When the quantity Of food taken Is
too large or the quality too rich, heart
burn is likely to follow, and especially
so if the digestion has been weakened

too freely Of easily digested food. Mas
ticate the food thoroughly. Let six
hours elapse between meals and when
you feel a fullness and weight in the
region Of the stomach after eating, in
dicating that you have eaten too
much, take one of Chamberlain's
Stomach and Liver Tablets and the
heartburn may be avoided. For sale by

up with an accident while crossing the
Wabash railroad at East street that
came near proving serious. The fast
east mail passenger was upon them be-
fore the boys noticed it. They tried to
stop their horse, but he took fright
and dashed in front Of the train. The
buggy was smashed to smithereens
the horse was knocked couple Of rods
and killed, and the boys thrown quite
a distance from the track escaping
with a few bruises. How they ever got
off with so little injury is miracle.
The train stopped and brought them
back to the depot. They went to DR..

dressed and went home later, at this

for women. The various weak

catarrh of the mucous lining and Pe-rli-na
Is a specific for catarrh In any organ Of
the body. Any congestion Of a mucous

MARSHALL FIRE-swEPT.
The Saline County City Suffers a
Severe Loss = Inadequate Fire
Protection Loss, 100000,

MARSHALL, Mo-, July 1s.-The ex-
pected has happened and Marshall, up
against big fire and insufficient
water supply to fight the flames, yes
terday saw whole block Of her best
business buildings, with most Of the
contents, destroyed. The fire that
broke out in the New York Store on
the southwest corner of the square at
noon Wednesday and ragged until 1t
was gotten under control, about two
hours later, proved to be the most de-
structive that Marshall has expert
enced, at least for the past quarter Of
a century, and for a time seriously
threatened to involve half the city in
ruin.
The fire company, assisted by a vol
unteer company from Slater which
was carried here by a special G. s. A.
train In thirteen minutes, did heroic
work and there were several prostra-
tions.
THE LOSSES.
The losses to the business men Of
the city will probably foot up to sl21,- =
600. The principal damage is divided
as follows:
New York Store building, two-story
double brick, owned by Mrs. Wood,
valued at $4,000, total loss; insur-
ance, $1,000.
New York Store stock Theodore
Mayor, manager, thinks the stock will
invoice about $4,000, total loss; insur-
ance, $4,000. This is as near as can
be estimated without consulting the
invoice book and policies. The safe
was closed before the building was
abandoned, and it is hoped that It's
contents are all right. Robert Ewell
entered the building and secured the
invoice book after the store was full
Of smoke.
P. II. Rea Implement CO., building
owned by P. II. Rea, two-story brick,
valued at $4,000, total loss; insurance,
81, ,000
P. Fl. Rea Implement Co., stock
valued at s35, 600. Stock on first floor,
mainly samples, was saved. This firm
occupied the rooms over three build
ings. About 107 vehicles stored in
these upper rooms we're lost, in addi-
tion to farming implements. Total
loss probably $4,000; insurance, sl2,-
600.
Two buildings of @. G.. Page and oc-
cupied by Hanson s. Link, valued at
$1,000, total loss; insurance, $500.
G. N. Hanson's stock of carpets,
ETC., in above, was valued at $4,000. A
large part Of this was removed; insur-
ance, $1,000.
Murphy-Mills Clothing Co., occu-
pied building owned by d. L. Cooper,
Immediately west Of the New York
Store, across the street, damaged to
the amount Of $500; fully covered by

but total insurance on it is $4,000.

York Store, owned by S. d. Martin,
was considerably damaged.

bly, damaged; no insurance.

rors, the gliding, the velvet carpets OF
many apartment and boarding houses.
Tie head of the lace department in
great store recently spent her two
weeks vacation in a hospital. She
laughed at the idea of being ill or even
nervous; but she was tired, and for ten
years had not slept In a real bed. In
one apartment house, in order to keep
her room fitted to receive callers, she
slept on a sofa that opened in the mid
die, and had neither sides nor foot
board. Six out of seven nights the COW
ers pulled off her feet. At another
place her folding bed fell on her and
nearly killed her, so she traded it for
narrow divan, from which pillows and
blankets slipped nightly. At the hos
pital she finally found a bed wide
enough to sleep in crosswise, bed by
day as we'll as by night, bed tuck
able, with a bolster and counterpart;
and she stayed in it for two weeks. In
countless cases the make-believe bed Is
the symbol of a sham and comforuess
existence for which apartment life Is
largely responsible.
