ANOTHER FIRE

Due to pipe slipping out an
inch or two from fue opening,
causing fire to start in the sur
rounding paper and woodwork,
the residence Of Austin Taylor
was seriously threatened for a
short time on last Saturday fore
noon A call for help was prompt
ly responded to. Messrs. CANNED
and Thompson seized a pile of
buckets from the stock in the
store and loading them on the lat
ter's small Ford truck, accompan-
led by as many helpers as could
hang on, were soon at the scene OF
the fire. Forming a line from the
water tank to the house the fire
that had begun to char the exter-
Tor at either side of the chimney
was quickly extinguished. Mr..
Taylor had succeeded in putting
ont the fire around the fue before
assistance arrived. Fortunately
the fire was discovered before it
had eaten entirely through the
wall or sufficiently to admit a cur
rent of air.

A Soldiers Letter

Under date of October 81, John
Siebenbaum III the aviation corps,
Sacramento, Cal, writes as fol
lows TO Il. NJ. Moore of the Va
shon Light & Power Co.:
Dear Eric Just line to let
you know that | am still alive and
kicking. Have been pretty busy of
late winding up my career as a
cadet. Finally got finished up on
Tuesday and received my commits
sion yesterday. So things are look
ing up.
Owing to the "hu" we cannot
get very far away from the Post ;
so all ] have to do now is to stick
around the field awaiting orders,
which will take me either to Okla
homa or Virginia. There is a
chance of going over seas right
away; but hardly expect to be
lucky enough to draw such orders.
Everything in town is closed up
and we all nave to wear masks,
which sure are bunk" so there
is very little chance for excite.
ment.
Each day while we are at the
Post we have TO put in one hour
of flying. We are now privileged
to do anything we like, so | imme-
diately set out to see how high |
could go. Well, ! got up about
500 feet in Is minutes. Will
say that it did not take anywhere
near that length of time to get
back to mother earth. The ships
are rather heavy for the amount
of power in them, so they are not
too fast at climbing. | do not be-
lieve that it is possible to get up
very much higher with the type
of ship ] had.
Well, Eric, have just about
reached the end of my line, so will
close for the present.
AS ever, John.
Address same as before, with
Lieut.. in place of Cadet.

Tribute of Eminent Chemist on

The claims of c. s. Gross Specitic) of being the greatest blood, kidney, pellagra and rheumatism medicine has been amply proven by the testimonials of thousands of people who have been relieved of Pellagra, Rheumatism and other ailments. But it remained for the morning mail to bring to Dr. Gross the greatest testimonial to his medicine that has ever come to any proprietary medicine made in the country.
 It comes in the shape of an unsolic- ited and unexpected letter and certifi- cate from the eminent chemist, Dr. w. H. Morse, of Hartford, Conn. Hun dreds of physicians and doctors and thousands of cured people in this coun- try have given their endorsement to the splendid curative powers of c.
