Communication.

Since the agent who conducts the
high school excursions to Washington
has already made her announcement to
the graduating ,class of 1910, it seems
the opportunity has arrived for the
parents to make a few remarks rela-
i've to the departure from the old es-
tablished custom of severing school
ties. There should be no criticism made
on the choice of the class but perhaps
some better arrangement can be made
that all pupils may share alike In
come cities it is customary for the
graduating class to give some form of
an entertainment to raise money to
help out the expenses but as the Chiz-
AN stand in that line, why should
not the proceeds each year be equally
divided between the Athletic .Asso-
citation and the graduating class? Not
all pupils are interested in athletics
and it gives each one a chance to Co
operate and make the fair of additional
interest.
Surely all parents will be glad to as
sist in the promotion Of any plan
whereby each graduate may be privi-
legged to share equal opportunities and
those who feel unable to meet travel
ling expenses which necessarily entail
Incidental cost in other lines will be
saved many family sacrifices from
Younger children that brother or sis
ter he saved humiliation in the eyes
Of fellow students.

TENEMENT Quilted.
Brisk Blaze Does $500 Damage ION
Florence Street Wednesday Evening.

The southern tenement of fhe double
tenement house, numbered 10 and 81
Florence street, owned by Thomas
Lynch and George Williams and oc-
cupied by Mrs Betsey A. RYDER and
the family of James Johnson, was
Quilted by fire which was discovered
shortly after o'clock Wednesday
evening The fire itself was confined
entirely to the tenement occupied by
the johnson family, but considerable
damage was done by smoke and water
in the other tenement The, damage
to the house will be in the neighbour
hood of 5000 and is partially covered
by insurance in the agency of Macom-
Der I'arr z. Written. 1t is understood
that some insurance was carried on
the furniture in the Johnson tenement
but little of which was saved. There
was no insurance on the furniture in
Mrs. Ryders tenement, but none of
that was damaged to any great extent.
Mrs. Ryder and her grandson Mas
ter Everett A. Garland, a young man
about ID years of age, We're alone in
their part of the house and the John
sons were absent from the house at the
time the fire was discovered An alarm
was pulled in by Young Garland at
1.13 from Box 81 at the corner of West
ern avenue and Amherst street.
The fire department made quick
run to the scene of the fire and under
the direction of Assistant Engineer
Hunt did good work in fighting the
flames. NeighbOis had broken open
the doors and succeeded in getting out
some of the furniture before the ar
rival of, the fire department. but the
flames had gained too much Roadway
to be successfully fought with any
thing except heavy hydrant streams
and even with the two lines of hose
which were laid it was hard fight
for short time.
The fire. which evidently originated
around the chimney had worked it's
way to the second floor when it was
discovered and after travelling along
the walls burst through the front side
and roof of the house before it was
finally eXtinguished. The all out was
sounded at s o'clock.
The Johnsons, who had gone out
early in the evening, returned to their
home about s o'clock and were greatly
surprised to find that the fire was in
their own house, for they had been in
formed on their way home that they
had no occasion for alarm as it was
the other tenement. which was on fire.
Mr.. johnson carried 5000 insurance on
his furniture, but that will hardly COW
or his loss

Health and Beauty Advice
BY MRS. MAE MARTINI,

Cora -: AS you have so much trouble
% make your hair stay up and look neat,
Try shampooing it twice month with
teaspoonful of canthrox dissolved in

1ne generally used by the best hair
iressers. 1t produces an abundant lather,

pleasing freshness. CanthroX makes
delightful shampoo and will make your
lair soft and fluffy. You will have little

Never use soap for shampooing, as it
