The Pure Food Law.

Secretary Wilson says: "One of the objects of the law is to inform the consumer of the presence of certain harmful drugs in medicines" The law requires that the amount of chlo. roform, opium, morphine, and other habit forming drugs be stated on label of each bottle. The manufacturers of Chamberlain Cough Remedy have al- ways claimed that their remedy did not contain any of these drugs, and the truth of this claim is now fully proven, as no mention of them is on the label. This remedy is not only one of the safest, but one of the best in use for coughs and colds. Its value has been proven beyond question dur. ng the many years it has been in gen. eral usey For sale by Sam W. Duna- way, Druggist.

PROMOTION PROCEEDS.
County Chamber of Commerce Meets and Receives Financial Encourage
 ment From Valley Towns.

Imperial Valleys promotion cam. paign will proceed according to thN original plans of the County Chamber of Commerce. This important point was made certain at a meeting of the Chamber held in El Centro on Mon day forenoon.
 The County Chamber of Commerce has been hampered in it's work for the past two months because Of the delay of the valley towns in sending in their regular subscriptions, but at Mondays meeting this arrearage was cleared away and it was decided to keep up the work in Los Angeles for the next three months.
 A daily lecture, with lantern slides, is given at the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce.; the Imperial county exhibit of products is maintained on the main floor of the exhibition hall, and new literature is to be prepared at once for distribution to persons seeking information of Imperial Val ley.
 In addition to the, excellent work being done by Miss Rose Clifford for Imperial Valley at Los Angeles, rep resentatives of the various cities here are to spend several days each in Los Angeles to supplement her work. President John F. Giles of CaleXico will represent the County Chamber this week in Los Angeles, and next week it is expected Dr. J. c. Blackin- ton will take up the work.

Clerk Used Telephone and Caught
Both Man and Goods Before
He Left Village

Late Saturday afternoon, man
with a pair of heavy rough looking
horses drove UP in front of e. e. Bot
tum's grocery store on South street,
left the team standing beside the curb,
and went in and called for a list of
groceries. Earle Darling, one of Mr..
Bottum's employees, but up the pack
ages as they were ordered and when
II came to the time of settlement the
man asked to have the goods charged
to George NJ Knapp of Woodford
In reply to question by the clerk,
the man said that his name was Cakes
and that he had been working for MI
Knapp during the past year.
The clerk was suspicious but he al
lowed the man to take the groceries,
which amounted to about a dollar,
away with him.
No sooner had the man left the
store, however. than Mr.. Darling at
once called up Mr.. Knapp on the tel
ephone and at once ascertained that
the stranger had secured the goods
under false pretenses. Mr.. Knapp
not only stated that there was no such
man in his employ but that he didn't
even know Cakes.
Realizing that he had been imposed
upon Mr.. Darling at once took after
the imposter whom he found in Henry
Knapp's saloon on North street and
recovered the groceries.

Mrs. Catherine Root and her sons,
George and Arthur were badly burn
ed in escaping from the building.

from spontaneous combustion in the
stock of James Clifford & Sons com
pany, hardware dealers They had
turpentine, paints, oils. and dynamite
stored in the basement.
George Root, who lived in the upper
story of the Clifford block, was awak-
ened shortly after one o'clock by
smoke that rolled into his room from
a partly covered chimney hole.
The Roots had barely crossed the
street before there was terrific eX-
plosion in the building behind them,
and in an instant the Clifford block
was all afame This explosion was
heard for distance of six miles, shat
tered windows within a wide radius
and caused the fire alarm to ring.
All the other occupants of the Cliff
ford block lost their lives While the
| fire was at it's height a woman was
seen to climb out of a fiame-filled room
| to a veranda on the second story with
her night clothes and hair ablaze
Staggering to the railing she leaped
| TO the sidewalk landing in a heap
within a few feet of the blazing walls
Some of the onlookers tried to rush
in to drag her out, but the intense
heat drove them back, and II was
hours later before her body. that Of
Miss Alice Franch, was recovered.
Many prominent New York and Bos
ton society people were at the Curtis

destruction of their property. The
sufferers were taken to the hotel,
where warm clothes and every care
were given to them
A proposition was made to raise
fund of $4,000 among the New
York summer residents of Lenox for
the fire sufferers. All the villa own
ers will be asked to subscribe to the

Crowd This Afternoon.

An alarm of fire was rung in al
l:30 this afternoon from box &c corner
of Park and Gage streets. The fire
department responded promptly, both
the Putnam and Stark hose companies
arriving within a few minutes after
the alarm was given.
The cause of all the excitement was
found TO be grass fire-on lot own
ed by Daniel Cullion on Maple street
The grass on about half an acre OF
ground extending to the rear of the
residence of E. S. Harris on Division
street and adjacent to the residences
of William Bahan and Daniel Cullion
on Maple street was burned over. Be
fore the arrival of the fire department
the fire had been extinguished by a
number of men in the neighborhood.
The origin of the fire could not be
ascertained exactly. The wind fan.
ned the blaze and If help had not ar
rived considerable property loss would
undoubtedly have followed AS it
was no damage was done except the
burning of board fence.
An audience of about 300 people
from al parts of the village arrived
in time TO see the end of the show
from a distance.

he had better come home, he answer
