Seven years ago the State of Illinois granted to the Physicians Institute of Chicago cnarIef' ,
 There was need of something aDope tne orul- nary method of treatment for chronic diseases, something more than any one specialist or any number of specialists acting independently could do, so the State itself, under the powers granted it by it's general laws, gave the power to the Physicians Institute to furnish to the SICK such help as would make them well and strong.
 Ever since its establishment this Institute mas endeayored in every possible way to carry out the original purposes of It's establishment unuer the benefcient laws of the State.
 Three years ago, the Physicians lnstltutei realizing the value of electricity In the treatmens of certain phases of disease. created under the superintendence of its staff of specialists an electric belt and this belt has been proved 10 pc of great value as a curative agent From tlme to time it has been improved until It reacned that stage of perfection which warranted Hs present name of" Supreme"

 The firemen are well fitted out in the new quarters in the city hall. Twenty of them are constantly on duty there and they have modern bathrooms and lava tories and comfortable sleeping quarters. These latter are in the second and third floors on the Fourth avenue side of the building There are brass rods running from these rooms to the ground floor and when an alarm sounds in the night 1t takes but a moment for the men to slide down to the ground floor. In the third story is also the new switchboard used in connection with the electric alarm sys- tenn and the electric device that strikes the alarms on the bell in the city hall,
 CHIEF J. T. MULLIN.
 The present chief of the fire depart ment is J. r. Mullin, who has been con nected with the department since 1887 and has been chief since 1890.
 When l first became connected with the fire department said Chief Mullen, while detailing some of his experience, 1t consisted of one third-class steamer, one hose reel and enc single ladder truck We had no horse for the latter, and when a fire started we would send for Red Henry" an old mule that the city used to haul it's garbage wagon. The city removed it's garbage in those days, and Red Henry" was used in slowly hauling the wagon. When he was hitched to the ladder and made to go fast he would bray all the way to the fire. uttering protest at each step. Birmingham was really a very small potato in those days compared to what it is now There was not a building on the block now occupied by the city hall eX- cept a little brick store on Twentieth street.
 "The city has been singularly free from large fires in the past twelve years The two largest were the Caldwell note which burned in 1894 and the Hewlett block. which was distroyed in 1900. At the time of the Caldwell fire there was

HE first inhabitants of the new | NH city hall, unless perhaps an ad venturous mouse be excepted G are the firemte. They have been in their new quarters several weeks and are feeling like old residents. In poln' of tim they are the aristocracy of the building and the Mayor and other city officials will be in a certain sense par venues when they move into the quarters they have indulgently provided for them selves. The firemen were not only the first to use the new building, but they have given the first entertainment which was a. ball and a success In every way. In point of time the Birmingham firem en are "sooners" especially when it comes to getting to a fire. So efficient Is the department that here has not been real ly first class fire in some time. This is a lucky thing especially for Birmingham s tall buildings, for there is only one lad der in the department and 1t will just reach to the fourth story of the Hillman. Guests above the fourth story of this and other hotels would do well to lay in a supply of parachutes for an emergency.
 "Is this he'll mean the firedepart- ment?" inquired visit or to headquarters yesterday.
 Its a little of both I reckon" replied a good looking fireman with blue eyes.
 Excuse me, but are you called fire laddies?" asked the visitor. "I have been called various names" said the firem an, sometimes fire ladders. step ladders and even stepmothers, but never fire laddies. That Is out of date.
 "Tll make a note of that" said the visitor who was evidently man who believed in preserving valuable informa- tion. He proceeded to ask other fool ques- tions and took up so much time of the department that to get rid of him one of the men rang afalse alarm and the whole outfit lit out
 Birmingham Department.
 The Birmingham Fire Department Is composed of 46 men and three substitutes. In this number Is included chief, live captains and two foremen. In 1901 they responded to 335 alarms of which 42 were false alarms. This is not quite an aver age of one alarm day and the men would be supposed by many to have noth- ing to do but sit and watch for an alarm, in other words Micawberlike waiting for something to turn up. Life in the depart ment is not this bad. There Is really a good deal to do in the way of clean ing the apparatus and feeding the horses and attending to various little odds and ends
 During the past year out of the total of 335 alarms received, 232 came in over the telephone Only 53 were received over the alarm boxes stationed throughout the city. This by the way is the exact num- Der of boxes and Is average of one alarm per box per annum as can be f1g- ured out by any person with math- ematcal genius There were 16 still alarms" which means that the firemen were alarmed while sitting still-some person walks in and announces that a house Is on fire and the department has

 Sometimes he has a little rattle for this purpose; sometimes he holds up a bunch of grass. It might be that he would wave a handkerchief gently at the same time calling the horse. Then you see things happen
 Even though he was a handsome horse anyway he looks more so than ever in that first look at the man who has at tracted his attention. It may be that he's just a bit startled, and he stands there perfectly erect, head up and all at- tention, ears thrown forward a keen alertness in every line, a most spirited figure of a horse; and for the moment motionless and in that happy moment you get him.

4 Word to the wise.

Mrs. ]. b. Donovan had the
misfortune to lose pocket book
containing a $40 bill last Wednes-
day evening. DR.. Finney subse-
quently found the pock.tbook in
the wire basket attached to his
bicycle, the wheel having been
left in front of the First National
Bank. The $40 bill, however,
had been extracted, and nothing
OF any value was left in the purse.
The party who threw the purse
into the basket is known, and in
order to avoid trouble he would
show considerable wisdom by re,
turning ths money to its rightful
owner.

Van Kirk was injured in the Pu-
eblo yards last July, one OF his

been an inmate OF the local hos

physicians decided that an ampu-
tation of his injured limb al the
thigh was necessary, but Mr.. Van
Kirk never recovered from the
effects of she amputation. His

Feeding s..s r.,e 70 l.ms..

Sugar beet pulp contains about
90 per cent of water, hence there
is but 400 pounds of feeding ma
terial in a ton.
From weighings made on the
sub station farm the results show
about equal gains in weight for
the dry matter in the corn and in
the pulp when each are combined
with alfalfa.
Hence one ton of pulp is equal
to 200 pounds of corn.
Owing to the bulky nature OF
the pulp not enough of it can be
consumed by lambs to produce
sufficient fat to finish them; hence
it should be fed to the greatest
extent at the commencement of
feeding.
What is fed in the latter part of
the feeding period should be used
as an appetizer and regulator of
the bowels rather than for the fat
it produces.
Pulp fed in large quantities pro-
duces soft flesh.
The matter of transportation is
very essential one for the farmer
to consider in the utilization of
pulp. For the profitable use the
yards must be near the factory or
railway facilities.
When large quantities Of pulp
are fed to animals confined in
small lots the lots become very
foul, much to the discomfort of
the animals and loss to the feeder.
