From the Fairhaven IN. " Register.
Mr.. James Rowland of this village,
states that for twenty-five years his
wife has been a sufferer from rheu-
matism. A few nights ago she was in
such pain that she was nearly crazy.
She sent Mr.. Rowland for the doctor,
but he had read of Chamberlain's
Pain Balm and instead of going for
the physician he went to the store
and secured a bottle of it. His wife
did not approve of Mr.. Rowland's
purchase at first, but nevertheless APP
piled the Balm thoroughly and in an
hours time was able to go to sleep.
She now applies it whenever she feels
an ache or pain and finds that it
always give7 relief. He says that NO
medicine which she has used ever did
her as much good. For sale by all

Mrs. Herman HarowItz, who lives with her
husband and two children in a small fiat on the
fourth floor OF the building at 90 Attorney
street. is a careful housewife, so when she went
out yesterday morning TO buy ice she locked the
door behind her and put the key in her pocket.
The husband and children were still asleep and
breakfast was cooking on an oil stove in the
kitchen. In the absence OF Mrs. Harowitz the
oil stove exploited and set fire 10 the kitchen.
HarowitZ was awakened by the noise OF The eN-
ploSion. He attempted 20 put out the fire. and
in so doing got his hands burned. Then he
caught up the children. II rnan. Jr.. age :. and
Sarah, aged ., end ran 70 he door e. Nc 10 the
hallway. When he found n" door locked he
tried 10 break IL open and failed.
Ry this time the rooms were fun OF fame and
smoke from the blazing oil. Finding themselves
securely locked In the burning room, HnrowitZ
and his children hogan 10 shout and scream for
hep. Their cries and the smoke spreading
through the building created a panic among The
other tenants. Some one tried TO break down
the doo- OF the Harowitz apartments from the
outside. but Never Lipskv. the jani'or. tolt
them to wait. He ran downstairs and got a
duplicate KEY. The door was opened finally
and the prisoners in the burning room were re-
leased. They were uninjured except for the
burns on hands.
The iremen came and put ont the fire before
much DAMAGE had been done.
