FIRE SUNDAY
W. I. Craddock's Residence on East
Promenade Street Burned to the
Ground-very Little Furni-
ture Saved-Wm Rebuild.

The residence OF W. L. Craddock
on East Promenade street, was com
pletely destroyed by fire between s:3I
and 0 o'clock Sunday morning.
The blaze originated from a defec
tive kitchen flue, and before the fir,
department arrived the flames were
beyond control. A portion Of Tho
household goods n the ground fiooi
was saved, but that which was In The
second story was burned. Mr.. Grad
dock carried sl,7O0 insurance on the
building and household goods. &c
will rebuild in the spring.
The time lost In getting to this fire
and In giving the alarm shows more
than ever the absolute necessity fol-
an organized and thoroughly equipped
fire department. When the fire was
first discovered the fact was at once
telephoned to the central telephone
Office, and the operator at the board
Immediately dropped all other calls
and devoted her time to the fremen
and city hall. After several fruitless
attempts to raise anybody at the hall,
she then called McKinley's Bakery
and requested them to ring the alarm.
With two OF more tiremen in the
city hall all the time, and a means
of transportation at hand for the hose
cart, all this dangerous delay would be
eliminated and Mexico citizens would
have the fire protection for which they
pay.

THE HANDSPRING
on Life
No One Can be Strong With a Weak
Stomach - Woodbridge & Purdy
Tell How it May be Strength
ened.

The stomach is the handspring Of
life. When it is strong and acts per-
fectly, then the whole system is right,
assimilation is perfect, and body and
brain are thoroughly nourlshed.
Mi-o-na is a pleasant remedy to use
and benefit is seen from almost the
the first days treatment. 1t restores
the torpid glands and stimulates the
natural digestive secretions. 1t
checks fermentation, stops germ
growth, soothes Inflammation, and
cures all troubles, such as headaches,
backaches, rheumatic pains, furred
tongue, sleeplesness, nervousness and
general debility, which are caused by
imperfect digestion.
1t is the only remedy that Is 80 uni
formly successful In the cure OF stom'
ach diseases that Woodbridge & Purdy
are willing to give a guarantee with
every so cent box Of Mi -o-na tablets
that the remedy will cost nothing un,
less it cures. They have so much
faith in Mi-o-na that they are willing
TO take all the risk.
