While the regular fire fighters • were equipped with the proper ; paraphernalia —which did much to l keep out the cold and freezing water—most of the civilian volun- ' teers were not. Many a topcoat, cloth jacket and trousers became water-soaked before the chill temperatures froze the garment and made the wearer move in the stiff fashion of a mechanical man. Occupants of the home and spectators were enthusiastic in itheir praise of these volunteers, who forgot personal safety and health —not to mention dry clean-

The, number who participated in the hasty removal of the buildings contents could not be accurately estimated, but at one time it was believed there were at least twoi dozen men running a “human I chain” to the second story apartment on the north side of the building. It was due to the efforts of all these volunteers that the fire loss was confined mainly to the building itself. — COMMUNISTS' (Continued from Page 1) that Williamson was born in Scotland and came to this country in 1913, the department spokesman said. ’ What To Bo For That Sluggish, Down-and-Out Feeling

Remember the time when you could eat like a horse, bubbled-over with energy, felt happy as a lark? Was it not because you liked to eat—didn’t know what indigestion was, felt strong as an ox? As age advances the “old stomach and the ever-changing blood” need help. Now you may again release vibrant energy to every muscle, fibre, cell. Every dav—every hour —millions of tiny red-bl'ood-cells must pour forth from the marrow of your bones tb replace those that are worn-out. A low blood count may affect you in several ways: no appetite, underweight, no rhergy, a run-down condition, lack of resistance to infection and disease. To get real relief you must keep up your blood strength. Medical authorities, by ane.lvsis of the blood, have by positive proof shown that SSS Tonic is imazlngly effective in building up low olood strength in non-organlc nutritional anemia. This is due to the SSS Tonic formula which contains special ini potent activating ingredients. Also, SSS Tonic helps you enjoy the food you eat by increasing the gastric dl"Tstlve juice when ft is non-organl-cafiy too Htt’e or scanty—thus the stomach will have little cause to get balky with gas, bloat and give off that sour bod teste. Don't wait! Energize your body with rich, red-blood. Start on SSS Tonic now. ts vl=t>rous blood surges throughout your whole body, greater freshness and strength should make you eat better, sleep better, feel better, work better, play better, have a healthy color glow in your skin —firm flesh fill out hollow daces.

Sen. Taft Starts Western Campaign I Plans 10 Speeches In Major Campaign Chicago, Feb. 10 —(UP) — Sen. Robert A. Taft, R„ O„ started a western campaign trip today with a declaration that the U. S. foreign aid program must not jeopardize freedom at home in the name of protecting it abroad. Taft, a candidate for the Republican presidential nomination, included that declaration in a “political. credo” prepared for delivery before the Inland Daily Press association. It was the first of 10 speeches he will deliver in five days of major campaigning in six states. Stating his political philosophy in general terms, Taft said that government should protect the the individual, insure equal ’justice under law for all, provide equality of opportunity and promote a standard of living to make happiness, possible. He said American foreign policy

“should be guided by tlfe determination to keep our .people free.” “We should not be actuated by purely altruistic desire to improve the condition of a lot of other people who have failed for centuries to do the job themselves,” said Taft, who favors trimming the Marshall plan. “We can’t build up in peacetime an armed forced which absorbs the entire productive ability of our people. We can’t give away sums so large that they force controls and government regulation and high prices and shortages which threaten the very condition, here at home we are trying to protect.” Taft reiterated his belief that government should put a “floor" under low income families to protect them from extreme hardship and poverty. He said state and local governments could not always handle the financial burden for education, medical care and

housing and he added: “I favor federal action in these fields, because the state resources are, in many respects and many places, inadequate and the states do not have the taxable resources open to the federal government.” Taft said he would oppose any program to provide free medical care, free housing or free subsistence for all because “that would indeed be socialism.” ’ 1 o 7“ —— Van Wert Man Fined After Traffic Wreck Berne, Feb. 10 — Willand Wisner, 22, of Van Wert, Ohio, paid a fine of $1 and costs amounting to $9.50 in the court of E.

A group of investigating firemen this morning were of the opipion that the fire may have started from faulty wiring in a stairway near the center of the structure and then the flames ate their way up through the walls to break out on the roof. Volunteers offered trucks and storage space for the furniture of the residents of the home and quickly hauled much of It away. The regular force of city policemen and others off duty at the time, upder the direction of chief James Borders, rerouted traffic at the scene and aided in maintaining order. Second street, which is also federal road 33, was blocked during most of, the fire.
