Clouds of smoke Could Be ElImi-
mated by Proper Firing.
According 10 the best authority, the
trailing clouds OF black smoke from mill
and factory that hang over so many
American cities, darkening the stmos-
phere and befouling the buildings. could
be eliminated II the scientific methods OF
constructing chimneys and stoking fur
naces that prevail in Germany were
adopted here.
It IS not every strapping Iaborer who
can shovel coal that is permitted to stoke

in that country must learn the theory
and practice of economical scientific fir

over the CRATE furnace as to secure the

BACTERIA AND HEAT.

Many persons have erroneous notions as

stroyed by heat. In fact. the thermal

Some forms of water bac lcria are killed
by simple blood heat. while pathOgeHic
bacteria are developed best at that tenn
perature. During their multiplying and
vegetating phase OF life bacteria are more
easily destroyed by heat than they are

In the production Harry Jenkins, the

SUNDAY AFTERNOONS FIRE.
Brisk Blaze on Noyes Place Calls Out
Firemen-Loss About $3.50.

The fire department was called out
at 1.43 Sunday afternoon by an alarm
from Box AZ at the corner of COny and
Bangor streets, due to brisk blaze
i'll the house at No. IL Noyes place
owned by r. J. Noyes of this city and
occupied by Miss Almeda Sibley as a
boarding house. The fire got good
start and would have made hot one
had it not been for the prompt work
by the fire department..
The cause of the fire is not known
but it evidently caught behind a
bureau in a chamber where it was To-
Gated and spread from that piece of
furniture to all parts of the room
burning the bureau, the mopboard, the
window castings, wall paper, etc, and
so great was the heat that it burst the
glass in the window. With the eXcep-
ton of a few pals of water which We're
thrown on the fire before the arrival
OF the department the blaze was kill
ed out by the use of chemicals. Not a
small amount of damage resulted from
smoking up the hallway. Mr. Noyes
estimates the loss at about $3.50, that
to the building being covered by in
surance in the Macomber. Farr &
Written agency. 1t is understood that
there was no insurance on the house

A curious incident in connection with
the fire was a predicament which befel
one of the boarders. The members of
the family were at dinner when the
fire was discovered Eand one of the
young men in the house hurried up
stairs to the scene of the trouble but
found the door to the room locked. In
trying to open it he kicked out one of
the lower panels and in doing 50 got
one foot caught by the splntered wood
in such a way that he had to have as
sstance before he could get free.

SENSIBLE HOBBY.
Well-known People Devote Spare
Time to Upbuiding Health.

Physical culture is getting to be
more and more of a hobby with many
people. who devote their spare time
not only to upbuilding their own physi-
cal health, but in preaching doctrine of
gbod health to others.
There is no excuse today for any
person. unless tainted with an incura-
bic disease, remaining sickly, with the
great advance in medical discoveries
and the growing popularity of physi-
cal culture.
In the diseases Of digestion and nutri-
ton, for example, an acknowledged
specific treatment has been found in
Mi-o-na. 1t is relied upon as a GER
tainty in relieving the worst troubles
of digestion and assimilation, and
making complete cure.
People suffering with headaches, pal
pitation, sleepleSsnesS, bad taste in the
mouth. coated tongue, distress after
eating, specks before the eyes, ner-
vouSneSs and general debility, and any
other of the many distressing results
of a weakened stomach, should profit
by the discovery of Mi-o-na stomach
tablets.
Bowditch, Webster & Co. have seen
so many cures by Mi-o-na of stomach
and general rundown state of health
that they are firm believers in the
power of this remedy to cure practical
~ every case, and they show this faith
by giving guarantee with every So
