AGED FIRE VICTIM
LIES NEAR DEATH
Physicians Say Mrs. Petry
Has Only Slight Chance
to Recover.
i WASHINGTON TIMES BUREAU.
- AIENANnpTA VA AEAprEI "a

Although suffering terribly from burns
received at the fire at Hotel Ramme
yesterday morning, Mrs. Henrietta PetrJ
still survives. Her condition, however
is critical and physicians at the Alexan-
dria Hospital have but slight hope for
her recovery, stating that it is doubtful
whether she will live through the day.
Her burns extend from head to foot
and this fact, coupled with her age
sixty years, renders the chances Tor
her survival relatively slight.
1t has been impossible thus far to get
a statement from her as to the origin OF
the fire, but the theory that her night
gown caught either from the lighted
candle, or a spark from the match she
used, is believed to be the most plaus-
ible.

The Moral Is
 Plain

'.For the Lords sake" said pr. Bell yesterday. take my advertisement out of The Republican l ordered it for Ia week, but one day has been more than enough. I advertised for a man to do chores. and there was a steady stream of applicants all day Sunday. land they are sWamping me again to- day. l made d selection yesterday from the crowd that applied"
 Another case: In yesterdays Re publican a territorial official adver- tised that he wished to employ young lady clerk for one week. He did not wish to be bothered at his office with applicants and the advcr- usement was worded SD that appli- cations would come to The RepubIi- can office. By eight o'clock app'ica- tions were coming in by telephone and thcy continued all day. It was ncces- sary for one of the clerks in the busi- ness office of The Republican to give most of his attention to these appli- cations.
 The moral is plain. If you have something to sell: if you want to buy something; if you are seeking a posi- tion; if you are in need of help of any kind; if you wish to reach the public for any purpose, your desires are fulfilled speedily if you advertise in The Republican.
 Indeed. from the instant responses which so frequently come under the notice of the business office. it really appears that the advertisements in The Republican are read ahead of tho telegraph. the local news. or any other matter in the paper

up next year?'
For one thing. Jack
stop a minute. If it's swearing off

You better not. It.
please let me finish, Jack. do
wish you would give UP going to your
clubs so often. They cost you so much;

DINNER FOR WORKERS
Commercial Club Membership Com
mittee Talks of EATS

The membership committee Of the
Commercial club met today to talk over
the coming membership campaign and
decided to hold a noon day dinner for
the workers and others interested. The
date was not set definitely but it will
probably take place a week from next
Monday
The disadvantage of canvassing bust
ness men in their office during office
hours was discussed, and it was agreed
that this tends to get men into the club
against their will. with the result that
they are merely lukewarn members.
We don't want to do any more of
this froth and foam business said n.
b. Burge. I'D be willing to pay for
ten tickets to get ron-members up to a
Commercial club banquet where they
could be convinced that it would be
worth their while to join the organfza-
ton The club should be talked both
from the human interest and the bust
ness side
Mr.. Burge proposed that a banquet
complimentary to the members of the
Wakarusa Commercial club be held
some time in the near future Recently
30 members of the local club banuueted
at Wakarusa with the members of the
club of that town where every man is a
member. The suggestion made by
Surge was looked upon favorably by
the committee.
