MAKING IT PLAIN

The Pure Food and Drug Laws aim
10 protect the public BY preventing
measurements on the labels Of prepa-
rafions but some people continue to
accept ssextractss Of cod ifgers think
ing they win get the benefits Of an
emulsion of cod liver OIL
The difference Is very great. An
s.emulsionn contains real od Euer OF,
which has had the hearty endorse
ment Of the medical profession for
many years, while an sextract" Is .
product which contains no OF and Is
highly alcoholic.
SCOTS Emulsion guarantees the high.
est grade of real Norwegian cod Iigy Oh,
sl<ilfully blended with gfycerine and
hypophosphites. SCOTS Is free from the
false stimulation of alcohol and Is en-
dorsed by good physicians everywhere.

the scene and the Only damage was
from smoke.
The driver of the fire team desires
to call attention to the disregard
the public have for the apparatus
Tor the movements of the fire depart
ment during fire. Yesterday
one man drove his team directly ov-
err the hose as it lay on the ground.
At nearly every fire, either an a;ito
or a team has driven owes the hose
as it lay on the ground. The driver
wishes it known that the nexta Of
fender will be arrested at~once for
lsuch conduct. People also crowdina
up around the workers hinders the!r
efforts in extinguishing blazes at al
most every fire and this must be
stopped. The fire hose costs 81 per

the hose is cracked or broken.

years to give the best he has to the
city and community in which he
lives, as well as to the nation OF
which he is part. 1t seeks to de-
velop him by observation and it tries
| to teach him chivalry and unselfish-
ness, duty, charity and loyalty, so
that no matter what may happen in
| the business or social or national
life, he may always be true gentle
man, seeking to give sympathy, help,
encouragement and good cheer to
those about him. 1t teaches him
life saving in order that he may be
able to relieve others Of suffering;
| it teaches him endurance in order
that he may guard his health by be-
ling temperate; eating pure food and
keeping himself clean. 1t teaches
him patriotism by telling him about
the country he lives in, her history,
her army and her navy, in order that
he may become good citizen and

The Greatest American,

The spirit Of the greatest Ameri.
can who ever lived, Abraham Lin.
coin, is just as strong today in the
hearts of the American people as ii
was fifty years ago and will be as
strong fifty years from today
There is no death for strong, brave
spirit like Abraham Lincoln's, for
each year that goes by adds strength
and sweetness to the memory of his
ideals and his lofty purposes. One
of the finest of his utterances is
voiced in the following words:
Il do the very best | know how
and the very best l can, and I mean
to keep doing so until the end. If
the end brings me out all right what
is said against me won't amount to
If the end brings me out
wrong, ten angels swearing l was
right would make no difference"

TESTING THE CITY
WATER MIGRANTS
They are all Examined Twice a
Week in Cold Weather-some
More Frequently,

Twice week the men working
for the city test each hydrant to sec
if it is in working order and not
frozen up in case of fire.
Did you ever watch ore of the
men working with the hydrant and
see how he ascertains the actual
condition? He uses a sort of engin-
GERS stethoscope and listens. He
has also long chain with a metal
cylindrical object on the end of it
and let's this down into the hydrant
pipe to ascertain frost conditions be-
low the surface of the street
When he opens the hydrant up Il
little, he takes from his pocket a
common ordinary telephone receiver,
only in the place of the usual cord
there is short metal bar which is
placed against the metal of the hy-
drant. BY placing his ear to the re-
ceiver, he is able to hear the water
running, or is not able TO hear it,
if the llydrant is frozen. The little
continuance has been in use for
about two years in this city and is
an invaluable aid for quicl. work in
testing the hydrants. Where a hy-
drant is under suspicion" for frost,
there are more than two visits a
week until the evil is remedied and
things again in working order.
