Davenport. Jan 2S-The city Of
Davenport bears the distinction, ana
the Davenport Bag & Paper Company
is in a sense justly proud, of posses
sing the only entire concrete building,
as far as known, I'm the entire coun-
try George w. Moth. secretary OF the
company which has erected its new
home on Second and Rock Island
streets, Of the new material with lhe
use of the comparatively new rein
forced concrete construction, mas eA-
pended some effort looking up the
matter to satisfy. IL nothing else, his
own curiosity, and he has been I'M
able to find another building standing
or in course of erection today which
is constructed entirely of concrete.
So that the statement that this city
and the Davenport Bag e. Paper Com
pany have the only building construct
ed entirely of this new material is as
yet unchallenged. There are other
concrete buildings in Davenport, but
the difference existing between them
and the Davenport Bag & Paper Com
pany's building is that brick or stone,
and possibly both. enter into the con-
struction. This pertains to the Halli-
gan building on Fourth and Iowa and
the Johnson building on East Second
street.
1t is interesting to review the con-
struction of the warehouse now near
ing completion at Second and Rock
Island streets Different from build
ings erected in the past, the entire
crete, which is reinforced around
twisted steel rods, the piers being
sunk in some instances 10 feet below
the surface so that the weight or the
building is not upon the walls, but
upon the large piers. Even the cross
beams and the ceiling and floor braces
are of reinforced concrete moulded
over steel bars or rods and the floors
are made of the same material. II Is
of course impossible to build any
thing like this Of concrete alone with
out the use of steel, but with Its as
sistance and the reinforced concrete.
the structure is practically one solid
stone building strengthened by the
steel braces and plates.
The building is composed OF tive
stories and basement with roof OF
concrete covered with tar. 1t is fire
proof thruout, so that no insurance
will be required on the building. The
only wooden construction is in the
window frames and the shelving In
the interior The first floor is COM
posed Of office room in front, with
reinforced concrete vault adjoining,
and shipping department In the rear
The basement is also divided into two
parts. the smaller front room under
the office being for the storage OF tar
paper, and the large room for other
goods.

Alcoholism In France.

Alcoholism, that curse of civilized societies, of which Gladstone said that it caused more ravages than the three historical scourges, famine, plague and war. tends to make more and more our beautiful country of France violent nation, blinded by passion and delivered over to all the brutality of instinct.-M.

To Cure Stammering.

Stammering can be cured, accord. Ing to a writer in the London Lancet, by simply making an audible note in expiration before each word. A cer, tain Englishman, who made a large fortune by curing stammerers, made his patients say "her" before each word beginning with a consonant. Stammerers can sing as easily as other persons.

ALL ENGINEERS GET SCARED.
Not Often, But Their Nerve Deserts
 Them Sometimes.

Does an engineer ever lose his nerve? Is he ever afraid to take his train out on the run?''
 These questions were asked last week of an old-timer, a grizzled vet eran. who has pulled limited trains for the past ten years, says the Kan sas City Star. For five years he has had night run from Kansas City to a division point between here and St Louis. He never had a wreck and. to use his expression, he never even threw a shoe
 But" he says, I've given the mai, holdin' them shoes some awful wrenches"
 He smiled when the questions were asked
 You can't get one engineer in thousand to admit he is ever scared" he said. But, just the same, they do get scared, and they don't know why A man grows accustomed to pulling these eight-wheelers a mile a min- ute, doing it week in and week cut Then comes a time when something seems to say: Don't go out on that run tonight. Stay away
 And there you are. You'll shake your shoulders and say Bah, Why not? I'm not afraid, Just the same you watch every curve. every switch light, every crossing and your heart jumps when your engine strikes a low joint. Sometimes the feeling stars with you for week and passes away You don't know why, but all of a sud den it's gone. Then you'll whistle tune when you climb into the cab and be as happy as a schoolboy. The road will seem smoother and your big ma chine working better Maybe it's just T little failing in your nerve.
 Some folks would say it was a pre- sentiment that something would hap nen Frequently trouble does come vhen you have these presentiments. And this fact, I presume, tends to make you more uneasy. One of the gamiest men that ever pulled an en- zine out of here was Lou Ward. who had the Friscn mail train to Fort Scott. He had left here every night at 2:10 o'clock with nothing but an engine, mailcar and coach. He pulled that little rabbit train sometimes 75 miles an hour through the lowlands in Kansas
 Lou I said 10 him one night, that train will get you some of these times
 "'Yes, l guess SO. he said That's a good little girl I'm pullin' though, and she'll stick to the rails as long as any of 'em.'
 Six months afterward his engine turned over at LeneXa. The steam and boiling water poured out over him. They carried Lon to the hospi- tai in Springfield. In few weeks he was dead. His engine got him.
 Ward felt that some day his little girl would be week. And a broken rail caused it."

BANK TALK

At certain age it costs a man fifty dollars year to take out a sIooo en- downment insurance policy, which com pines insurance with investment. The same man with the same fifty dollars can take out term insurance for the same amount for about sI4 per year. The other s36 placed in bank at four per cent interest would net him as much as the endowment.
 The advantage of this last bank saw ings feature, IS that you control your in- vestment from year to year and have certain stated income from it. Here for, instance, we pay five per cent on time deposits.
