Doctors Said He Would Die
A Friends Advice Saves Life

l wish to speak of the wonderful cure that l have received from your noted Swamp-Root. the great kidney and blad- der cure. Last summer 1 was taken with severe pains in my back and sides. I could not breathe without difficulty and was nearly wild with the desire to urinate. was compelled to do SO every ten min u'es with the passage of pure blcod with the urine. l tried all the different doc tors from far and near, but they said it vas no use to doctor as I would die any- way. l was at the end of my rope and was so miserable with pain and the thought that l must die that words can- not tell how I felt. One day friend told me of the wonderful help she had received from Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root. She gave me one of your pamphlets which read and determined to try Swamp Root. After taking half bottle I felt better. Have now taken ten bottles and am we'll as ever was, thanks to Swamp Root. wish to tell all suffering people that have kid ney, liver or bladder trouble, that Dr. Xii. mer's Swamp-Roo is the best medicine on the market.
 All persons doubting this statement can write to me and I will answer them di- rectly, Yours very truly,

HUNDREDS PERISH
 IN FOREST FIRES
'oWNS AND MINES IN PoRcu. PINE DISTRICT OF ONTARIO
 FALL BEFORE FLAMES
towns and Roads Are, Dotted With CorPses of Those Overcome by
 Smoke and Fire.

toronto, Ontario-The loss of life .lh the Porcupine district from forest hres Is known to be several hundred. ma the property loss will reach sev- eral millions of dollars. Only three ot the S4 employees of the West Dome mine have been accounted for. and zoo miners, helpers, etc, in the Dome mine have been suffocated.
 In four hours the fire swept from the Standard mines through to the shores of Porcupine lake, where ii ate up the towns of South porcupine louisville and part of Golden City, as well as many small buildings along the lake front. While some loss of life occurred in the vicinity of Por- cupine lake, the greatest havoc was wrought around the main mines. no. tably West Dome and Big Dome. There the entrapped miners, cut off rom escape. were forced to take to the shafts for safety, and. penned in by flames, perished. This Is espe- cially the case at Dome and West Dome mines At Preston. East Dome an untimbered shaft gave shelter and none perished.
 The streets of South Porcupine were strewn with dead persons, dogs. horses and cattle. Along the mine roads are the charred bodies of those overcome trying to escape. Along the highway between West Dome and South Porcupine, over a comparative ly open section, were found six char. red bodies. In the ruins of the town of South Porcupine were found the burned bodies of four men.
 Hundreds fled before the flames but the dense clouds of black smoke hung very low over the land and made progress difficult Many fell exhausted before the raging fire az it swept over the town of South Por- cupine. The frame buildings burned fiercely. Twenty minutes after the flames struck the outskirts, the town was in ashes. All who escaped the flames made for the water, where all sorts of water craft, launches, ca noes, scows and skiffs, were pressed into service. Women and children were first huddled into the small boats and started off from Pottsville and Golden City. where they were temporarily safe from the flames. Many miners lost their lives in ef- forts to save others, and some were drowned. Panic and chaos prevailed when the flight by water began. Men fought with each other for places in the boats for their families Police officers had to stand off the panic stricken foreigners, who rushed for each boat as it came in. Men were showed into the water, and many plunged in as the only place of safe ty. Thirty launches and as many canoes soon had the women landed safely on the other side of the lake

PITIFUL SIGHT WITH ECZEMA

"A few days after birth we noticed an infiamed spot on our baby's hip which soon began spreading until baby was completely covered even in his eyes, ears and scalp. For eight weeks he was bandaged from head to foot. He could not have stitch of clothing on. Our regular physician pronounced it chronic eczema He Is very able physician and ranks with the best in this locality. nevertheless. the disease began spreading until baby was completely covered He was losing flesh so rapidly that we be- came alarmed and decided to try Cuti- cura Soap and Ointment.
 Not until I commenced using Cuti- cura Soap and Ointment could we tell what he looked like. as we dared not wash him. and had been putting one application after another on him. On removing the scale from his head the hair came off. and left him entirely bald. but since we have been using Cuticura Soap and Ointment he has as much hair as ever. Four weeks o Soap and Ointment he was entirely cured. I don't believe anyone could have eczema worse than our baby.
 Before we used the Cuticura Rem edies we could hardly look at him, he was such pitiful sight. He would fuss until I would treat him, they semed to relieve him so much. Cuti. cura Soap and Ointment stand by themselves and the result they quick ly and surely bring Is their own rec. ommendation." (Signed) Mrs. T. B. Rosser, Mill Hall. Pa, Feb. 20, 1911.
 Although Cuticura Soap and Oint- ment are sold by druggists and deal CTS everywhere, a sample of each, with 32-page book, will be mailed free on application to "Cuticura," Dept. .9 K, Boston.

Canal plaaers Are Busy.

Washington.-Alth the diff culties of the work increases as the diggers on the Panama canal get deeper into the prism. they are more than keeping up their record.

FINANCE AND REALTY

The session OF the exchange yesterday
was the dullest since the recent move in
Gas was inaugunated. Even Gas failed to
show any real life. The trading was re-
stricted to ITO shares and the price, ex-
cept for q sale of twenty-five shares, af-
ter the call was stationary at Sc. The
last sale Of the day Was made at So rs.
The remainder Of the list was equally
dull, hardly 200 shares changing hands.
The bid list was a little more active. but
here the trading was confined practically
to Washington Gas IS. of which issue
81, 900 worth were sold at l0e Is and 10S IA.
One broker made an effort to find what
would be the price for a block Of 500
shares OF Washington Railway and Elec-
trio common. The broker most active in
the Railway issues offered to buy at "a 10.
or to sell at IS 10, but neither proposition
seemed sufficiently alluring for the orig
inal inquirer. The last trade in Railway
common was a ten-share transaction at
S5 made several days ago.
Following the withdrawal Of Edward
Floy Caverly from the National City
Bank and the Union Savings Bank. an
other change was announced yesterday
by the resignation Of Joseph N. Thomp-
son, cashier Of the Seventh street branch
of the savings bank: Mr.. Thompson
will become secretary and treasurer Of
the Chesapeake Supply Company.
