FIRE CHIEF SAYS
PREVENTION CAN
REDUCE LOSSES

Americas 5 fire loss in 1905
amounted to l65,000,000, Charles
Ferguson, fire chief, stated today in
commenting on plans for observance
of fire prevention week starting
| Monday and 10 years later the fig
ure was approximately the same. In
1925 the losses had more than
tripled to the total of S570,000,O0O.
Even more important, he stat
ed. "are the thousands of lives de-
stroved by fire each year. Every
community contributes share to
this tremendous waste. although
some have heavier losses than
others. Fl Centre has had numerous
destructive fires the past year and
with fire prevention activities big
reduction can be secured. =
Ferguson called attention to i'm
proper use of electric irons by many
housewives and said that although
manufacturers attempt to eliminate
the fire hazard, they have no means
of eliminating human earelessness.
Figures released by the National
Fire Protection association show
that improper use of electric irons
is the chief electrical fire hazard.
The fire loss from this source
amounted to s$10,0OO,000 last year,
Ferguson said.

TOO MUCH SALT

The salt cellar must be than the wine cellar,
when the latter is filled with bootleg goods Dr.
Jean Bouchon, eminent French surgeon knows what
he is talking about.
In magazine article DR.. Bouchon condemns salt AS
the worst of modern poisons. He declares that 1t
dries up and hardens muscular tissue, leads to liver
and kidney troubles, gastric ulcers and appendicitis
and has almost bad an effect intelligence as it has
physical health.
Some salt is necessary for human beings as it is for
many animals. But there is little question that mod
civilized and perhaps the American especially,
uses much salt From the action of this chemical
when used in the preservation of meat it might be eX-
pected to have such effects the living tissue
as the French scientist describes
Fortunately hygenc education in this country is al
ready doing much to stop the practice of deuging
erything with salt. Modern improvements in food
preserving methods too making it less necessary
for people take much salt into their systems as
they did when living largely salt meat and fish,
Physicians emphasizing the matter more and more
and having notable success with some diseases IN
prescribing an almost "salt-free" diet.
Any such change in diet habits seems at first Sc
rious prvaton. Most persons, however can adapt
themselves using say half much salt they have
been accustomed TO- They may find ample compensa-
ton, aside from impoved health in their more deli
cate appreciation of natural food flavors

THE WORLD SERIES

Today marks the opening of the real American
classic, the Worlds Series.
Although somewhat inappropriatey named, as it is
confined America and not to the world this series
is to the Yankee what the Olympic games to
ancient Greece, in the immortal Derby Day race is
the EngliShman.
During the progress of the series, the mind of the
average American is more concerned with balls,
strikes, home runs, pitchers umpire decisions and
possible victory for his favore team than it is with
the routine duties of business
The Worlds Series provides sort of annual
safety valve" for American enthusiasm.
While very small minority scott at the extremes
to which the baseball fans carry their enthusiasm the

get the returns and if the natives wondered the

PLOT OF POLITICIANS SEEN TO
DISCREDIT FARMERS MOVEMENT

with them, nevertheless he takes the
word of the assistant attorney gener-
al as being true.
The Farmers Council Of Action has
now taken up the work of investigat-
ing the whole attempt to injure the
farmers movement by trying oiframe
up the County Attorney and Sheriff.
In that way they think they can dis
credit the new secret farmers move
ment, which they fear and prevent its
spread in the state. The desperation
to which the old gang politicians are
driven is manifest from their insane
and illegal maneuvers. This attack
on a progressive county official elect
ed by the people is not new and will
meet with the same fate that similar
attempts have in the past.
Friends Of Attorney General Foote
here are sorry that his Office is being
used in the wrong direction in this
instance. Mr.. Foot has, up to the
present, shown himself an earnest
and painstal1ing official, and it is be-
lieved when he sees through the base
ness of the motives behind this at
