southeast corner room of the house. starting
between the floor of the room above and the
plastering. eating its way along the sleepers and
up through the floor.
The fire department was promptly on hand.
and succeeded in extinguishing the flames after
hard fight to get at them. The entire upstairs
apartments were more or less burned. and the
floor and the roof near the chimney are nearly
ready to fall in. The flames travelled the entire
| length of the building along the flooring, and
were Just on the point of bursting through above
and at either end of the house. Some of the
south side clapboards ripped off. in order to
get at the fames and the total loss from fire

between $40O and $500. The house is insured il

As physical Development is dependent on correct
living. so is commercial advancement on right
dealing. Observance of natures code brings vi
tai prosperity. The practice of business integri-
ty insures steady progress to the dealer. To go

honesty in that particular line of activity These
thoughts are suggested to US by the recent re-
moval of lhe Rochester Clothing House from its
quarters in the Merits & Riddle building to the
