MRS. TAYLOR VIRGINS.

mnS. AYLOn "t0SIINo.
There has been an outburst of en-
thusiasm regarding the new Herbal
tonic, Lax-a-Tone. The reason why is
simply that it has produced results in
Natures way with Natures herbs.
We are publishing the testimonial
Of Mrs. Taylor Virgins, 2710 Monroe
street, Toledo, because she is we'll
known in Richmond, having visited
here for several years in succession.
Mrs. Virgins suffered dizzy spells
from stomach and liver trouble as her
friends we'll know.
Mrs. Virgins says, for long time
was afflicted with liver trouble, I
would bloat up with gas, belch and
had terrible pain right over my liver,
but the worst of all was blind head
aches and dizzy spells. l had a bad
fall on Summit street about two
months ago, from one of those dizzy
spells. l have taken Herbal Lax-a-
Tone, strictly followed directions and
can honestly and truthfully say | am

This time I plead for spools of
cotton thread and coarse ticking for
mattresses for Serbia, where, near
Nish, 1,400 men are lying wounds un-
tended, raging with typhus fever, on
plank floors, because there isn't a sin

sociation here has gotten together by
subscription money enough to pay 100
women 20 cents day each to make up

Ough ticking to be had, and it is the
law that no shop now may sell more
than one spool Of white cotton to an

The Community Christmas tree at
the Town hall on Friday evening was
the greatest success of the kind ever
given in st. Johnsbury and such a
crowd filed the hall that many who
came went away for lack of room. It
is estimated that about 400 attended
and over 100 presents were distributed
the distribution being by number.
Among the gifts were 800 pounds of
flour and 100 pounds of pork to say
nothing of other things. The tree
was illuminated from six until ten
o'clock that all might admire it and
during the evening the church choirs
sang, and Rev. F. B. Richards spoke

FIRE AT FAIRBANKS
The Inn Badly Damaged and About
so Men Thrown Out of Home
Will Be Rebuilt

An alarm at 1920 Sunday afternoon
called the firemen from the Central
Station and hose companies one and
six to Fairbanks Inn where fire had
been discovered in the attic of the ell
part When the firemen reached the
scene the fire was we'll spread through
the upper part and was breaking out
through the roof. The remainder of
the companies were called and as soon
as possible eight streams of water
were pouring on the flames. There
was a high wind and it required ex-
cellent work on the part of the fire.
men to hold the flames to that build
ing.
The fire had eaten into the parti-
tions so badly that it was three hours
before the fire was entirely extinguish-
ed. The three upper floors of the
building were practically destroyed
and the first floor seriously damaged
by water. The loss will probably be
about $4,000 and it is covered by in
surance. Mr.. Brigham, who had
charge of the house, also suffered
some loss, but he too is covered by in
surance.
Nearly so men were living in the
house at the time and they were
placed in neighboring houses and
about Is of them given temporary
quarters in The Casino. But they
nearly all found places during the day
Monday. The cause of the fire is
mystery as it started in the attic where
no one had been for several weeks.
The company plans to reconstruct the
building on practically the same
plans as the old building.
Fairbanks Inn was one of the old
est buildings in the Fairbanks plant
having been used by Thaddeus Fair
banks, the inventor of the Fairbanks
scale, many years ago as a dwelling
and Prof. Henry Fairbanks was born
there 85 years ago last May It was
entirely remodelled in the early part
of 1913 and made a very comfortable
home for the employees of the shops
without families.
Appreciation of The Firemen.
To The Editor of St. Johnsbury Gale
donian
Dear Sir
Our firemen do not get many words
of commendation-publi or other
wise.
The fire at the Fairbanks Inn last
Sunday ought not to be allowed to pass
without heartiest appreciation on the
part of the officials Of this corporation
or of the public-so much interested
to see that it's proper interest in the
scale factory is safe-guarded.
The conditions were the worst high
wind, icy cold, heavy snow fall, with
possibilities that because of all these
one does not like to think of. Yet
promptness, energy, skillful fighting
and good team work localized the fire
and prevented what might have proved
a very disastrous loss-not alone to
the Inn but the factory. Had the fire
gotten beyond control the fierce north
west wind would surely have driven
the flames across to the factory with
results no one would care to have fol-
low.
We wish to heartily thank the fire
men from the chief down. If every
fire is tackled with the same vigor
promptness and skill we can all rest
assured that the emergencies will be
successfully met.
Very sincerely yours,
E. and T. Fairbanks and Co.
