M.

The fireman made a quick run to the burning house when the alarm was turned in Thursday morning, and they found it ablaze in four different places. The entire structure seemed to be afire, but quick application of the chemical extinguished it and it was then found to be a coal oil fire. The flames had not hmad a chance to eat into the woodwork to any great extent, and consequently the damage was smaller than would have appeared at first.

The fire was in the west part of the house and had been started, apparent-i Thor. -iverf flames Medicne," now being introduced in this Mr. Sheneman said: "I consider Tanlac one of the fines remedies I ever used, in fact I think it is the best for it is the only medicine that has given me any permanent relief from my stomach trouble which has bothered me for so long. Before I began taking Tanlac.

my stomach often gave me great distress. During the time I suffered from this condition my whole system became nervous and run down. I could not eat a big meal without feeling stuffy and I was often troubled with severe headaches. My digestion was poor and recently it was all I could do to go to sleep when I went horn from work.

All doubt of an incendiary origin was set at rest by an inspection of the attic, where there had been no fire. The attic floor was found saturated with coal oil, and a lace curtain led up the stairway to the oil on the floor. It was so arranged that in the course of a few minutes more the flames from the second fgloor would have climbed to the attic and the roof would have been in flames in a minute.

They failed to reduce my suffering.

My desire to get rid of my trouble caused me to buy a bottle of Tanlac, which I saw advertised in the papers and which I had heard was accomplishing a great deal of good in Decatur. The medicine has certainly helped my condition and brought me great relief. "I can now eat a square meal without the least bit of the old sick feeling coming over me. My digestion is improved and I sleep better than ever before. My headaches are a thing of the past which means a whole, lot to me.

I feel better in every way and I give Tanlac all the credit for my great improvement." -Tanlac, the "Master Medicine" that brought such relief to Mr. Sheneman, is now being sold in Decatur at the well known store of the Decatur Drug company, where a personal representa you see en Arrow, think ox Coca-Cola saving the place.

Deputy marshalls Mor-garidge and LaGried came over from Springfield at 9:50 o'clock and started an investigation at once, going to the scene of the fire alone.

They were obliged to return to Springfield at noon but assured Chief Piatt that they tive of the medicine, is on nana aauy to meet the public and explain the merits of this excellent preparation.
