.Lawrence, Mass., Nov. 22.
•ne o£ four hundred girls attending

were dropped from a third story win
dow by a teacher.
Rena Drouin, 12 years of age, was
taken to a hospital suffering from the
•fleets of fright and inhalation of
■□M>ke and It is thought she will recov-
er All tho pupils except those on
the third floor, who escaped by means
of the net, marched out of the building
in good order when the alarm was
liven.
The Are was caused by an over-heat.
ed furnace.
Sister Mary, one of the teachers,
and her 25 pupils, who were on the
third floor, could not get down tne
stairs on account of the smoke. The
teacher led the children to the win
dows beneath where the firemen had
stretched a net. Under the Sister’s
directions the girls climbed out over
the sill and one by one were assisted
to drop, and were caught safely in the
apparatus held by the firemen. After
the last child had been cared for, Sis
ter Mary herself reached the street
by means of a ladder.
Tie damage to the building was
■light.

All but concern him at all.”
As to Uie Russian loan and financial
matters in general, Mr. Perkins was

painted."

Revelation
in MEDICINE^
Dr Checkers, of Austria, in
Europe, the originator of
Checkers, the new medical
idee, of a medicine that should ———
actoneveryorganofthobody,
touch every part of it, so there
would be no question but that
m m m the diseased organ or part
■ | should always bo acted upon;
■ worked for years on this for-
mula. It was not only to get
S | the best and most powerful
ingredient for each organ or
® part, but to have a perfect
balanced formula in which all _
the ingredients would act in
harmony. The result is the
■ ■ most remarkable remedy of ■
■_ recent times. If you are af-
dieted, try a dollar bottle of
