WILLOWS FIRE ENGINE.

Among the important matters
that have been agitated in Wilton,
the question of protection from fire
has probably received the most at
tention. Meetings have been held
and the question has been threshed
over in all its phases, but up to the
past few days nothing has been
done looking to the solution: of the
problem. Last Friday evening a
citizens meeting was held to again
take up the matter, and as a result
we are to have a new fire engine
and some cisterns to store the water
necessary for use in case fire
breaks out. The engine will be
one of the best grade of gasoline
fire fighters, and is to be equipped
with a thousand feet of hose and
the necessary attachments. It is
guaranteed to throw a stream of
water after passing through this
quantity of hose to the top Of a five
story building and this will reach
all the roofs Of Jul present Office
buildings and sky scrapers. Cis-
terms will be placed near the lower
we'll and at the Blexrud & Swanson
corner, and the hose from these
places will reach every part Of town
at present. The cisterns will be OF
a thousand barrels each, and work
is to begin at once on them, and
after completion the engine will be
shipped and thoroughly tested be.
fore being accepted. The cost Of
the engine is $3.50, and the pay
ments therefor will extend over q
period Of five years. The total cost
Of the system will be in the neigh
borhood of $500, and this amount
will probably be saved at the first
fire. When the system is installed
it will lessen the insurance rate at
least IL per cent, and the benefit
will thus manifest itself at once.
Details are now being perfected,
and in a short time the system is
expected to be in readiness to do
things if an occasion should arise.

The chronic ailments it has prevented,
the suffering it has mitigated, will

But least this much can be said that
the coming generation owes a great
debt to Peruna, for it is in the tender
years of youth that slight ailments are
liable to develop into lasting disease,
thus blasting the whole career of the
individual.

are doing a great work for humanity.
