do business somewhere else. That this great industry might not be crippled for a moment, through the courtesy of other prominent firms and citizens, the large factory and adjoining buildings on South street were vacated for the benefit of the Swamp Root peo­ ple, and possession was taken immedi­ ately, and here, by Monday, July 8, this new, temporary factory will be turning out Swamp Root, the great Kidney remedy, in quantities of about 60,000 bottles per day, and in two or three weeks' time the full capacity of more than four times that amount wilPbe produced. The immense demand for Swamp Root will thus in no way be in­ terfered with. On the old site, with adjoining prop­ erty which has just been purchased, will be erected immediately an absolutely fire proof six story structure, plans for which have been nearly completed.

At home a woman should be guided in her manner of dressing by an even great­ er desire to please than elsewhere.

Qetting the Greatest Good from Books. 4'Summer reading is often largely composed of fiction, and if we choose good novels and bright, wholesome short stories, we are not exactly wast­ ing our time, although 'every one of these long summer days ought to give us a return in something besides enter-- tainiuent and amusement, " writes Mar garet E. Sangster, in the July Ladies' Home Journal, "i fancy that most girls would be tl*e gainers by keeping on hand a good, strong book, a volume of history, or biography, or travels, or essays, and devoting a portion of their time to it each morning or each after­ noon consecutively, keeping a book­ mark at the place where they break off and moving it on day by day. If, added to this, each girl would keep near her a lit'le blank memorandum book in which she should enter dates, copy passages which impress her as worth remember­ ing, or write her own comments on what she reads, she would gain an in calculable store of mental wealth by the summer's ejad.
