Baden-Powell Says Americans Are Care
less About Fire.

Sir Robert S. S. Baden Powell attrib-
utes the tremendous number of fires in
America to carelessness. He says that in
the six weeks he spent in the United
States he saw more fire engines and fires
than he had seen in six years in Eng
land The population in London is great
err than that OF New York Statistics
that he points out show that in London
last year there were 3,205 fires, in New
York 1895. "And New York. he SAYS,
"has only two-thirds the population of
London. The money loss over these fires
was S2l4,000,000. II may seem strange
to include fires and railway accidents
as attributable to faulty education, but
am to some extent justified in doing
so by a little incident which came to
me in New York
"The changing of the fire bell an
nounced a fire engine coming down
Broadway at the busiest time of the
day; the traffic was held up and, though
fire engine creates none of the excite
ment there that it does in London, the
attention of passersby was drawn to it
in this case because it bore huge plac-
ard. This was designed to inform the
public that the large proportion of the
fires in the city were due to their own
negligence, and urged them to exercise
more care and common sense.
'In giving this warning that fire en-
CINE aimed its nozzle on to one of the
weak points in American character, viz,
'Carelessness,' the result of want of
character training"

Asks Legislation That Will Per-
nit Test of Canal Bill
IN UNITED STATES COURTS
Another Veto on Appropriation Bill IL
Expected from Taft--Inquiry Into
Rela tons Between Steam
ship Lines.

Washington, Aug. 20.President Taft
closed a day of conference on the Pan.
anna canal bill with a special message
to Congress yesterday, suggesting ihe
passage of legislation which would per-
nit American ships to use the canal
toll free, and also allow foreign nations
to test the legality of this provision
by suits in American courts.
The president discussed the matter
with members of both branches of Con-
gress whose committees will consider
it to-day.
1t is the belief to-day that an ef-
fort will be made to meet the presidents
wishes, although some leaders are in
clined to the opinion that the message
meant there will be no further action
in regard to the canal at the present
session.
Taft explained that he is anxious to
sign the present bill, but wished to as
sure other governments of spirit Of
fairness on the part of the United
States.
The president was told an act of Con-
gress would have had the effect of ali
rogating any treaty previously agreed,
and decision of the supreme court over
the Chinese exclusion act was given as
authority for the statements.
His suggestion to Congress for addi-
tional legislation is designed to prevent
any such construction as that of the
supreme court in the Chinese case and
would allow foreigners to try their cases
in American courts.

working girls friend, and ali women who
suffer should write to you for special

ST., Poughkeepsie, N. Y.
When a remedy has lived for over
thirty years, steadily growing in popu-
larity and influence, and thousands upon
thousands of women declare they owe
their very lives to it, is it not reasonable
to believe that it is an article of great
merit?
We challenge anyone to show any
other one remedy for special class of
disease which has attained such an enor-
nous demand and maintained it for so
many years as has Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound.

He inquired of the woman of the house if she

Indeed, Sir. l do, was the response. Il

The harvester trust Is planning
on establishing demonstration
farm in North Dakota or the
northern part of South Dakota for
the purpose of carrying on a sys-
tenn of farming adapted to all
sorts of weather conditions, and
thereby producing crops when
others fail The trust doesn't be-
lieve a crop failure is necessary in
any year, and will endeavor to
prove it. Later it may come into
this section of the state and give
an illustration of what intensified
farming will do. This section of
the state doesn't produce as large
crops as the soil warrants, and
demonstration farm will prove it.
Besides, when land gets to be
worth from 800 to $3.50 an acre il
needs more careful farming if il
pays interest on the investment
every year.
