BOARD
HELD SESSION
POLICE OFFICERS AND FiREMEN
WERE UP FOR TRIAL AND THEIR
CASES PASSED UPON-FIRE
CHIEF MAY ATTEND SESSION
OF FIRE CHIEFS IN GRAND
RAPIDS.

A number Of matters Of interest re-
lating to the police and fire depart
ments came up before the meeting of
the Board of Public Safety, held in
the city clerks Office last night.
Among the most interesting, If not
the most important, was the hearing
Of various charges against officers and
employees Of the two departments.
H. H. AYerill. OF the fire depart
ment, was charged with disobeying
orders. Charges were sustained and
Averill was suspended for twenty
days
Dillon Touart made a satisfactory
adjustment of matters held against
him and the charges against him
were dismissed.
A lengthy and very interesting case
was that Of Officer Booske, stock
catcher, who was charged with turn
ing in false reports as to his stations
in the city at different hours of the
night. Seven witnesses were called
in this case, two for the city and FIVE
for the defendant, and considerable
time was given to their examination.
In executive session the board sus-
tanned the charges and suspended the
officer for fifteen days.
A request was read from the fire
department that the board recommend
to the city council that $125 be al
lowed the chef of the fire department
to pay his expenses to the convention
of fire department chiefs to be held
at Grand Rapids. Michigan. The re-
commentator was made.
An informal report was read from
the chief of police recommending that
Oficer Cowart be retained as desk
sergeant. The board approved action
Of the chief.
The report Of special uniform COM
mittee of the fire department was
heard, and accepted, the board ruling
that each man must pay for his own
uniform.
recommendation From Mayor.
A communication from Mayor Reilly
was read, recommending that an old
vessel, at Cedar street, near Baylen,
be burned, setting forth the fact that
it was full OF stagnant water, endan-
gering the health Of that section Of
the city.
A communication from Mr.. Saun-
ders, owner of the old vessel, was
read, granting permission for such
action.
The board appointed the fire chief
and city marshal as a committee to
pass Judgment as to the safety Of
burning the vessel.
A number of minor communications
were read, most of which were appli-
cations for positions, etc.

GERSON TALKS

SOME OF HIS BOOST TALK AP-
PEARS IN RECENT ISSUE OF
BALTIMORE AMERICAN.

That Captain R. F. Gerson Is a real
live Pensacola booster sure enough is
attested by the following clipping ap-
pearing in Saturdays issue of the
baltimore American. This is how
he talks:
IF you would come to my town
these days you would see not the i'm
itation OF a busy and hustling burg,
but the real thing" said Captain r F.
Gerson. of Pensacola, Fla, at the
City Hotel.
''The truth is that of late our ship
ping trade has become very heavy.
Lumber has the call over everything,
and the harbor is full of big ships
that carry all the way from 1000, 900
to 100000 feet Of lumber waiting TO
be served. So many have come at
once that the steyedores cant get
enough men to handle the jobs, and
almost every craft is worked short
handed in spite of the fact that the

in hot demand at IS, the first time III
years that the local labor supply was

LIFE OF A PIMPLE
Compilations are Cleared and PImpIes
Disappear Overnight Without
Trouble.

lF0uDies
The dispensers OF poslam, a new
skin discovery, ask that notice be
given that no one is urged TO puF-
chase it without first obtaining an
experimental package. Everyone WAC
has tried it knows that the 1fty-cent
box, on sale at the Crystal Phar-
macy and all drug stores, is SUI
hcient to cure the worst cases
OF eczema, where the surface
affected is not too large. The itching
ceases on first application. 1t viii
also cure acne, letter, blotches, scaly
scalp, hives, BARRIERS and every other
form of itch, including itching
feet. Being f1esh-eolored and contain
ing no grease, the presence Of pos
lam on exposed surfaces, such as the
face and hands is not percepiDle-
Water and soap cannot be used in
connection with it, as these irritate
and prolong skin troubles, sometimes
even causing them.
AS 10 the experimental package OF
poslam, it can be had free of charge
by mail of the Emergency Labora-
tories, 30 West Twenty fifth Street,
New York. 1t alone is sufficient to
clear the complexion overnight, and
to rid the face Of pimples in twenty

POUND MELON
J. M'LAUGHLIN, OF BOMBAY,
SENDS A FINE ONE TO THE
JOURNAL WITH HIS coMPLI-
MENTS.

J. Mclaughlin, of Bombay, Holmes
county, goes up heat n the big wa
termelon Glars. The Journal is in re-
ceipt of one from Mr.. Mclaughlin
which weighs fifty-fOUr pounds He
does not state that it is any special
variety, but that its enormous size is
due to the fact that it grew in Holmes
county, intimating that everything
planted there did a little better than
anywhere else in he world.
Mr.. Mclaughlin says the delicious
flavor of this melon will cause a
spasmodic fit of retrospection, recall
ing with vivid recollection the golden
days Of boyhOOd down on the farm.
If this is the true flavor and its size
is a fair sample of Holmes product,
surely that county has countless
riches undeVeloped.
The big melon was placed on dis
play in The Journal Office yesterday
and caused much comment.

the life of the idealist or the icono-

men and real women, behaving and act

BROADER GENERAL CHARLES
MORTON SAYS 1T is THE
GREATEST TROUBLE.
Soldiers Ars Affected More by Desire
to Return to Familiar Haunts
Than by Anything Else.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. %
Brigadier General Charles Morton,
commanding the department of the
Missouri, one of the oldest, in point of
service, of the officers of the army, is
official sponsor for the rea that the
geratest trouble with the American
soldier is Inconsistencies and that of
the plainest unnodified variety De-
sertiOn has long been the most per-
picking problem Of the officers who are
constantly striving to build up thor
oughly trained army units. No sooner
have they started on their task when
the recruit, beginning to undergo the
metamorphosis into the soldiery reg
ular, takes notion to get back to the
undisciplined order of civil life. More
recruits take their places and the pro-
cess is continuous so that the army
officer is constantly confronted with
this variety of embryo soldier Like
the poor of the Bible, he is always
with them.
General Morton, who has had time
to study the problem for the As years
he has been i'll the military service, be-
lieveS inconsistencies is the trouble, and
for this reason suggests a modification
of the stern treatment which is meted
to the deserving soldier boy who over
stays his leave to get a glimpse of
home from whence he set forth with
beating heart to achieve glory for s13
a month.
Says General Morton in his report to
the department:
Il am fully convinced that the ma
jOr portion of the assertions by very
young men, in the early part of their
enlistment terms, is due to home
sickness and disappointment over what
they enormously anticipated a soldiers
life to be. The numerous attempts by
this class of deserters to enlist again
AMI the number found to have sue
