New Officers Installed

On Thursday evening of last week
the members of the Grand Army and
of the Relief Corps with their friends
assembled at the conrt house to wit
ness the new officers of the former
body. This is an annual event in
which much interest is taken. E. j.
Freeman had charge of the work and
followed the form provided in the rit-
ual of the order. The names of those
installed have already appeared in
these columns. Messrs. Charles S.
White, the clerk of the courts, and
Attorney w. G. Elliott were called out

pertaining address. The women of the
Relief Corps then took charge of
affairs and served refreshments that
were both delicious and bounteous.
The court room was nicely decorated
with flags. The evening was one of
much pleasure to those who participa-
ted.

The Undertaken Or Mortician

Once on a time Fhen it was announc-
ed that some person had died, little
girl in our presence asked the ques-
tion who would undertake the body.
That seemed very amusing to those
who herd it and raised the question as
to the origin and use of that term for
that purpose. The older people will
remember that in the earlier days the
collins were made by mechanics but the
preparation of the body for burial
was left to some neighbor or friend of
the family. At times it was difficult
to get any one to do this; but some
one would finally consent to under
take it because it had TO be done.
Hence the use of the word "Undertak-
err" When embalming became the
custom the word embalmer was used.
More recently the term funeral direct
or has been substituted because he
takes charge of the funeral services
in a large measure. A few years ago
some one coined the word mortician
which means caring for the dead and
it has been adopted blythe Iowa Funer-
al Directors and also the National
Association. The word morticiar
seems to be term particularly appli.
cable to the man who cares for the
bodies of the dead.

One Scene Neve Forgotten

Wild excitement over a play has
not .equalled in recent years that
which was aroused in this country over
a play soon to be seen here, "The
Two Orphans" Tne sweet story of
the two sisters, one blind and helpless
and the other beautiful, but truly de-
voted to the sightless Louise, had
limitless interest and 1t still attracts
and holds attention as much as ever.
Nothing in all dramatic literature
exceeds in appeal 90 the human heart,
the arrival of the 1.-TWO Orphan Sis
tiers" in the City of Paris. The story
goes on showing people high and low,
mansions and haunts of crime, and all
the characters are SO strong that
once seen can never be forgotten.

CHILD SAVES LIVES
OF 100 IN N. Y.
TENEMENT
THRILLING ESCAPES FROM
DEATH MARK BLAZE-WOMEN
ARE TOSSED FROM ROOF TO
ROOF BY REscUERs.

NEW YORK, Aug. 6.-Cut on from
escape to the street by a flame and
smoke-fllled hallway. twentyfour fam
lilies, numbering $50 persons. in the
big six-story tenement at No. 80 Col
umbia-st.. were thrown into the Wild
est kind OF excitement early today
One man was probably fatally burned,
and scores OF women and children
were only saved from a similar fate
through thrilling rescues.
AT least fifty persons fled TO safety
across y fiye-foot air shaft separating
the tenement from No 81. In some
cases flying bridges" were resorted
10, the women being swung from the
arms OF man standing on the root
of the burning building to another
standing on the opposite side.
That whole families were not suf-
located or burned in the fire Is due 10
the presence OF mind OF an eleven
year Odd girl who gave the alarm and
notified the policeman on post OF the
blaze
The fire started in the confectionery
store of Solomon Balasch. on the
ground floor. Solomon was away for
the night. and left his brother David
in charge. David went 10 sleep in
the rear OF the store, leaving a tran
som open. The wind blew through
the transom, sending a curtain into a
gas flame. In a moment the fimsy
curtain hlazed up. sending a sheet OF
flame and a cloud Of smoke up the air
shaft
Rosie Cohen, eleven years old, who
lives with her parents on the first
floor was awakened By the smoke and
Immediately rushed downstairs 10 the
store. She banged on ne door and
tried 10 awaken David Balasch. but
the man had been overcome by the
smoke and was unconscious
The little girl then found Policeman
Lobell, who rushed to the quarters OF
Engine Co. IL, In East Houston-st.
When the fremen arrived the whole
house was In an uproar. The fire es-
capes were iilled with frantic women
clasping infants to their arms and
TO Jump to certain death.
Shouts OF the fremen -eassured them
and they held their positions until res
cued. Balasch was removed TO hos
pital in a dying condition. The fire
was gotten under control before the
flames spread above the third floor.

10 NOUN, anu nave little
reserve for emergencies"
OF course we know of per-
sons whose nature il is To
be thin-uborn that way" some say,
but there Is healthy standard by which
u person who kn0tcs himself can guage
his good health or poor health. Ii for
any reason he or she is below his or her
normal weight, then 10 n wise TO look
out for trouble. In case the germs Of
grippe, typhoid, or consumption gain an
entrance to the body they find fertile
field and develop Immediately. We can
only compare this sudden taking on of
disease germs by the thin body, TO the
fertile field which lays fallow until an
unfortunate wind carries the seeds Of
some wild and worthless plant there and
they quickly root and flourish. Almost
any grave change in health is ut once
= betrayed by the loss of flesh, which
shows most often in the face. This con-
dition almost always co-exists with i'm
poverished blood. A gain OF flesh up
to q certain point means rise in other
essentials Of health; the red corpuscles
OF the blood are increased, and the color
improved. When persons lind them
selves losing weight they should heed
the warning, and use the proper means
in time before disease fastens on them.
A tonic alternative is needed 10 digest
and assimilate the food.

companied with wasting of flesh, night

made entirely of botanical plants and
roots are best and safest for the system.
They are assimilated in the stomach and
taken up by the blood and are, therefore,
the most potent means which can be
employed for the regaining of lost
health. DR.. X. V. Pierce, consulting
physician TO the Invalids' Hotel and
Surgical Institute, at Buffalo, n. Y, in
many years of extensive practice, found
that he could pin his faith TO an altera-
tive extract Of certain plants and roots
for the cure of all blood diseases, and
for its effectual tonic influence upon the
system. This he called DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery.
The "Golden Medical Discovery" not
only builds up the strength of the feeble,
debilitAted, languid, nervous and easily
satigued, whether young or aged. but it
enriches and purifies the blood, thus
making the improvement lasting.
