From the Daily Item January 10.
A house b%elongiHng to Mr.. H D.
Barnett on Warren street and occu-
pied by Rev. Matthew Small was dis

in the roof, which was covered with
shingles made Of very fat pine, and it
burned with great rapidly. Dense
clouds of black smoke were coming
from the house when the fire depart
ment arrived. Three streams were
turned on the building, and by hard
and persistent work the lower portion
Of the dwelling was saved, though the
roof was almost entirely destroyed.
Mr.. Barnett showed his appreciation
Of the prompt arc efficient work rem
dered by the fremen by presenting
each team with a check for $500.
The house was fully covered by IN

The Grip.

aBefore we "a sympathize with
others, we must have suffered our
selves" No one can realize the suf-
fering attendant upon an attack OF
grip, unless he has had the actual ey-
perience. There is probably no dis
ease that causes so much physical aod
mental agony, or which so successful
ly defes medical aid. All danger from
the grip, however, may be avoided by
the prompt use Of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. Among the tens Of
thousands who have used this remedy,
not one case has ever been reported
that has resulted in pneumonia or
that has not recovered. For sale by
