the reason so many people remain thin

Masonic Temple at Guthrie Caught
Fire in Basement.

Guthrie, o. T., Feb. 10-The Masonic
temple was discovered to be on fire at
o'clock this morning and had it not
been for the prompt assistance of the
firemen the big building would today
probably be a mass Of ruins or at least
a serious fire might have resulted that
would have entailed considerable of a
loss to the Masonic fraternity. Custo-
dian league Ray, who sleeps in the
building. was awakened by smoke pour
ing into his bed room and at once turned
in an alarm. The fire was discovered
to be in the furnace room of the base
ment where large pile of ashes had
been carelessly thrown near the wall
and from the hot ashes the wood had
caught fire. When the department ar
rived the fire was burning briskly and
had reached the rafters. The chemical
was applied and the flames soon ex-
tiEguished with but slight loss to the
building.
