A FLANNEL Shirt Erehnnrc.

You cannot imagine how the flannel
shirt business of our store has grown in
the past few years" said n trusted clerk
of N of Boston's largest firms. Two
years ago three clerks were enough to
handle all the trade in flannel shirts we
had. Now | have six good men under
me, and the work is all they can do.
Everybody is wearing flannel shirts now,
and our sales amount to more than TO-
900 shirts n year.
You know how a flannel shirt will
shrink have n plan which will not
only make n mans flannel shirt fit him
all the time, but will enable him to come
out with a new style shirt every two
days. My Flannel Shirt Exchange will
take n shirt that is too small for n mar
from washing and give him one n size
longer of the same quality for the small
SUM of % cents, provided the shirt hi
brings in is clean. Thus a man with {
3O-inch torso can get the shirt of the 30.
inch man, and give his out to the 2S-incl
MAG, while the 32-inch man will take
that which belonged to him of 81 inches,
and SC on up to thS largest. "-Boston

There appears to prevail among the
laity a belief that the cure of cancer is
seldom effected by the use of the knife,
and that, when it is used, the disease Is
quite certain to reappear. At the recent
congress of German surgeons n number
of them told of tie after results of ope-
rations for the removal of cancers from
the tongue and throat. In one instance
the whole tongue was removed from a
patient twenty years ago, and the cancer
never returned. Another patient first
had the left side of his tongue removed,
and, as the disease reappeared, he was
again operated upon and the other side
taken out. That was between five and
six years ago, and yet since that time he
has remained perfectly well. Professor
Kuster, of Berlin, presented a case of
carcinoma Of the tongue Upon which he
operated ten years ago, and which has
not returned since. Professor Won Berg
mani exhibited two patients: one was a
case operated upon two years previously,
and the other four years before; the dis
ease had not returned. As for carcinoma
of the throat, several patients were pre-
sented who had had the entire larynx re
moved, and now, several years after the
operation, there had been no signs of a
recurrence of the disease. Boston Her

Prevention of Tuberculosis.

The Psychologists of the New York city
health department, in their report on the
prevention Of tuberculosis, specially EN-.
phasize the following facts: First, that
tuberculosis is a distinctly ~preventabla
disease: second, that it is not directly in
herited; and, third, that it is acquired by
the direct transmission of the tubercle
bacillus from the sick to the healthy,
usually by mea of the dried and pull
verified sputum floating as dust in the
air. The measures, then, which are sug-
gested for the prevention of the spread
of tuberculosis are: First, the security OF
the public against t~uberculous meat and
milk, attained by asystem of rigid official
inspection of cattle; second, the dissem-
ination among the people of the knowl.

that are occupied, or have been occupied,

SPOKANE FALLS, Aug. 5.-The entire
business portion of this city was destroyed
last night. Twenty-Five blocks were re-
duccd to ashes. The estimated loss is
$4,000 900. The fire started at I O'Clock
in a lodging house on Railroad avenue.
The fire department was on the scene
quickly, but owing 70 lack of water the
fire rapidly spread to the adjoining build
ing and was beyond control. The flames
Jumped across the street to the Rush
house and Pacific hotel. By this time
the wind sprung up and it was evident
the city was doomed.
The fire spread with dreadful rapidity.
The 6remen were powerless. Attempts
were made to check the fire by blowing up
buildings in the path, but they were use
less. From the Pacific hotel the fire
jumped across First street to the frame
buildings in the next block. Soon it had
reached the heart of the city. A block
OF two story brick buildings on Riverside
avenue next went. From hcre-the fire
communicated to the magnificent Hyde
block, a four story building, taking the
whole block between Mill and Howard
streets on Riverside. The fire leaped
across Howard street and in a few minutes
the block between Howard and Stevens
was reduced to ashes.
The next to succumb was the large, full
and solid block of four story bricks. Right
here was the Frankfort block, the largest
building in the city, erected at a cost of
$3.50, 900. 1t wIthstood the fire some
time, but finally succumbed.: The Airing
ton hotel was the next TO go. The build
ing was enveloped in flames when a man
was seen to jump from the second story.
He arose from the ground and started
down Howard street. when he was soon
overcome by the heat and fell. Several
people rushed to his assistance and carried
him to a place of safety.

Spokane Falls the Latest Vic
tim of Fire.
The Entire Business Quarter
Utterly Destroyed.
Poor Water Supply Causes the
Disaster.
The Loss COnservatively Put
at Six Millions.
A City Wiped Out.

HELENA. Mont, Aug. 5.-The city OF
Spokane Falls, w. T., is burned to the
ground by a fire which started last night.
The details OF the destruction we're hard
ly ~obtainable this morning. The news OF
the virtual wiping out of the city came
through the Western Union telegraph
officials here. They report the telegraph
Office in Spokane as having been swept
out of existence.
Later information showed that forty
business blocks had fallen prey to the
flames. 1t was definitely ascertained that
the Northern Pacific depot and all public
buildings in the city were carried away in
the general havoc. The first estimate re-
ceived placed the loss by the CONFEDERATION
at $50. 000, 900.
Spokane was one of the most promi-
nent of the many new cities IN the infant
state of Washington. 1t is situated on
the line OF the Northern Pacific railroad
close to the Coure d'Alene mining re-
gion. This city has been the site for many
large industrial establishments such as
smelters and kindred enterprises. Expen-
slve public edifices had also been recently
erected. The population easily support
ed two prosperous dalies.
A Portland, Ore, special says that the
fire at Spokane Falls started in a large
frame block opposite the Northern Pacific
depot and under the influence of the high
winds which scattered the burning en-
bers and started fires in a half dozen
different blocks at once, the whole dis
trict was burned over in three hours. The
water supply proved totally inadequate,
even for a small fire, and the iiremen as
well as citizens became panic stricken.
Several people are known to have perish
ed in the flames, and several more were
injured by leaping from windows. Chas.
Davis, of Chicago, a guest at the Airing
ton house. was awakened by the FLAMES
bursting through the doors OF his room in
the third story. He jumped from the
window. was shockinCly mangled and
died in a few moments. A woman whose
name is unknown, lcaped from the sec
ond story of the Pacific hotel and was
killed.
A fire spread with such astonishing IA.
pidity that it is believed that many were
shut off from escape before they were
even aware OF their danger. A dozen
large building were blown up with giant
powder by the orders of the mayor but
even this proved futile. The Northern
Paciice Is probably the heaviest loser, the
passenger depot and magnificent new
freight warehouse being destroyed. Their
loss including freight burned will reach
about 81, 0 900. All provisions and
supplies were burned and there will neccs-
sarily be much suffering for several days.
Appeals for help have been sent out and
Portland, Seattle. Tacoma and several
%neighboring small towns have already re
sponded.
The fire exhausted itself at the river
for lack OF material. All the -four and
lumber mills we're saved.
