A rau throat
inUites infection

THERE is always danger that
- sore throat may have grave con-
sequences. To get nd of ito avoid
the serious troubles to which it may
give rise-give it antiseptic treat
ment at once and make that treat
ment continuous.
Gargles, sprays, swabs fail because
ordinarily you cannot use them
throughout the day.
Doctors endorse Forrnamint be-
cause it is the only throat antiseptic
of proved germicidal power with
which you can keep up your fight
against germs all day-Wherever you
happen to be.
To treat sore throat, take one of
the pleasant tasting tablets every
hour or so. To avoid Infection. take
one about overy two hours whenever
you are tak.used to disease, dust or
chill.

FIRE ENGINE TEST
/ PLANNED IN SOUTH
Columbia, S. c., Chief Asks
I. Details of Contest for
| Star Cup Here.

The firemen of Columbia, S. c., are
anxious ito try and equal the six
second record made by No. 81 Engine
Company of the District Fire Depart
ment, in leaving it's quarters on
alarm, and Fire Chief George S. Wat
son has been requested to furnish the
Southern city with full Information
as to conditions under which the rec
ord was attained.
In a letter to Chief Watson, A. McC.
Marsh, chief of the Columbia depart
ment, said his men had read of the
Washington company's achievement
in a North Carolina newspaper. The
story Of the achievement was sent
throughout the United States by the
Associated Press, and the Washing
ton department has received congratu-
lations from many cities as a result.
Text of Marsh's Letter.
Mr.. Marsh's letter follows:
Il noticed in the paper the other
dav that one Of your companies made
n record by getting out OF the house
in six seconds. Will you be so kind
as 10 send me full information as TO
the rules YOU employed when you held

Il take for Box IS to show up on your
indicator? How far back was the
machine from the crossing line? Was
the driver allowed to crank up his ma
chine and roll towards the door be-
fore the box finished striking? What
distance were the men from the ma
chine when the alarm was sounded?
My men are very ANXIOUS TO Try
and equal your record, and we want
10 try under the same conditions that
your men made 1t in
Full Details Given.
Chief Watson has replied, giving
Mr.. Marsh full details of the test
here, which was run with The star
cup as the trophy at stake. Answer
ing the questions asked, the Columbia
chief has been told that it takes about
four seconds for the box number to
be completed, previous to which
neither the apparatus nor the men
can do more than take their usual
positions.
Al the first stroke of the gong the
ennaratus may be cranked, but 1t can
not turn a wheel under any clrcum-
stances whatever until the signal has
been completed and the commander
OF the company has shouted: BOX
10. co.. The apparatus is placed IN
q position which puts it's rear step 80
feet from the outside line Of the door,
which it must cross to be considered
actually on its way to the fire.
The stop watches are started the
instant the gong begins to strike. and
the six seconds includes the full time
II requires the gong to complete it's
signal and for the engine to get past
the outer door line. The watches are
stopped when the rear step has passed
that line. Most utoft town fire de-
partrnents are under the impression
that the timing begins after the gong
has completed it's signal. That is
erroneous.

GERMAN COAL
TRADE BOOMS

Big Profits from Scab

BERLIN, Oct. 19-The German coal
industry is in the middle of a boom.
For the first time since the war rear
shortage prevails, so that the upper
Rhine reserves Of the coal trust,
hitherto held at Strasbourg and
Kehl, have been shipped south to Rot
terdam to satisfy the export demand
The freight rates on coal are also
going up.
Experts on the coal trade assert
that even complete cessation Of the
British coal miners strike now would
not deprive Germany OF all the advan-
tages gained during the past half
year during which German coal has
been sent in enormous quantities to
break the British strike.
The banks Of Germany are StfD

exists. But the extra charge on
overdrafts leads the banks to be very
lenient on this form OF credit.
