BECOMING A SERIOUS QUESTION
Insurance Commissioner Host Says Public
Must Plan to Prevent Confagrations

Insurance Commissioner Host Says Public
Must Plan to Prevent ConHagrations
Insurance Commissioner Zeno M Host
of Madison says that he believes that
one of the great questions before the
public at this time is that of contriving
plans for preventing the large loss of
property by fire. Such conhagrations as
those which occurred in Baltimore, Ro-
chester and Toronto early in this year
draw very heavily upon the reserves of
fire insurance companies: and the eXten-
sive confagrations that have occurred in
different parts of the United States dur
ing recent years furnishes to every citi-
zen interested IN his own as we'll as in
his countrys welfare, food for serious
consideration.
"The waste by fire during the 25 years
ending December 81, 1903" says Mr..
Host, "has averaged S130,OO0,O00 year.
From present indications the fire losses
during 1904 cannot be much less than
$3OO,OO0,O0O, tax rate equivalent to 3
per cent of the national wealth which is
wiped out of existence and forever re-
moved from the uses of mankind.
"This brings US to a serious consider
alton of the fact that every effort must
be made 10 reduce those extensive de-
vastations. By preventing the erection
of such buildings, commonly known to
fire underwriters as fire producers; by
municipal and state authorities urging
the adoption and strict enforcement of
proper building laws; by the officers and
citizens of municipalities urging the
maintenance and support of an efficient
fire department and an adequate supply
Of water, thus preventing fires from
reaching the devastating stage, and by
the enactment and enforcement Of more
rigid building laws and the exercise of
care and cleanliness on the part of prop
erty owners, the colossal fire losses could
be reduced"

Only a Mask.

Many are not being benefited by the
summer vacations as they should be.
Now, notwithstanding much outdoor
life, they are little if any stronger than
they were. The tan on their faces is
darker and makes them look healthier,
but it is only mask. They are still
nervous, easily tired, upset by trihes,
and they do not eat nor sleep well.
What they need is what tones the nerves,
perfects digestion, creates appetite, and
makes sleep refreshing, and that is
Hoods Sarsaparilla. Pupils and teach
ers generally will fine the chief purpose
of the vacation best subserved by this
great medicine which, as we know,
Guilds up the whole system"

WILL NOMINATE SWEET.
Democrats Likely to Choose Him to
Run For Governor.


Grand Rapids, Mich, Aug. 3.-Ev-
erything points to the nomination OF
Mayor E. f. Sweet of Grand Rapids
for governor at the state convention
today.
The Stearns adherents claim he will
be the nominee, but the claim is not
borne out by figures at hand. Stearns
will enter the convention with the
solid backing Of Wayne county and a
divided delegation from Kent. AS
near as could be learned he is sure
of about 800 of the S15 delegates. May
or Sweet, on the other hand, will have
a majority on the first ballot unless
some other candidate comes into the
field, and this is not thought likely.
The Campau conference last night
turned out to be a reception to Mayor
Sweet.
Judge John Miner of Detroit will
be temporary chairman Of the conven-
ton. Edwin Henderson Of Detroit
will present the name of Justus S.
Stearns to the convention, but who
will present the name of Mayor Sweet
will be decided by the Democratic
state convention later.
