Early Morning Fires
Cause Little Loss

Two small fires occurring within half
an hour of each other kept the down
town companies OF the fire department
busy early yesterday morning.
At o'clock an alarm was turned In
from Fifteenth and Chicago streets, where
II was found that a pile of rubbish in
the Pioneer Glass company's shops was
on fire. The quick response of the fire
department saved the building. which was
old and dry. but full of valuable prop
erty. The rubbish was blazing brightly
when the firemen appeared. but Is was
soon extinguished.
The second blaze was in the Charles
E. Maloney Tailoring company's work
shop. where spontaneous combustion in
a heap OF dirt and rubbish caused a fire.
The blaze was discovered by the block
Waterman, r. D. Pilgrim. who turned
in an alarm soon enough to save a big
fire loss. The damage caused by the fire
is Insignificant. but Mr.. Maloney says
that over 500 worth Of cloth and suitings
are spoiled by smoke.

There's a better way Of removing often

wax causes the devitalized scarf skin to
come off, but gradually and gently. I'm
like the surgical process, the skin is not
forcihly taken off in big pieces all at
once, but almost invisible flaky particles
are absorbed by the wax. and from ten
days to two weeks are required TO COM

pain, no discomfort

only the lively. young. healthy-hued skin
