WEST END BLAZE
Barn Destroyed Sunday Morning and
Also Run on Account of
Weeds on the Bluff
Becoming lgnited.

Between Saturday night and Sun
day night the fire department had
three calls, two for fires of little con-
sequence and the last one for a still
alarm on account of burning weeds
and brush.
The fire of Saturday evening at
about 1880 O'Clock was at Twenty
fourth and Burk streets, out in Mes
sengerville and too far out for the
department to do much good.
The one story frame house occupied
by John Johnson, colored, was on fire
and by the time the department got
out there the house was too far gone
to be saved. The chemical engine
saved the chicken house from being
burned and saved the chickens.
johnson lost nearly everything in
tle house, being able to save but few
articles of furniture and the house was
entirely burned up. Besides the funi
ture, SIS in money was in the house
and was destroyed.
Johnson was away from home al
the time, being out to take some eggs
to a neighbor and while returning
home saw the blaze of his home or
fire.

.Fhtu'eney Or Wind
On Stomach
As is is Commonly Named,
Means That Decaying Food
is Making Gas.

This almost serious condition is
very prevalent and results most dis
tresingly and fatally oftentimes. The
stomach in cases of flatulency is un.
able to digest the food properly. De-
cay sets in, gases form, extend the
stomach, force their way downward
into the bowels. and if not relieved it
extends upward pressing against the
lungs, liver and heart belching, foul
odors and many times sudden death
Foods which are filled with gases,
when taken into deranged stomach
causes. latulency rapidly. Vegetables
being especially given to this quality.
Against such a condition the stomach
can do but little, because these foul
and poisonous gasses affect it's glands,
muscles and tissues to such degree
as to incapaciate 1t almost at once.
These gases distend the stomach in
all directions, preventing the contract
ing muscles from doing their regular
duties, or If they do force the gas
from the stomach 1t goes elsewhere in
the system with even more harassing
results, and when the decaying mass
sun remains to generate more gases.
The most effective methods for allay
ing fatulency is to remove the cause
OF gas making. An emetic will dc
thls but the stomach will have the
same trouble the moment new foods
enters it.

Nervous
Pr0stra alton

Il suffered so with Nervous
Prostration that | thought there
was no use trying to get we'll. A
friend recommended DR.. Miles
Nervine, and although skeptical
at first, l soon found myself re-
covering, and am to-day we'll"
MRS. D. |. JONES,
$500 Broadway, Cleveland, Q.
Much sickness is of nervous
origin. It's the nerves that
make the heart force the blood
through the veins, the lungs
take in oxygen, the stomach di-
gest food, the liver secrete bile
and the kidneys filter the blood.
II any of these organs are weak,
it is the fault of the nerves
through which they get their
strength. DR.. Miles Nervine is
a specific for the nerves. 1t
soothes the irritation and assists
in the generation OF nerve force.
Therefore you can hardly miss
it if you take DR.. Miles Nervine
when sick. Get a bottle from
your druggist. Take it all &C
cording to directions, and if it
does not benefit he will return
your money.

GERMAN EXPERIMENTS
ON ELECTRIC FARMING

Berlin. June 2S.-Emperor Will
lam Is backing a series OF expert
ments In electrical farming" which
hte originator or innovation, DR..
Hoechstermann. stated today he be-
lieves will revolutlonize all agricul-
ture and horticultural industries.
Partial details of the plan were
made known today. The fields in
which the experiments are being
made are strung with a network of
wires, bearing a moderate electric
current The atmosphere and the
earth are saturated with the. cur
rent, which f. provided by a 100000
volt plant. and IL is claimed that
all plants grow and mature more
rapidly under this stimulation.
Hoechstermann claims also that
the yield of electricized land is pro-
portionately greater than the yield
of land cultivated under ordinary
conditions. The current, he says
does away with the necessity of fer
tilizer, renewing the soil at less ex-
pense than Is demanded by the cheap
e't methods now In vogue.
