Necessities Cited
Installation of a battalion chief at
the house at Thirty Eighth and
Ruckle Sts., with remodelling of the
building and purchase of two squad
wagons and a 1,400-gallon pumper
were immediate necessities recon-
mended by O'Brien to retain the
high fire insurance rating OF the

Ernest l.. Kingston, president. and
board members warned their sue

rates for Indianapolis and advised
them how to combat their tactics.
"Try them out while they're new

The Last Resort.

After everything else has failed,
doctors send men into the outdoors
to get well. There is a tonic in the
fresh air, sunshine, and the play
work of the open that has never
been reduced to a liquid to heal the
body; there is a quality in the con-
temptation of mountain peaks and
valleys, sparkling lakes and dash
ing streams, colorful deserts and
rugged canyons, and a sedative in
the wading of streams after fish
and the climbing of mountains
after views and the stalking Of
game with gun or camera, that
never has been reduced to for
mula of words to heal the mind or
keep it healthy.
Everywhere in the outdoors you
meet men and women who have
crawled from the cities with lame
bodies or feverish minds, to take
the one tonic that will cure them
after all other agencies have failed.
In order to manufacture medicines
which are known as tonics men
have tried to bottle up something
of the outdoors, and in trying to
keep healthy minds scientists have
tried to gather formulas from the
sunsets. But, in the final reckon
ing, men must go to the source Of
all these things and drink from the
spring where it issues forth from
the ground.

Blaine Signs Drug Store Bill.

Wisconsin druggists can legally
have both Intoxicating and non-in-
toxicating beverages on their pre-
misses as a result of the action ia
ken by Gov. Blaine in signing the
Gettelman bill.
The measure was introduced by
Senator Bernard Gettelman, Mil
waukee, after the state supreme
court had ruled it to be violation
of the Severson law for druggist
to handle alcohol, whiskey and
other intoxicants and at the same
time dispense soft drinks. The Get
lehman bill was sponsored to
straighten out a situation that
threatened serious damage to the
drug store business.
Gov. Blaine has vetoed the Staab
bill which was aimed to curb chain
drug stores by requiring every
owner of a pharmacy to be a regis
tered pharmacist.

The Gold Rush.

Of all human stampedes, the
gold rush has always been held up
as the most spectacular. Accounts
of the way in which men scrambled
for gold in the West bear this out.
The slightest hint that gold has
been found in certain place has
more than once resulted in a tidal
wave of humanity directed toward
the spot which trod everything I'M
derfoot and rushed on under the
law of survival of the fttest.
Gold rushes are almost a thing
of the past in America. But there
is new kind of rush, taking its
place. The same lure of search in
the outdoors, this time for scenery
and fishing camping spots and new
wildernesses, has become rival of
the old gold rush. A million cars
are carrying stampeders after re-
creation and health. If you don't
believe it, drop a hint around a
tourist center that you caught a
five pound trout in a certain
stream, then visit the stream the
next day.
