CIRCULATION
ElREPRooE BUILDINGS.

The nreproof building is necessary
In the crowded portions Of all our cit"
les, and the day is not distant when
municipal regulations will require the
erection of such buildings in crowded
business or residential sections.
Attention is being called to the fact
that in 1s days of April i've big fres
in different parts Of the United States
resulted IN a loss of 100000, the
death Of twenty persons, the injury OF
seventeen, and making homeless more
than three thousand. The greatest of
these fires was at Fort Worth, Texas.
resulted In q loss OF 100000. the
$4,000, 900 and $4,000, 600, and the sec
ond In Importance was at Rochester,
n. T., with a loss OF 100000.
No nation suffers what this nation
does from fire losses; and It is not
strange that Richard l.. Humphrey,
engineer IN charge of the structural
material laboratories Of the United
States geological survey says "the peo-
pie Of the United States have not
learned the lesson Of the Baltimore and
San Francisco nres.
Fort Worth's recent experience
when more than three hundred hom s
were devoured by the flames is but a
repetition Of what happened in the
past and what will occur in the future
until American municipalities wake to
the situation and enact legislation
which will absolutely prevent the fur
ther construction Of buildings that are
not nreproof.
TT seems difficult to make the peo-
pie believe that in 1907 fires in the
United States cost more than a million
and q quarter dollars for every day In
the year, an annual tax OF more than
IS for every man. woman and child in
the country. We are spending a bill
lion dollars a year on new buildings
and construction work, while our fires
cost half billion dollars. No other
nation has such an unehviable record
40 this. Our fires are costing from
six 10 eight times as much per capita
as any country in Europe. BY the
total cost Of fires, refer not only
to the actual destruction Of property.
which amounted to $215, 600, but
also to the cost Of the maintenance of
fire departments and the amount OF
insurance paid over and above the
money returned to reimburse owners
OF buildings.
While we are wasting several times
az much property per capita as Eu-
rope. we are also destroying in these
flres I'VE times as many lives as are
lost in the other countries. In 1906.
according to the United States census.
six thousand persons died Of burns
and perhaps ten thousand were seri-
ously injured"

WRONG I'M PRINCIPLE.

A special despatch from Washing
ton represents that President Taft
does not approve of the census bill
as agreed upon by the senate and the
house, because the measure confers
extraordinary power upon the director
Of the census, making it practically
impossible for the secretary OF COM
merce and labor and even for the
president himself to interpose in any
way, in the taking of the census of
1910 The president and Secretary
Nagel Of the labor bureau hold that
this is wrong, in principle, believing
that since the country at large holds
them responsible for a good admins
tration Of the census bureau, exclusive
power should not be vested in a sub
ordinate officer.
There are all sorts Of reports about
concerning Director North of the cen
sus Bureau, who is alleged to have
recommended to the committee of the
congress that the features which have
proved so Objectionable to the presi-
dent and to the secretary Of commerce
and labor be incorporated in the meas
ure.
1t is believed that Director North
will retain his present position in case
the census bill is made acceptable to
the president. 1t was believed in
many quarters that Director North
would certainly be dismissed from Of
flee or would be asked to resign, be-
cause Of his differences with Secretary
Nagel; but there is now a fair pros
pect that the differences may be amic-
ably adjusted.

FIRST MUNICIPAL WIRELESS
TELEPHONE SYSTEM,
FIRST

The distinction of being the first
New England city to have a wireless
telephone system belongs to Portland,
Me, by which ii Is now in. close
communication with the islands of
Casco bay. 1t is hard for old fashioned
people to believe and 1t is to be ex-
pected that there should be many
doubters though the first talking with
out wires has been accomplished to
the satisfaction of the islands and the
city people. It is claimed by some of
the doubters that there will be no
satisfactory communication in stormy
weather, but that is said to be pro-
vided for. 1t is asserted, also, that
the messages will be mixed up, but
the experts say they have found a way
to make all the talk independent or
secret to the telephones in use for GER
tain connections.
There seems to be no question but
the invention is all that is claimed for
IT. and it will in a few years be lust
as natural to communicate in this
wireless way over long distances as
It now is to do so over electrified
wires.

.2l4 POUNDS
OF FOOD
OF Any Kind, Are Fully Digested
By One tablespoonful Of KodOl.

Any kind of food, understand-not
just some certain kinds. Kodol Is
rightly termed the Perfect Digest
ant"-because It does digest any and
all classes Of food. Kodol does this
because it contains, in liquid form,
every one of Natures digestive ele-
ments-therefore cannot help but d.
gest food the way it does. Kodol,
as stated digests all food-promptly
and completely = and assures good
health II the stomach. Come to think
of it-Kodol does accomplish a great
deal-if one gives it chance. Some
of the commonest and surest indica-
lions Of more or less developed diges-
tive trouble are these:
Bad breath, bad taste in the mouth,
rising of sour. bitter huid. gas and
undigested particles Of food into the
mouth, tenderness and dull pain at
"pit'' of the stomach sometimes re-
lieved by eating). sensation of faint
ness, dizziness. and being all gone"
bloating Of stomach and bowels, ca
PRECIOUS and uncertain appetite, fiabby
coated tongue uncomfortable full"
sensation after eating, heartburn, I"
lingering headaches, heart "huttering'
or palpitati0n, dull, sleepy, 'logy' feel
ing, irregular action Of the bowels,
melancholla, gloomy forebodings. etc.
Our guarantee: Get a dollar bottle
Of Kodol If you are not benefited
the druggist will at once return your
money. Don't hesitate; any druggist
will sell you Kodol on these terms.
The dollar bottle contains ~ times
as much as the SOC bottle. Kodol is
prepared in the laboratories OF r. c.
Dewitt & Co. Chicago.

TOO HAsrY.

The anti Roosevelt men who are de-
claring with apparent glee that Taft
has departed from the policies Of
Roosevelt, have forgotten the fact
that the president has over and over
again averred that he stood for them.
The harassing Of the trusts is held I'd
for little because the Sherman law
needs amending to make it effective,
and before Taft was elected Roosevelt
was complaining about the defective
ness Of that law. President Taft is
proceeding in a quiet way to have a
better law that the work Of the ad-
ministration may be done more effec-
lively. He has no thought Of letting
the INSCRIPTIONS trusts have their
sweet will, but will see that law is
respected by the high and the low. Just
az present he Is absorbed in the tariff
revision, and he has the ability and
power to supervise this very import
ant matter and to check extortionate
schedules which are no less than a.
crime against the people.

THE LEeALIzEp SUNDAY SALOON

1t seems queer to New England to
see a great many ministers of New
York favor the licensed Sunday saloon,
and they wonder at it; but these men
claim that this is in the interests Of
morality and decency. that it would be
a better Sunday condition than exists
there today. The Rev. DIR. Peters is
quoted as having said:
why everybody knows that the sa-
looms Of New York are now open on
Sundays all day. What we want is
to close them part Of the day and have
them open under the law and with ade-
quate supervision part of the day.
There is one-ffth more liquor sold in
New York on Sundays than there is
sold on holidays at present; why? Be-
cause the conditions of obtaining it
are such as to encourage BOOKING"
II IL claimed that this law would
reduce the liquor drunk on Sunday
there at least by one-half, and that
legal control part of the day is a wiser

appeal to the Well-Informed in every
walk of life and are essential to permanent
success and creditable standing. Accor-
ingly, it is not claimed that Syrup of Figs
and Elixir of SIENNA is the only remedy Of
known value, but one Of many reasons
why it is the best Of personal and family
laxatives is the fact that it cleanses,
sweetens and relieves the internal organs
on which it acts without any facilitating
after effects and without having to increase
she quantity from time to time.
It acts pleasantly and naturally and
truly as laxative, and its component
parts are known to and approved by
physicians, as it is free from all objection
able substances. To get its beneficial
effects always purchase the genuine
manufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co., only, and for sale by all leading drug
gists.

Some of the wealthiest members oI

eral tax on large incomes and will
support the Cummins or Bailey bill.
One of them is Mr.. Grogenheim of
Colorado, whose wealth runs into tens
Of millions and who would pay a per-
sonal tax of more than 100000 under
the Cummins bill. Another is Sena-
tor Stephenson Of Wisconsin, whn

for reelection. Washington has a
story that several senators favorable
to an income tax, along with Justice
Harlan of the United States supreme
court. di1ed at the. White House Sat-
urday night anil talked the matter
over with the president. It viii be
recalled that Justice Harlan wrote an
extremely vigorous dissenting opinion
when the income tax law OF 1894 was
