EXPECTORATING ON SIDE.
WALKS,

The ordinance making it a misde-
mesnor to expectOrate on sidewalks Is
ssid to be more honored in its breach
than in its observance, 30 much so that
ladies are loud in their complaints. At
certain corners where men congregate
no attention whatever is paid to the law,
and the sidewalks are render ed insight y
and insanitary by expector atoms. AL
though the ordinance wss passed by the
City Council several years ago, but two
persons have so far been arrested and
fined for disregsrding its provisions.

of three or four. These seats ere ffr
the most part ordinary camp chairs
1t was. and still is. a contention on tn
part of some of the theatr9 owners
that by having movable seats they
could be pushed aside, and thus the
aisles made wider, but the Ere chief
does not hold this view, fearing, IN
case of panic, the sets Of chairs will be
thrown about in confusion with a gen
eral tendency to carry them toward
the exits, where, of course, they would
be an effectual barricade against the
egress of those who might be behind.
One of the prOvisionssof the new or
dinance win be that seats will be
firmly fastened to the floor, a stand
ard width for aisles will also be es-
tablished, which will not hs less than
three feet.
THE thing we fear in case of fire, "
said Chief Vail last night, lis that peo-
pie viii get excited any that there will
be a stampede for the doors, and the
women and children trampled upon. So
EAR as the danger from fire is concerned,
/ do not regard the hazard as danger
Gus. If the people can only be made
to understand that there is time and
time to spare for them to reach the ex-
its if they go down the aisles in or
derby fashion, there is not one of the
small theatres in the city that cannot
be emptied in three minutes, and il
would take many times that long for
the fire to reach them from the Operat-
ing room, protected as it is with as
bestOs and iron. There would be like
ly to be little to fear from smoke as
the operating rooms are already half
way up to the ceiling and it is not prob
able that the smoke would come down
before they could get safely to the
street.
THE first thing that should be done
in case of fire occurring in the operat-
ing room is for the manager to an
nOunce the fact to the audience and
urge upon them the fact that there is
10 danger of flames Overtaking them,
but that the only peril lies i'm their be-
coming excited and making d rush for
the doors. l believe this can be done
in such a manner as not to cause an
excess of alarm.
Il do not consider that the location
of the operating room in the front of
the theatre adds to the danger, so long
as the room is fireproof and the least
quantity of cOmbustible material kept
therein necessary for the performance.
There would be ample time for every
body to get out and away long before
the fire could burn through. The only
thing we have to fear, therefore, is a
panic"
Chief Vail says that he and his assist
ants are following a system of inspec-
ton of the operating rooms and that
hereafter that inspection will be even
more strict.
Mr.. Nichols of the Electric theatre an
nounced last evening that previous to
the opening Monday the operating room
there would be made absolutely fire
proof.

thrown upon the curtain the strip
passes out between two rollers and
into the receiving magazine in like
manner. Should the apparatus be-
come out of order for any reason and
the light continue to be projected the
only portion of the film that could be
burned would be the stretch between
the two sets of rollers, perhaps a foot
in length. Not all of the theatres,
however, are thus equipped and the
film is permitted to be unwound in
such a way that the igniting of one
part of it would almost instantly re-
suit in a communication of the flames
to the whole length of the film, an
average of 500 feet.
The present city ordinance covering
fire protection for theatres does not
reach the small electric theatres. The
ordinance applies only to houses with
a seating capacity of 500 or more 1t
will be noted that none of the motion
picture shows have a seating capacity
of 500, although some of them approach
the mark closely. For the reason that
there has been no ordinance covering
the smaller theatres, that which has
been done toward protecting the pa
trens in case of fire has been lone
voluntarily by the managers of the
houses, accoI ding to Chief Vail There
is in course of preparation at this time,
however, an ordinance designed TO
cover this class Os theatres. and il is
probable that its draft will be COM
pleted by the city attorney within j
week. This ordinance will give tho
fire chief authority and power, where
as he must now depend IN the Wiling
ness of the theatre people to carry out
his suggestions
One of the features about the dan
ger OF fire in some of the theatres is
the fact that the seats are movable
that IS they are not firmly attached
to the floor, although they ara fastened
together with wooden b0ar.ls in serie {

WISE CLERK
Quits Sandwiches and Coffee for

most serious question.
For fifteen years." writes one of
these clerks, 'T have been working in
one of the government departments.
About two years ago 1 found myself
every afternoon with a very tired feel
ing in my head, trying to get the days
work off my desk.

For months there has been Gppre-
hension about the safety of the picture
theatres in the event of fire. People
were set wondering, seeing the crowds
within, whether, did mishap occur,
they would escape with life AMI limb.
In view of the extremely narrow aisles
in some of the places and the fact that,
as a rule, exits of account are the
doors through which the people enter
from the street. their safety has been
called in question.
The fire which occurred in the Elec-
trio theatre on State street Friday
night has a tendency further to start
an inSistent inquiry with reference to
the condition of the theatres. The fact
that the people who were in the Elec-
trio at the time of the fire escaped un-
harmed is regarded by every one as
fortunate. That a panic was averted
was due to the GOODNESS displayed by
one of the prOprietOrs and the audience
itself. The testimony is that there was
a reasonable order observed n getting
the people out. The consequence Of a
panic may not be measured.
The chief and, practically, the only
place in an electric theatre where there
is danger of fire originating is the
operating room, at the opposite end of
"
curtain is stretched, and which may
be termed the stage. These operating
rooms contain the motion picture ma
chine, the stereOpticOn apparatus and
the arc light. According to require
ments of the fire department, these
operating rooms, which are built on a
platform midway between the floor
and the ceiling are presumed to be
constructed in manner as nearly
f1V~.ar HI
with galvanized iron and asbestos, 50
that all the combustible material is
that which is contained within the
room itself.
The rule is that not more than two
reels of films shall be kept within the
room ut one time. but the exceptions
to that RULE show that there have been
a large number of reels of films and
as well wOsden boxes and other in
f1amm9ble materials, which are permit
ted to accumulate through the care
lessness of the employees. The chief Of
the fire department says that the
quantity of combustible material nee
essay to operate the machine would
not be sufficient fuel for a fire of any
consequence.
The primary cause of fires in the
operating rooms of motion picture
shows is the igniting of the film by the
intense heat of the light rays which
pass through ii. In order TO produce
q continuous view of the screen il is
necessary to wind from one reel upon
the other the film which contains the
exposures or photographs. So long az
the film is kept i'm constant motion
there is no danger of ignition, but if
the machinery be stopped for a mo-
ment the rays would soon ignite the
H.
this, the protector is provided with an
automatic shutter, which drops when
the mechanism stops and interposes a
mask between the lens and the film.
Most of the theatres now, it is said.
are equipped with metal film maya
zines, which are air tight From the

quillity and deepest mourning eliminat-
ed from the outgoing press reports, but
whenever a censor with a half knowl-
edge of foreign languages saw a word
that looked dangerous he would extract
whole sentence regardless of the sense
or meaning,
AS an instance, a dispatch sent to the
Associated Press denying the reports
of an uprising at OpOrto was mutilated
by the arbitrary striking out of words
like Revolutionary rifles" pilot, q"
etc. The use of any words "regicide, -
dictatorship" arms" bombs, -
plots" or the like, was usually suf-
ficient to have the message thrown
away, quite regardless of the quotation
in which the words were used. State
ments that troops were on the streets
of Lisbon were Cancelled, and nothing
regarding the financial situation was al
lowed to pass the censor.

REPUBLIC NOW
CLOSE At HAND
Leaders in the Movement in
Portugal Said to Be in Ex-
tremeIy High Spirits.
LISBON CLOSELY GUARDED
EXTENT OF THE CONSPIRACY
UNKNOWN.

Lisbon, Feb. S, via Badajos, Spain,
Feb. S.-The republican leaders in
Portugal are today in extremely high
spirits. They assert confidently that
a republic is now a matter of months,
not of years. The Associated Press
today secured an opinion on the stu
alton and outline of the republican
plan of campaign from perhaps the
most competent spokesman of the par
". This man said:
THE end of the monarchy lie near.
IT will come as Unexpectedly as did the
murder of the king and the crown
prince, and the world will wake up one
nAorning to find a republic in Portugal
II is a mistake for foreigners to mag
inc that the people of Portugal are not
awake. There is a republican organ
ization in every town, and doctors,
lawyers and even the village priests
are sending in notices of their adher-
ence by the score, and there are
Rvowed republican officers in the army
End Inevitable.
King Manuel is a wen-intentioned
boy. He starts his regime with fair
words and the restoration of political
liberty, but it is inevitable that he
should fall into the hands of the ma
nipulators of the two old parties whose
bankruptcy was proclaimed by King
Carlos and Premier Franco. The men
about the throne know that the end
is near. and when the time comes that
they realize that they cannot fight they
will surrender, as did Dom Pedro of
Brazil | don't think a shot will be
fred King Carlos knew he was max
Ing his last fight. He had transferred
every dollar ne had to England.
I'VE will make a change of regime
an open issue in the coming compaign.
We will demand that the monarchy,
which has dragged down Portugal into
the mire of political and financial
bankruptcy, abdicate to the people.
They dare not try repression again;
they can only surrender"

The African Negro
INas Beautiful Pearly Teeth, Clean,
= White and Perfect, Without
Flaw, Even in Old Age.
Living Near to Nature, His Digestion
Is Perfect.

Dr. Livingstone, and later. Henry Stan
ley, both of whom spent much time in
the exploration of Africa in their me-
moirS mention the fact that members OF
all the tribes that they came in contact
with possessed beautiful, white, pearly,
sound teeth, and that on investigation
they found that this was due to the fact
that the digestive organs of the negro had
never been impaired. and that they were
able at all times TO take care of the coarse
foods that were taken into the stomach.
The negroes food is of the plainest kind
and is seldom if ever cooked. 1t is eaten
as 1t is found, with but little preparation.
The cause of unsound and imperfect
teeth found among civilized people is due
10 two important facts-the prevalence OF
dyspepsia, indigestion and stomach trou-
bles, and the food we eat
In the foods thatlwe eat there is lack or
phOsphates and other materials necessary
10 make repairs and supply the waste IN
the teeth.
Then again few people in civilized coun-
tries are free from dyspepsia, which IN
terferes with the whole system and causes
trouble everywhere.
To have sound teeth, cure your dyspep-
STA and eat proper foods, and you Will
have little trouble with them.
A package of StuartS Dyspepsia TAB
lets should be kept in the house at all

ach. indigestion and put the stomach and

The tablets contain a powerful ingredi-
ent which assists the stomach in the proc

There are many bodily ills due entirely
TO stomach troubles.
