N. Y. Firemen Hard Pressed

NEW YORK, March 3.-With its
telegraph system almost completely
put out of commission by the storm
the fire department yesterday strug-
gled through day which taxed all
its resources. In a report to Mayor
Mitchell, Commissioner Adamson
yesterday asserted the emergency is
one which has placed the department
in desperate straits, and that the
crippled telegraph and telephone SER
vices are of little aid. All leaves of
absence have been revoked, and
emergency forces have been en-
ployed. Eighty extra horses have
been hired and 700 men have been
assigned to patrol duty in Brooklyn,
The Bronx, Richmond and Queens.

ness yesterday were able to leave
their homes today. Mails that have
accumulated because of the traffic tie
up began moving, and local telephone
| service, which was interrupted and
in some instances suspended, was al
most normal.
With the resumption of railroad
traffic the threatened milk and meat
famines passed. and it was believed
that the supply of coal would be suf-
ficient because of the warmer wealth

several days, especially among the
poorer classes. Inability to make de-

beef and with it the price advanced.

continue long today.
Harbor Filled with Ice.
The storm caused much trouble to

| ice, while the almost constant high
winds menaced all vessels. Inbound
| liners which had been waiting in the
outer harbor ventured into port yes
terday and today. Off Fire Island
yesterday eight barges laden with
/ coal were cast adrift by tugs towing
! them Each barge has four men
! aboard and it was feared that they
would drag anchor and be dashed to
pieces on the shoals. The tugs are

] companies for snow removal will run
into millions.
! Wire communication with points
south and west, while far from nor

| State points beyond Albany were still
CUT off from direct communication,
! but were reached by way of Pitts

back to Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse

Light and Power
Service Hard Hit
By the Storm

Not in many years have the elements
wrought such havoc with the electric light and
power service as during the storm just past.
Snow, temperature and low barometer pro
duced most unusual conditions, causing wires
to break and telling poles, so as to put entire
circuits and lines out of commission.
Before the storm receded all the resources
of Public Service were brought into play to re-
pair the damage, the cost of which will run
into many thousands of dollars.
Every effort is being directed to restoring
normal conditions, and rapid progress is being
made.
We ask our patrons to show for the next
few days, that spirit of forbearance which the
severity Of the storm would justify, and we
give our assurance that we are doing every
thing within the power of human agencies to
overcome the damage wrought

John w. Skillen of Sidney, Ohio,
Has Found Remedy.

Experts declare that the reason
stomach disorders are so common IN
this country is due to hasty and care
less habits of eating. Stomach
troubles and rundown conditions
usually go together.
John W. Skillen of Sidney, ONO,
says. 81 had bad stomach trouble
for years, and became so weak that
| could hardly walk or do any Work.
NY appetite was poor and it seemed
impossible to get any relief. Since
taking 'Vihor l find remarkable I'M
proyement in my health, my digestion
is much stronger, and l have gained
in weight. l would not be without
Vinol"
Vinol makes weak stomachs strong
because it strengthens and tones up
the weakened, tired and overtaxed
nerves of the digestive organs. Vinoi
ia easily assimilated by the weakest
etomachs, and is delicious to the taste.
Try a bottle of Vinol with the I'M
derstanding that your money Will be

in the United States and the sur
prising truth is that most cases are

These appalling facts should warn
us that after sickness, colds, over
work or any other drains upon
strength, SCOTS Emulsion should
be promptly and regularly used be-
cause tubercular germs thrive only
in weakened system.
The tested and proven value of
SCOTS Emulsion is recognized by
the greatest specialists because its
medical nourishment assimilates
quickly to build healthy tissue;
aids in the development of active,
life-sustaining blood corpuscles;
strengthens the lungs and builds
physical force without reaction.
SCOTS Emulsion is used in tuber-
