Today

Gambler, Sept. 30-Kenyon will line
up as follows in the game against Ohio
Wesleyan this afternoon: l.. e., Axtell;
|. t., Lewis; l. g., Cook; c., Dickinson;
r. G., Langmade; r. t., Anderson; r. e.,
Wonders; q. b., Rhorabrough; r. b.,
Marty; |. h., Carr; f. b., Bowlus, subs,
Beatty, Wickham, Crawford, Koehn-
line, Tasman and Downe.
Yesterday afternoons practice was
exceedingly light, there being no
scrimage work. The latter part of the
afternoon was devoted to catching the
long punts of Captain Axtell, who is
rapidly developing into one of the best
punters Kenyon has ever had.
A large portion of the student body
was down on the field watching the
players and speculating as to the out
come of today's game. Kenyons line
has been materially improver by the
addition of Lewis and Cook, both of
whom are giants, and it is on these
two and speediness of play that the
students are relying for victory to-
day.

glad did, for 1T has cured me.
II know of SO many cases where wo-
men have been cured by Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound that can
say to every suffering woman if that
medicine does no5 help her, there is
nothing that will."-Mrs. JANETzKI,
1908 Arch St., Chicago, Ill.
This is the age of substitution, and
women who want q cure should insist
upon Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound just as this woman did, and
not accept something else on which the
druggist can make little more profit.
Women who are passing through this
critical period or who are suffering
from any of those distressing ills pc
culiar to their sex should not lose sight
of the fact that for thirty years Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
which is made from roots and herbs
has been the standard remedy for fc-
male ills. In almost every communit2

Rubbish
Have you a pile OF rubbish in the cell
lar or some outbuilding? Rubbish
was responsible for SO fires in Ohio in
1903 There is no excuse for such
fires Rubbish piles are unsightly and
should be removed on that account.
But the readiness with which II may
be ignited mikes it exceedingly dan
gerous A carelessly thrown match or
one Accidentally stepped on, a lighted
cigar or cigarette, or oily waste or
rags within the pile, and a thousand
other things may set 1t on fire. Let
all rubbish be gotten rid of on Fire

The "Criminap Match

with matches. If we were always care
full we should never use anything 9th

would be this: Never to buy, and ex

Oily Waste and Rags

If you have been housecleaning and
have had occasion to have the floors
oiltd you should be certain that any
cloths or waste used in the process
in any enclosed place. ANY other
greasy substance is likewise danger.
Gus, because these things ignite spon-
taneously when placed where there is
not free circulation of air They
should be gotten rid of Immediately
after they have served this purpose
Miscellaneous Dangers
Kerosene or coal oil, the gasolene
can. the swinging gas bracket, wood
work lear furnace pipe, or a stove
pipe or chimney, or near stove, wood
work scar or touching a steam pipe,
improperly installed or insulated cleo
tric wiring are all dangers to be looked
into and removed These subjects
cannot be treated in detail
Fire Prevention Day ~ School
1t is earnestly desired by the Depart
ment that the teachers in our public
and private schools will take advan-
tage of the day to impress upon their
pupils of every age the great loss oc-
casioned by fire; that the greater part
of it can be prevented by only ordin-
ary care, and to instruct their pupils
in the ways of ordinary fire preven-
ton. 1t is suggested that brief re-
view of some of the lessons in the
textbook prepared by this department
might be of value in this connection.
ohio's Standing
1t may not be generally known that
Ohio enjoys the lowest average fire in
surance rate of any state west of the
Ohio river. 1t is possible for her to
enjoy the lowest rate east or west of
that stream. A conscientious effort on
the part of our people, not only on
Fire Prevention Day, but every day,
to reduce the fire waste will soon
bring us to that happy state.
There is wide spread fallacy that
fire insurance companies make the
rate of insurance They do not. Con
ditions make the rate. The people
can control the conditions if they will
and in consequence the rate.
The Governor of Ohio has deemed
the subject of fire waste Of sufficient
Importance to justify him in address
ing the people upon it by formal proc
lamation. Will not our people re
spond by acting upon his recommenda
tion with hearty zeal?

An alarm of dre was sounded At
1855 Wednesday afternoon. Within
five minutes after the signal the fire
department had three streams of wa
ter playing on it. The fire had broken
out in four different places in the vi
cinity of 18th and High street and had
gained considerable headway before
the alarm had been turned in. The
home of Jas. A. Redding and large
barn with several small buildings back
of the house were the first to get on
fire while the home of Joseph Burke
caught but sustained little damage.
Another small house of Mr.. Burke
back of High street also caught but
lighted on the roof of house belonging
to G. w. Lamb and this was also put
out with but little damage. There
was quite a breeze stirring but the
strenuous efforts of the firemen, their
readiness to carry out the orders of
Chief Will Beck, who showed that there
I'd been no mistake in his selection,
quickly subdued the flames. The boys
ali worked faithfully and thus prevent
ed what might have been disastrous
confla- ration. While no definite esti-
mate has been made as to the amount
of the damage. it is thought it will be
upwards of $1,000 the largest part be-
ing sustained by MIR Redding. Sever

| quickly they got to the scene. 1t is
stated that this is the largest fire
Idaho Springs has had in four years
which is another evidence of the
promptness of the firemen in respond

appreciation of the work in saving his
! property by doing the right thing with
the volunteer firemen.

Our neighboring city on the east
Golden, has the credit of starting two
men on the royal road to fortune or at
least that city was the beginning of af-
fuence George Pullman the inventor
of the Pullman berths worked at his
trade there and while doing so he got
an idea from the bunk way of the min
er's cabin that led him to invent the
Pullman berth system. Then there is
w. L Douglas, the great shoeman,
who was cobbler in Golden and finally
run store there. He also saw the
opportunity of expanding his genius
for advertising and he keeps it up.
His success has been due to his adver
tising and he never forgets this i'm
portant factor in his road to success.
He advertises on all sides and thus
takes trade from under the noses of
those who don't believe in advertising.
