THE ARGUS.-MONDAY. JULY, 20, 1909. NEWS OF THE NEIGHBORS a DAVENPORT Bad Fire in Business Scctfon. One of the fiercest "blazes the Davenport fire department has had to contend with for some time was discovered at 10:30 o'clock Saturday night on the third floor of the building located at 308 West Second street in the "30" block. The building which is a four story structure, is owned by H. W. Techentln and leased to the Lage Waters Shoe company. The latt;r company occupies the ground floor. On the second floor are the flat apart ments of Robert Hall. The third floor and a part of the fourth floor is occu pied by Mrs. Emma Ballard as a .dressmaking and corset establishment. The remainder of the fourth floor is held by the Central Rubber' Shoe company. Here they had stored quite a stock of rubber goods. The Are is supposed to have started in a clothes closet on the third floor. Mrs. Balla.d departed Saturday afternoon for Peori j for a several days' visit and there was no one on either the third or fourth floors at the time the fire started, it is quite probable, therefore, that the blaze started from spontaneous com bustion. By the time the firemen ar rived on the scene the fire had gained considerable headway. The smoke an 1 heat were intense and it required tho greatest effort on the part of the fire men to remain in the building to fight the flames. The furniture and house hold furnishings on the third floor are a complete loss. The , fire burned through) the center of the rubber stock stored on the fourth floor arid the loss here will be considerable. On the sec ond floor Mr. Hall suffered mainly from water and his loss will not exceed $200. Only a steel ceiling prevented . the water from reaching the ground floor, iii which case the expensive stock of the LageAVaters company would undoubtedly have undergone great damage. The loss on the build ing and the furnishings of the several flats, as also the rubber stock on thtj fourth floor, will reach several thous and dollars. street.

The inherited poison, transmitted through the blood, pollutes and weakens this fluid, and in place of its nutritive qualities fills the circulation with scrofulous snattcr, which saps the vitality : of the entire system. Thousands of children, born with a scrofulous tt-iut, 1 have spent their childhood in constant physical suffering, and grown to , manhood or womanhood handicapped by ill health and stunted growth. ana peinaps later some uisease 01 tne nones or joints aevciopeu. o. . r., given in their early life, would have prevented this.
