a physician.
Such a remedy is Johnson's Anoddyne

My impression is that our fire pres
sure is secured more quickly now than
we used to secure II" said Firemarshal
Wilmarth. THE city Of Topeka has en-
joyed immunity from serious losses
from fire the last year which in a way
has been remarkable. OF course this
does not mean that we may not any
moment have bad fire or that there
Part Of our immunity has been due to
good luck and a portion Of It to the
work of the fire department. There
have been some very heavy losses by
fire throughout the United States,
scarcely a town of any size has escaped
with fire departments of considerably
larger size have been heavy sufferers. I
receive a statement. very accurate, ev-
cry SO often which shows the fire losses
Sites. The latest which 1 have ending
for the week of March 9 shows that 479
fires occurrCe in the United States for
that week and all of the losses amount
ed to from $4,000 up. The statement
does not cover any fires where the loss.
was less than that. The weekly state
ment for that week is but fair sample
Of wlat is taking place in the United
States. There is as much in the preven-
ton of fire ~; in fighting it.
Every fire chief of experience
knows that a large majority of the
fires with attendant losses might have
been prevented, as they are largely at-
tributable to carelessness upon the
part of some one or to the fact that
no appliances were at hand with
which such fire might have been put
out. Fire pals, properly located and
kept filled is a most important and
practical suggestion. In addition to
fire pals, if the building covers a con-
siderable area, standard portable fire
extinguishers, together with hose and
a water supply should be provided.
Keep Easements attics, stairway,
closets and rooms clean and free from
cOmbustible litter and rubbish, see
that electric wiring and heating ap-
planes are in absolutely safe condi-
ton"
The losses from fire during the fiscal
year ending with March 31st 1905,
show that it was confined to the re-
marka BILE low sum of $19, 997.71. This
file in the Office of the fire marshal.
On this same property, $268,825 in
surance was carried while the insur-
ance paid amounted to SIS, 269.21, so
that the real loss to Topekans was less
than $4,000 for the whole year. The
valuation of the property put in hazard
was S483,225. The real loss of the
property risked was about 4 per cent.
