when Dana's Sarsaparilla was it it's

the most costly residences in the city.

now the City Park. so that strangers
coming into the city by boat have fire.
quently made the mistake Of believing
that the entire tract of land from the
house to the shore, comprising many
acres, was all one estate. With bust
ness reverses the house passed into
the hands Of Mr.. Hanson's creditors,
was taken over by the banks and for
many years lay idle, unoccupied. and
began to run down. During all that

lease her dover rights in the estate

work. painters had prepared to go
, through the house from end to end,

into shape when it was destroyed
within a few hours. Nothing is left
but a pile Of charrcd timbers and
bricks. While the architecture of the
house was not what most people would
build today. having been designed
when turrcts. spires. cupolas. and an
excess of trimming was in fashion, it
| was one of the largest and most pre-
tcntious places in the city and it will
be good news to hear that Mr.. Carver
plans to build another house. fully as
large as that which was burned. Mr..
Carver has spent few summers in
Camden but charmed with the scenery
Of the upper Pcnobscot Bay. he will
bring his family to Belfast If he can
, find suitable house which he can
lease FOR the summer. He was only
partially covered by insurance. While
the direct cause of the fire is unknown
it undoubtedly caught around n defec-
tive chimney, fire having been built
for two days. The worllmen. however.
did not notice it and it was discovered
by people in a passing motor BY the
time the alarm was given and the fire
department arrived it had made such
Roadway that nothing could save it.
Notwithstanding a pouring rain hun

watched the fire for hours.

By Father in Case of His
Daughter
Declares TanIao Restored Delicate
Child To Perfect Reimbursement
Is, Trouble, Weakness And Nervous
ness Ended. ".

"Since Tanlac made such a re-
markable improvement in my health
I have given the same treatment to
my little eight year old girl and now
she is a new and different child" Is
the grateful statement made recently
by Henry E. Corbeil, Of 81 Putnam
Ave-, Cambridge. Mass.
alberta had never been well and
we always felt worried over her con-
dition. However, about six months
before we gave her Tanlac she be-
came very pale and weak and. being
already languid and emaciated. we
naturally felt more anxious about her
than ever.
"She complained Of an Ill feeling
stomach and scarcely ate anything.
She suffered much from constipation
and often had nervous. crying spells.
In this nervous. weakened condition
she did not do so well at school, and
little while at play seemed to eX-
haust her completely.
Never in our lives have we seen
such a wonderful improvement in a
child as Tanlac has made in our lit
tie girl, and even the ncighbors are
surprised at her rapid recovery. She
not only eats her fun portion at
every meal; but she often has to eat
four and five times Gay. She
sleeps as child should, is no longer
nervous, and has no more crying
spells. She takes much more inter-
est in play and we can see a great
improvement in her school work.
There's nothing too good we can say
for Tanlac."
Tanlac is for sale by all good
druggists. Accept no substitute.
Over 81 million bottles Sold.
!Tanlac Vegetable Pills are natures
own remedy for constipation. For
sale everywhere.
