WOMAN WITH —_— | Mrs. Shaplin Earns Title of Heroine. the Saves the Home of| a Neighbor by Brave Act BERKELEY, July 6.—Hoping to save the house of her neighbor, M LR Whitman, from destruction by fire last night, Mrs. Lutie Shaplin, whose home adjoins Mrs. Whitman's, at 1926 Louisa street, climbed unaided to the roof of the burning dwelling, directed the ground to throw up hose to her, and then dis- carded skirt and bodice to lessen her | the danger of being burned herself. Thus scantily arrayed, the intrepid | | woman stood upon the roof of the; | burning structure ard, with the hose, | threw a stream of water upon the mnaining until all danger of ¢ being destroyed was over. It y for Mrs. Shaplin to tear away the shingles on the roof with her own hands in different spots in qgder i the water down to where the fire had spread in the rafters of the dwelling. She did not hesitate at any stage of the proceedings, either in the daring climb to the roof by way of a rear porch, or when her white hands were blistered and blackened by the smoking shingles which - she pulled from the roof. The casting off of the skirt and waist disconcerted her for a few moments, as she admitted after her daring exploit was concluded, but when it became apparent that such an unusual measure was demanded by the peculiar situation she hesitated no longer and o the unique performance was rounded out with true melodra- matic flavor. The urning building belonged to Whitman, who is an invalid, sub- failure. Mrs. Whitman sat on tue porch of her home throughout the affair and did not know until was over what had taken place. It was to e Mrs. Whitman from the shock which the coming of | the fire department would nave brought that Mrs. Suaplin decided to to extinguish the blaze herself in- stead of calling in the paid firefight- erE. Wthen Mrs. Whitman learned of her neighbor's exploit she fainted and has since suffered from the shock so poignantly that a physielan’s care has been necessary. Mr Shaplin scouts the idea that she has done anything remarkable when friends congratulate her upon the dar- ing and nerve displayed. Except for minor burns and the strain her arms were put to in ¢limbing to the roof Mrs. Shaplin was not injured. {INDORSE OPENING OF WASHINGTON STREET Central Improvement Club to Circulate Petition to the Council.

This is sick headache, and is dangerous, as frequent and prolonged attacks weaken the brain, resulting in loss .of m ., inflammation, ~ &pi- lepsy, fits, dizziness, etc. Allay this stormy, irritated, aching condition by taking Dr. Miles’ Anti-Pain Pills. They stop the pai by sooth- ing,- strengthening and relfev- ing the tension upon the nerves —not by paralyzing them, as do most headache r F
