RECOMMENDS THAT THE CITY
INSTALL ELECTRIC FIRE ALARMS
AND PURCHASE CHEMICAL ENGINE

recommendation that the council
install an electric fire alarm system
and purchase a chemical engine were
contained in a report made last ev
ening by the fire and water commit
tee to which had been referred the
petition of Fire Chief Childreth and
other firemen. Some discussion
arose as to whether or not the city
could afford such improvements this
year and it was finally decided to
hold the report over for a week dur
ing which time some further data
on the cost and the saving to the
property holders could be gathered.
Mayor Matlock questioned the ad-
visibility of purchasing the new
fire-fighting apparatus this year in
view of the installation Of a septic
tank and for the construction of a
bridge across the Umatilla in the
western end of the city. When told
that the saving TO the property own
crs in reduced insurance premiums
would pay for the proposed improve
ments in two or three years, the
mayor stated that, while the state
ment was probably true, the average
taxpayer did not see savings unless
they were direct.
Councilman Montgomery estimated
that the proposed Improvements
would cost at the least $4,000 and he
stated that local insurance agents
had estimated the amount paid an
nually in insurance premiums in this
city from 100000 to 100000. He
stated he had written the board of
underwriters to ascertain just what
reduction the installation of an alarm
system and the purchase of chem
ical engine would secure, and recon-
mended that the council postpone ac-
ton on the report until an answer
is received

TWO MASKED MEN
ROB RESTAURANT
Iowa City Cafe Clerk Surprised By
Bandits, who Get $50.

Iowa City, Dec. 1.-Two masked
men entered the Merchants restaur-
ant here yesterday morning about
4:3O o'clock and made away with
$50 in cash. Although several ar
rests have been made by the police,
it is not certain the robbers have
been found.
John Carroll, a student of the uni
versity, was on duty at the restaur-
ant at night, when he was surprised
by the two men, who wore black
masks and over them white handker-
chiefs. One of the men covered him
with a gun, and the other went to
the cash register. He pocketed the
contents amounting to $50. He then
tried to open the safe, but after a
few minutes he gave up the trial.
About 500 was in the safe.
Several arrests were made yester-
day morning and one of the men,
Carroll thinks, may have been the
shorter of the two.
About fifteen minutes before the
robbery, a young man entered the
restaurant and asked to have a IS
bill changed. This was done and
during the time Carroll says the man
leaned and looked into the cash reg
lister. 1t is thought he may have
had something to do with the rob-
hery s..s

ALCOHOL is BApEFuL POISON
While It Furnishes Temporary Heat
and Energy It Eats and Destroys
Tissues and Organs.

"A true food will yield heat and
energy without any harm to the or,
'gans and tissues of the body. Alcohol,
while 1t yields heat and energy, acts
at the same time a. q poison. This
may be illustrated as follows: 1t is
well known that when sulphuric acid
and water are mixed together In
about equal parts. the mixture will be-
come very hot. This acid will also
corrode and eat up iron. Suppose.
now, that an engineer should adopt
the plan Of mixing sulphuric acid with
the water in the boiler when he want
ed to get up steam. The water would
be rapidly heated, and. to an ignorant
person. this would seem to be a good
plan. It would soon be found, how
ever. that the material Of the engine
was being rapidly destroyed by the
acid. and either this method OF get
ting up energy would have to be dis
continued or the boiler would soon,
need to 60 to the shop for repairs or
be abandoned altogether" DR.. Cutler:
Alcohol corrodes and leafs up" the
orgsns and tissues; 1t Injuries the deli,
cate machinery of the body and finally.
destroys it so that the body decays

GOAT vANQuIsHEs POLICE
Ruminant Butts Man OFT Porch and
Strips of His Uniform Officer
Sent to Quiet Him. /

Chicago.-John Boland of 100 West
TWenty-second street was a thousand
miles from Chicago in . his dreams
sleeping on a chair on the back porch.
when a large Angora goat, with a
snowy beard and a determined ex.
preston, butted him off the chair and
into wakefulness.
Boland ran a marathon to the wood,
shed just in time to feel the impact
of the goat against the door. Mem.
bers Of the family, aroused by his ap.
peals for aid, telephoned the police
and Charles Hickey, a brave patrol,
man, responded. j,
Hickey learned with ease to distin.
guish between both ends Of a healthy
goat. AS he CROPPED about in the dark
yard something went amiss. He be.
lieves that he collided with the goat.
At any rate, he sustained a terrific
shock where the high cost of living
is most felt.
Neighbors notified the police again,
this time that a riot was in progress.
They also suspected a Mexican ii,
vasion and a decisive battle in the
Boland back yard. Policemen who
crowded a responsive patrol wagon
deduced the fact that the goat had
disappeared, as they failed to sus.
tain the shocks that almost sent
Tickey to the hospital.
Boland, who has forsworn the chair
On the porch for sleeping purposes,
told the police he did not know what
kind of an animal he had to deal with.
He almost suspected that a white ele,
plant was loose. 7.
