ANOTHER FIRE
AT ALI ARADO

OAKLAND, April Half the town
Of Alvarado was wiped out of existence
tonight for the second time within a
year. Eight buildings. all stores save
one, were burned to the ground, and
the structure containing the postoffice
and the office of the telephone company
was only saved by tearing down a
small building between it and the fire.
The fire started at o'clock in the
second story of the building owned by
Tony Davilla, the first floor of which
is occupied as a saloon and the second
as a residence. A gasoline stove ex-
ploded and set fire to the frame struc-
ture. The flames spread to the old
church, now occupied by a couple of
barber shops, then to Tony Lees resi-
dence and then to the store of F. E.
Vargas, on the corner. This was quick
ly burned, and the fire rapidly licked
up the drug store of Charles Wenlxle,
which had recently been remodeled and
refitted.
BY this time all of Alvarado and
half of the country round about had
collected and was trying to fight the
fire. There was no fire department and
no apparatus save some garden hose
To save the postoff1ce and telephone Of
fee a small frame building that was
standing between the fire and the
building by these two was razed to the
ground and the fire was checked.
The loss will run between $4,000 and

LITTLE BOY BLUE.
His Mother Blows His Horn.

A lady living in Illinois writes about
food to friend whose little girl has a
delicate stomach, and we are privileged
to quote from her letter:
THE best way to advise you in little
Bessie's case is, feel, to tell you what
did for my little boy Blue He was,
like your daughter, very fond OF white
the everyday table. His appetite seem
ed good and he ate freely, but, like lit
tie Bessie, he didn't seem to get the
proper amount of nourishment out of
his food. was puny in body and, lack
ing strength, was peevish and half sick
most of the time.
II was very much worried about him,
because 1 couldn't find the right sort
of food for flinl--the ordinary breakfast
foods didn't seem to answer. At last, a
few months ago, I determined to try
Grape Nuts. + confess I was almost in
despair, and had but little hope that it
would prove any better than the other
prepared foods
THE result WAS most surprising. Boy
Blue took to the Grape Nuts food and
1t did him good from the beginning. He
has gained steadily in weight, strength
and good spirits, and has taken on a
complexion like a wild rose. His eyes
fairly dance with health and happiness
his peevishness is all gone.
"Then husband and / both began to
eat Grape Nuts food. and with the best
Of results. He finds 1T especially bene-
f1cfal as a brain food. You know that
one with his sedentary habits needs
something specially adapted to. such
conditions-nluch nourishment In small
hulk. He finds 1t in Grape Nuts food,
and he says he does better work since
he began to eat it than ever before.

guarantee the results" Name given by

APRIL FOOLS
Are PLENTIFUL
Gallant Captain Petersen
Rescues a Straw Dummy
From the Wheels of a Car
CITY TREASURY ROBBED
Baited Coin Sacks Tempt
Several City Employees
From Paths of Rectitude

San Francisco had something new
yesterday-an April fools day hero.
His name is Captain Herman Petersen
OF the lumber schooner Jennie johnson,
which is a translation of Yennie Yon-
son.
He was out on Fillmore and Haight
streets last night. Just as he was about
to tack across the street he saw
PROSTATE figure lying on the track.
humping yimminey, what yag,"
muttered Herman
A Fillmore street car came careening
madly down the hill. "Ahoy!" shouted
Herman. Back water. Port your helm.
Man overboard,''
But the motorman had been against
the game before. The car whirled on.
Was Herman going to see a human be-
ing transformed into wienerwurst be-
fore his very eyes. No. shiver his tim
bers. blast his toplights-him to the
rescue.
He caught the helpless victim by the
shoe, and the car caught him amid
ships. When he revived in an adjacent
corner grocery they showed him the
scarecrow he had tried to save from
disaster
Il tank go back to the Yennie Yon-
son." said Herman. Some one ban
yoshing me-"
Among those who bit at the old hy-
drant gag was Mr.. Jack Johnsing. He
was asked by a small bunch of human
ity to help lift a bundle of wood near
the corner of Eighth and Market
streets.
Jack lifted. He lifted again Then
he got down on his knees with a long
pull and a strong pull, and the hydrant
loosened, turning upon the chocolate
colored gladiator shower bath. While
the fountain spurted "Mistah Johnsing"
chased the kid. He is chasing him yet.
Nobody around the City Hall would
take red-hot stove, but Treasurer Nc
Dougald found out yesterday that some
people who live under the shadow of
the bronze lady on the dome would
take almost anything else.
A coin sack filled with lead was laid
on a counter. 1t looked as though some
one who had been overcome by weari-
ness had left it for the janitor to sweep
out in the morning. There were lots
Of people willing TO save the garbage
carts the trouble of hauling the filthy
stuff to the crematory.
The first to fasten his optics on the
bag was an elderly gentleman of fam
ily He slid the coin into his pocket
and started down the hallway. April
fool" shouted some one. The old fell
low dropped the sack and ran.
II can't tell the names of the people
who tried to get the SACK said Nc
Dougald, but I'll tell you 1 was sur
prised." There were nearly a hundred
municipal employees whose eager
--mitts" clutched the bag.
1t was a bad day all around for the
unwary. The Morgue got all sorts of
orders to call for corpses that are hard
ly due for several years. Mob Hill resi-
dences were earnestly requested to call
Cowboy Mag to the phone. only her
saloon number being given.
Biscuits were stuffed with cotton bat
ting, candies were peppered and the
free lunches were unsafe. All sorts Of
innocent viands were doctored. The
adage that a sucker is born every min
ute was proven all day. The purse on
a string and the brick in hat claimed
their victims regularly.
