PADDING SKELETONS.
That's Postum's Job.

The rapidity with which pure food
and drink will win a hard battle against
III health makes people stare sometimes.
The most wonderful medicines in the
world may be tried without success so
long as the body is slugged with coffee.

third attack Of La Grippe, gentleman
of Bridgeport. VT, recovered his health
almost entirely in two weeks by leaving
off coffee and drinking Postum Cereal
Coffee at meal times. He says:

FIRE BOAT NEEDED.
SAYS POLICE CHIEF
Major Sylvester Points Out
Economy in Providing 1t.
NO BIG CITY WITHOUT ONE
Thinks, However, Police Patrol Boat
Even More Necessary for Protec-
ton of Life and Property

AS the urgent need of a fireboat be-
comes more manifest every day the
question IS receiving closer considera-
tion than, perhaps. ever before. A num-
Der Of those interested in the subject
have already expressed themselves in
favor OF an appropriation for such a
purchase, while the latest to voice his
approval is Major Richard Sylvester,
Chief of Police, who has just returned
from a trip to New Orleans.
DO l think the District should have
fire boat?" he queried, in response to
question. Yes, indeed; I most Ger
tainly do. In nearly every other city of
this size throughout the country the
municipal governments have supplied
adequate means for fighting river con-
fagrations. and there is no reason why
Washington should be content to be
without any apparatus of this sort. In
der existing conditions property along
the Potomac is in constant danger of
destruction. and no end OF damage could
be caused in a short time.
Should Be an Ice Breaker, Too.
What the city requires is a modern,
drilled crew to operate it. The boat
should be under the direction of the Fire
Department. I think it would be well
TO have one suitable for breaking ice
during the winter, and thus keep the riv-
er open for traffic all year round In
deed, this is an important factor in the
construction of up-to-date fire boats.
In travelling through the West I
have noticed a system for fighting river
hres that is never used. to my knowl-
edge, in this part of the country The
Ievees of every stream are equipped
with series of plugs from which a
forceful pressure of water can be OBJ
tanned. When fire breaks out a line
of hose can be coupled to these plugs,
and the fire may thus be fought from
the front
Plea for Police Patrol.
But I sincerely believe" Major Syl-
vester continued, that the District
needs a police patrol boat even more
than a fire boat One is TO save life an
the other TO protect property. 1t Is
obvious which is the more important
The present police boat is not at all
fitted for the demand upon it. Besides
being entirely too small and altogether
insufficient, it has only one crew-a day
force-and must necessarily remain at
anchor all night long.
The usefulness of thoroughly mod
ern patrol boat is readily seen Should
a wreck occur in the Potomac in a
storm the boat is always ready to give
Immediate and satisfactory assistance,
while it is also a protection against lille
gal fishing and other IawIessness along
the river front And so l really think
the purchase of a patrol should be given
fret consideration. You can put me
down as strongly favoring that"

WRECK ON SANTA FE.
Emisrant Car Badly Smashed Early
Yesterday Morning.

Early yesterday morning wreck oc-

though no one was injured, was a rather
peculiar complication. In fact, it was
two wrecks, one following the other in
rapid succession. Extra No. 564 was de-
layed eight hours because of it.
Train 56i was doing some switching in
the yards near the roundhouse and was
running rapidly toward the switch. A
brakeman was stationed at the switch,
but in some manner threw it the wrong
way and the engine ran out on spur
and into the ground The engine was
not broken in any way but could not be
put back upon the track immediate
The switch engine went to the mix-up
and taking a few cars from the train
started back to the main line. Before
going far an emigrant car loaded with
horses. cattle and furniture baked and
jumped crosswise on the track. In doing
so il struck another car near and the
ends of both cars were crushed. When
the car took its sudden jump the occu-
pants piled up in one end and horses,
cattle. bedsteads and tables were hope
lessly mixed.
1t is not known what caused this car
to jump the track as there were cars on
both ends of it. It could not be placed
upon the track at once and the stock
and goods were transferred to another
car and went on their way to Nashville,
Kan. The engine which was derailed,
left the track about $50 yesterday morn

Republican Central Committee Ready
for Spring Campaign.

The members of the new Republican
city central committee met last night in
the city clerk Office, pursuant to the
call of J. II. Stewart. chairman of the
former committee and perfected the or
ganization of the committee and are now
ready to launch the spring campaign. J.
H. Stewart was elected chairman. James
a. Comfy secretary and Charles Davidson
treasurer. This was about all of the bus
mess the committee accomplished last
night, but they decided to meet Friday
evening and hold a long conference and
perfect their plans for carrying on the
spring campaign.
Last night several plans were discussed,
but no definite action was taken and none
will be taken until the members have
time to think over the different plans.
1t is expected that some radical changes
will be made in conducting this cam
paign from former years, and the prob
lens in this line will have to be care
fully worked out and every point consid-

APPRAISERS MEET TODAY.
At 10 O'Clock They Will Talk With
Propertv Owners

This morning at 10 O'Clock in the city
clerk S office the appraisers for the open
ing of Wichita street will meet and re-
ceive all exceptions to the damages and
benefits as they have assessed them
against the property.
As published in the Eagle some time
ago the appraisers have established the
benefit and damage districts necessary
for opening the street from Lincoln to
Lewis streets and the boundaries of the
districts have been published officially.
The appraisers have not made the assess
ment against each piece of property and
the purpose of the meeting today is to
consider any objections the property
owners may wish to offer regarding the
amounts they are assessed
