I was born in Louisville, Ky., in 17s8.
Duffy's Malt has been my steady compan

on myself and feel that so long as I can get
some of Duffy’s Malt Whiskey I will live
twenty-five years longer. It’s wonderful
the way it keeps up my strength and vigor.
It keeps my digestion perfect so that I can
eat almost anything. Truly Duffy’s is a

Dear Sirs: —
Over fifty years ago, our firm began
selling paint throughout the South;
sales have continued uninterruptedly,
and ten times greater than any other
brand of paint.
Read the following:
“Have used the L. & M. Paint twen
ty years; houses painted with it eight
years ago show better to-day than
hones painted with other paints with
in two years.”
A. B. Edgall, Alachua, Fla.
“Have used all brands of paint,
L. fc M. Pure Paint stands better, and
wears longer than any other paint I
have ever used in my ten years expe
rience,”
H. F. Smith, Painter, Concord, X. C.
“I painted Frankenburg Block with
L. M. Paint; stands out as though
. trnished. Actual cost was less than
$1.20 per gallon.”
\V. B. Barr, Charleston, W. Va.
“I painted our old homestead with
L. & M. I’aint twenty-six years ago.
Not painted since; looks better than
houses painted in the last four years
with other paint.”
II. C. Scofield, Harris Springs, S. C.
“Used the L. A M. Paint for sixteen
v'-ars. Painted three houses with it
fifteen years ago; they have not need
ed painting since.”

Climatic Cures.
The inlhicnce of climatic conditions
in the cure of consumption Is very
much overdrawn. The poor patient,
rid the rich patient, too, can do much
I'- tfer at homo by proper attention to
V«»d digestion, and a regular use of
Gorman Syrup. Free expectoration
in the morning is made certain by
Gorman syrup, so is a good night’s
n-rtt and the absence of that
weakening cough and debilitat
ing night sweat. Restless nights
and the exhaustion due to
coughing, the greatest danger
and dread of the consumptive, can
be prevented or stopped by taking
German Syrup liberally and regu
larly. Should you be able to go to a
warmer climate, you will find that of
the thousands of consumptives there,
flu* few who are benefited and regain
strength are those who use German

Principal V/a-ehouses of the City Fell
Prey to Planes and as Many as Two
Hundred and Fifty Firms Were Put
Out of Business.
Toronto, Ontario, April 20.—The fire
that raged throughout the night and
up to an early hour today in Toron
to’s wholesale and retail business
district was the most disastrous in the
history of the city. The total loss is
conservatively estimated at $lo.0o0,000.
The principal warehouses of the city
were reduced to ashes and nearly 25u
firms were put out of business. The
area covered by the fire is three
Mocks in length and varies from halt
a block to two blocks in width. Every
auilding on Bay street, from Melinda
-treot southward to the Esplanade, at
the water front, was wiped out and
’h<' fire spread on Wellington and
front streets and the Esplanade, along
.ne water front, from their intersection
with Bay street, for distances of a
tew hundred feet for a whole block.
Number of Buildings Destroyed.
The total number of buildings de
stroyed is Bay street, east side. 20;
west side, 30. Wellington street,
north side, 12; south side, 7. From
street, north, 22; south, 27. Esplan
ade. 4. Piper street, 1.
Early in the evening when the fire
assumed alarming proportions, appeals
for assistance were sent to London-,
Hamilton, Montreal and Buffalo.
Special trains were at once started
from these points, but it was long
after midnight before the first of
them began to arrive.
At an early stage of the fire Chief
Thompson got trapped by the flames
and was forced to jump from the top
of a building. A network of wires
broke his fall and saved his life. He
•scaped with a broken leg. When the
chief made the leap lor his life a
traveler from Montreal was on the
root with him and no trace of him
has since been seem. It is probable
that he perished in the flames.
How the Fire Started.
The fire started in the c-levatog
shaft in the rear of the Currie build
ing. Thence the flames spread across
the street to Brown P.ros. and from
there east to Bay street. The wind,
which had been brisk, increased to a
(rale. A general alarm was sounded,
but before all the force had reached
the scene the lire had leaped to
the high buildings occupied by Ansley
A Co. and Pugsley, Dingman A Co.
Then Suckling A Co.’s building, adjoin
ing Currie’s on the east, caught fire
and almost simultaneously great forks
of llaine began to shoot from it.
Firemen’s Desperate Battle.
It was here that the firemen united
forces and made a desperate attempt
to check the progress of the flames
northward in the heart of the city
They won, but not until they had lost
control of the flames which were now
sw< i ping down Bay street toward the
river front.
For over half an hour the fire in
Front street burned fiercely, practical
ly unchecked. It then began to work
itself back iij>on Bay street, Gordon
Mackay A Co.’s warehouse serving as
fuel. A few minutes before midnight
the Canada Rubber company’s plan!
startefl to burn. While it lasted, this
fur* shed the hottest and fiercest con
flagration of the night. The flames
shooting thousands of feet in the
air and scattering great masses ot
sparks and cinders on every s.de, con
tinned north on Bay street until a
complete circle of fire had formed
around the Brock building, on the
southwest corner of Ray and Welling
ton streets, over which the flames had
hurled in their first dash south. The
Brock building was soon in ashes.
It was only the intervening park
that saved the Queen’s hotel, one ot
the finest hotels in the city. So im
minont seemed the danger that all th<
guests hurriedly packed their belong
ing and left and everything portable
was removed from the hotel.
The flames swept across Bay street
in half a dozen places, and shortly
before midnight it became apparent
that the whole block south of East
Wellington street from the Queens ho
tel and the old Manning residence, fac
Ing on Wellington street, was doomed
The Gordon Mackay building, on the
northwest corner of Front and Bay
streets which for nearly 70 years, wa.-
one of the finest establishments in
the city, made a fierce blaze. The
Copp Clark building ami Warwick
Bros, and Rutter’s was destroyed at
about the same time. The heat was
ho great and the smoke and flying em
berg so thick that the firemen were
absolutely helpless and could not get
near enough to the fire to play a sin
gle stream uism it. To add to the
tenlfylng effect of the scene, came
a bombard men, of exploding giant fire
crackers and other fireworks stored
In the Copp Clark building.
The fire next leaped across Front
tr et to the McPherson Bros, boot
, ;tn I hoe warebon e and adjoining
•nildlngH. Ea tward on Front and
- i'h to the K anlade the flames
leaped from building to building with
irresistible fury.
Fire Spread Swiftly.
In forty-five minutes the flames had
leveled t iv building between Front
street lud the Esplanade, on the west
hide of Bay -treet The firemen who
had been forced to retreat -lowly on
Front street and the E.-plande con-
central d their forces and uu.de a des
perate stand. They failed this time.
The flames 1< aped across the street
below Front street and destroyed Mc
Laughlin A Co.'s flour mills at the
southeast corner of Bay and Front.
From there the fire took an easterly
course toward Yong street and danger
ously near the wharves. On the south
west it burned itself out lor Jack of
fuel. The flames were also spread
ing toward the east along both sides
of Front street and the south side ot
Wellington street.
At 2 o’clock the Eddy warehouse,
the Lincoln paper mill warehouse
and the Kleinert Rubber company’s
warehouses were burning on the north
side of Front street. On the south
side several warehouses and stores
were burning, while on West Welling
ton street the Union bank and five
warehouses were destroyed.
