Clouds of smoke greeted The Effects of Opiates. HAT INFANTS are peculiarly susceptible to opium and its various preparations, all of which are narcotic, is well known. Even in the smallest doses, if continued, these opiates cause changes in the func- tions and growth of the cells which are likely to become permanent, causing imbecility, mental perversion, a craving for alcohol or narcotics in later life. Nervous diseases, such as intractable nervous dyspepsia and lack of staying wers are a result of dosing with opiates or narcotics to keep children quiet E\) their infancy. The rule among physicians is that children should never receive opiates in the smallest doses for more than a day at a time, and only then if unavoidable. 3 g The administration of Anodynes, Drops, Cordials, Soothing Syrups and other narcotics to children by any but a physician cannot be too_ strong! decried, and the di ist should not be = party to it. Children who areill need the attention of a physician, and it is nothing less than a crime to dose them willfully with narcotics.

Gross, the junior partner of the con- cern, also remembered that the safe containing valuable papers and a large sum of money, had been left open and he followed the girl to the office. He succeeded in finding his way to the safe and locking it, but as he started back to the door again, he stumbled over the body of Miss Levine who had been overcome by the smoke. He lifted her up and carried her to the door but was unable to go any further. Scorched and Singed. Employes rushed to the top of the stairway and carried Miss Levine to the sidewalk while others assisted Gross. The bookkeeper was removed to her hame. Gross was quickly re- vived, and he helped the firemen in dragging the hose lines to the burn- ing building. Most of those who had come out were without hats and coats. Some of the young women complained that their clothes had been scorched and their hair somewhat singed. The place was a veritable fire trap, and had it not been for the fire drills in which the employees were trained to get out in the proper manfer, it is not stretching the facts to say that there would probably have been a fire horror similar to that of the Triangle shirtwaist factory in New York, in which scores of yYoung women were killed. There were only two exite, one a stairway, in the middle of the build- ing, leading from the street to the workrooms ‘on the second floor, and another stairway at the north side of the building leading from the streets to the offices of the concern. On all sides of the building, the windows, excepting a few in the front on the second floor, were covered with iron bars. To Prevent Burglaries. Tt is said that the iron bars had been installed on account of several burglaries at the plant. Only two weeks or so ago thieves again gotinto the place by sawing the bars in the windows, and they carrief away a large quantity of goods. A policeman was kept on watch afterwards for about a week, but the culprits did not return. Accordingf to a fire department offi- cial the condition of the building had been learned from inspection work reported to the building inspector, as beyond the powers of the fire depart- ment to remedy. Cause of Fire Unknown. Just how the fire started has not been determined. One theory was that some one had thrown a match into the bin. Only the women worked near the bin, however, and they, of course, had no occasion to use match- es. There was an electric light over the bin, but no electric wires running through any part of it. Another theo- ry is that oil in the workrooms caught fire from spontaneous combustion. Very little oil is used in the plant, howeyer, as only a few drops are re- quired for the machines every two weeks. Other Property Damaged. A sausage factory was separated from the burning building by an alley on the north side. Two houses close to the plant on the south side caught fire. One was a brick building front- ing on Windsor street, and its roof was ablaze when the firemen arrived. The second was a wooden house di- rectly in back of the brick building, and not only the north wall caught fire, but also the west side. Tha flames damaged the attic considerably. Polish families occupied the build- ings. They stood in the windows with terror stricten faces, and they did not come into the open until police- men motioned to them. The flremen thus worked between two fires when they tried to get at the flames from the south side of the factory and had to tear out the GRANDMOTHER KNEW There Was Nothing So Good for, Congestion and Colds as Mustard But the old-fashioned mustard-plaster hurned and blistered while it acted.

While the fire was In progress, it was found necessary to cut down electric wires in front of the factory David DeMar, a fire department line- man, had a norrow escape from serl- ous injuries after climbing up a pole to cut the wires. While he stood in a perilous position, a stream of water broke through a window on the sec- ony story of the factory and hit him full in the body, almost knocking him off. The crowd held its breath as he recovered his position. ITALY MOVES FLEET NEARER ADRIATIC Warships Depart Suddenly From Med- | | iterranean Naval Stations to Concentrate at Augusta. On the Italian Frontier, April 7, ! via Paris, 3:56 p. m.—The warships of the Italian fleet departed suddenly on Monday from the Mediterranean naval stations at Spezia Gaeta and Maddalena island. They concen- trated at Augusta, Sicily and at Tar- anto. They are thus within a few hours of the Adriatic. The departure of these warships caused a profound impression, par- ticularly at Spezia, where until last Sunday the harbor was crowded with dreadnoughts, cruisers and torpedo- boat destroyers, while the town was filled with officers and sallors. Italy now has the finest fleet in her history. It is headed by several new dreadnoughts, of which the most for- | midable is the Conte di Cavour, which corresponds in the Italian navy to Great Britain’s Queen Elizabeth. The future movements of the fleet are veiled with absolute secrecy. It is asserted that only the king and one or two of the highest government officials are acquainted with the plans which have been decided upon. HUERTA ON WAY FROM SPAIN TO AMERICA State Department Learns Former Mex. ican Dictator is Due'to Arrive at New York saturday. Washington, April 8.—Official an- nouncement that Victoriano Huerta, late Mexican dictator, was on his way from Spain to the United States was received at the state department yes- terday from the American cansul at Seville. Huerta recently sailed on the steamer Antonio Lopez, due arrive at New York on Saturday. It will be his first visit to the United States, his defiance of which, last year in the stirring months before he vol- untarily went inta exile, led to the American occupation of Vera Cruz Just what the purpose of Huer visit may be is unknown to offic \ but it is generally believed he intends ' to confer with numerous prominent | Mexicans associated with him in his administration who have gathered in New York since the triumph of the | constitutionalist forces in Mexico, or Is, perhaps intends to make his residence | \here. Belief has prevailed in official quarters here that many of the Mex- icans now in exile would sooner later join whatever faction was parently getting the upper hand the present struggle. ap- in NORWAY ASKS PLANATOIN Christiania, April 7, via London, April 8.—The Norweigian government ‘as approached Germany for an ex. ‘Janation of the sinking by a Ge man submarine of the Norwegian bark Nor on April 2 in the North Sea. he Norwegian government peints out that the bark was loaded with lumber and that lumber was removed from the list of contraband by Germany about the middle of i March. to or | i The article declares the only resi%t plates concludi: of the war will be reciprocal wearing in order to defend lout of the forces engaged and not ' Italy are not so viglo a military victory.
