Fifth Floor.

attracted, which for a time completely
blocked traffic on Broadway at that
point. The fremen were able to con-
fine the flames to the fifth floor and
the fire was quickly controlled. There
were not many guests in the hotel at
the time. and it is believed there was
no loss of life.
All the guests escaped uninjured.

There are some quite remarkable

Some persons would not believe that
a man could suffer from coffee drink

relief in changing from coffee to Pos

"My friends, and even the doctor,
told me 1t was drinking coffee that
caused the trouble. I would not be-
lieve it, and still drank coffee until 1
could not leave my room.
Then my doctor, who drinks Postum
himself, persuaded me to stop coffee
and try Postum. After much hesitation
I concluded to try it. That was eight
months ago. Since then l have had but
few of those spells, none for more than
four months.

appeal to the Wen-Informed in every

success and creditable standing. Accor-
ingly, it is not claimed that Syrup of Figs

why it is the best of personal and family
laxatives is the fact that it cleanses,
~weetens and relieves the internal organs
Oh which il acts without any facilitating

1t acts pleasantly and naturally and

Only One Pupil in School District.

Johnny Jergensen, II years of age,
probably couples the most peculiar posi-
ton of any pupil under the public school
system in the United States. He is the
only child of school age in the district
near Kettle Falls, Ferry county, Wash,
and has a teacher all to himself.
The instructor is NJ. r. Honexman,
formerly of Spokane. who took charge
of the school early this month. There
were three pupils at the beginning of
the term, soon after which the parents
of two of them moved out of the dis
trict. taking their children with them.
The district is regularly organized and
has a school board, with chairman, sec
rotary and treasurer.
It also has ample funds to its credit.
and in addition to this the state makes
an appropriation of cents school day
in the year for each pupil. This is the
highest appropriation of any state in the
Union.-Spokane Cor. Anaconda Stand

The city of Houston, Tex, has a mu-
nicipal dispensary representing an in
vestment of 1925, at wholesale figures.
There are two rooms-one 12x12, where
patients and persons needing medicine
are received, and one 6x12, where sup
plies are kept and prescriptions pre-
pared. A dispensary clerk, together
with the city health physician and an
other doctor. care for all those applying
for assistance. at a minimum cost. Com
missioner James A. Thompson, chief of
the health. water and light department,
is authority for the statement that,
whereas under the old method of con-
tracing with local druggists the city
bill for drugs used often to amount to
a month. now $50 will keep the supply
of drugs replenished for whole year.
At the same time people are kept out
of the hospital by little preliminary
care on the part of the city physician
with his dispensary; and whereas hos
pital bills-the city has no hospital of
its own-used to run between $500 and
$500 a month. now, by special care and
an arrangement with the Sisters hos
pital, whereby each patient costs only
$3.50 a month, the monthly limit of
$3.50 is never exceeded.
School children are vaccinated free,
except that fee of 10 cents is charged
for the vaccine point, and from 1000 to
