YOU CAN'T STOP .EM.


The Fury of an Unrettered Element Fails
to Crush Them-The Fire Fiend Defied.
The news comes from Attica, Ind,
of the destruction, by fire, of the big
laboratory and office building of the
Sterling Remedy company, makers OF
Cascarets Candy Cathartic and MOTTO
Bac, the original guaranteed tobacco
habit cure. The preparations made by
this big corporation are known
throughout the world.
The fire broke out in one of the
packing rooms on the third floor during
the noon hour, and had made consider
able Roadway before it was discovered
The Sterling Remedy company is the
principal industry Of the beautiful lit
tie city of Attica, employing several
hundred people, besides being animated
with the interests at the Indiana Min
eral Springs, the famous Magno-Mud
Cure. The entire population was
worked up to a frenzy of excitement;
Meanwhile the almost proverbial
energy and presence of mind of "Hust-
ling" Harry Kramer, the general man
ager of The Sterling Remedy company,
was displayed. He was the coolest
man at the scene. He quietly walked
away, and secured big carriage show
room near by, and had all office furni-
ture charred and delapidated as it
was, taken there. Several shipments
were made the same evening from
goods saved, and on Friday morning,
all departments were at work in var
ious rooms about town, while gang
of men were cleaning away the wreck
age preliminary to rebuilding.
The actual damage amounts to many
thousands of dollars; the loss due to
interruption of business and confusion
of detail is inestimatable, but pluck
and energy of one man will turn de-
feat into victory and move the wheels
of business to ever-increasing speed.
Nothing can stop the success of Cas-
carets and No-ToBac with such char
acteristic force behind them.
