was placed on the arch and no evidence
of the weight was shown. The weight
was increased to 60, 300 pounds, and un-
der this load the arch broke, the ten

The essential difference between
Paine's celery compound and the be-
wildering number OF sarsaparillas and
nervines that its success has brought
into existence is that Paine's celery
compound furnishes just the appro-

nerves, land securely builds up the sys-

scientific remedies confuse and add to
the derangementsof organs.
Paine's celery compound not only re

cures.
The most permanent and direct cure
for debility, nervous weakness, languor,
and rundown condition, is the
strong, reliable Palne's celery com

Flames in the Cook Hotel
Were Extinguished Before Doing
Much Damage.

The cold snap at Salem has not been
attended by a fire. But there was a
narrow escape, to say the least.
Shortly before O'Clock Saturday

Cook hotel that did not result in any
thing very serious.

burned. He turned his attention to
extinguishing the flames. With the
assistance OF Il few bystanders, a
bucket brigade was formed and tie
fire was soon under control. The dam
age will not amount to over $50. For
tunately the fire was extinguished.
An addition, almost as large as the ori-
gi nal structure has but recently been
built on the south end of the hotel.
The only way to account for the blaze
is that the match ignited paper or
other inflammable material that had
been saturated with the oil. Thus the
blaze was conveyed to the can and the
explosion followed.
