Japan, in which 100 persons were
burned to death and 5000 of the IL 800
buildings were RACED with a loss of
$2,OOO,OO were received by the steam

one and three-sevenths miles long and
a quarter of mile broad.
Soldiers searching the debris found
several scores of charred bodies. Thir-
ty thousand homeless persons were
gathered into refuge camps. Great
suffering followed the fire, and sup
plies of rice brought in were eaten
raw by the starving people. A store
of powder exploded and shook the
whole area soop after the fire was ex-

The fire originated in small house

GREAT SPEED MADE
BY ICE SKATERS

Chicago, January Especial. )-Charlie
Fisher, the crack Milwaukee ice flyer,
demonstrated that he was one of the
classiest skaters in the west today when
he decisively beat Harry Kaad, the local
speeder, who is generally ranked next
to Adolph Anderson. the western cham
pion.
The occasion was the formal opening of
the western ice racing season. given I'M
der the auspices of the Sleipner Athletic
club at the Humboldt park lagoon.
Prior to this Fisher had easily shown
his superiority over Kaad when he won
the Class A half-mile. The local boy
finished fully ten lengths behind and was
lucky to get the place from Harry Rodde.
The winners time was 81 AS.
Because of the one-sidedness of this
event the judges decided at the last min
ute to give Kaad a 50-yard handicap in
the two-mile. but even with this advan-
tage the Milwaukee man won hands down.

FOOTBALL TICKETS
CAUSE TROUBLE

Boston, Mass, January 1.-Suggestions
looking toward a solution of the problem
of the distribution of tickets for import
ant football games at Harvard. especially
for the biennial contest with Yale, are
given in report of special committee
of the Harvard club of this city. The
club Investigated the methods employed
at the recent game.
The committees conclusions are that
there should be reduction in the num-
Der of specially awarded seats, that tic
kets for members of the, Harvard Athletic
Association should be abolished, that
freshmen and sophomoresi should be limit
ed to one ticket each, and that university
officers be classed with graduates.
There were 5000 seats in the stadium
for the game of November 20, 1909 in
which Yale took 5000.
After the game, many complaints
reached the management from ticket
holders who were unable to obtain seats.

The Torture
OF BOils
Many Cases of This Painful Disease
Have Been Cured by Using Stuarts
Calcium Waters
A Trial Package Sent Free

Furuncles, or boiis, is one of the oldest
diseases of history. Every one familiar
with the case of Job, of whom It was
said in the Bible that the surface of his
body was completely covered with them
and the disease is referred to by many
people nowadays as Jobs Disease"
Boils consist of large, projecting points
of Inflammation situated on the skin and
extending into the connective tissue. They
usually terminate in suppuration and
the formation of q central slough or core.
and when the boil comes to a head and
breaks, the abcess tends to heal, leav-
ing a cicatrix. or scar.
This disease occurs most frequently on
the back OF tho neck. although they may
occur anywhere on the surface of the
skin.
Boils seldom occur singly, but usually
come in considerable numbers, and fire.

cession for q considerable period, and

sooner is the pain Of one gotten rid Of
than that Of another begins. until the per-

When the boil involves a nerve flament
the pain IL most excruciating and almost
uncomfortable.
The treatment for the cure of furuncles
or boils should be directed toward recti-
flying errors OF nutrition, improving the
general health, eliminating poisons and
Impurities from the blood and toning
up and strengthening the kidneys, bowels
and other eliminating organs.
The preparations of sulphur have the
most pronounced influence in curing boils
and of these preparations the sulphide of
calcium il by far the most powerful and
effective.
STUARTs CALCIUM WAF ERS, which
contain calcium sulphide, have been ex-
ceedingly successful in the treatment and
