6th. 1930. Witness: ELLEN E. MURRAY MOSONTOWN HAS ANOTHER BLAZE; LOSS IS $10,000 Masontown firemen, between two and five o'clock Monday morning, fought one of the hottest blazes they have encountered this year when fire completely destroyed the grain and feed store belonging to Morris Sosln on. South Main street and sent thousands 'of burning sparks all over the town to the tear and dread of the populace.

No one knows the origin of the blaze which -apparently started In the hay on the first floor. When the two borough Are trucks arrived on the scene the wooden structure was crackling in flames and the blaze made rapid headway. Colli Organt, who resides next door in a flat above his garage, together with members of the DeBardo family, were forced to flee when the heat became bo Intense It cracked the window canes on the side of the house adjoining the burning, building. There after, the firemen devoted their el-forts to saving the surrounding structure, letting the one builuing burn and rlylng water on each side to pre vent a conflagration. At four o'clock, just when It seemed that the structure had been reduced to ashes carrying with It Sosln's sedan car, a truck and a half dozen old car bodies in a junk yard in the rear, a sudden explosion shot flames and burning embers 100 feet In the air and causerl a momentary panic.

The firemen believe it was the bursting of a gasolino barrel which was kept In the junk yard with an emergency supply of gasoline. Sparks flew to various parts of the city and ignited a number of fields. and giro good sufficient anil proper deeds for any and or all of my real estate situate either In Pennsylvania, West Virginia or elsewhere without application to and consent of any court.

xRE you prepared to render first aid and quick comfort the moment your youngster has an upset of any eort? Could you do the right thing immediately though the emergency came without warning perhaps tonight? Castoria is a mother's standby at such times. There is nothing like it in emergencies, and nothing better for everyday use. For a sudden attack of colic, or for the gentle relief of constipation; to allay a feverish spell, or to soothe a fretful baby that can't sleep. This pure vegetable preparation is always ready to ease an ailing youngster. It is just as harmless as the recipe on the wrapper reads.
