The Beilgard's had been out for the evening and when they returned home late they found that the fire in the furnace had nearly all burned out. Mrs Beilgard and the child went to bed. while Beilgard proceedal to build a new fire in the furnace. The tire he had built was larger than he thought. About two o'clock the overheated pipes set fire to the woodwork and in a short time the lower part of the house was all in flames. The fire created a dense smoke. Some time between two and three o'clock that morning Beilgard awoke with a sense of oppression. He tried to move but it seemed; as if he was held down by a weight. He struggled into a partial realization of the circumstances and found the room filled with dense smoke. He was sqnearly strangled that it was with great dificulty ‘he could move. The thought of the danger in which his wife and child wereplaced,how- ever caused him to makea supreme effort. He succeeded in awakening them and helped them out of the house. A few minutes more and it would have been too late. He went to the home of a neighbor where he and his family were taken in. The fire department was summoned and after a quick run, arrived on the scene. They made a good fight and succeeded in saving the property from complete de- struction.

They have installed a Greer Chemical Filter for softening and purifying the water which is done through a chemical called Tri-Sodium Phosphate. This is a white crystal and is very soluble in wa~ ter, is non-corrosive in its action, and be ing non-volatile, will not vaporize and pass off with the steam, therefore it can not efiect products cooked with live steam or effective in manufacture from condensed steam. 'This is the only chemical, so far known, that will change incrusting materials 'such as sulphates of lime and magnesia into phosphate Which are then in suspension and can be re moved from the waterby passing through the filter the same as‘mud and silica, producing a soft water. free from all" impurities.
