For every one there is money enough to

Why should we use cheap, impure, I'M

they may cost life. There are reported

ed BY fire Sunday morning. The Ere
originated in the second story and

was saved. The house was practically
a new one; it was built just a few
years ago at q cost of more than
$4,000 and was one the best, II not
the best, in that section of the coun-
try. Mr.. Mum carried only 500 in
surance, and bic loss conse quently ia
very heavy.
Several days ago the residence OF
Mr.. M. Q. C'Hara in the View neigh
borhood was burned. 1t was . large
two story frame. But few of the
household goods were saved. Mr..
O'asrs had $3.50 insurance, which
only partially covered his loss. There
will probably be some litigation about
a settlement with the company. Tn.
der a Misrepresentation ofthe situation
Mr.. O'Hars accepted 1900 from the
company, but since making an inves-
tigatiOu he will probably bring suit
for the other $3.50.
