Volunteer Fireman
True Pubic Spirit of the First
President Is Shown in Signi-
fcdnt Action Recorded

One of the facts in the history of
George Washington which most his.
torians fail to mention is that he was
volunteer fireman. About 1850 he
enrolled himself in the volunteer fire
company at Alexandria, Va.
1t is related that on more than one
occasion when Washington learned
that there was a fire in the vicinity of
Alexandra which had called out the
firemen he mounted his horse and
rode thither from Mount Vernon. The
records Of the place show that when
the volunteer fire department was or
ganized each member agreed "out of
mutual friendship" to carry to every
fire two leathern buckets and one
great bag of oznaburg or wider linen"
which was the primitive means of ex-
tinguishing a FIRE.
The Friendship Fire company of
Alexandria was organized in 1774. at
which time Washington was a dele
gate to the Continental congress in
Philadelphia. The members of the
company, remembering Washington's
--~~SA SCI bASC0 dS q elected
him an honorary member at their first
meeting, and forwarded him a CODY of
the minutes.
To show his appreciation of the
compliment, he, at once made a thor
ough inspection of the different kinds
OF tire engines in use in PHILADELPHIA,
and upon his second return there in
l775, he bought from one Gibbs a
small tourth-class engine for 80
pounds and ten shillings, and Just be-
fore he set out for Boston to become
eommander-in-chief of the Contiuen.
tai army sent this little engine as a
present to the Friendship company.
Washington did not lose his inter
est in fire matters through his eleva-
ton to position and power. Upon his
retirement to Mount Vernon, after his
second term as president, and when
his fame spread around the world,
he continued to take active interest
IN the volunteer fire department, and
aided it in many ways.

fact that Lord Spencer was one of the

A TROUBLE MAKER
Coffee Poison Breeds Variety of Ills,


A California woman who didn't
know for twenty years what kept her
i'll, writes to tell how she won back her
health by quitting coffee:
Il am "a years DID," she says, have
used coffee all my life, and for 20
years suffered from indigestion and
insomnia. Life was a burden and a
drag to me all the time, and about
once year my ailments got such hold
upon me that was regularly sick in
bed for several weeks each time.
Il was reluctant to conclude that
coffee was the cause of my trouble, but
am thankful that / found out the
truth.
Then 1 determined to use Postum
ezclusively-fo week at first-for 1
doubted my ability to do without cof-
fee for any length of time. l made
the Postum carefully, as directed, and
before the week expired had my re-
ward in a perceptible increase in
strength and spirits. ...... ..
Seeing the good that my short ex-
pertinent had accomplished, resolved
to continue the use of Postum, cutting
out the coffee entirely. This l did for
nine months, finding, daily, increased
cause for qualification at my steadily
improving health. My indigestion grad
ually left me, my sleep returned,
gained 26 pounds in weight, my color
changed from sallow to fresh, rosy
hue and life became blessing.
Then thought / would try coffee
again, and did so for few weeks, The
punishment for deserving my good
friend. Postum, was a return of my old
troubles.
That taught me wisdom, and 1 am
now and shall be all my life hereafter
