The practical question is

New Motor for Fire Department

The new motor truck ordered by
the city council few weeks ago ar
rived last week and is being fixed up
for use in taking fire fighting equip
ment TO fires, and also for the purpose
of getting TO fires in less time. The
motor was ordered without body so
that the city could have the body
made to suit the purpose for which it
is intended. Under the direction Of
Water and Street Commissioner Tolbert,
with suggestions from Fire Chief DAILY
and the help Of Mr.. Gowing Of the
water department the truck is being
built up to meet its use. 1t ought,
and doubtless will, prove most useful
in fighting fires. Up to this time, and
for the past few months, we have been
SO fortunate as not to have had use for the
machine, sfset that should give nc
cause for regrets. This town has had
too many fires in the past, which the

Salt Prevents Fatigue and Excessive Per-
SpiratiOn

Encouraging results from the ad-
ministration of common salt as a rem
edy against excessive perspiration in
the case OF marching troops are re-
ported by marine corps officials at
Santiago, Santo Domingo.
Sweat contains about six parts Of salt
in the thousand. A tropical days
march results in the exudation of three
to four quarts Of sweat, with salt con-
tent of 200 to $50 grains.
For experimental purposes about
100 marines were given a teaspoonful
OF salt (about rs grain) in the morn
ing before beginning their days march.
After a tropical march Of nearly twenty
miles the marines thus dosed exhibited
much less fatigue than their comrades,
and their perspiration was but frac-
ton OF that Of the others.

fire insurance companies took conizance
of an raised the rates. In some
instances doubled them. The in
surance companies themselves are not
wholly blameless. II they would adopt
some rule under which over insurance
was made practically impossible we
believe the number OF fires would
automatically diminish. This deponent
is not the only man in Leavenworth
who believes that over-insurance is
responsible for some of our many fires.
That man is 'uncou' weak, and little
to be trusted" is as true today as when
the immortul Robert Burns penned
the lines.

COUNCIL REFUSES
TO SPLIT THE FINE
AxeI Johnson Presents Claim for $50 in
Gambling Case, Allowed $1.20
fine Amounted to $120

The city council met Tuesday eve
ming with Ersch, Kugelman, Miller,
Van Brocklin, Warner and Wunder
present and Mayor Hale presiding.
The first business Of the evening
was the auditing OF bills. Among
the bills was one from Axel Johnson,
who furnished the evidence that led
to the raid on Jap shack in the west
end of town, where Marshal Teshera
found evidence OF gambling. Eight
Japs were found and they were put un-
der bond to appear before Judge Gra-
ham the next morning. Failing TO ap
pear their bond was forfeited. This
amounted to $120. Johnson asked for
$50. After some discussion, during
which the temperature of the room and
some OF those present was raised to a
noticeable extent, council awarded
him 81. 20-just one percent OF the
fine. The vote on the motion to allow
this reward stood four to two. Ersch,
Miller, Warner and Wunder voting
yes; Kugelman and Van Brocklin, no.
Another bill brought on verbal ex-
change OF hot shot, but it was paid in
full as rendered. 1t seems Street Com
missioner Tolbert engaged M. A Gohl-
man to do some work on the streets
and in addition 10 his own team Dor
borrowed team belonging to Mayer
Hale. The draymen, according to the
councilman who brought the matter
up, objected to the employment of
Mr.. Goldman and the use Of the may
or's team, claiming that as they are
paying a licence fee OF fifteen dollars
per month they are entitled to any
teaming that is to be done. They
had never made any complaint before,
tho there have been occasions when
they could have done SO, and it led to a
discussion which resulted in resolu-
ton to strictly enforce the ordinance.
This means, among other things, that
the merchants delivery system will be
compelled TO pay fifteen dollars per
wear for each of their three wagons.
Two wears ago they were exempted
from the payment Oh rli0 49,
quest OF the draymen, on condition that
they would not do general package
delivery and express business. They
will now be privileged to do this after
payment of the fee.
The following bills were allowed and
ordered paid,

Col. Fox's many friends will rejoice
to learn that be is improving. For the
past two months he has not enjoyed
his accustomed health and last week
decided to go to the Emergency
hospital for treatment. His teeth, it
appears, in some way affected his
general health, and after having had
these which appear to be the cause OF
his trouble, removed, he thinks he is
on the way to complete recovery, a
desideratum in which all his friends
join with hearty good will.
