DOG SUFFOCATED IN EARLY MORNING
 FIRE IN BOSWELL AVENUE HOUSE

What is considered by the fire depart ment as one of the worst fire hazards in the city because of the accumulation of in1anmable material came to light Friday morning when the department was called out fer small blaze in the house at No. 46 Boswell avenue owned and occupied by Frederick F. Nowatzky. The fire dam age was negligible as the blaze had lit tie chance to gain any headway. Given ten or fifteen minutes more the blaze would probably have destroyed the three story wooden frame building, the fremen believe.
 A few minutes before 2.3o o'clock Fri day morning the central fire station re- ceived q telephone message from the residence of John H. Cleary, next door to tn Nowatzky house-to the effect that the Nowatzky house was on fire and that the occupants couldn't be awakened. Two Norwich young men by the name of Callahan and Counihan, who were on their way home had seen smoke coming from the chimney of the house in con- sidrable volume and after watching it for a while and going to the rear of the house where they get the odor of burn l ing rags decided there must be a fire l woke up the Cleary family and had the l telephone call sent in.
 l Upon the firemen's arrival at the house smoke was issuing from the rear of the kitchen and the cracking of flame. could be heard. Deputy Chief Henry R Taft immediately gave orders to pull il Box 21, Broad street and Boswell ave | nue.
 Within the space of a minute or two after the arrival of the department cloud | of smoke began to roll out of the kitcher in the second story apartment where tn l fire was located. Neither the door O, the front side of the kitchen nor the cn' in the rear could be opened and 1t wa discovered that they were securely lock | ed. MT. Nowatzky was not in the hous
 at the time the fire broke out and the oc
 cupants on the gr1und floor, who wer
 asleep, knew nothing of the fire until the.

they had thrown out onto the lawn large pile of the rubbish and junk
 The door at the rear of the kitchen was found barred and locked and had to be torn from it's hinges. The door, which opened inward, could not be budged as rubbish and junk had been piled up back of it. Neither could entrance be forced through the window cn the rear until a quantity of junk had been pushed over or | thrown out into the yard.
 Automobile parts. an old tire, empty can, oil cans, old newspapers; rags. wood en boxes, boards of all sizes, junk iron. a box of matches, and many other articles | of little or no value were found piled up | in the house in confused heaps.
 1 After gaining entrance to the kitchen l the fires..an found couple of iron safety boxes, one of which it was later learn ed contained silver in nickels and dimes and the other paper money, in- surance papers, etc.
 The safety boxes, 1t was afterwards | learned, had been left on a. table in the kitchen by MT. Nowatzky. The valuables were returned to Mr. Nowatzky when he | arrived at the house about half an hour l after the bell alarm.
 MT Nowatzky has been using the place merely for. storage and has been living al the home of his parents at 5S Washington i street, where heezwas notified of the fire by the police thraugh Capt. D.

 Nowhere in nature is irca found ir a native or pure state. It occurs only in the form of oxides-that Is to say iron rusts.

The Home Should
 Be Happy

The greatest tragedy this side oi death is unhappiness in marriage. Such a seemingly small thing as a bad pain of shoes can start the wreck of home, even as a few drops of rain are said to have caused Napoleon's defeat at Waterloo.
 It's usually impossible to trace the very beginning of a lovers quarrel. but the imagination does not have to go far to see that a tight. uncomfortable shoe causes . nervous strain which may result in a disagreement totally unnecessary. 4 cramped foot is nc thing to trifie with; but all husbands do not know this.
 Not only is she jeopardizing her marital happiness, but almost any wife is taking chances with her strength and health when she wears shoes which are hurting her feet, per- haps weakening the muscles so thai fallen arches will develop.
 Happy married life grows out of mutual love. common sense. a great deal of sympathy. patience and for ! bearance, and a fair amount of good nature on both sides Of the table Cantilever Shoes will not reincarnate 1 love where there was no love: bui hthey cultivate the ingredients of happy married life.
 Cantilever Shoes are properly shaped for health and comfort. The flexible arch supports the foot restfully and yet permits the muscles to keep their important strength by exercise and good circulation. The arch muscles are not restrained as by the rigid shank of all ordinary shoes: the foot feels light and free. A comfortable shoe like the good looking cantilevel keeps a woman in a happy frame O; mind. A good disposition is lovabl. everywhere, especially in the home.
 We are the sole agents for Cantilevei Shoes.
