old Union hotel. The fire was
discovered in the kitchen a little
before four o'clock, and an
alarm turned in. The building
being built entirely of wood. the
flames could not be extlnguished,
and in about three hours, not
withstanding that three streams
OF water were poured into the
structure. the building was
burned down. Firenen pulled
down the remaining tottering
walls. The John MADEIRA resi-
,dence was not damaged further
than the bIistering of the paint
on the north side.
Had the wind been blowing at
the terrific speed it had on Satur.
day, it is hard to tell what the
damage might nave been.
The hotel was erected about
1880 by Mr.. Lundberg who run
it up to the time of his death
several years ago; then it
has been run by several different
parties. About two years ago

The physician of an uptown hos.

other day yer a patient supposedly
suffering from a fractured skull. He
was taken to the operating room In q

surgical chiefs were there and one Of
them was just about to begin work on
the man when a telegram was handed
to him.
After reading It, he turned to the
other with the remark, my father Is

Il Headache Cure.

The sick headache that is caused by
indigestion. may often be cured by dis
solving a teaspoonful of powdered
charcoal in half a glass of hot wa
ter.
Charcoal tablets are also effective
for a bad head or a teaspoonful of
baking soda in a glass of hot water.
Try these remedies or hot water
and salt before resorting to medi-
cine. The headache tablet habit is
bad to acquire and worse to break.
Never take any headache tablet
just on the recommendation of a
friend. Many OF them r injurious
to the heart.
