Interment will be at Bybee, Va., tomorrow. Fire board attendants today praised the manner in which news of the hlaze was relayed to them by the tele- | phone company. Miss Ethel Thompson of the Atlantic exchange heard a wom- an's voice, believed to have been that of Miss Goodwin, yell “fire.” Miss Sylvia S. Marshall of the Lincoln ex- change traced the call. Through the quick work of these two young women, the fire department was notified and several companies were dispatched to the blaze before the first alarm was sounded. Miss Goodwin was burned fatally when she opened a dumbwaiter shaft in which the flames were confined.

At the first sign of bad! bfeath, coated tongue or feverish- ness, give her a little California Fig Syrup. Children love the rich, fruity flavor of California Fig Syrup, and it never fails to start lazy bowels quick, cleanse them thoroughly and give tone and strength to| them and to the stomach so these | organs continue to act normally, of their own accord.

Pigott, 516 C St., N.E, says: “My little daugh- ter, Helen, suffered from constipa- tion until I thought it was going to keep her delicate always. She was losing weight fast when I started her on California Fig Syrup. In a few days it made a world of difference in her looks and actions. Now I'm proud as I can be of her; she’s so ruddy,| strong and plump.” Over four million bottles used a year shows the popularity of the genuine.
