directions.
Two men were injured. l.. ].
Allard, one of the members of
the firm, was struck on the head
with the flying bricks, and was
taken to the hospital. Sam Prick,
a foundry worker, was injured
about the head and arms, tho not
seriously.
A cali to fire headquarters from
the office of the st. Paul & Taco
MA Lumber Co. was received a
minute after the explosion, and
Fire Chief Carlson and two en-
gines arrived on the scene a few
minutes later. There was little
or no blaze, however. The explo-
sion completely demolished the
work shop. which is a one-story
frame building.
More than 20 men are en-
ployed at the foundry, most of
whom were working around the
furnace when the explosion oc-
cured. All of them were more

scraps of iron and brick.
Neither Allard nor Marsh.

sion. The only explanation Of
fered was that some of the iron
in the furnace may have con-
tanned water pockets" which on
reaching a high degree of heat in
the furnace exploded in the course
of expansion.

Doctor advised buckthorn bark,
glycerine, etc., as mixed in Adler
i-ka. ONE SPOONFUL helped
him INSTANTLY. Because Adler

CASE constipation, sour stomach
or gas and prevents appendicitis.
