The new wagon at headquarters will lc placed behind the chemical engine. In order to accomplish this the arrangements at headquarters will have to be changed. At present nearly all the stalls are only half way between the front and rear of the hall, but the stalls for the wagon horses will have to be in the rear of the building when the change is made One of the engine horses and one of the truck horses will be in the rear of the building, and the other two engine horses and other two truck horses will be half way back
 When the changes are completed there will be a hose wagon. a chemical engine, a truck and a first class engine at head quarters. The large flooding nozzle now on the old hose wagon will probably be transferred to the chemical engine. or it may remain on the old hose wagon, which would be used at large fires. the only ones at which the large nozzle is needed

A DIMPLE MAKER.

Find a child with dimples and chubby arms and legs and you find a healthy child. Find one with drawn face and poor, thin body and you see one that needs Scott's Emulsion. Your doctor will no doubt tell you the child is fat-starved-its food is not nourishing it.
 Nothing helps these thin, pale children like Scott's Emulsion. It contains the very element of fat they need. It supplies them with a per feet and quickly digested nourishment. Scots Emul- ion brings dimples and ounded limbs.
