F1REMEN DIE FIGHTING FIRE
Steamer Saxon Burned Mt Her Dock
at Philadelphia One Man
Drowned and One Missing.

Philadelphia, Dec. s.-One fireman
was drowned, another is missing ant
Two others were taken to hospital
overcome by smoke as the result OF
the fire which broke out on the Bos.
ton and Philadelphia Steamship
company's Saxon early Saturday
morning. The steamship lies in a5
feet of water at the foot of Pine
street burned to the waters edge.
The dead fireman is William Sc
vile, who went into the hold of the
vessel to fight the flames. Before he
could reach the deck of the Saxon
the vessel gave lurch and Seville
was caught in the rush of water and
drowned. Another fireman who was
in the hold is missing and it is feared
he, too, was drowned. All other fire
men have been accounted for.
The fire was not extinguished I'M
til nine o'clock in the morning. Div
ers are now in the hold of the vessel
searching for the bodies of Seville
and the other fireman. 1t is not
known how the fire originated. The
loss on the Saxon is about $4,000.

BALLooN-NG AS A TONIC.
DR.. Naugier. n French Physician, De-
clares Air Voyages Benefit
Anaemfcs,

DR.. Naugier asserted at the latest
meeting of the academy of medicine
at Paris that experiments he has
made demonstrate that balloon
ascension acts on the human system
as the most powerful tonic known.
A two hours voyage in the air, he
declared, caused astonishing multi
plication of the red corpuscles IN the
blood and that condition persists for
ten days after an ascension. Five
such excursions, he averred, are moro
beneficial to an anaemic-that is, a
person whose blood is thin and wa.
terry, or a consnmptive-than So
journ of three months in the noun
tains.
Dir. Naugier believes that the good
effect begins to be felt Immediately,
and that a heightened stay In the
air is only detrimental in causing
nervous irritation. The municipal
council will be asked to provide a
large balloon, one capable of taking
up in the upper air daily so patients,
or children who are toe poor to af-
ford q change of climate.

out from behind the clouds +,o
shade from the awnings was found
grateful. On Friday the signs that
the tropics had been entered We're
unmistakable.
When Mr.. Pence awoke about three
o'clock Tuesday morning he was
much alarmed. He was certain that
something serious had happened. An
unearthly silence prevailed. The en-
gines had stopped, and save for the
faint buzz of the electrical machin-
cry there was no sound on the
shark" The boat had lost all mo-
ton. 1t no longer rose and fell to
the heaving of the seas.
Mr.. Pence hurriedly dressed and
went on deck. A seaman was nae
ing back and forth on the after
deck. Mr.. Pence looked out over the
port side of the yacht A huge wall
of rock lowered almost over his
head. In the light of the nascenS
moon, the Shark seemed to rest
in the center of vast amphitheater
OIL beetling rocks and crags. Here
and there he could make out the
form of a palm, and to his ears
came the distinct sound of falling
water, as of cascade. To the east
the cliffs threw long shadow over
the lake in which the yacht was an
chored. The moon had just scaled
the highest peak, and the effect was
of Understandable beauty. But the 81
lence was oppressive. The heavy
breathing of Mr.. Vincent, as it pen
etrated from the deck below, was a
relief, and after one reassuring
glance at the placid scene Mr.. Pence
went below and soon was sleeping
the sleep of the just.

a
Queer
Law Case

The daily papers not long ago
reported a trial case where a man
sued a medicine concern which had
offered a hundred dollars for a
case their remedy could not cure.
1t seems that the man had not
been cured, though he had taken
the remedy. The defence was
that he had not taken the medicine
long enough. He did not get his
hundred dollars.
We allude to this because Vinol
does not give slippery guarantee.
We sell it on its merits and
leave it to the user. If the user
comes back with his empty bottle
and says: "I took that bottle of
Vinol, and I can't see that it did
me any good" we don't argue
the matter. We say, or our clerk
says, "Sorry that. you happen to
be among the few here's your
dollar "
The few! They are very few
less than one out of hundred,
according to the experience.
Vinol is a scientific non-secret
compound of cod liver oil (greatest
medicinal food. known), organic
IRON Orion that can be taken up into
the blood and used), and a mild
table wine. 1t is pleasant to take.
