AN INCENDlARY FIRE.
Superintendent Ferber Says Rubbish
in Cellar of Joseph BIrros' Lunch
Room Was Set Ablaze.

A fire which Superintendent Ferber,
of the bureau of fires, pronounces as
being of incendiary origin, broke out a
few minutes after . o'clock last night
in the cellar of n one-story building on
street, occupied by Joseph Burros, who
runs lunch room.
The fire broke out in a pile OF rubbish
in the middle of the cellar, and an
alarm was turned in by the young man
who was in charge. Mr.. Burros. as far
as could be learned. was not
about the place at the time. The fire.
men arrived in response to an alarm
from Box IL. and the blaze was eXtin-
guished with the chemicals before it
gained much headway. Permanent man
Campbell, of the Phoenix company,
tried the new smoke helmet recently
purchased and was able to penetrate
into the densest smoke without expert
encing any difficulty.
After the blaze had been cXtnguished
Superintendent Ferber looked over the
cellar, and announced after his investi-
cation that the blaze was of an in
cendiary origin.
This place was set on fire" said he.
There is no question about 1t in my
mind. There is no way that rubbish
could catch aiire unless it was ignited
with deliberate intent. There was no
fire of any kind near it and nothing Wis
ible that could have caused Il blaze
Mr.. Burros, who arrived on the scene
after the fire had been eXtinguished,
could offer no explanation as 10 it's

THE CHRISTMAS DINNER.

In spite of the fact that the word
dyspepsia means literally bad cook, it
will not be fair for many to lay the blame
on the cook if they begin the Christmas
dinner with little appetite and end it
with distress or nausea. 1t may not be
fair for any to do that-let us hope for
the sake of the cook! The disease dys-
pepsia indicates bad stomach, that Is a
weak stomach, rather than a bad COOK,
and for weak stomach there is nothing
else equal to Hoods Sarsaparilla. Ii
gives the stomach vigor and tone, cures
dyspepsia, creates appetite, and makes
eating the pleasure it should be.
