tenement house fire in Brooklyn. From

WRECkAGE OF STEAMER VAR.
MOUTH FLOATS ASHORE.
Part Of Crew Of Schooner, Driven
Before Gale, Are Rescued by
Life-Saving Crew.

London, Oct. 30.-Wreckage picked

ASTONlSHED THE DOCTOR
Old Lacy Got Well with Change Of
Food.

A great scientist has said we can put
off "old age' if we can only nourish the
body properly.
To do this the right kind of food, of
course, is necessary. The body manu-
features poisons in the stomach and
intestines from certain kinds of food
stuifs and unless sufficient of the right
kind Is used, the injurious elements
overcome the good.

to die.
II saw so much about Grape-Nuts
that I persuaded Grandmother to try
it. She could not keep anything on her
tomach for more than a few minutes.
"She began Grape-Nuts with only a
teaspoonful. AS that did not distress
her and as she could retain it, she took
little more until she could take all of
4 teaspoonfuls at meal.
Then she began to gain and grow
strong and her trouble in the stomach
was gone entirely. She got to enjoy
good health for one so old and we
know Grape-Nuts saved her life.
"The doctor was astonished that in
stead of dying she got WE'LL and with.

One Young Woman in Mad Frenzy
Jumps from Tenth Story of Build

Fall.

Cincinnati, Oct. 30.-More than a
soccer of people were injured, several
dangerously, by fierce fire in the IL
story Neave building, Fourth and Race
streets, during the noon hour Thurs
day. Although the fire was brought
under control within less than half
an hour after the flames were discov-
cred, that interval time encompassed
some of the most dramatic events
in local fire fighting annals. Peering
down through smoke and flame at the
hurrying firemen more than a score
of women crouched on the broad win
dow lodges to escape the flames burst
ing out in the Offices behind them.
Below, fire ladders, life nets and all
manner of other life-saving apparatus
were being prepared for such as might
leap from the horror of fire to the al.
most certain death on the street be-
low. One young woman, crazed by
fear tore herself free from restraining
friends and jumped from a tenth floor
side window.
Wild Panic Increases.
The panic was increased by
the sight of bursting fire hose and it
caused several girl employees to leap
from the windows. The fire started
on the sixth floor, the flames soon
bursting from the windows. Five
times the hose burst and this sight
added to the panic of the girls who
had appeared at the windows and as
high as the eighth floor, many of them
could be seen preparing to leap to the
ground when the firemen arrived The
corner is one of the busiest in the re-
tail section and the street was quick
ly clogged with the crowd so that for
time there was difficulty in fighting
the fire.
Miss Louise Boutte, a dressmaker,
employed on the tenth floor, leaped
from window on that floor to an adj
joining roof on the fifth floor level and
was badly hurt. The fire broke out
in the Offices of the Pittsburg Calcium
Light Company on the fourth floor,
spreading quickly to the offices of the
Pattern Makers league.
FLAMES WORK havoc.
AS the flames and smoke poured
out of the windows of the fourth, fifth
and sixth floors many of the girls en-
ployed in the building appeared at
the windows and seemed about to
jump. A number threw coats out and
then craw1ed out on the broad win
dow lodges where they lay flat while
the flames burst through the windows,
scorching the women painfully. At
least ten suffered painful injuries in
this manner while one of the firemen
was seriously hurt by a two-story fall

men brought the fire under control
within few minutes and the panicky
occupants of the building were then
brought out to safety.
Although the panic seemed to cease,
of the $50 girls in the Dunleavy dress
making establishment on the tenth
floor, one, Louise Boutte, jumped.
She was taken to the city hospital
where her injuries were reported to
be very serious.
