$1,000,000 FIRE GUTS BRADFORD, 0., WORK OF FIREBUG, THOUGHT The business section of Bradford, O., Pennsylvania railroad junction town of 2,000 population, between Richmond and Columbus, was destroyed by fire early Wednesday, only blackened ruins and smouldering debris remaining where, a few hours ago, business houses and residences stood. Twenty-three business houses and nine residences were destroyed, the loss totalling $1,000,000. The fire started In the property of Arnold & Sons Lumber company and J. H. Layer and D. R. Faun, who discovered the blaze, stated that they noticed an odor of oil, leading the authorities to believe the fire was of an incendiary origin. The water supply was exhausted and volunteer workers, with firemen fmm Pinna. Greenville. Covington,

Gettysburg and Versailles, were unable to combat the flames. The principal loser was the Arnold company, whose loss on buildings alone reached $150,000. The postoffice and First National bank were destroyed. Other losses included Tower a drug store; Porter & Stover, furniture; Ora Stover, photographer; C. E. Livingston, poolroom and residence; Star theatre and flat above; the Arnold & Iddings elevator; L. C. Garver's residence; Dr. C. W. Bausmans office and residence; Fred Durr's residence; Albert Wise's residence; L. E. Harvey's law office; the Bradford Telephone exchange and Moore's hardware store. North of Railroad Y. M. C. A. The fire was directly north of the Pennsylvania railroad Y. M. C. A., in the block between Miami avenue and Main street and in this area no one building is standing. So peat was the heat that concrete and brick buildings were reduced to dust. The block Is obliterated, and there is comparatively little debris left to be removed before the work of rehabiliation can be begun. Immediately after the alarm had been sounded the entire village was awakened by the cries of those at the scene of the blaze, whose realization of the danger confronting the village was evident. The Bradford fire company, with equipment inadequate for such a fight, was assisted by citizens. Hampered as the firemen were by the small pump and short lines of hose the volunteers aided in the battle for 10 hours. At 11 o'clock, when it was evident that the town was entirely at the mercy of the flames, telephone calls for aid were sent to Piqua, Greenville, Gettysburg, Covington, Versailles and cmaller towns were called upon for their volunteer briglides Within an hour all the equipment summoned was at the scene, but the water supply gave out, leaving the visiting firemen, under the direction of Chief P. J. Caulfield, of the Piqua department, to fight the flames with nerve alone. The telephone exchange was ablaze when the calls for outside assistance were sent out by Anna Lehman and Gerna Gutheil, operators. Half an hour later the building was a blackened mass of ruins. A few minutes later great masses of wire fell from burning cables, and Bradford was cut off from all outside communication. Railroad Trains Are Stalled. Pennsylvania railroad trains by the dozen, passengers and freight alike, were stalled at the crossings where lines of hose were on the tracks, and passengers and crews went to the aid of the fire fighters. Permission was granted by the

Pennsylvania railroad officials for use

of water from the road s towers in the village, and when the supply of water was exhausted the railroad officials placed other equipment at the use of the villagers. One erncerv remains in the town.

Dandiuffy Heads Become Hairless

If you want plenty of thick, beautiful, glossy, silky hair, do by all means get rid of dandruff, for it will starve your

hair and ruin it if you don t.

It doesn't do much good to try to brush or wash it out. The only sure way to get rid of dandruff is to dissolve It, then you destroy it entirely. To do this, get about four ounces of ordinary liquid arvon; apply it at night when retiring; use enough to moisten the scalp and rub It in gently with the

finger tips.

By morning, most if not all, of your dandruff will be gone, and three or

four more applications will completely dissolve and entirely destroy every

single sign and trace of it.

You will find, too, that all itching

and digging of the scalp will stop, and your hair will look and feel a hundred times better. You can get liquid arvon at any drug store. It is inexpensive

and four ounces is all you will need, no

matter how much dandruff you have.

This simple remedy never fails. Ad-

BEATS GASOLINE AT 15 GENTS A GALLON

New Invention Makes Fords Run 34 Miles on Gallon of Gasoline. Other Cars Show Proportionate Savings.

A new carburetor which cuts down the gasoline consumption of any motor, including the Ford, and reduces gasoline bills from one-third to onehalf is the proud achievement of the Air Friction Carburetor Co., 305 Madison St., Dayton, Ohio. This remarkable invention not only Increases the power of all motors from 30 to 50 per cent, but enables everyone to run slow on high gear. With it you can use the very cheapest grade of gasoline or half gasoline and half kerosene and still get more power and more mileage than you now get from the highest test gasoline. Many Ford owners say they now get as hfgh as 45 or 50 miles to a gallon of gasoline. So' sure are the manufacturers of the immense saving their new carburetor will make that they offer to send it on 30 days' trial to every car owner. As it can be put on or taken off in a few minutes by anyone all readers who want to try it should send their name, address and make of car to the manufacturers at once. They also want local agents to whom they offer exceptionally large profits. Write them today Advertisement.
