NO. 44. lie EM IS BURNED ME Touches Warm Stove with Celluloid Comb Clothing Ignites Baby' Shrieks Warn Parents Only to Find Little One's Body Mass of Flames. Extremely Bad was the ter rible accident which occured at the Townley residence on Sun day afternoon, when Arthur P. Townley, the little one year old son of Mr. and Mrs. A. A. Town ley of this city, was burned to death. The mother and her baby were in the house together, the little fellow Bitting on the floor, when she went out for a minute to see her husband who had just driven into the yard and in order to amuse the child during her absence gave him a large celluloid comb to play with. Mrs. Townley had not been gone more than a minute when heart rending cries were heard from the house aud ran back only to find her baby enveloped in a huge mass of flames. As the little fellow had been sitting near the stove, it is thought that in playing with the comb, it must have struck the warm stove, the heat in a flash igniting the celluloid comb and setting the clothing on fire. Neighbors on hearing the cries of agony and pain, rushed to the terrible scene and several ran for med ical aid but the flames had gotten so much headway in that short time that the clothing was al most entirely destroyed before anything could be done.. The skin on nearly every part of the body was in a terrible condition, in many places being burnt through to the flesh. .... The ears, nose and lips were burnt crisp and the sweet baby face of a few moments before was now beyond recognition. Drs.

A cough is like a debt in that wwww .' .. z Dotn may be easily contracted but soon become a nuisance and often mighty hard to get rid of. It takes very little to start a cough or cold. An op en window, an open door, sit ting in a draught, insufficient clothing, a sudden change from a heated interior to a cooler atmosphere these and plenty other reasons are quite suffi cient to cause one to realize that a cough or cold has lodg ed in the system. The symp toms are Blight The incon venience is trifling. But if it remains unchecked the cough grows worse and presently it develops into a downright nuis ance. The tickling sensation at first experienced is Nature's warning that an irritation is affecting the mucous membrane lining in the throat and bronchial tubes. Every tough -"affects"1" this delicate membrane. The longer you cough the more affected it be comes. Presently the mem brane becomes inflamed and congested. Coughing becomes frequent and painful, after which the results become more direct, dire and disastrous. It is therefore obvious that an effective quietus should, at the very outset, be put upon the cough. This is best done with WHITE PINS AND TAR WITH CODEINE COUGH SYRUP. nnnmwmm Prepared by Lrmnnnnn R T 141 IMT r.KiirrrrSo4- 3 MEW GOODS JUST ARRIVED All the Latest Styles AT MISS QREINEH'8 MILLINERY PARLOR8 o Condon National Bank CONDON .
