LEFT OVER SPARK STARTS NEW FIRE
 IN LUMBER MILL

For the second time in nine days the fire departm ent was called this morning to extinguish fire in the big brick tower building in Knowlton street used by the A. w. Burritt Lurn- Der Co. for the storage of shavings and sawdust- The fire of October 8 which gave the department a. few lively hours was located in the lower floors of the structure used for shaw tngs while the fire this morning was in a huge bin at the top of the build ing used for sawdust. Assistant Treasurer James Te1ford of the com pany said that the fire was undoubt- edly caused by a spark that remain ed from the former visitation to the structure. The company made an in vestigation after the first fire and de- cfded that there was no fire left in the bin and use of the bin was re- stunned at once.
 The f1remen were handicapped in fighting the fire through the fact that floors of the building were burned away in the last fire. Ladders had to be used inside of the structure to get to the seat of the fire. The com paHy's automatic sprinkler system was not in working order.
 Herbert A. Chaffee, secretary of the company stated this morning that if there was another fire in the structure that it would never get out side the buildings because the com pany intended to install concrete floors and fire proof windows and doors.

THE TEAR OF HUN1BUG
Prevents Many People from Trying a
 Good Medicine

Stomach troubles are so common and in most eases so obstinate to cure that people are apt to look with sus- picion on any rem edy claiming to be s9a and indigestion. Many such pride themselves on their acuteness in never being humbugged, especially in med icines.
 This fear of being humbugged can be carried too far, so far, in fact, that many people suffer for years with weak digestion rather than risk a little time and money in faithfully ton reliable and universally used as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
 Now Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are vastly different in one important re- s2ect from ordinary proprietary med iaines for the reason that they are not a secret patent medicine, no sec rot is made of their ingredients, but analysis shows them to contain the natural digestive fernents, pure asep- tic pepsin, the digestive acids, Golden Seal, bismuth, hydrastis and nux They are not cathartic, neither do they act powerfully on any organ, but they cure indigestion on the com nfon sense plan of digesting the food eaten thoroughly before it has time te ferment, sour and cause the mis- chief This is the only secret of their success.
 Cathartic pills never have and nev- CT can cure indigestion and stomach troubles because they act entirely on the bowels, whereas the whole trouble is really in the stomach.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets taken after meals digest the food. That is aIs there is to it. Food not digested or half digested is poison as it creates gas, acidity, headaches, palpitation of the heart, loss of flesh and appetite ard many other troubles which are of&en called by some other name.
 They. are sold by druggists every wfiere at 50 cents per package.
