-FOUR COTTAGES
WERE DAMAGED
TWO PLACES WERE DESTROYED
WHILE TWO OTHERS WERE
BADLY BURNED, FIRE START
ING IN UNoccUPIED HOUSE.

Fire starting at 1:55 a. m. yester-
day, threatened quite a lot of houses
in the northern part of the city be-
fore the trucks could stay the progress
Of the flames which had their origin
in an unoccupled house at No. Ills
North Tarragona street. Two places
were entirely consumed. while heavy
domage was sustained by two others.
At SIS o'clock in the morning the
department was called to the lire
which started in the unoccupied place
referred to- The house at No. ITO
North Tarragona, occupied by Mary
Jones, was damaged. The place at No.
1112, owned and occupied by Alice
George Bradley, was also damaged,
but the house at No. Ills, which was
vacant, and In which the flames seem
to have had their origin. was a total
loss. as was also that at No. 1113,
occupied by Will Shelby.
1t was believed that the fire was
started by some party purposely, as
the number of railroad engines along
the road right now is limited, and be-
sides the breeze at the time the fire
started was from the northeast and
would have ordinarily blown the
sparkle in the opposite direction.

Merely a Superstition
That's All.

Our aoIe contemporary, the Tampa
Times. continues to assert its beltef In
.the universally accepted idea that
heavy and protracted cannonadlng
produced copious rainfall"
our contemporary goes on to say:
LAS far back as there is any record
great battles have been either accom-
panied or immediately followed by
heavy railfalls''
The Journal would not OF course as
sumo the position Of disputing this
positive assertion on the part of its
always interesting contemporary, but
it cannot resist the temptation to ask
for a little authoritative data on the
subject
win not the Times please cite US
70 specific records in the case? What
recorded facts are there to show that
more rain falls in a given locality dur
ing or after battle than falls at any
other time in the same locality? Were
the ratnfalls in the south during the
civil war any heavier than they were
before or nave DSen Si1CC' " e'S |HO
battle of Santiago accompanied or
Immediately followed by heavy rain
faIIs?" Ditto Manila? Is the rainfall
IN France today any heavier than the
average rainfall there? Was the battle
Of Waterloo accompanied or immedi-
ately followed by heavy rainfalls ?"
Isn't Il a fact that Waterloo was pre-
ceeded. not followed. by rain?
The fact is that rain comes from
natural, not artificial, causes. 1t may
rain heavily either during or after q
battle. It may not rain at all, The old
approximation about heavy rainfalls
after Battle is merely a superstitu-
ton: that's all. It is on par with the
old practice of looking at the new
moon over your right shoulder for
good luck, or Of rubbing a bacon rind
on wart and then throwing the rind
over your left shoulder to get rid of
the wart. When It does happen to rain
after a battle, when good fortune does
follow your lucky look at the moon, or
when the wart does disappear after
the bacon rind treatment. the super
stitution Is of course noticed. verified,
and proven. When none of these things
follow. you forget all about it.
The Journal thought its Tampa con-
temporary had progressed beyond the
age Of miracles.

SCIENCE HITS THE
COFFEE DRINKERS
Familiar Table Beverage Unmasked
and Its Evil Effect on the HUI
man Body Shown.

An astonishing list Of Ills due to COZ
fee drinking is pointed out by DR..
Otto Juettner of the Cincinnati Poly
clinic, in a, communication to the New
York Medical Times. "The synp-
toms produced by excessive indul-
gence in coffee can be observed in the
arrested physical and mental develop
ment of children, their paIlor, emacia-
excited condition of women who are
topper is to the whiskey bottle, and
no less a helpless and pitiab1e vic
tim than he; in professional men and
students who whip up their mental
faculties by coffee; in the aged, whose
tremor' and itch are not infrequently
due to excessive indulgence in coffee.
Coffee poisoning in it's chronic form
may be the cause of tremor, Of ring
ing in the ears; of acrid quotations,
of severe continuous headaches, creep
ing, pricking sensations in the skin;
sensations of heat and cold, hystericaI
attacks, troubles of vision, dizziness,
insomnia, all kinds of digestive dis
turbances. Coffee depresses the kid
ney functions and skin symptoms are
probably due to Irritation from re-
tanned waste.
Patients who cannot get along
without tea or coffee, but feel un-
comfortable and even sick when de-
prfved of these stimulants, are to all
intents and purposes, drug fends. and
should be classified with habitues Of
tobacco, alcohol, opium and other
toxic agents"

SHOULD DO SOME PAVING.

We are advised the city council has
been travelling around the state in or
der to study conditions in other cities
similar to Denison in size and prosper
ity, the alleged purpose being to
study the working of municipal
plants in the towns visited by the
council. They report that where the
experiment of operating electric light
plants by cities has been tried as a
rule it has proved satisfactory, but
the city council had their eyes opened
on other questions. and among them
they discovered that other cities in
comparison with Denison are surpass-
ing us in the way of public improve
ments. They find that other places,
like Carroll, Eagle Grove, Webster
City and Algona, have outstripped us
in providing electroliers and in paw
ing the streets. 1t is said that Carroll
will add extensively this year tc the
paving which has already been done.
Webster City has quite large section
of the city paved and the same is true
of Algona, a city of less Importance
than Denison. We sincerely hope the
visit of the council will result in de-
.veloping a purpose to take steps to-
ward paving portion of our city dur
ing the coming summer. We do not
insist upon paving large section OF
the city, but enough to demonstrate
the advantages of paving instead of
wasting money by purchasing oil to
put on the streets. We had better put
something of more substantial ma
ture on them and derive permanent
benefit from the investment.
The streets in the business portion
of the city should be paved their full
width, while in the residence portion
of the town strip of say twenty-five
feet in the center would be sufficient
and with parkings on the side. This
would make the cost of the paving for
the residence section of the city but
nominal and the benefits would be so
evident that every one would rejoice
in the fact that the movement had
been undertaken.
If the proposition of taking over the
electric light plant is carried, then let
everybody work to make the opera
ton of the plant success and let the
same feeling of harmony and good will
prevail toward other improvements
in the city, and with a feeling of unan-
unity such as should prevail in Deni.
son, in a few years time we will not
suffer in comparison with other cities
of our size in the state. We have the
capital and the business here to war.
rant our going ahead with the i'm
provements that should be made to
keep us in line. with the best cities
in the state, and the question is, can
we afford to ignore the call Of duty?

postmaster general, and that nothing
would prevent it's passing the two
houses of congress. On President
Wilson's return from the south, when
his attention was called to the matter,
he expressed himself most emphati-
cally against it, saying in substance
that eff such a measure should pass
the house and senate he would con-
slider it his duty to veto it,
We are pleased to see the president
take this stand upon the merit system
and to throw his influence against the
political movement which threatens
the good of the public service. Presi-
dent Wilson, no doubt, will gain many
friends by taking this position and
those who expected to profit by the
political movement will find them
selves disappointed.
