Fire in the Ainsworth variety store.

The alarm of fire yesterday morning
was caused by stubborn fire in the
Ainsyorth variety store at the corner of
Middle and Union streets. A lamp was
upset in the Office, and the burning oil
caused much smoke and flame, which
was further augmented by blaze along
the pipes of the automatic lighting sys-
tenn. The department. was on hand
promptly. The rear of the store was
drenched aud the front was demoralized
by smoke. The stock of goods was al
most completely ruined. OF course there
are many articles which will sell for
something, such as carpenters tools,
tinware, ETC., but their looks are spoiled.
Mr.. Ainsworth SAYS he had a stock
worth $1,000. He reckons his loss at
$4,000, if not more. He has an Insurance
Of $4,000 with a Fall River agency. He
says that the interruption of his bust
ness is very serious matter to him,
for he had just got his store into good
running order.
The second story of the block is occu-
pied by Mrs. G. Solkey, the dressmaker.
Her rooms were filled with smoke, hui
the damage is not extensive. The third
story is occupied by Mr.. Poole, manufac.
turing jeweller, and his apartments were
not damaged.
The building is owned by the CIapE
heirs. and was damaged to the extent O
| $500 or more; covered by insurance.

For a year and half did not get
over one and one half, hours sleep each
night, but after taking the Nervura
began to sleep, and rs / began to sleep I
began to gain, and after ! had gained
one hours sleep more than I had before,
was greatly reioieed,
My husband has paid out hundreds of
dollars for ms cure, in each kind Of medi-
cine | could name, but nothing helped
me until | took DR.. Greena's Neryura
blood and nerve remedy"
A wonderful story this. and every
statement is absolutely true. No person
ever suffered more than Mrs. Hudson,
and no more wonderful cure was ever
effected than this marvellous cure by Dr.
Greene's Nervura blood ana nerve rene
dy.
If this medicine will cure such fer
rihle and extraordinary case, it will
surely cure anything and everything in
the line of rheumatism or neuralgia.
How anyone can read about this re-
markable cure and not give DR.. Greene's
Nervura blood and nerve remedy an i'm
mediate trial is beyond the comprehen-
sion of the writer.
In the face of such strong evidence of
it's curative powers sufferers who will
not at least give it trial, deserve to
continue 60 suffer.
Particularly should it be taken now,
as such diseases always yield more
quickly and are cured more readily in
the spring.
Another reason why this grand medi-
cine can be taken with the utmost conf
dence, is the fact that its discoverer is
our most successful physician in curing
nervous and chronic diseases, DR.. Greene,
of "a Temple Place, Boston, Mass. who
can be consulted free of charge by all
who choose to write him or call upon
him.

A CLOSE SHAVE.
The Up Hill Work of Barber and His
Hot Water Tank.

For some time past we'll known barber
OF this city has had considerable difficulty
with the hot water apparatus, and has been
at his wits end in solving the problem of
how he could secure hot water continually
Tor the benefit of his patrons. A number of
committees of ways and means have been
formed, and have held meetings to see if
some way could not be found to bring fol Ii
the necessary hot water. At the last meet
ing Of this committee it was voted TO intro
duce hot water tank which had been rep
resented to the barber TO be a gem, and
therefore the tank was ordered. This tank
arrived about two weeks ago. and there was
q eat rejoicing in the barber shop when the
tank arrived, not only by the workmen, but
the patrons as well. for they thought that
their hot water WAS assured. The tank was
put in and seemed to meet the appreciation
of all concerned, and the proprietor was so
proud of his tank that he invited his
customers as they came in to see the new
hot water tank. Tho tank seemed to work
well and everybody was pleased.
Wednesday morning the proprietor entered
his shop, and on noticing the kissing of
steam went TO the tank 10 locate the cause,
when 10, he discovered that there. was
danger in the air. H e rushed out for help,
but not seeing any one he rushed back, and
discovered that his new tank had burst. and
the shop was filled with steam and water.
He happened TO think where he had laid a
monkey wrench. and feeling his way
through the thick steam, he seized the
wrench and turned ii Off from the conn ect-
ing pipe just in time 10 prevent a catas-
trophe. The barber kas called the committee
together again TO consider the matter of
providing a new tank, and the customers
live in hopes.

Government Bonds Coming to Portland

The Onion Mutual Life Insurance
Company OF this city was among the
fortunate bidders for the recent govern
ment loan. 1t asked for $50 900 at the
underwriters price, and $4,000 at the
syndicate price. It WAS allotted $4,000
OF the former at 104.49, and $4,000 Of
the latter at 1925. AS the quoted price
of the bonds is now about 100, the COM
pany has made its investment of $40, o0(
at a saving of some $4,000, or ~ 1-2 pc,
