JONES PIANO co. DAMAGED BY
HARGER & BLISH FIRE.

The big fire of the Harger & Blish
company on December the 18th did a
serious damage to the Jones Piano
company. However, the damage was
not by fire or by water; it was just by
smoke. The smoke came through into
Jones Piano Company's basement and
the elevator acted as a chimney and
distributed the smoke through their
entire building of three floors. Their
stock was not damaged by fire or by
water, only by smoke, But the walls
Of their building and the decorations
were damaged. The entire three floors
will have to be cleaned and redecorat-
ed. After January 1st the Jones
Piano Company is going to have their
building cleaned and redecorated and
at the same time are going to do quite
q lot of remodeling. You will notice
their display ad. in this paper. They
are having an immense sale and
everything will 90 at big sacrifice
and every piano must be closed out
prior to the remodeling and cleaning.
Their stock consists Of the finest
pianos on the market. Here is an
opportunity for every piano buyer.

Danger Signal.

If the fire bell should ring would
you run and stop it or go and help to
put out the fire? It is much the same
way with cough. A cough is dam
ger signal as much as a fire bell.
You should no more try to suppress
it than to stop fire bell when it is
ringing, but should cure the disease
that causes the coughing. This can
nearly always be done by taking
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. Many
have used it with the most beneficial
results. It is especially valuable for
the persistent cough that so often
follows bad cold or an attack of the
grip. Mrs. Thomas Beeching, An.
drews, Ind, writes: During the win
ter my husband takes cold easily and
coughs and coughs. Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy is the best medicine
for breaking up these attacks and you
cannot get him to take nay other"
