A serious aspect of it all is that Chief Croker makes the open charge that the palketnen on post ain the neighborhood were negligent in their duty and that their tardiness ‘fn turning in an alarm is responsible for the headway which the fire fained. The police deny this, but Chief Croker laughed in their faces and said that the condition in which the first firemen to arrive at the burn- ‘tng buildings found things proves absolutely that no policemen were in athe neighborhood to turn in an alarm for a long time after the factories vere blazing. | ‘LUMBER YARDS ALSO ABLAZE.

Three good doctors said they couldn't save him—it had gone too far. I was in despair. A friend urged me to try Warner's Safe Cure, which had cured him some years before. The first few doses helped my boy and he was soon com- pletely cured. The doctors made a careful examination and declared every trace of kidney trouble had positively disappeared. “He is now married, with a family of beautiful, healthy children, and has never had a touch of kidney trouble from that day to this.” Jo- seph Skerry, New Ross, Nova Scotia, Canada, Warner's Safe Cure !s the only kid- ney medicine that has stood the test of time.
