ASK YOUR DRUG
GIST ABOUT IT!
There Is a New Remedy that
Takes the Place of Calomel.
Recommended and Guar
anteed by the Druggists.
Your drug store never sold a
remedy that gave more complete
satisfaction than Dodson’s Liver
Tone—a mild vegetable remedy
for constipation, sour stomach and
lazy liver.
Folks who have suffered for
years rather than resort to dan
gerous calomel have found after
one trial that this pleasant-tast
ing vegetable liquid gives them a
long sought relief without bad
after-effects.
Dodson’s Liver Tone is guaran
teed by all druggists to be a safe
liver stimulant and to be absolute
ly harmless—without bad after
effects. You will find many per
sons in this locality who have tried
it and every user will speak a good
word for Dodson’s Liver Tone. It
livens up a torpid liver and makes
you feci fresh, healthy and clean.
The price of a large bottle is 50
cents—money back if not pleased.
The success of Dodson’s Liver
Tone has brought many medicines
into the field that imitate its
claims, and some have name very
similar and package sarqe color,
but remember Dodson’s Liver
Tone is guaranteed by your drug
gist. who will give you back your
money if you want it.

Charges that hose used by the fire
department is rotten; that it required
ten minutes to get the central tele
phone station, and that a fire alarm
box failed to work, will be investi
gated to-day following a blaze on
Forrest Avenue this morning, in which
four dwellings were damaged and a
number of lives imperiled.
One line of hose, playing a stream
on the home of Charles R. Allison, at
176 Forrest Avenue, burst twice with
in a few minutes and allowed the
flames to get uncontrolable headway,
according to eyewitnesses.
E. H. Wright, of 152 Forrest Ave
nue. said to-day that he >vas on the
scene w hen the hose burst both times
and that for fully half an hour there
was only one stream of water.
Hard to Get Operator.
Allison, whose sick wife was res
cued from the,burning house by only
the narrowest margin of tim5, said
the hose burst once.
Policeman Gaunt declared to-day
that it took him more than seven min
utes to get the central operator. Other
policemen said that they w’ere ten
minutes in .arousing the operator.
I. K. Kenan, owner of the Allison
residence, lived next door to them and
said that the delay of the fire depart
ment in arriving caused the greater
«'hare of the loss. The fire alarm box
did not register, he decided.
This circumstance, combined with
the alleged delay in getting central,
was responsible for the fire- getting
beyond control, he said.
Captain Terrell, of the fire depart
ment, admitted that one piece of hose
burst, but said that it was guaranteed
for only three years and had been In
use that long or longer.
Three Dwellings Ruined.
The houses which were damaged by
the flames were those of Allison, at
176 Fofrest Avenue; I. K. Kenan, at
174 Forrest Avenue; Mrs. Annie
Owen, at 178 Forrest Avenue, and J.
C. Owens, of Bedford Place. The last
residence is only slightly damaged.
A young negro woman was probably
fatally wounded by a bullet which
was tired in a fusillade of shots to
alarm the neighbors. She ran to her
window at 24 Fairfax Street just in
time to get the missile in her breast.
Mrs. Allison, w r ho is the mother of
a 4-week-old baby, is recovering from
the shock of her terrifying experience.
She was carried from the burning
building by her husband and swooned
when she reached the street. It was
necessary to call a physician to treat
her.
The crowd which gathered about
the burning structures was alarmed
for a few minutes by the cry that
Mrs. Allison’s baby was still in the
house, bu tthe infant was found safely
shortly afterward. It had been carried
out by Miss Louise Marsh, who
roomed in the Allison home. She had
given it in charge of a neighbor while
she returned to get some of her be
longings, and because of this no one
knew' for a time what had become of
the child. ■
Hose Reported Rotten.
Reports have reached the Mayor
that as soon as the water was turned
on some of the hose % ripped open like
wet paper and seriously interfered
with the work of the firemen in try
ing to check the flames that totally
destroyed the Allison home and two
adjoining residences.
These reports bear out the evi
dence I have obtained, that no tests
of the efficiency of hose in the de
partment are made and no record of
the guarantees kept,’’ declared the
Mayor.
“Up to two years ago the hose pur
chased by the department was guar
anteed to stand a pressure of 400
pounds for five years. The hose
bought now has a three-year guaran
tee. From documentary evidence I
have obtained I can prove that the
important matters of tests and guar
antees have been ignored.
"There is no telling how* much rot
ten hose a thorough investigation of
our Fire Department might reveal.”
Fire Chief W. B. Cummings said
to-day that it was not defective hose
that caused the bursting, and that
the break did not occur until the
fire virtually was out. He said the
hose burst because of kinks, made by
it being wrapped around a tree.
Mrs. Allison was the first to see
the fire noticing the reflection on the
windows of neighboring houses. She
aw oke her husband, who w rapped her
quickly in a blanket and carried her
from the house to the home of
neighbor across the street. She was
placed under the care of Dr O M
Matthews, of 23 Highland Avenue,
and is in a critical condition.
Their two-year-old daughter was
hastily rescued, and a moment later
Miss Marsh appeared with the baby,
Charles. The occupants of the other
houses escaped without mishap. The
negro woman, Sa ly Jones, was taaen
Grady hospital. She is not ex
pected to live.
