''FIR E !''

Whats the word "Dave" Walter shouted from the front entrance of his market last Friday forenoon and Nat" Storm heard him. Within the minutest fraction of an instant "Nat" rushed to she alarm box, made that siren scream "Firel" much louder than "Dave" did, and immediately the fight was on.
 Probably 10 one in this town ever saw flames spread faster than those in Walters market, and, in spite of the fact that the boys were on the job with the chemical engine, hose and appara- Gus in almost no time, the entire market was one solid mass of fire and snaoke. The southern pine finish and xrease-filled woodwork evidently fur nished just the material the hungry flames were looking for.
 But "Presto! Changer' the moment tl,at dose of chemicals began to ''butt in" the scene began to look less like a
 
 the trick was done.
 Once again we have seen demon. strated convincing argument in favor of Canaan Hose Go. No. |; convinc. ing proof of their efficiency in fighting fire and saving thousands of dollars worth of property. When it comes to . case of getting there quickly, and proficiency in handling the "tools," there are few country organizations tiaat can touch the Canaan boys, and tine work they have already done prove xt-
 The excitement of the market fire had scarcely worked out of their sys- tems and all hands were quietly repos. ing in the arms of Morpheus, when the nnearthly howl of the fire siren in the middle of the night said "get thee out of thy nice warm hunks and hie thy selves hence into the cold world" to 6ght the fire in the railroad yard. What more joyous sound can fireman imagine than the fire alarm in the mid- dle of cold winter night
 While this second fire-only fifteen hours after the other-was hopeless ease, being the storage house for oil and supplies, and nothing could be done but to prevent the flames spread. ing to other property. yet the boys were sn' the job and everything was done Chat it was possible for anyone to do.
 In summing up the fire in Walters market, the good work of the firemen stood out conspicuouly to those who viewed the ruins from the street. The partition between the market and the atore of ethe Canaan Mercantile Co.,, was completely charred on the market side and no sign of disturbance ap. peared on the other side, where the goods all stood on the shelves unharmed within an inch or two, in some cases, of the burned wood. Although the nose was laid ready for action, not a drop of water was used, which, of course, saved the goods in the basement From water damage. Canaan has urely been very fortunate in the mat Ser of fire, in that no really disastrous fires, nor those which might have re- suited disastrously, occurred before the organization of Canaan Hose Co.,. No. \. Since then goodly number have started, but in most cases have been stamped out before serious consequences resulted.
 Ft is not difficult to imagine what might have been the result in the case of the Walters market fire-but it didn't reach that stage, thanks to Ca- naan Hose Go. No. 1.

NEW Yc Rk SUN REVIEW.

New York, April 5.-The New York
Evening Sun financial review today
said:
Today's stock market was a con-
fusing affair with bear pressure the
dominating factor. There was q good
deal of liquidation from various
sources. particularly in the steel equip
ment shares, with growing apprecia-
ton of the problems inherent in the
governments war financing plans.
The decisive vote of the United
States senate carrying the war reso-
luton was about what was expected.
Pending vote in the house, Wall
street was disposed to give serious
consideration to the taxation project.
In some banking quarters 1t is felt
that there should be an issue of long
term bonds in order that the burden of
war should be equitably borne by both
the present and future generations.
There is little doubt that there will be
increased taxes as soon as congress
can get down to that business.
The possibility for Iurther burdens
caused widespread selling in the steel,
equipment and munitions groups,
which nturn served to depress the
entire list in more or less active trad
ing.
United States Steel sold as low as
113, points down. The Bethlehem
Steel shares lost to points and
losses elsewhere in the steel stocks
were from to points. This move
ment was somewhat accelerated by the
plans for mobilization Of steel indus
tries.
The equipment and munition stocks
sold off to points or so with some
recovery here and there.

As OUT OF DATE
AS HORSE CARS
Says Corn Rings, Plasters,
Razor and Eating Salves
Are Taboo Now.

Good things should be passed along.
1t is now said that a few drops of a
drug called freezone applied directly
upon a tender. aching corn relieves the
soreness and soon the entire corn, root
and all, can be lifted out without pain.
For little cost a quarter of an ounce
of freezone can be obtained from any
drug store which Is claimed to be suf-
ficient to remove every hard or soft
corn or callus from ones feet.
This is drug recently announced
from Cincinnati. 1t is gummy but
dries the moment 1t is applied and
simply shrivels up the corn without
inflaming or even Irritating the
healthy tissue or skin.

San Francisco, April 5.-A move
ment to repudiate and perhaps to re-
