| The officers, three in number, later
apprehended the victims brother
Frederick Cline who is now in Jail at
Warsaw
This is the third man shot by ward
ends in Kosciusko county this spring
and people in general are becoming
indignant because of the free use OF
weapons. Kosciusko county has
| thirty-seven lakes and there have
been more arrests there for illegal
fishing than in any other county in
north central Indiana.
Douglas, who is night police off,
Ger in Warsaw, was accompanied by
Deputy Wardens John Rigney, of
Goshen, and Andy Vanderford, OF
Columbia City They came upon Milo
Cline on the east bank of Webster
lake Douglas commanded him TO
halt, but instead of doing SO the boy
took to his heels. The officer i'm
mediately began firing and one bullet
struck the young man. He halted,
but only for a moment, and then pro-
ceeded to a near by woods where he
disappeared A short time later a
brother of the wounded man, Fred
Cline, was placed under arrest on the
charge of violating the fish laws.

"If you don't stop ! will kill YOU"
"The residents of North Webster

Gus shooting by game wardens and
unless there is let-up in the free use
of weapons some reckless officer will
receive a bullet"
At the time OF the shooting Mrs.

TO GET AFTER
THE FIRETRAPS
STATE FACTORY INSPECTOR
VIM. F. BLAKELY AND DEP
UTY HAVE EVOLVED
PLAN OF FIRE PRO-
TIE c TION IN
HOTELS.

accommodation that doorways be
cut between the rooms of all hotels
and other buildings with many COM
partments used for the convenience
of the public, will be made in the fut-
ure by William E. Blakely, state fac
tory Inspector This plan for pro-
lection from fire has been evolved by
d. F. Specs, chief deputy in the de-
partment of inspection. In numer-
Gus instances the inspection depart
ment has recommended that such
changes be made in buildings and
these changes have been made.
The recent hotel fire disaster at Ft
| Wayne, however, has stirred TIE de-
partment to more vigorous action,
and wherever it seems that there
would be any great danger in time of
| fire, orders will be given for the plac-
ing of doorways between all of the
rooms. 1t is likely that an attempt
will be made in the next legislature
to have enacted law which will re-
quire this plan to be followed in the
construction of hotels, sanitoriums,
and such buildings used as lodging
places.
81 believe this method of providing
| many intercommunicating doorways
is about the only one by which the
fire problem may be solved" said
Mr. Specs while the New Avel-
line hotel at Ft Wayne burned quick
ly and caused loss of many lives,
there are other hotels in the state
that are in fully as bad condition. Of
course. tSle New Aveline was not just
exactly what one would have wished.
There were humber of narrow hall
ways, but hotels must have elevators,
and when fire starts up an elevator
shaft it spreads rapidly, and when
Railways are filled with smoke it is
difficult to get out safely"
Mr.. Specs says that if all rooms
are connected with doorways it will
be possible for the occupants of all
the rooms to go through other rooms
and reach the fire escape without fac
ing the binding smoke which may
have filled the corridors. He believes
this will remove one of the greatest
elements of danger.
"Of course there is no doubt said
Mr.. Specs that some of the occu-
pants of hotels will object to having
doorways between their room and the
rooms of other occupants. / don't
know just how this will be arranged
in case OF hotels, but il may be that
there can be plan by which the
clerk can unlock all of the intercom-
municating doors from the Office. i
am convinced though that there must
be some such plan before the mimi
mum of danger is reached. Only re-
Gently we ordered such changes made
in sanitorium.
"The danger of loss of life in hotel
fires is one that must be combated
There is far more danger in hotel
fires than in schoolhouse fires. Oc-
cupants of hotels are not awake dur
ing the night, and have little oppor-
tunity to be warned of danger. Then,
again. hotel buildings usually are high
while school buildings are not. There
are other hotels in the state that are
fully as hazardous as the New Ave
line, and some drastic efforts must
be made to remedy the evil

The city council met in regular ses-
sion Monday evening with all men,

President S. S. Pearley of South
Bend, petitioned for franchise for
the South Bend and Logansport In
terurban Co., to operate in and
through the city of Plymouth. The
provisions are the same as those con,
tanned in the franchise granted to the
indianapolis Soath Bend and Logans-
port Traction Co. last year, and are
n part as follows:
1st. The franchise shall hold for
40 years after its passage. End. There
shall be not to exceed two tracks, IL

Gated in middle of street. Power

tremity of tracks. 4th Excavations

nails etc 5th The city will be i'm
mune from any damage proceeding
which NAV arise from the fault or
carelessness of the company, and to

move IS tracks etc Sth If within

franchise the company fails TO file

within months after acceptance has
been filed, the company has not be-
gun work on construction OF said

the financial backing which it needed,
and now it intends to push the work
from South Bend to Plymouth. The
survey is now being made and will be
completed within the week Mr.
Pearly stated that for a time the road
would run from South Bend to the
Michigan street bridge in this city.
Then as soon as bonds could be dis
posed of, the road would be complet.
ed to Logansport, which is the final
aim of the company
The question of whether the Michi-
gan street bridge will be strong
enough to sustain the cars, was dis
cussed. 1t was said that the county
commissioners are considering how
to strengthen the old bridge or build
a new concrete arch.
After much discussion Councilman
MCCOY moved that the franchise be
passed the first reading Council voted

GIVES ADVICE
TO HOUSEWIVES
STATE FOOD COMMISSIONER
BARNARD ADVOCATES THE
PRINCIPLE OF CLEANLI-
NESS IN THE HOME
FOR HEALTH OF
FAMILY

H. +. Barnard, State food and drug
commissioner, believes the consumer
can do much toward improving the
food supply. Clean water, clean food
clean streets and clean houses pro-
mote health, he declares, and there
fore the housewife and every one
around the home for that matter,
should understand the best methods
for bringing about these desirable
conditions. With this mind, Mr.. Bar
nard has prepared a list of sugges-
tions to be observed These sug-
gestions include everything from /p-
proved methods of protecting food in
the kitchen to rules to be observed
at the market sand.
Care should always be taken"
said NJ. Barnard, in discussing his
list of rules, ito select a milkman
who presents cleanly appearance
man who has clean hands, clean
clothes, a clean wagon and clean cans.
1t is best to buy only the bottled
milk when this is possible Wash and
scald the milk bottles as soon as they
have been emptied and return them
to the milkman. Milk should never
be left uncovered anywhere and the
consumer should remember that tu-
berculosis kills 100000 people an
nually and that it may be carried
through infected milk.
Great care should be used in the
kitchen All food should be kept COW
cred. no matter how inconvenient this
may be- Drinking water sh, aid never
be left uncovered and every effort
should be exerted to see TO ii that
food is protected from flies. Cleanli-
ness should be the rule around the
kitchen-extreme cleanliness. Every
kitchen utensil should be kept scru-
pulously clean. The cooks hands
should be clear. Typhoid fever has
been contracted from dirty hands.
Sometimes | believe people are
not careful enough in selecting the
man from whom they buy their food
supplies. A tradesman should be Sc
lected with much the same careful
ness that a physician is selected
Every consumer should satisfy him
self that his tradesman handles only
high-class goods. The best and pur-
ess-food is cheapest in the end. 1t is
never wise to eat raw meat OF any
kind. 1t is the cooking that kills the
germs If there are any present. All
meat should be cooked thoroughly,
especially Hamburg steak and pork.
"One good rule to be followed is
to buy food at the cleanest stores
only. Refuse to take food handled
by dirty hands and insist that ali food
is well wrapped. Observe this rule in
buying candy for your children or for
yourself Be sure that the candy
which your children buy from the
pushcart is pure and clean. Buy your
bread and cake only at the cleanest
bakeries Take a look into the bak-
ing rooms if possible and assure your
self that the rooms are clean and that
you are getting a clean product,
Above all things the consumer should
insist that the dealer keep his supplies
off the sidewalk There is danger
of disease in street dirt
Mr.. Barnard believes that the con-
sumer may do much to promote
health and TO secure for the public the
best food supplies. 1t is his opinion
that If the public insists on whole
some food this is the kind that will
be supplied by the dealer.
