CANADIAN CAPITOL
DESTROYED BY FIRE
GAS BOMB OR INTERNAL MA
CHINE DECLARED TO HAVE
BEEN THE CAUSE.
Two Women, Member of Parliament
and Four Others Perish When
Building Valued at 100000
is Destroyed.

Ottawa-The historic Canadian par
Lament building was destroyed Thurs
day night by fire declared unofficial
ly to have been caused by the explo-
sion Of gas bomb or an internal ma
chine. Two women. guests OF the wife
OF Speaker Sevigny. were overcome
by smoke and persisted. b. B. Law. a
member of parliament; Deputy Clerk
LaPlarte, Dominion Constable DesJar-
dins; Alphone DesJardins, a plumber.
and Randolph flaming, a waiter, also
lost their lives.
1t has been established that the first
burst OF flames in the reading room
Of the house OF commons. was pre-
coded by at least one explosion and
probably by two. The force OF the
conclusion was so severe that per-
sons standing some distance away
were hurled to the floor. A rigid in
vestigation to determine the cause Of
the fire already has been undertaken
by the dominion authorities.
The flames spread with such amaz-
ing rapidity that the Ottawa fire bri-
gade was helpless to cope with them.
Aid was sent from Montreal on a spe-
cial train.
The loss cannot be estimated in
money. The building was valued at
about S5.000.00O. but the contents are
CT inestimable value. There was no
insurance.
Members of the parliament. spec
tators in the gallery OF the lower
house, government employees and 9TH
ers who were in the building, narrow

few minutes after the fire began cor.
ridors were filled with smoke and at

1t was my own experience that first

scribed it to convalescents and other
weak patients that this food is a won

weight, very rapidly.
Il was in such a low state that
had TO give up my work entirely and
go to the mountains, but two months
there did not improve me; in fact 1
was not quite as well as when l left
home. My food did not sustain me
and it became plain that l must

I began to use Grape-Nuts and in
two weeks l could walk mile, and in
five weeks returned to my home and
practice, taking up hard work again.

over large areas of the state of New

of over $4,000 bales and an in

During the year in the Sydney

still larger.
