Fire in Grand Island
Hospital Basement
Does Slight Damage

Grand Island, Neb., Dec. 49,
Especial Telegram Fire originat-
ing in rubbish in the basement of
the general hospital this morning
was extinguished without material
disturbance of the patients, largely,
however, because of the cool headed
action of the fire chief and the nurs-
es. The burning of the rubbish
caused a gas cap to melt The es-
Gaping gas took fire. The water
gauge in the basement was broken
and the telephone wiring burned,
but the department, after the fire
chief had advised the nurses not to
disturb the patients, successfully
fought the flames with chemicals.
The damage was nominal.

ARE YOU A
FIGHTER?
Or, Are You a Fatalist?
Let Every Citizen Fight Dis
ease. Never Surrender.
The Big Gun of Defense Is
Cadomene Tablcts-Tonic.
Or, Are You a Fatalist?

What class suffered most from
the epidemic of influenza? Author
tiles everywhere agree that those IN
temporary state of Glow vitality"
made up the major portion OF IA
talities.
If you are fatalist, you will not
believe in preparedness, but If you
are Fighter" you will see the wis
dom of keeping your body and ner-
vous system strong so that disease
will not find fertile soil in which to
carry on its ravages.
Medicine rightly used at the right
time is like the Big Guns in War"
If your vitality is low, you "catch
cold" all too readily, you are weak,
nervous and ailing with aches and
pains Of unknown origin, you tire
easily and are irritable and often
sleepless at night; digestion is
faulty, liver and bowels irregular,
appetite tickle and you never feel
bright and happy as you once did,
Strange tremors seize you, memory
seems failing and many Of the joys
of life are denied you, through lack
of energy and ambition.
Three grain Cadomene Tablets
were formulated by brilliant med
ical man, just for the treatment and
restoration to health Of those who
suffer as perhaps you do.
Millions of packages have been
sold in the past few years, and
your druggist can supply you, and
help you fight disease conditions.
