Two Freight Steamers Burned
and Other Vessels DAM
aged at Their Pier.
HAVE NO EVIDENCE OF A PLOT
Bolton Castle and Pacific Were oad-
ing War Supplies Destined for
England and Russie.

New York, Feb. IA $4,000 600
fire virtually destroyed two steamers
and damaged other vessels at the New
York Dock Company's pier in Brook
lyn yesterday. 1t was brought under
control only after hours of hard fight
ing
A statement issued on behalf of the
agents for the owners of the burned
steamships said their investigation
thus far has failed to develop any
evidence which would lead to the con-
cius1on that the fire was of incen-
diary origin
One Man Missing.
All except one of the twenty coolies
missing shortly after the fire broke
out nave been accounted for The cap
tain of the Bolton Castle and a sea
man aboard the Pacific, the vessels
burned, had thrilling escapes from
death.
Inc two steamers were reported to
be loading with war supplies, includ-
ing much oil and parafin, for Vladi-
Vostok or England ports. This report
gave rise to rumors of bomb plot.
Another report, however, said that a
short circuit of electric wires in the
OFFICES of the dock company started
the blaze. which swept rapidly along
the 7OO-foot pier and set fire to the
steamers while their crews were
asleep.
Swan 'in Flaming Water
There was an explosion of gasoline
and a hundred men from the vessels
and lighters jumped into the water.
Burning gasoline spread over the sur
race of the water and the men had to
swim through IL for their lives Many
were scalded. Scores of others were
taken from the water by tugs
When the first company of firemen
reached the scene the pier was blaz-
ing so furiously that they could not
gain access to it. The steamer Pal
lazia was towed into the stream 200
yards or more off the dock, but it was
impossible to move the other two
steamships
The Bolton Castle was loading with
gasoline for Russia and this fed the
blaze. The boilers of both the Bolton
Castle and the Pacific blew up when
the fire was at its height. Several
barges loaded with gasoline lying near
the steamers were destroyed Fire
boats prevented a spread of the fire
to adjoining piers and by daylight had
it under control.

Authorizes Use of His Name in Ohio
misunderstanding to Enter
Contest.

Washington, Feb. 15.-President
Wilson today formally gave his con-
sent that his name be used as a can
didate for denomination.
In a letter to the secretary of state
of Ohio the President said he was un-
willing to enter contest for the nom

l am inclosing to you a letter the &C.

Not a Bite of
Breakfast Until
You Drink Water
Says a glass of hot water and =,
phosphate prevents illness
and keeps US fit.

Just as coal, when it burns, leaves
behind a certain amount of incom-
bustible material in the form of ashes,
SO the food and drink taken day after
day leaves in the alimentary canal a
certain amount of indigestible mate
rial, which if not completely eliminat-
ed from the system each day, becomes
food for the millions of bacteria which
infest the bowels. From this mass of
leftover waste, toxins and ptomaine-
like poisons are formed and sucked
into the blood.
Men and women who can't get feel
ing right must begin to take inside
baths. Before eating breakfast each
morning drink a glass of real hot wa
ter with a teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate in it to wash out of the
thirty feet of bowels the previous days
accumulation of poisons and toxins
and to keep the entire aIimentary
canal clean, pure and fresh.
Those who are subject to sick head
ache, colds, biliousness, constipation,
others who wake up with bad taste,
foul breath, backache, rheumatic stiff
ness, or have a sour, gassy stomach
after meals, are urged to get a quarter
pound of limestone phosphate from
any druggist or storekeeper, and be-
gin practicing internal sanitation
This will cost very little, but is suffi-
cient to make anyone an enthusiast
on the subject.
Remember inside bathing is more
important than outside bathing, be-
cause the skin pores do not absorb
impurities into the blood, causing poor
health, while the bowel pores do.
Just as soap and hot water cleanses,
sweetens and freshens the skin, SO
hot water and limestone phosphate
act on the stomach, liver kidneys and
bOwels.-Adv

though the shortage has nothing to do
with scarcity of gold There are
three main causes for the wedding
