In 181*8 1 had an unusually severe attack of
Dronchitis, and the best doctors said 1 would

to resist the disease. Nothing they gave me had
any effect.

It sived my life. It brought back my strength,
and i have not been si' k a day since.

Guests, In Terror, Rush From Their

Controlled.
Chicago, Jan. 20.—Ill-fortune of Chi
cago theatrical people during the last
few weeks was again in evidence at a
lire in the Grand Palace hotel, Indi
ana and Clark streets, early today,
nearly two hundred members of theat
rical troupes being driven into the
street.
The fire originated on the second
panic was averted and the frightened
men and women assisted from the
structure in safety.
The fire originated in the second
floor, supposedly from crossed electri
cal wires, and was carried quickly
up the elevator shaft by a draught to
the top floor.
Joseph Northrop, a guest of the ho
tel, saw the smoke in the shaft and
ran down stairs in the rear of the
building to notify the night clerk. The
clerk immediately started awakening
the guests and Northrop stepped into
the elevator, ran it upward through
the smoke and flames and helped
arouse the guests on the top floor.
The halls were soon filled with ex
cited men and women. The cooler
guests were compelled to force them
back from the windows and fire es
capes toward which a rush was being
made. A number of women were
preparing to jump from the windows
when policemen arrived and aided fhe
work of restraint and rescue. The
women were led to a rear stairway,
down which they escaped through the
smoke that was pouring upward from
the lower floors.
Miss l/mise .Mitchell, who had •<een
hemmed in by the flames, was rescued
by the firemen and taken down a fire
escape.
Few of the guests had time to dress,
hut a number of the women had
thought of their theatrical wardrobes
SOCIETY GIRLS ON STAGE.
Prominent Columbus Women In Vau
deville For Charity.
Columbus, Ga.. Jan. 20.—Quit© an
unusual attraction was given at t'
Springer opera house, being nothin*;
more nor less than Columbus society
in vaudeville.
The publication of the program was
sufficient to crowd the house, and the
rather unusual program made a de
cided iiit. Prominent society people
took part in the various numbers.
The "dance eccentric, in which va
rious characters and nationalties were
represented by well-known young peo
pie. was quite a prominent feature j
of th, entertainment. The costumes j
were quite good, and the fact that the |
dancers were amateurs added to tne,
enjoyment of the audience.
The entertainment, which was. un
der the auspices of prominent society
ladies, was for charitable purposes.
