To Consider Better Fire Protection- , Moot Disastrous Fires la the Su burbs Three Sub-Station Needed. A meeting of the TMInrorth executive committee is to be called shortly to consider the vital subject of Are pro taction. At tbe last general ' meeting of. the II worth cftlsens, a committee was appointed to secure subscriptions for the purchase of a reel team. Noth ing has ever been heard of this com mlttee. Since the time of Its appoint ment, a disastrous fire has occurred In the very heart of the suburb. Dur ing the past: several months, several severe fires have visited Dllworth. It Is estimated tbat 1200.004 worth of property has been destroyed. Doubt less a portion of the burned property might have been saved had there been a fire company Immediately available at the time of the alarm. Instead, the city fire department had to be sum moned in each case and before the en glnes and trucks could reach the scene the flames had done their greatest da ma re, This meeting of the Dllworth execu tlVe committee will consider how bet ter fire facilities may be secured. Many of the cltisens, especially those more directly interested, are very anxious for a sub-station someyhere In South Charlotte, adjacent to Dllworth. It is believed that overtures will be made the city fire department for tfe es tablishment of such a sub-station. This question is a very vital one. The re cords will show that the biggest fires are In the suburbs. The need of pro tection Is greater there than snywhere else. Col. A. L. Smith, head of the Are department, advocates the estab lishment of three sub-stations, one near Dllworth. another near Piedmont, and the third in Ward 4- These, with the co-operation of the central station In the fire limits, will be able to con trol the biggest fire that Charlotte can have.

About five months before the birth of my first child I was taken with some blod trouble, which the doctors said Was dropsical In its nature. My some blood trouble, which the doctors nounced it dropsy, and said my blood had turned almost absolutely to water. My whole body was fear fully swollen, and when I would press upon it the dent would remain, as is so well known in dronsy. The doctors' treatment did not do one particle of good, and at the birth ot my child I had convulsions and was critically ill, and for weeks I was very low. When I got up I was In fearfully weak condition and -still suffered from that dropsical trouble. This remained my condition until a few months before the birth of my second child. I then determined to quit doctors' treatment, and bought one dosen bottles of Mrs. Joe Per sons Remedy and took it. By the time I finished the dosen bottles, every Indication of that dropsical trouble had disappeared, and my health was good. At the birth of my second child my condition was nat ural, and I was soon tin and well. and my health has remained so ever since. Before the birth of my third child. I sgaln took a dozen bottles. and I never had a touch of that dropsical affection, and had as healthy, natural outcome as was cos- sible. I do not believe that there Is another medicine in the world Its equal, and no one need hesitate to try It only take enough to counter act the acid In the blood and it wilt cure. It Is a grand medicine. MRS. MART H. MATHEW, "IADY BALTIMORE," .
