For Relief of Chelsea Fire Sufferers

The State police began a prelimi-
nary investigation, Friday, of the
causes leading up to the fire IN Chel-
sea, Sunday, April 12, and of the re
ports that there was considerable in
cendiarism in various parts Of the
city, during the progress Of the fire.
The new system Of relief through
the State militia worked satisfactOri-
ly, persons in the long line at the high
school building and other places hav-
ing their needs supplied rapidly and
yet systematically.
The State military authorities or
dered out an extra detail Of militia
for Sunday and Monday when large
crowds of sight seers were expected.
The tenth body recovered from the
ruins was uncovered in a cellar near
the corner Of Gerrish avenue and
Broadway about noon today. Like
several of the others it was burned
beyond recognition and was sent to
the morgue in Boston for possible
identification.
The police fear that further search
in the hundreds Of cellars will disclose
Il
large one.
1t is expected that as soon as the
streets have been thoroughly cleared
the authorities will make an effort to
search the cellars
An urgent appeal for money, food
and clothing and a statement that the
losses and needs of the sufferers are
greater and more widespread than
was at first supposed has been issued
by the State relief comm ittee through
its treasurer, Major Henry l.. Higgin-
son. The appeal states "Citizens,
men and women, are working dill
gently to relieve the needs and to
comfort the sufferers. Food and
clothing have flowed in, and money
has come in gentle stream. 1t is a
new experience to many people to be
hungry and cold, even for one day,
and it is a bitter experience to be
homeless. Men can bear such trials
for themselves, but dread them for
their women and children. Cold and
hunger are terrible and very few citi.
zens of Massachusetts have passed
the night out of doors without bed
clothing. All of these evils are great
to she sick and to babies just born.
1.-THE committee appointed by the
governor to take charge of the needs
of the sufferers is excellent and is
hard at work; it has appointed the
best and most experienced agents
who are giving their whole time and
thought to the task and will do it as
well as it can be done.

A Good Thing and Nothing to Pay

Just see what DR.. Greene offers to
do for all weak and suffering people.
He is the most successful living
specialist in curing nervous and
chronic diseases. His unparalleled
offer to consult with anyone, free of
charge, by letter correspondence is
doing wonderful good. If you have
any complaint which you DO not
thoroughly understand, and which
you would like cured, write the Doc
tor letter stating just how you feel
and what symptoms trouble you. He
will answer it, giving complete
description Of your case, explaining
the meaning of every symptom, and
telling how you can surely get well
and strong. He gives most careful
attention 10 each letter, and explains
your case 80 thoroughly that. you
understand exactly what ails you.
All this costs nothing, you have no
doctors fees to pay, and you don't
have to leave your home. The Doc
tor makes a specially OF treating
patients through letter correspon-
dence, and they nearly always get
well. He is the disCoverer Of that
wonderful medicine, DIR. Greene's
Nervura blood and nerve remedy
Write to him at his office, "a Temple
Place, Boston, Mass. and you will
undoubtedly be made strong and
well.

We will give Mrs. Mary G. Eddy
credit for being all right on the war
question, for this is what she says:
For many years l have prayed
daily that there be no more war, no
more barbarous slaughtering of our
fellow beings; prayed that all the
people on earth and the islands of
the sea have one God, one mind; love
God supremely, and love their neigh
Dor as themselves.
National disagreements can be, and
should be, arbitrated wisely, fairly;
and fully settled.
1t is mquestionable, however, that
at this hour the armament of navies
is necessary, for the purpose of pre-
venting war and preserving peace
among nations.

The following card of thanks, pub
lished in an exchange, tells its own
story:
81 wish to return my heartfelt
thanks to the many friends and neigh
bors who SO generously assisted me
in the great loss of my wife"
That is about as bad as the card of
an Augusta gentleman who thanked
his friends and neighbors for "the
kindly assistance given him in the de-
struction of his house by fret"
A farmer who has had considerable
experience gives it as his opinion that
feed will be slow in growing the pres
ent spring, and that 1908 will be a
poor crop year. He therefore recon-
mends the planting of more than
the usual amount of corn and other
fodder crops SO as to tide over any
shortage. Whatever the season may
turn out to be, that is always good
advice. And then let US add, every
good and progressive farmer ought to
have silo.
