% KILLED; SCORES INJURED.
Victims Caught Like Rats in Trar
in Boston Lodging House.

Boston, Dec. 4.-Twenty-five men
were killed in a fire which swept
through the upper floors of the Ar
cadia Hotel, lodging house in the
southern portion of Boston early yes
terday. Others are missing. Scores
were taken to hospitals suffering
from burns and injuries received in
jumping from windows.
Nearly all the bodies were terribly
burned and mutilated, making iden-
tification impossible. The victims
were men in poor circumstances who
had resorted to the place for a
nights lodging. Caught in the
crowded hunks on the top floor of
the five-story brick building and in
the small rooms on the fourth floor
they were helpless. When they were
aroused the stairways were in flames
and there was a mad rush for the
fire escapes at the rear Practically
all the men were naked
Many were rescued by the firemen
and police. Some escaped by walk
ing shaky plank stretched to an ad-
joining building or by jumping across
five-foot alley to neighboring roofs.
The property loss is only $4,000.
The Arcadia was located at the cor
ner Of Washington and Laconia
streets. The lower floors were occu-
pied by stores.

According to reports received from

his trouble. We will let him say how
he found it. His own words say:
"My friends told me to take Pc

Peruna has saved my life. 1t is the

not be without it."
This seems almost too good to be
true. No doubt there are some read 6

statements, however, can be verified
by writing Mr.. Johnson.
