FIRE IN EEArAUKANT
 IN CENTRAL BUILDING

A few minutes after midnight Sunday Ire was discovered in the kitchen of the Boston Cafe ir the Central budding on Broadway conducted hy C. Anagan and before 1t could be extinguished had badly sutted the rear of the restaurant, doing damage of several thousand dol lars. Huge yslumes of black smoke rot- ed forth frsm the restaurant and flooded the whole building with a dense choking smoke through which it was difficult for the police and the hremen to make -aeir way in order te wake up the occupants of the building on the second, third and fourth hoors!
 Although fFSm the Broadway side there was very little blaze to be seen. the interior sf the kitchen in the rear was a mass of flames. Four lines of hose were laid, two in the rear and two coming into the building from the front entrance. Owing to the dense smoke it was difficult to fight the blaze and it was practically thres-auarters of an hour be- fere the recall was sounded.
 Several of the police officers whose beats are in the center of the city and several of the spectators went through | the building awakening the occupants Several of the hremen wore gas masks in the dense smoke. The occupants of the building hed scantiiy sttired and F9lteo outS1de me nuhdinS hNtll II was considered safe to. return to their rooms. l c. Anagan. proprietor of the restau- rant said that he had closed the doors of his place at s o'clock Sunday evening and had left the building about half hour later and everything at that time
 was apparently all right. He stated, however. that the gas range had been l left burning as usual in the kitchen but l did net see how this could have started any blaze. As to his loss Mr. Anagan
 was unable ts state but said that he was only partially covered by insurance and
 that from all appearances the loss would
 be several thousands of dollars.
 Chief Howard L. Stanton received a painful cut across Che fingers by flying
 glass and the wound was later dressed by Dr. 4. C. Freeman. When the alarm
 came in from Rex B on Union square there vas some difficulty in reading it as l it struck only enee, the first round be- Ling only one strike.
 The alarm was answered by the Cen 1 tral station, the Main street chemical company and the West Side company, the hrsnen all doing excellent work in the dense smoke and subduing what on the
 face Of it looked like serious fire.

New Method That
 Helps Hair Health
Sickly Dry Hair Soon Takes
 On New Life

It was quite by accident that 1t was discovered that petroleum was good tor siekly, thin, dry hair. It was found that. workers in the oil districts were seldom bald. It remained for a Bostcu firm, however. to compound a petrOieum product without the dis agreeable odor and add to it a very valuable antiseptic. This preparation is called Noonan's Hair Petrole.
 This new method of combining the stimulating and. invigorating qualities with the cleansing ingredients soon causes a clean scalp and adds beauty and lustre to hair which was almost lost. Barbers apply Noonan's Hair Petrole for IS cents, or it can be pro- cured by the bottle from drug and dept. stores or from the mfrs. direct, for q a bottle. T. Noonan & Sons, ss Portland St, Boston.
