chairs which were broken by the fire
men in being carried from the theater.
The moving picture machine, one of
the most expensive make. was totally
destroyed, as were also the two rolls
of films, the burden of the expense Of
which will have to be borne by Mr..
Misch. The approximate damage to
this section of the building viii amount
to at least $500, but part of which is
covered by insurance.
Operator Is Slightly Burned
The operator, Daily James, could not
be found after the fire and some one
remembered having seen him running
from the building in his shirt sleeves
Immediately after the first alarm was
given. It is believed that he went i'm
mediately to his home in Hammond
and as the extent of his burns. if he
received any, is not known. his friends
here are naturally anxious concerning
his condition.
The unfortunate incident occurred in
good season, however, as within few
weeks the front portion of the build
ing will be torn away and remodeled
into a lobby for the new Barry thea
ter, which is now under process of
CONSTRUCTION. II IS not lkely LndL the
place will be reopened for the por-
trayal of moving pictures again this
season as it would be but a matter OF
time before the building would have to
be remodeled
The whole affair might be summed
up as a gross example of the dangers
of negligence in a machine cage" said
an East ChIcagoan last evening to THE
TIMES representative. The James ma
chine was equipped with every safe
guard to prevent just such a confa-
grafton as that of last evening. Had
the operator permitted his reel to keeI
moving and his instruments in good
working condition, there would have
been no danger" The East ChicagoaT
is former operator and has had con-
siderable experience with the danger
which so nearly wiped out the live:
of the theater patrons. AS a result o.
last nights fire, Manager Brooks O.
the Forsyth avenue theater has in
stalled an absolutely fire-proof cage
composed entirely of angle iron anC
sheet metal This cage absolutely pre-
cludes any possibility of the fire gain
ing the main auditorium and endanger!
the life of but one person, the opera
tor, who happens to allow the heat Il
rest too long on his films.

ACUTE DISEASES LEAVE THE BLOOD
 THIN AND WEAK
The Tonic Treatment Which Cured This Hartford Man Is Showing Remarkable Results in Such
 Cases.

When the body becomes run down, either as a result of oyerwork, worry or q severe illness, an examination of tho blood would show 1t to be weak and watery. This condition is called anm. mic, which is the medical term for "bloodless." The common symptoms arc palenessof the lips, gums and cheeks, shortness of breath and palpitation of the heart after the slightest exertion, dull eyes and loss of appetite. Anamia itself is a dangerous disease and it may gradually pass into consumption. It must be cured by treating its cause, which is the poor condition of the blood. The vital fluid must be made strong and healthy thereby enabling it to carry the necessary nourishment to every tissue of tle body.
 Dr. Williams Pink Pills are the greatest builder of rich, new blood and they have been curing anemia and other bl0nl diseases for nearly a generation, during which time they have come to be recognized as an invaluable household remedy. The statement of Mir. F. L. Prirkctt, of No. Fl Asylum street, Hart ford, Conn.,, shows how these pills cure cas,s that stubbornly resist ordinary methods of treatment. He says:
 "A few years ago after an attack of pneumonia, I was greatly run down and did not regain my strength with the help of the doctors medicine. I was short of breath and my heart pained me upon Gny exortion. I had constant, throbling headaches and was so nervous that 1 could not sleep well. What little sleep l did get did not refresh me. l had no life or energy.
 "I had read about Dr. Williams Pink Pills and decided to try them. A few boxes helped me and in a short time I was entirely restored to health. Dr. Will liams' Pink Pills are a good tonic and l can heartily recommend them"
 A booklet, "Diseases of the Blood" showing what Dr. Williams Pink Pills have accomplished in many severe dis orders will be sent free on request.
 These pills are sold by all druggists, or will be sent, postpaid, on receipt of price 90 cents per box; six boxes for $2.50, by the Dr. Williams Medicine Co.,, Schenectady, N. Y.
