Tyre left the child in the front room about 6 o'clock when she went across the street teethe butcher shop. She was gone but a. few minutes, but on returning found that the boy had been burned. The little fellow told himself how the accident happened. He said that he was cold and wanted to light a fire in the stove.

He had some matches and was striking them and his clothing caught fire. He wore a loose blouse waist which easily ignited. When the boy saw that his clothing was on fire he screamed loudly and Mr. Nickey, who has a room across the hall, heard the cries and rushed into the room and found the boy in flames. The fire was quickly put out and Mr.

Nickeycmanaged to prevent the flames reaching the boy's face. He was not burned at all in the face but was badly burned around the waist and on the arms and hands. Dr. Bayly was called and dressed the wounds. It appeared that the boy would recover from his injuries if no inflammation sets in.

The child was very brave about the accident and submitted to the dressing of the wounds more quietly than would most children and after he was wrapped up in bandages he told how it all happened.

That such is the case has been conclusively proven by scientific research. Prof. Unna, the noted European skin specialist, declares that dandruff is the burrowed-up cuticle of the scalp, caused by parasites destroying the vitality in the hair bulb.

The hair becomes lifeless, and, in time, falls out. This can be prevented. Newbro's Herplcide kills this dandruff germ, and restores the hair to its natural softness and abuudancy.

I was then a widow living alone and was often too ill to get my meals; hearing of Grape-Nuts as a ready cooked food I purchased a package for convenience only, thinking it would at least keep me from "It was delicious and after a week's diet with little besides Grape-Nuts and cream I had improved so as to be a wonder to myself.

A different story-from that of the wagon driver was told by an eye witness of the acident. He stated that the gong was sounded before the car struck the horse, the motorman beginning to ring when he was about 150 feet from the wagon. The wagon was being driven along with two of the wheels on the track and the other on the outside of the track. The motor-man set the brakes but the wheels slipped and he then reversed the car. but the wheels still slipped.

He then shut off the power and set the brakes and they still refused to work and the car struck the horse. The driver had started to drive across the track just as he saw the car and brought the lines down unon the back of the horse and rave him a pull which nearly brought him to his, knees. The car then struck him and carried it about 35 feet. PERSONALS. Mrs.
