It Wasn't A Bomb—
A roaring sound was followed close-
ly by two suppressed coal gas explo-
sions in the Court House late Satur-
day afternoon which nearly wrecked
the furnaces, temporarily knocked out
Caretaker George James. and chased
County Clerk J. M. Roberts out of his
office when the second explosion Weft hole in the chimney where it
passes through the Clerk's office, The
basement, Clerk's office and hallowed
halls of the old Court House were
filled with thick black coal soot, The
wooden girders above the furnace
took lire and were burning smartly
when Caretaker James, groggy, about
to turn in a fire alarm, changed his
mind and put out the blaze with a
garden hose. The cause of all this
t•omnrotion was learned later. The
steady chimney downdraft caused by
the gale that was raging blew closed
the rear draft of the furnace after a
fresh fire had been built, thus trap-
ping the coal gas fumes and causing
the explosions. Caretaker James was

Rub acts two ways
at once to relieve
misery of colds.
FIRST: VapoRub acts on the skin,
stimulates like a warming poultice.
sECONO: At the same time, VapoRub
gives off soothing medicated vapours
that are breathed direct into irri-
tated air passages.
THIS DIRECT, 2 -WAY ACTION loosens
phlegm, clears air passages, checks
tendency to cough—also relieves
muscular tightness and soreness.
Because it's ex-
ternal and safe,
VapoRub can be
used freely and as
often as needed, for

ups. No wonder it's . ro`Ka �+
