Appliances Used In This Country In
the Seventeenth Century.
Undoubtedly thc first fire company
organized in this country WAS formed
in New York in 1905. 1t was called the
Providers and was composed of eight
men, With $50 buckets hooks and small
ladders Where the buckets were OBJ
tanned and whether or not they were
In addition 10 those owned by the town
The records fail TO state. In 1919 Salem
purchased two or three dozen cedar
buckets, besides hooks and other i'm
Elements; also the selcctmcn and two
others were authorized TO take com
mand at fires and 10 blow up and pull
down buildings when such action was
necessary. THIS practice appears to
have been much more common before
the use of engines than afterward.
Boston on Sept. 8, 1919, ordered that
every quarter of the town should be
provided with twenty SwobeS, two
scopes and six axes. The swObes, or
swabs, as they are now called, were
long handled mops that could be used
to put out roof fires. The general use
of swabs has long since disappeared,
but when a slight blaze is beyond the
reach of pail of water and more i'm
proved apparatus is not ut hand a
long handled mop is today the most eff
ficient article TO be used. in Japan
these swabs may be seen on many roof
tops.
In 1880 New York ordered that five
ladders and also hooks be made. In
Philadelphia no mention is made of
public precaution against fire until
1896, when a law was passed forbid
ding the firing of chimneys or allowing
the same to become foul. Each house
was to have Il swab. bucket or pail.
Another act was passed in 100 order
Ing every household to have two leath-
er buckets. In the following year six
or eight hooks for the purpose of tear

Habit-forfning Medicines.

Whatever may be the fact as to many
of the so-called patent medicines con
tanning injurious ingredients as broadly
published in some journals of more or
less influence, this publicity has certainly
been of great benefit in arouSiug needed
attention to this subject, 1t has. in
considerable measure, resulted IN the
most intelligent people avoiding such
foods and medicines as may be fairly sus-
pectcd of containing the injurious lngre-
dents complained of. Recognizing this
fact some time ago, DIR. Pierce, of Buffalo,
N. y. took time by the forelock," as it
were. and published broadcast all the
ingredients of which his popular medi
cineS are composed. Thus he has com
pletely forcStaled all harping critics and
all opposition that might otherwise be
urged against his medicines. because they
are now OF KNOWN COMPOSITION. Fur
thermorc. from tho formula printed on
every bottle wrapper, it will be seen that
these medicines contain no alcohol or
other habt-forming drugs. Neither do
they contain any narcotics or injurious
agents. their ingredients being purely
vegetable, extracted from the roots OF
medicinal plants found growing in the
depths of our American forests ana OF
well recognized curative virtues.
Instead of alcohol, which even in small
portions long continued. as in obstinate
cases of diseases, becomes highly objec-
tiOnabe from its tendency to produce
craving for Stimulants, DIR. Pierce EN-,

THE EAGLE HOTEL,
CHAS. A. McGAW, Proprietor,
BEL AIR MD.

The undersigned has assumed charge
of this old and well-known hotel and
proposes to cater to the travelling public
in the most approved manner. To those
who know the situation and advantages
of the "Old Eagle" no comment is neces
sary. 1t is unsurpassed for its quiet,
beautiful and homelike attractions. AS
a summer boarding place it is unexcelled
and its reputation as a stopping place
for commercial men and tourists will be
carefully nurtured. Everything will be
under the personal care of the proprietor,
and his ambition is to make the saying
true-"Once a customer, always a custo-
mer" Special terms for large parties on
epplication.
