How water cause. n Firc.

One would hardly believe that bot
tie of water standing harmlessly on
table could be the cause of n fire.
Nevertheless such is the case. In my
laboratory the other day 1 detected the
odor of burning wood and, seeking the
cause, noticed a tiny wreath of smoke
rising from the counter. Setting aside
flask of water that stood close by L
sponged over the burning spot with a
damp cloth. Shortly after / again de-
tected the odor of burning wood, when,
to my surprise, 1 discovered another
burning spot on the table close to the
water flask. The flask was standing
in the sunlight, thereby concentrating
the rays to a focus on the top of the
table, acting in this case as n burning
glass. 4 handful of highly combusti-
BILE material was thrown over the burn
ing spot, catching fire almost immedi-
ately.
l cite this instance merely as a warn
ing to chemists and apothecaries, who
may not realize how easily fire may
be started in their storerooms by the
sun shining through bottles, TASKS and
carboys of liquid. converting them for
the time being into burning glasses of
great power. l have in mind now the
instance of fire originating in a
storeroom from this cause.-New York

1t Would Appear That Local Remedies
Would be Best for Cure of Catarrh.
II would seem at first glance that
catarrh being a disease of the mu-
cous mem brane; that salves, sprays,
etc., being applied directly to the
membranes of the nose and throat,
would be the most rational treatment,
bat this has been proven not to be
true.
The mucous membrane is made and
repaired from the blood and catarrh
is blood disease. and any remedy to
make permanent cure must act on
the blood, and when the blood is pur-
lied from catarrhal poison, the secre-
tons from the mucous membrane
will become natural and healthy.
In this climate, thousands of
people seem scarcely ever free from
some form of catarrh; it gets better at
times, but each winter becomes grad
ually deeper seated and after a time
the sufferer resigns himself to it as a
necessary evil.
Catarrh cures are almost as numer-
Gus as catarrh sufferers, but are near
ly all so announcement and ineffective
as to render their use anuisance near
ly as annoying as catarrh itself; any
one who has used douches, sprays
and powders will bear witness to their
inconvenience and failure to really
cure.
There are number of excellent in
ternal remedies for catarrh, but prob
ably the best and certainly the safest
is a new remedy composed of eucalyp-
toll. hydrastis, sanguinaria and other
valuable catarrh specifics.
This remedy is in tablet form, pleas
ant to the taste and sold by druggists
under the name of Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets, and anyone suffering from
catarrh may use these tablets with
absolute assurance that they con-
tain no cocaine. opiate nor any poison
GUS mineral whatever.
A leading druggist in Albany. speak
ing of catArrh cures, says: II have
sold various catarrh cures for years,
but have never sold any which gave
such general satisfaction as Stuart Is
Catarrh Tablets. They contain in a
pleasant, concentrated form all the
best and latest catarrh remedies, and
catarrh sufferers who have used
douches, sprays and salves have been
astonished at the quick relief and per-
manent results Obtained after a weeks
use of Stuart's CatarFh Tablets" All
druggists sell full sized packages for
80 cents.

The Grip Epidemic.

The Disease Wore Prevalent than Ever
and Quite as Fatal. The Best Treatment.
The grip has surprised the doctors
and health authorities this season by
its rapid spread and by some novel
symptoms. While it spares nobody
it is proving especially dangerous to
middle-aged and elderly persons. In
many cases either a fatal onset of
pneumonia, or complete breakdown
of health and strength, is apt to fol-
low an attack of grip.
The wise course for all is preven-
ton. BY wearing Benson's Porous
Plaster on the chest and back you
protect the lungs from cold and chill
and with ordinary carey you are safe
from grip.
For those who are already suffering
from grip, or from the usual winter
coughs and colds, BenSon's Pasters
are a sure and speedy relief and cure.
Highly medicinal and scientific.
Refuse limitations and substitutes.
Only the genuine are effective. Ex-
anime when you buy. Seabury &

Never buy any article without refer
ence to the rest of your clothes. If you
can wear it with nothing else it will be
quite wasted.
Never buy thing you do not want
just because it is cheap.
Don't buy an article merely because
it is pretty, when you have not the
faintest idea whether it will suit you.
Do not buy clothes at the end of the
season because their price is reduced.
Fashions change so quickly that they
seldom come in for next season.
When you buy shoes and boots, try
them on both feet, as sometimes both do
not tit.
When you buy underlinen, look at the
material and the stitching more than the
trimming. A good plain article, well
made, is better than cheap finery.
Never buy anything that is too smart
or too noticeable to 70 with the rest OF
your dress. 1t will have the effect OF
making the whole look shabby.
Above all things, make up your mind
not to 90 to sales, for too often the
