The explosion of a lamp in the room
of one of the inmates of Dr. Clark's
sanitarium and rest cure establishment
now occupying' the old Grand Central
Hotel on Main street caused a blase
last night about midnight which
aroused . the male population of the
borough. Although no word was sent
to Fire Chief Gannon, the commotion
aroused him, and he was early on. the
scene. The thirty inmates in pajamas
were throwing the contents of water
pitchers and other receptacles for
fluids on the flames when he arrived
which only tended to spread the con
flagration. ' Immediately he. took
charge a. brigade of efficient workers
took the dampened 'bedclothes - and
smothered the flames in a few min
utes. The inmates then returned , to
their rooms assumed the glad rags.
and the parlor tin a late hour was
the scene of a celetbrattoa of their
prowess in averting the loss of their
domicile.

First To Do Real Painless Dentistry
THE NEW ANALGESIC METHOD the, first positively painless
dentistry is practiced by me. At intervals during the dental opera
tion, the patient takes a breath or two of ANALGO and is insensible
to pain. No other sense is affected no other function disturbed
the patient simply CANNOT FEELPAIN but he CAN HEAR AND
SE3 AND UNDERSTAND all that is-going on about him. In this
state (known as analgesia) : the best' dental work can be aocomplisb--ed
because the dentist does his work unhindered by the customary
twisting and jerking caused by pain and fear - of the eld fashioned
methods. "
