$500, 900 GOES UP I'M SMOKE

Cincinnati, Jan. 1T is claimed
that 100000 in paper money was
destroyed in fire that leveled Adams
Express Co. general Offices and ware
house today. Nearly 81 900, 100000
in currency and notes received from
New York yesterday and firemen
worked heroically to remove most
of the shipments. Fire starting from
crossed electric wires was fought
during worst snowstorm Of winter.

Mary might have been successful
because she told pathetic tale, but
she didn't finish the game playing
fair. She called Frank a liar when
he tried to tell his side of the tale and
she repeated the pet name SO often
that Judge Hopkins had a tightness
about his lips as he tried to disentan-
gle Franks testimony from Mary's
term of endearment Then the judge
said just one word to Frank:
Discharged"

EVERYTHING WAS FAIR BUT
"LIAR"-THAT LOST THE CASE

Mary Petricek, 1901 S. Throop st.,
believes in being fair" When she
decided that her married life with
her husband, Frank Petricek, wasn't
just what she fancied married life
ought to be she packed up her be-
Iongings and quit while Frank was
at work, but when he got home he
found that she had not taken a sin
gle one of the wedding gifts that
were given to him personally, nor
had she taken her wedding ring. Also
she left for him a mattress on the
floor, so he wouldn't have to sleep on
the boards.
In the court of domestic relations
yesterday she told of her shattered
dream of married life and asked only
that Frank should pay her bills while
she lived apart from him,

KILLING AT SING SING
Ossining, N. ", Jan. T. Sensa-
tional chase of an escaped prisoner
over roof of Sing Sing early today
delayed execution of Antonio Pen
ton, young Porto Rican, and give the
prison officials one of most harrow
ing hours that has marked killing of
men by order of state in months.
Deputy Warden Spencer Miller
broke down and wept, following the
execution, over the fact that he had
been forced to direct the killing of
a fellow man. Warden Geo. Kirch-
wey, who succeeded Thos. Mott Os-
borne, following latter's indictment,
was not in prison when Ponton went
to his death. He continued the policy
of Osborne in remaining away as a
protest against capital punishment.
Execution of Ponton was unevent-
full. He walked into death chamber
at 6:15 and at 6:24 was pronounced
dead. His crime of stabbing Bessie
Kroner of Schenectady to death had
been expiated.
The identity of the escaped pris-
oner and how he came to be able to
make his break for liberty were
closely guarded secrets. 49,

NOW HE CAN FIGURE OUT WHY
FIGS FROM SMYRNA ARE SHY

New York, Jan. IA year ago
1OO,00O,0OO pounds of figs were
brought to the U. S. from Smyrna.
This year, according to John Manola,
80 West Broadway, who represents
Smyrna Fig Co., which is said to han
die 25 per cent of the fig business in
this country, not a single pound has
come from Smyrna.
Mr.. Manola, who arrived here yes
terday aboard Giuseppe Verdi of the
Trans-Atlantica Italiana line, said he
had left New York on Aug. 81 to find
out why there were no more ship
ments from Smyrna
81 discovered it after many months
of suffering and hairbreadth escapes
from DEATH" said Mr.. Manola 1.-The
Turkish soldiers had eaten them up
for food, of which there is a great
scarcity.
when l found that a five-gallon
can of kerosene oil was selling at SIG
l lost interest in Smyrna and started
to come home"

FERNS ARE GOOD TO EAT,
SAY UNIVERSITY JAPANESE
Considered Great DeIicacy by Nip
ponese, Who Eat Puget Sound
Plant Like Asparagus.

University of Washington. - The
common fern or brake that grows in
the Puget Sound country is good to
eat, according to University Of Wash
ington Japanese students. Several
Japanese families have been gather
ing the stems of the plant on the cam
pus recently. They are boiled and
eaten like "fuki," the Nipponese rhu-
barb, or the American asparagus,
To take out the acid taste Of the
fern, the stems are boiled in water,
to which ashes are added. When near
ly cooked the water and ashes are
poured off. Clean boiling water is
then poured On and the cooking is
called "warabi' and is considered a
great delicacy. Warabi may be eaten
at once or it may be dried and stored
away for winter use. When mixed
with oysters it is called "sho-yu,"
which means oyster sauce. The food
can be mixed with most meats, she'll
fish and vegetables.

HOT WATER AND "ANURIC"
BEFORE MEALS---AND HEALTH

All people in America and especially
those who are past middle age are
prone to eat too much meat and in con-
sequence deposit lime-salts in their
arteries, veins and joints. They often
suffer from twinges of rheumatism or
lumbago, sometimes from gout, swol-
len hands or feet Such people are
not always able to exercise sufficient
ly in the outdoor air or drink enough
pure water In order to sweat freely
and excrete impurities thru the skin.
DR.. Pierce has conducted experiments
and thoroughly tested uric acid SOL
vent at his Invalids' Hotel and Surgi-
cal Institute which he is convinced is
many times more potent than lithia--
this he named "Anuric" 1t can be had
at almost all drug stores by simply
asking for DIR. Pierce's Anuric for kid
neys or backache. 1t will overcome
such conditions as rheumatism, drop
sical swellings, cold extremities, scald-
ing and burning urine and sleepless-
ness due to constant need Of getting
out of bed at night.

Granulated Eyelids,
And He Lives.

This story tells how printer got
two news stories mixed in lines, hav-
ing wedding notice and public sale
notice to handle at the same time:
William Smith, the only son of Mr..
and Mrs. Joseph Smith, and Miss Lucy
Anderson were disposed of at public
auction at my farm one mile east, in
the presence of 70 guests, including
two mules and 12 head Of cattle.
REV. Jackson tied the nuptial knot
for the parties, average 1850 pounds
on hoof. The beautiful home Of the
bride was decorated with one sulky
rake, one feed grinder and two sets Of
work harness, nearly new, and just
before the ceremony was pronounced
the Mendel and Sons wedding march
was rendered by one milch COW,
years old, one Jersey COW and one
sheep, who, carrying bunch Of
brides roses in her hand, was beauti-
full.
She wore one light spring wagon,
two crates of apples, three racks Of
hay, one grind stone of mousseline de
sole and trimmings, with about 100
bushels of spuds. The bridal couple
left yesterday on an extended trip.

Dianltles of Office.

This story-which is perhaps true
and perhaps not-is being told In
many Italian mess rooms. On one of
his royal tours King Victor Emmanuel
spent the night in small country
town, where the people showed them
selves unusually eager in caring for
his comfort. So when he had gone to
bed he was surprised to be wakened
by servant who wanted to put clean
sheets on his bed, However, he wait
ed good-naturedly while 1t was done,
and wished the servant good night.
He had dozed off to sleep when he
was reused for the second time by a
rap ON the door and the servant re-
appeared, asking to change the sheets
again.
Naturally the King asked why the
change was made so often. The SER
want answered reverently: "For ones
self one changes the sheets every
week, for an honored friend every
day, but for king very hour"

instructed us that in case of sickness,
resort to DR.. Pierce's dependable
household prescriptions. These med
icfnes as put up for sale by druggists
have never been recommended as
"cure-alls," but only as superior rem
edies for certain common and easily
recognized diseases. Had these medi-
ciHes been adapted to all classes and
forms of chronic diseases there would
have been no necessity for organizing
a competent staff of expert physicians
and surgeons, to act in the treatment
of difficult, obscure and complicated
cases Of chronic diseases, as DR.. Pierce
maintains in his Invalids' Hotel and
Surgical Institute. OF his home rem
edies the most widely known are his
"Favorite Prescription" for womanly
troubles and rundown conditions pc
euliar to the womanly sex; his Golden
Medical Discovery" the greatest Of
all herbal system tonics and vitalizers,
for stomach, liver and blood disorders,
as well as his Pleasant Pellets" the
tiny, tonic laxatiyes, overcoming CON
stipation and cleansing the system OF
poisons and accumulations in the
bowels.

What to Do for
Your Itching Skin

Eczema, ringworm and similar itch
ing, skin eruptions are so easily made
worse by improper treatment, that one
has to be very careful. There is one
method, however, that you need not
hesitate to use, even on babys ten
der skin-that is, the resinol treat
ment. ResinoI is the prescription of
Baltimore doctor, put up in the form
of resinol ointment and resinol soap.
This proved so remarkably successful,
that thousands of other physicians
have prescribed it constantly for over
20 years.
Resinol stops itching instantly, and
almost always heals the eruption
quickly and at little cost. Resinol
ointment and resinol soap can be
bought at any druggists, and are not
at all expensive.

total thus far this week of more than
So, 900, 900. The gold. which is more

Strawberry Prices Jump.

Tacoma-Strawberry prices jumped
to high points this week on account of
the scarcity of the fruit and the high
priced Kennewick berries were snap
ped up by dealers who had placed only
light orders. California berries
jumped from $1.75 crate to So. Is
and $2.25. This is due to the fact that
the California berries are nearly all
gone, say dealers. The California ship
pers are turning down orders because
the demand is greater than the supply.
Clark Seeding strawberries from
Kennewick were snapped up at So. rs a
crate, and the jobbers and their buyers
are asking for more.

Sudden.

1t was the last half of the fourth
inning, and the home team had three
men on bases and nobody out. The
next man up was the best batter on
the team, If not in the entire league.

three bats and wearing confident
smile on his face. The stands were
in an uproar of enthusiasm.
Suddenly the umpire stepped for

He leaves widow and three chill
