WAS SCARCELY A FIRE.
But Auto Truck Went for 1t Like
Whirlwind.

| AT s o'clock last night, the auto fire
| truck answered telephone call for
chimney fire in the A. Tomas block on
North Main street, In almost less time
than it takes to tell about it, the motor
propelled combination was standing in
front of the big block, while a gaping
crowd watched the regulars mount the
roof carrying quantities of chemical So
luton. The blaze was trivial enough to
be extinguished with hatful of water,
although the tiremen decided to prevent
Ia possible outbreak by dashing some Of
the chemical over the heated partitions.
The damage was slight
Tenants of the fourth story were the
first to notice the condition OF the chini-
ney and it was deemed wise to eommh-
nieate with the fire station on account
of the danger of spreading from the
heavy wind. People standing ON the
sidewalks and those who glanced
through shop windows at the approach
of the siren-heralded machine say that it
resembled vague streak of shining
brass and bright colored paint as Il
whizzed down through Main street
This forenoon Il telephone alarm from
one of the call men at the north end
sent the auto truck hurrying through
the snowy streets to Elmwood avenue,
where a halt was made at the residence
of James Mclaughlin. An oyerheated
fue had caused flames to spread to a
partition and when the regulars arrived
a brisk blaze had consumed epnsidera
bic wall paper. etc With the aid of
the call man, the firemen easily extin-
guished the fire, although a small
amount OF damage was done by smoke.
The head of the house was absent when
Mrs. Mclaughlin discovered the out
break and had it not been for the time,
" action OF passing call man, it is
not improbable that a serious fire would
have resulted.
The change of the station tempera-
ture to that of the cold outdoors wealth
n caused the engine on the big Ameri-
an-LaFrance to skip slightly. although
he trip to the fire was made in good
ime and without impediment After
yards the carburetor was adjusted to
over temperature and several steep
nils about the city were made with ease
,efore returning to the station.

Rev. John M. Paige of Every Day Church
Considering Movement

| Rev. John NJ. Paige, pastor OF the
Every Day church in Burlington, am
nouneed to his congrega tion there Sun
day that he hoped to start a similar
church in Barre during the winter The
Every Day church movement is growing
in Burlington, having 20 members, as
against rs one year ago.
The principles of the church are out
lined in the following:
/. Religion does not consist in the
adoption OF creed, nor in the observ
ance of stated rites, but in reverence
for the good and true, in aspiring to
noble character, and in devotion to the
upbuilding of the human race.
III. Truth is greater than tradition.
We should accept the truth revealed
through modern knowledge.
III. The Book of Life contains many
helpful lessons in Bibles, nature and
experience.
". Our children should be given
nsn-seetarian and simple religious edu-
cation.
V. We would encourage private rath-
er than public prayer in our religious
life.
VI. We will discourage the manufac
ture and sale OF intoxicating liquors for
beverage purposes.
VII. We should not condemn the un.
fortunate. but help them up the heights
Of noble life.
VIII. We will discourage the war
spirit and viii encourage the spirit of
brotherhood among men and nations.
IN. A true church should protest
against the greed and power of wealth.
md should seek 10 better the life condi-
ions OF the whole people.
Y. More than all we would be true
friends to one another in prosperity and
diversity.

The Pantha Has Failed To
Show Up at Her
Destination
BUT HER TUG CONSORT
ARRIVED TO-DAY
Naval Department Officials
Think She Will Arrive
in Time

Washington, d. c., Jan. 9.--The naval
tug Sonoma, which left Hampton Roads
with the repair ship Panthar for Guam.
tanamo on January 3, arrived at the
latter port at one o'clock this morning
No word has been received from the
Pantha, but the navy department of
ficials insist that there is still no rea-
son to fear for her safety. as the tug
and her convoy were doubtless separs-
ted by bad weather, and each was obliged
to make any port alone.
1t is expected that something will be
heard from Pantha during the day. 1t
is thought probable that the Pantha has
been blown from her course by the
heavy gales.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications. as they cannot:
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infiamed condi-
ton Of the mucous lining of the Eusta-
chian Tube. When this tube is in1amed
you have rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed.
ffammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to it's normal condition.
hearing will be destroyed forever: nine
cases out Of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an infiamed condi-
ton Of the mucous surfaces.

Deafness Caused by that be BIZ
