Whatever else has been accomplished
In Cuba, the health of the island has
been wonderfully improved.
In Havana the change has been
magical; streets have been asphalted,
sewers built, buildings whitewashed
and drug stores supplied with scientific,
up-to-date preparations The demand
for Paine's celery compound has grown
to enormous proportions.
II the United States were to en-
tirely abandon Cuba today the gem
eral use of Paine's celery compound

itself keep the island from ever drift

Z. J. MOLINA.
Molina is but one OF many prominent
Cubans who have publicly advised the
use OF Paine's celery compound, bas-
ing their recommendation on the ben
eft they themselves have derived from
its use.
Not only among business men, law
yers, clergymen and physicians, but
among all classes of thoughtful, In
telligent people, Paine's celery CON-
pound is the one reliable remedy for
building up the system when il Is run
down. 1t is the greatest nerve and
brain invigorator the world has ever
known.
IL your wife, daughter or sister Is
pale, languid, headachy and irritable.
persuade her To try Paine's celery
compound. If your husband, son or
brother cannot eat, sleep or work, and
is drowsy, dyspeptic and respondent.
induce him to take Paine's celery COM
pound.
1t restores n worn and weak nervous
system TO healthy viRor.
There can be no substitute for Paine's
celery compound.
This has been shown time and time
again in cases where persons, too easily
led, have carried home something else
than Paines celery compound, and
have failed to get the benefit they eI-
pected.

FIVE DEAD and
HUNDRED HURT
Awful Result Of PhiIadeIphia'S
Big Casually
EarthWOrkS Thrown Up to Keep
SchuVlkiIl River From Being
Flooded With Blazing Oil

Philadelphia, Aug. 21.-The fire
which began Monday afternoon at the
works OF the Atlantic Refining com.
pany at Point Breeze. in the south
western section of the city, is still
burning fiercely this morning, and
Chief Baxter. of the city fire depart
ment. has given up hope Of saving any
OF the company's property. The ono
hope Of the company's officials and the
firemen was in their ability to pump
the oil from the tanks not yet reached
by the flames into reserve tanks in an
isolated section of the yard. An ex-
plosion late yesterday afternoon car
ried away the pumping machinery, and
nothing remains now apparently but
to permit the conhagration to burn
until all the oil is consumed.
It is believed this morning that the
FIVE lives lost in the explosion Of the
big gasoline tank on Monday night
completes the list of fatalities.
In the explosion which occurred yes
terday afternoon IS persons were in
jured seriously enough to be taken to
the hospitals, and about 40 others were
treated on the scene by the ambulance
surgeons. The total list of injured
will foot up to more than 100.
The fire is still raging and is eating
up oil at the rate OF 100000 a day, ac-
cording to the estimate of President
Lloyd, of the Atlantic Refining com
pany Firemen and officials are pow
erless. The fire must literally burn
itself out. The cooperage shop has
been swept away, and in its destruc-
ton 40 men narrowly escaped death.
The tanks of benzine are going. Earth.
works have been thrown up to keep
the schuylkill river from becoming
flooded with blazing oil. The firemen
say they are working in the dark
There is danger all around them, they
say, and they do not know where the
danger spots are.
Insurance men ld flrcmen early
yesterday said the loss could not be
less than 100000. but since then
great quantities of refined petroleum
and benzine have been consumed, and
several tanks have been rendered use
less by the flames

PEACHES IN FULL BLAST
and FARNERS JUBILANI

Bridgevillc, Aug 2l.-Thc peaches are
now coming ON at this station in full
blast. and the farmers are jubilant over
the fact that they are realizing good
prices.
The early fruit is about over, which
was only a small per cent compared with
that OF last year The early peaches also
rottod very badly which was due largely
10 the fact that the trees were so full last
year and not being properly picked gave
the trees an unhealthy state which is
feared will probably materially effect all
trees that were not picked last year OF
course it cannot be told yet, but this is
the suppositon of most OF the farmers.
The late fruit is somewhat later this year
than what il has been FOR years past
The Elberta is now making its appear
ance Ia the market here, and some of the
growers have received as high as sl.75 a
carrier FOR this fruit. An the farmers
have adopted plan OF selling their fruit
to the commission men at the grounds
here. In former years IL was shipped on
consignment and the growers We're COM
PEELED 10 take anything the commission
men saw M 90 send them. Now they
know just what they are getting as they
sell their own fruit themselves.
