FOOLED THE TOWN.
The Bout Scrap on Peaks Island Proved
Tempting Bait for April Fool

Many q man of sporting tendencies
was given ticket something like the
following the first Of this week but told
to keep the thing on the ''dead quiet:"

"Don't give this away said the friend
who said he WAS on the inside and was
helping the thing along little. "Keep
it dark and you'll see red hot fight.
if the police don't get on to it, the scrap
will be worth seeing"
"WhoEe going to scrap" the would be

"Well it's-but say old man can't
give that away just now," the friend
on the inside explains. "You see the
police mustn't get Whit of this affair.
1t is all on the square though and for

have put up hot fight but II is one is

That's how the. tickets were distributed
mainly and the young sports about town
all dazed over the idea of seeing real
wicked fight for once in their. lives
sneaked down to Custom House wharf
last night shortly before 745 o'clock.
The man who had been given ticket
doubtless SAW many other young men
sneaking down the wharf towards the
officials of the Caseo Bay company and
never dreamed Of the affair being an
April fool hoax.
But the steamer Forest Queen was as
dark and silent as an abandoned vessel
No other steamers seemed to be prepar ed
for a run to Peaks island and after
wasting around the wharves an hour or
more in the dark looking for boats to

some OF those practical jokers among the

To the Editor Of the Press:

To the Editor of the Press:
Will you kindly give space for Tho IN
sertion Of few words ON subject which
cougider of much importance to our
citizens generally. 1t will be remem hered
that in your Issue of last week In speak
ing of the fire at the residence of z.
Frank Little, mention was made OF the
fact that there were no "fire-stops" In the
building and you gavs that as reason
for the unlock editor necessity for the
second alarm. Ii this matter you have
undoubtedly stated the correct reason
and the omission of these very necessary
things haa been the cause of the spread
of hundreds Of fires in our city Is we'll as
elsewhere. AS contractor and builder,
l have been SO placed as to realize the
great necessity Of placing proper "fire
stops" in all buildin and the little
extra expense incurred in putting them
in place is not to be thought of when we
consider. the sure gain in case of fire. In
the course Of my building the past few
years, l have been very glad to find out
thatsMr. Ward, our inspector of build.
ings. has, among many other improve
ments he has instituted in our construc
tions, insisted that " fire-stops" bs
properly placed in new buildings and hi
should receive the hearty thanks Of oul
citizens for SO doing.
Yours very truly,

The InvaIid's Home.
TO the Editor Of the Press:

The Inyalid's Home located in Deering
is now well established, that it has a
three years. history Of most satisfactory
and benetioent work. AS the price of
board is very small it solves the problem
for those whose means do not admit OF
modern luxurious crest cures" or have
not the comforts even of an ordinary
home when sick or neryously weary. The
house is in sunny, quiet location having
pleasant lawn bordered with flowers
which is enjoyed by those who are able
in the warm months to spend most OF
the day in the open air. The atmosphere
inside is like bright cheerful home
with no suggestion of an institution. !"
Many who have shared it's restful
environments have Left with ex presaions
of the matron, who is the ''mother " of
the>home and the efficient nurse in
charge, have enabled them to take up
their work in life with restored strength
and fresh courage. No greater service

work, than to assume the responsibility
of her having few weeks rest. Churches
and associate employees have availed OF
this many times since the home was
opened. The price of board is only NOM
inal and is not adequate for the running
expenses. The managers believe that
the object for which the home was Gre
ated is the strongest appeal for financial
aid from those who can see the practical
results of the good work, and it ID hoped
that su bscribers and friends who have
con tributsd SO generously in the past
will regard 1t a privilege to do more

cupied with applicants on the waiting

him politely, but positively declined

Exposure to Disease

Does not necessarily mean the CON-
traction of disease provided the sys-
TEN is in a vigorous condition, with
the blood pure and all the organs in
healthy action. When in such Il cons
dition contagion is- readily resisted
and the disease germs can find no
lodgment. Hood's Sarsaparilla is the
best medicine to build up the system
because it makes pure, rich blood,
and pure blood is the basis of good
health. In cold weather it is especial.
ly necessary to keep up the health
tone because the body is subject to
greater exposure and more liable tn
disease. Hoods Sarsaparilla is the
safeguard of health.
