A Criminal Horror.

AS the facts concerning the details
of the Iroquois theatre tragedy come
to light, utter uselessness of the holo-
czust grows more and more apparent.
What at first blush seemed TO be mere
negligence is rapidly assuming the
form of criminal carelessness-
It Is now claimed that.
The ushers and doorkeepers block
ed the exits and prevented many
from making their escape.
That the asbestos curtain had been
tested only a short time before the
fire and found to be defective. An
employe testifes that it would not
work because there was a plank in
the way: that he called attention to
the obstruction and was laughed at
for his pains
That the skylights above the stage
would not open because they were
wired shut. An emplOye of the Full
er Construction company went on the
roof after the fire, and forced them
open with crowbar.
This testimony, if corroborated
should fix large part ofthe respons-
ibiIity. The truth is, the theatre
should not have been opened to the
public until the workmen had re
moved all scaffolding, and tested ev-
cry appliance. But the desire to reap
the golden harvest OF holiday sea-
son proved too much for the owners.
And over 500 lives were sacrificed to
the worship of Mammon.- Toledo

there was applause, but the vote
of Hamilton county aroused still more

QUESTION ANSWERED.

Yes, August Flower still has the largest sale
OF any medicine in the civilized world. Your
mothers and grandmothers never thought of
using anything else for Indigestion or Bilious
ness. Doctors were scarce. and they seldom
heard of Appendicitis. Nervous Prosiration
or Heart Failure. etc. They used August
Flower To clean out the system and stop
fermentation Of undigested food. regulate
the action Of the liver. stimulate the nervous
and organic action Of the system. and that is
all they took when feeling dull and bad with
headaches and other aches. You only need a
dose Of Green's August Flower, In liquid
form. to make you satisfied there is nothing
serious the matter with you. You can get this
reliable remedy at

old age as IL comes in the orderly process
Of Nature Is "A beautiful and majestic thing.
The very shadox Of eclipse which threatens

That IS old age as IL should be. But old age
As IL 50 often IS means nothing but second
childhood Of mind and body. What makes the
difference; Very largely the care of the
stomach. In youth and the full strength OF
manhood IL doesn't seem to matter how we
treat the stomach. We abuse IL. overwork if.
inj1re. We don't suffer from It much. But
when age comes the stomach is worn out. IL
can't prepare and distribute the needed
nourishment to the body. and the body. un-
