A Wise Selection

1t is highly improbable that any physi-
clan could be found who would deny
there is a great big legitimate field
wherein good liniment proves a well
come and powerful ally. When need
arises, therefore, it is only a question Of
wise selection on the part Of the pur-
chaser. if he obtains liniment that can
be used internally fsh coughs, colds, sore
throat. cramps. chills, ETC.. and exter-
nally for sprains, strains, muscular rheu-
matism. various aches. pains, and al
most any soreness. he is twice fortified
against many of the common ailments
that all flesh is heir to. For over 100
years Johnson's Anodyne Liniment has
proved to be just such a double value
liniment. This prescription of DR.. Abner
John-cn's. an erstwhile old family bhys-
clan. has attained it's enviable record of
more than century Of success purely on
its wonderful merit. AS a tribute to its
,eaa;na healing. soothing and pene-
users speak of Johnson's Anodyne Lini-
ment as IAN angel in disguise ADV.

Hook and Ladder 40 swept through
West 1l7th Street last night with its
siren wailing and the great extension

The ladder bent and swung beneath
their weight and threatened to flip them
of into the streets when the heavy
auto truck danced and jounced over
the pavement as it neared ia West
1l7th Street. There a woman and man
stood in the windows of the fourth
floor. framed in smoke. which was pour
ing out of the room behind them, and
lit by the glare of flames, which were
licking out from the window below.
BY the time the alarm had been sent

shop in the basement Of the apartment

On the fourth floor Mrs. julia korn and
her son, Nathan, were not warned until
the floor below them was a mass OF
flames, cutting off their escape. They
rushed TO the front windows Of their
apartment and stood on the sills, watch
ing for the ladder truck, which shey
knew was their only chance.
Lieutenant Hughes, of tn truck, saw
the two figures while still several
blocks away. By his orders the exten-
sion ladder windlass was manned and
Bowler and Boldauf started I" climb.
The driver halted the machine directly
beneath the window where Mrs. korn
was standing, and the two fremen man
aged to bring her down to safety

Two alarms were sent in before the
fire was extinguished. The entire five
