WINDOWS BLAMED.
forty-Four Per Cent. of Fire Iosse~ s.,,
 to be Due to Them,

Ho"r Fer Cent of Fire Losses Said
 to be Due to Them.
 Washington. D. C.. Saturday-Tbs I,,a, national Society of Building Commissioners mas Kept most careful tab on the fires of tne last year. and in a recent bul,etin r,oI,o the statement that A per cent. of all ths itre iosses or the year are directly attribu, aoie to the lack of proper window protec- ton. p'''ec-
 Flre originates in one building but cannot DC conIineo there. and its travel is made easy by mems of the window route ,o ev- cry building in the neighborhood. Further 50 per cent of all the damage done in build ings In which fire did not have it's origin IS the fault of insufficient window protec- ton. " Tire like that of San Francisco nearly 100 per cent. of teh damage is direct " attributable to that same cause. for in that case it is known there were but four teen separate and distinct fires occurring in the city on that memorable morning
 Had the adjacent buildings been made in vulnerable by protected windows those fires would have been confined in the structures in which they had their origin and would have resulted in but insignificant blazes. Surely, 1t is declared. Is this matter of prop eriy protecting windows an important one,
 Shutters and the usual automatic closing affairs constitute but makeshift protection at best The one assured and universal ly approved system of window protection is a metai or lncombustlble sash filled with wire glass and where the danger is par ticularly great, narrow alleys, etc, there should be two thicknesses of wire glass 1t is recommends
 The commission finds also, that seventy egiht per cent. of all the damage done in buildings where fire originated was caused by open stairways and elevators permitting g the rapid spread of fire throughout every part of the structure New buildings should be equipped with brick or hollow tile fire proof enclosures. and where these may be difficult to place about elevators and stairs in old buildings then light iron frames and wire glass enclosures can be so placed at lit tie cost. and there afford splendid protec- tion it is declared.

MISS HUI DA kUGHLER

3hsre is . beauty and attractive aess in health which is far greater than mere regularity of feature.
 A sickly, irritable, and complaining woman always carries Q cloud of Repression with her; she is not only Snhappy herself but is a damper to Sll joy and happiness when with her family and friends.
 It is the bright, healthy, vivacious woman who always charms and carries sunshine wherever she goes. ss If . woman finds that her energies are Tagging and that everything tires her; if her feminine system fails to perform its allotted duties, there is nervousness, sleeplessness, faintness, backache, headache, bearing down peins, and irregularities, causing constant misery and melanchofia, ahe should remember that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound xnade from native roots and herbs will dispel all these troubles. By correct inr the cause of the trouble 1t cures where other treatment may have tailed.

Rradstreet,. Review.


 New York, July 12-Bradstreets to-
 morrow will say ,as Continued favorable weather, coupieo with improvement in recorder business with tobbers, and in payments on past business. give more optimistic tone to the general situation than seemed
 nossible a month ago. That some trade was lost for this season Is, or course certain as is the fact that reduction
 sales have been necessary to move
 some slow selling goods. but 1t IS not ed that cotton goods have agaih been advanced. that dress fabrics are selling better and mems wear wooien and cloth from the dealers take a more cheerful view of the outlook Telegrams to Bradstreets show the | effect of midsummer conditions in many | lines, but fall shipments have begun | in larger volume than a year ago, ana | where the crop outlook is defined there 1 is a slightly more pronounced d1sposi- | tion to buy more freely for future oe- | livery.
 The leading industries note great ac- | tiyity with summer shut downs limited | by the desire of manufacturers to eaten ! up with orders. Building Is less act | i've at some centers, but of record vol l ume at other cities. and prices Of lum- l Der and other materials reflect some | irregularity.
 | Manufacturers in the East are dis- l playing still more interest in the wo"' | market and sales are reported very | large. Primary markets in the West are l reported well cleaned up.
