Serge is recognized more and more
every year as the ideal fabric for sum-

its growing popularity has come an
effort to supply serge suits at, such
low prices that quality and color both
suffer, and the buyer of these cheap

ment. For this reason, when you come

to go to reliable store, such as that

READ IN HIS NEWSPAPER.


George Schaub, a well known German
citizen of New Lebanon, Ohio, is con-
slant reader of the Dayton Volkszei-
tung. He knows that this paper aims
to advertise only the best in its COL
umns, and when he saw Chamberlain's
Pain Balm advertised therein for lame
back, he did not hesitate in buying a
bottle of it for his wife, who for eight
weeks had suffered with the most
terrible pains in her back and could
get no relief. He says: ''After using
the Pain Balm for few days my wife
said to me, Il feel as though born
anew, and before using the entire con-
tents of the bottle the unbearable
pains had entirely vanished and she
could again take up her household
duties.'' He is very thankful and
hopes that all suffering likewise will
hear of her wonderful recovery. This

FIRE AT THE STEVENSON TRES
TIE.
MERCHANT GoULETT AND NEIGHBORs
DO HEROIC WORK.

Last Friday night about midnight
L. Goulett was awakened by the loud
barking of his dog. In looking about
for the cause he found that the trestle
work had been ignited by the sparks
from an engine. After working
about five hours with 10 men they sue
ceeded in extinguishing the fire. 1t
burned about 30 feet of ties and string
ers before the fire was extinguished.
The water used was drawn up with
pals and ropes from the ravine 10 feet
below, which made the task long and
arduous one. The railroad company
put force of men to work Immediate
~ to repair damages, and by 2 O'Clock
Saturday afternoon, the road was in a
condition to be used. All the morning
trains went around by the way Of
