THE RESCUE BY WIRELESS.

Seven steamships caught the distress
message of the liner Republic in the
fog and went straight to her aid. Seven
hundred lives were saved by the wire
less telegraph. The wireless telephone
will presently eliminate costly long
distance lines, and chain of stations
on the great lakes will enable lake
steamers to be operated by dispatcher
from central Office like trains on a
railroad system. Truly, this is an age
Of wonders.

MISERY IN STOMACH.
And Indigestion vanishes in Fiy,
Minutes and You Feel Fine.

Why not start now-today, and for
ever rid yourself of stomach trouble and
indigestion? A dieted stomach gets the
blues and grumbles. Give it a good eat
then take Pape's Diapepsin to start the
digestive juices workings There will
be no dyspepsia or belching or gas or
eructations of undigested food; no feel
ing like lump of lead in the stomach
or heartburn, sick headache and dizzi-
ness, and your food will not ferment and
poison your breath with nauseous doors.
Pape's Diapepsin costs only so cents
for large case at any drug store here,
and will relieve the most obstinate case
OF indigestion and upset stomach in five
minutes.
There is nothing else better to take
gas from stomach and cleanse the stom-
ach and intestiaes, and besides, one
triangule will digest and prepare for
assimilation into the blood all your food
the same as. a sound, healthy stomach
would do it.
When Diapepsin works your stomach
rests-g is itself in order, cleans up
and then you feel like eating when you
come to the table, and what you eat will
do you good.
| Absolute relief from all stomach mis-
cry is waiting for you as soon as you
decide to begin taking Diapepsin. Tell
your druggist that you want Pape's
Diapepsin, because you want to be
thoroughly cured of indigestion.

In Baraga.
Stock OF Goods Owned BY VIM. Kitz 8
Co. Badly DAMAGED BY Fire
Tuesday.

Tuesday morning at 11:30 an alarm
of fire was sounded and the firemen and
citizens were again called upon to sup
press fire, this time in the VIM. Kitz
& Co.'S dry goods and clothing store.
How the fire originated is unknown, but
it was discovered by Herbey Greenblatt
son of John Greenblatt, manager of
store, and at the same time by brake
man of the south shore railroad, work.
ing on freight which was doing some
switching in the yard.
The Baraga Hose Company responded
to the alarm at once and quickly extin-
guished the flames with several streams
of water.
The fire started on the second floor,
in the store room where large stock
of goods are kept but how it started is
mystery nobody can solve, for no per-
son had been in the room that morning.
The work of the firemenis to be COM
mended, for the boys handled the
situation with rare skill and presence of
mind, their efficient service preventing
heavier loss on the stock and saving
the building from total destruction.
This is the first time that the fire de-
mon has visited VIM. Kitz & Co.'S store
since it has been in business in Baraga,
some twenty years. Their store being
an unusually crowded one and their
stock being the largest in the county,
the damage done by smoke and water
has been exceptionally large, and its
real extent will be known only after a
thorough investigation and inventory.
The household goods of Mr.. and Mrs.
Geenblatt, who occupy the second floor
of the building, were badly burned and
broken and will be practically total
loss.
The loss to the clothing stock is covered
by insurance. while the building, owned
by Louis Grabower, of Marquette, is
fully protected.

Lake Navigation Very Costly.

That navigation on the Great Lakes
is accompanied by terrible loss of life
and money is evidenced by short ta-
BILE showing the immense amount of
damage done in the year 1909 up to the
present time.
An incomplete table shows that 95
lives were lost and more than $2,000,-
0O0 worth of property was sacrificed to
the various elements of danger on the
lakes, such as fire, gales, collisions and
fogs. The period of greatest danger to
the lake vessels is still ahead, and
these figures may be greatly swelled
before the close of navigation. Fol-

Burdette on the Corner Loafer.
The following bit of philosophy by
the late Robert !. Burdette might be
applied to an element of humanity in
Barton without missing the mark:
MY son, follow not in the footsteps
of the loafer, and make no example of
him who is born tired, for verify l say
unto you, his business is overstocked.
The seats on the corner are all taken.
and the whiting places are all occu-
pied. 1t is better to saw wood at two
bits cord than whittle at whitlntg
match and abuse the government. My
son, whilst thou hast in thy skull the
sense of a jaybird, break away from
the cigarette habit, for 10, thy breath
stinketh like glue factory and thy
mind is less intelligent than a store
dummy! Yea, thou art cipher with
the rim knocked off.
