main exhibition hall at the Rockville
fair grounds caught fire and within
a short time was burned to the
ground. The Rockville volunteer fire.
men, who had just returned from a
fire at Brookeville, were promptly on
the scene, but, because of the infiam-
able character of the frame building.
were unable to do anything toward
saving the structure, so they concen-
trated their efforts on preventing the
flames from spreading to other fair
ground buildings, in which they were
successful.
AS several frame buildings seventy
five yards away and in the direction
the wind was blowing. were consider
ed in danger, the volunteer fire COM
panies at Kensington and Silver

responded promptly and remained On
the scene until all danger of further
trouble had passed. Notwithstanding
the hour, virtually all of Rockville
and vicinity turned out to watch the
big blaze.
4 portion of the building was old,
having been built something like
sixty years ago, and was boia un-
slightly and untitled for the purposes
Tor which it was used, but the front
was comparatively new and in good
condition. The loss is placed at about
$4,000 and is partially covered by in

caused few, if any, regrets, as it
means the erection of more modern
structure, the need of which has long
been felt.

o'clock last night. and resulted in the
total destruction of the store building
Of Henry Howard, adjoining the
Howard residence. The building had
not been used for store purposes since

but was used by Mr.. Howard as a
workshop. 1t was worth about $4,000
and was insured.
Quick Run Made.

spreading to nearby property and
wiping out a large portion of the

THE GREAT
DANGER OF HIGH
BLOOD PRESSURE

Thousands Of men and women
have high blood pressure and do not
realize 1t. Dizziness, headaches,
sleeplessness, nervousness are some
of the tell-tale signs. 1t Is usually
caused by some functional derange-
ment Of the vital organs such as the
liver or kidneys or a habitual clog
ging Of the intestines. When this
happens, as 1t usually does, in mid
die life, Nature calls for help and
the heart tries to nswer by doing
double work; by pumping more
blood to the attacked part of the
body.
This creates a terrific pressure and
often results in apoplexy, OF which
we read so often.
A simple, safe remedy for high
blood pressure and the conditions
that cause it, is now offered IN sci

your high blood pressure by acting
