street knew that the place had been
attacked by a stubborn fire yester-
day morning.
The papers suppressed the story
and employees were given strict
orders not to mention it.
The blaze broke out on the sixth
floor and, because it was between a
showcase and a wall in the tailor
shop, the fiTemen had considerable
trouble in finding it.
While smoke was pouring from
the sixth floor firemen spent almost
a half hour seeking the blaze before
they pulled out a heavy showcase be-
hind which the flooring was on fire.
Putting the flames out was easier
than finding them and it was done
with a small loss.
The hour was so early that few
people we're in the building. If the
blaze started nearer the noon hour a
panic might have resulted.
The sight of fire enfines stopping
in front of the tall building and fire
men rushing in and out with axes
and chemical fire extinguishers at

Cause of the fire was not deter

HEAVY MEAT EATERS
HAVE SLOW KIDNEYS
Eat Less Meat If You Feel
Backachy or Have Blad-
der Trouble - Take
Glass Of Salts

No man or woman who eats meat
regularly can make mistake by flush
ing the kidneys occasionally, says a
well known authority. Meat forms uric
acid which excites the kidneys, they
become overworked from the strain,
get sluggish and fail to filter the waste
and poisons from the blood, then we
get sick Nearly all rheumatism, head
aches, liver trouble, nervousness, dizzi-
ness, sleeplessness and urinary disor-
ders come from sluggish kidneys.
The moment you feel dull ache in
the kidneys or your back hurts or If
the arine is cloudy, offensive, full Of
sediment, irregular of passage or at
tended by sensation Of scalding, stop
eating meat and get about four ounces
Of Jad Salts from any pharmacy; take
a tablespoonful in a glass of water be-
fore breakfast and in a few days your
kidneys will act inc. This famous salts
is made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with lithia, and
has been used for generations to flush
and stimulate the Kidneys, also to neu-
tralize the acids in urine so it no longer
causes irritation, thus ending bladder
weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
iniure; makes delightful effcrves-
cent Hthia-water drink which every
one should take now and then to keeI
the kidneys clean and active and the
blood pure, Nerby avoiding serious
kidney complications.
