BUCKET OF BLOOD
BUBNFO TODAY
Notorious Negro Dive Com

Early Hour Tuesday Morning.
R. ,T. Mitchell's old place on the cor

Street, during recent years known as
the “Bucket of Blood,” burned to the
Advises Lime
for Tuberculosis
According to the Journal of the Am
erican Medical Association (July 27,
1912, Page 308), Dr. C. F. Olsen, of
Minneapolis, holds that a “deficiency of
calcium” (lime) la responsible for the
physical conditions which lead to tuber
culosis, "and the therapy he advocates
rests on this basis.”
One of the reasons for the wide
spread success of Eckman's Alterative
in the treatment of tuberculosis and
chronic throat and bronchial troubles is
Its ability to supply this deficiency.
It contains a lime salt In such form
and so combined with oth<e- remedial
agents as to be easily assimilated by the
average person. There are on record
many cases In which it seems to have
effected complete and lasting betterment.
However, we make no exaggerated
claims for Eckman's Alterative. We pre
fer that it be tried on the same bails
one tries any other prescription, and w(
believe It will help, for IT HAS HELP
ED In many cases.
It contains no opiates, narcotics or
habit-forming drugs. Therefore It is
safe to take. If your druggist is out of
It. he will order, or you can get it di
rect.

ground Tuesday morning between 4
and 5 o’clock,
The place was run by Elliott and
Parish and consisted of a saloon. At
the time of the fire the occupants
were in the midst of moving out of
the house.
The alarm was sent in at 4:10 a. m.,
on Tuesday by two negroes who dis
covered the fire. These two negroes
were sitting by the stove downstairs in
the building when they smelled smoke
and heard the crackling of flames. Run
ning out Into the hall they discovered
the whole hack of the upper story on
fire. There was a white man asleep
upstairs at the time who was after
wards saved by the heroic work of
the firemen who reached the scene
within five minutes.
Though streams of water were
played on the building from all direc
tions, it was impossible to save the
frame structure, which burned like a
torch. The fire was a complete loss,
representing something like $2,500,
partly covered by Insurance.
The fire is said to have started from
a defective flue.

HOW TO PREVENT
ACID STOMACHS AND
FOOD FERMENTATION
By a Stomach Specialist
As a specialist who has spent many
years In the study and treatment of
stomach troubles, I have been forced to
the conclusion that most people who
corn pain of stomach trouble possess
stomachs that are absolute y healthy
and normal. The real trouble, that which
causes all ♦ tie pain and difficulty, Is ex
cesslve acid Ip the /Stomach, aggravate,!
by food fermentation. Hyperacidity Ir
ritates the delicate lining of the stomach
and food fermentation causes wind
width distends the stomach abnormally,
causing that fail bloated feeling. Tints
both acid and fermentation Interfere
with and retard the process of diges
tion. The stomach Is usually healthy
and normal but Irritated almost past
endurance by these foreign element* ■
acid and wind. In all such cases und
they comprise over per cent, of all
stomach difficulties the first and only
step necessary Is to neutralize the acid
and stop the fermentation by t iking In
a little warm or cold water Immediately
after eating, from one to two teaspoon
fids of blsurated magnesia, which |s
doubtless the bt*t and only really ef
fective antacid and food corrective
known The a<dd will be neutralized and
the fermentation stopped almas' In
stantly and your stomach will at one*
proceed to digest the food In a healthy,
normal manner. He sure to ask your
druggist for the blsurated magnesia, a*
