RATS PLAYING WITH
MATCHES START fire
Blaze in Alexandra Destroys Stock Of
Store and Badly Damages

LIQUOR TAKEN IN POLICE RAID

Alexandria, Va, Sept. 14.-Rats play
ing with matches were responsible for
fire which, at 2:30 o'clock this morn
ing. destroyed the stock in the frame
store building conducted by Henry Sis
son. at 1920 queen Street, also badly
damaging the building, which is owned
by George II. Hinken.
Had 1t not been for the timely dis
covery of the fire by william Simms,
who was near by at the time. the fire
might have gained considerable head
way, all of the buildings in that block
being wooden, As IL was, however. the
firemen kept the flames to the one
building.
1t was at first thought that the blaze
was of Incendiary origin. An examina-
tion, however, disclosed that the fire
must have been started by rats, which
got into some matches on the west
side OF the store. The fire burned
through that side. d.
Mr.. Sisson estimates that the dam
age done to his stock, which is com
pletely ruined, will amout to between
$500 and $500. There is $500 insurance.
The damage done to the building Is
covered by insurance.

should be supply of tire valves and
caps. A slight leak in a valve will cause
as much delay as a blowout. A good
valve Is often hard TO obtain when on

can be avoided by carrying these acces-
sories. A valve tap and dye also should

All that was needed was to digest that lump of food in your stomach.- and the gianGs. whose duty it is tl supply the gastric juices, had simply given out from oyerwork. So when you took that little tablet you were supplying exactly what was necessar> tc complete. the process of digestion that the stomach had begun but was unable to finish.
 If you would continue to take .Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablet after each meal for awhile. your stomach would have a chance to rest~up and get well and strong again.
 Try just one box and you will never want to be without this wonderful little remedy for stomach troubles Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets contain an ingredient, one grain of which will digest 3,0G0 grains of food. They are entirely harmless because they have absolutely no effect on the system one way CT another except to do just the one thing-digest food.
 Every drug store everywhere sells and recommends Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets at 50 cents box.
