A SERIOUS MENACE.
Editor The Commonwealth:

Editor The Commonwealth:
During recent storm, lighting struck
and set fire to the building of the
Standard Oil Co., just south of the Y. &
M. V. Depot.
The Company had three large tanks
filled with oil and an eigth- thousand
tank of gasoline, in close proximity to
the building, By long and arduous
work of our fire department, assisted
by the agent of the Y. & M. ", the
fire was kept away from these combust-
ibles.
There had been heavy rainfall that
night, overfowing a large part of that
community. Now suppose these tanks
had exploded, land there was grave dam
ger of their doing sol, the burning oil
would have spread over the water and
large part of that part of town
would have burned, with probable
loss of life. Phe furniture warehouse,
the depot, with large number of box
cars and their contents, would have gone
up in smoke. So great was the danger
that none but the fire laddies, and the
agent, stood their ground = the crowd
keeping very respectful distance away.
| think the authorities should take
immediate steps to have this plant
moved outside of the corporation, the
danger to property and lives being too
great for it to remain where it is now
located. CITIZEN.
The abouve suggestions are appro-
pirate and timely, and we hope the city
authorities will give the matter consd-
GRAFTON at the meeting of the Council |
next Tuesday evening.

A BONE IN THE THROAT.
Lemon Juice, II Is Said, Will Quickly
Melt II Away.

Sitting mt a planked shad dinner, n
laughing guest drew n bone into his
throat. and he began to strange. Some
one suggested that the sufferer swal.
low fragment of dry bread.
"Oh nor exclaimed one man, Don't
give him bread. Ii might catch the
bone, and 1t might not Give him
something that is sure TO give relief"
Reckoning TO a waiter. he said, Bring
me a lemon, cut in two" And it was
brought without delay. Taking one
section. he offered 1t to the choking
guest and told him TO suck the juice
and to swallow 1t slowly. Directions
were faithfully followed. and in about
a quarter of minute the afflicted one
placed the half lemon on his plate,
looked into the anxious faces around
the table and smiled.
well, joe" said one, "how about it?
ITS gone" was the reply. 1.-THE
bone has slipped down"
Not exactly that" said the man who
suggested IL. The bone slipped down,
all right. but it was melted first by the
citriS acid | never knew ii to fail TO
dissolve a fshbone. You can test the
power of lemon Juice by dropping some
on the fishbones you may have lying
on your plate"
Several diners made the experiment
IN each case the acid reduced the bone
to liquid gelatin.-New York Press.
