FIREMEN ANSWER
II CALLS IN 1888
North Redwood Elevator Fire
Biggest Of Year; IL Calls
Within City Limits

Members of the Redwood Falls fire
department answered II fire calls in
1888 compared with 81 in 1882, accor-
ding to the yearly report made by JOS
eph M. Corbett, chief of the depart
ment. More complete information will
be available after January Is when
the annual meeting will be held.
Of the II calls, IL were to places
within Redwood Falls city limits,
three in the country and the other two
were in other towns, North Redwood
and Milroy. The highest number of
fires in any one year was in 1881
when 20 calls were answered.
The biggest fire and the one which
required the most work by the fire.
men, Mr.. Corbett stated, was May Is
when the North Redwood farmers ele-
vator burned. Firemen fought five
hours there. Several departments
fought four hours February 26 when
the Milroy block burned during a
severe cold spell.
Part of the credit for the decrease
in fires in recent years is attributed
to more care on the part of owners
and renters.
When the department organized
in 1895, 80 members volunteered to
protect the city from fire destruction
and F. w. Philbrick was elected chief.
Two companies were then used, one
in each ward and the men used hose
carts and water buckets and depended
upon the horses of nearby drayma1
to haul the cart to the fire.
No records of early fires were kept
until 1906. In that year only four calls
were answered.
Mr.. Corbett joined the department
in 1911 and became chief in 1915. Two
years later, the old fire rig was discar-
ded and the large Cadillac truck
which is still in use was purchased.
The ladder truck was added several
years later.
AS is the usual custom, firemen will
make their annual checkup of bust
ness places sometime this month, Mr..
Corbett said.

1888 JUST ANOTHER
YEAR TO ANDERSEN
Weatherman Found 1882 Far
More Eventful in His Field;
Predicts Cold

Although important politically and
economically, 1888 was just another
year, and rather drab one at that, to
weather observers.
Different from 1892, the hottest,
coolest and driest year in weather OBJ
serving history here, 1858 passed with
nothing much to enliven converse
lions.
N. B. Andersen, for Ga years gov
eminent recorder of weather, glanced
over the years record this week. Star
ting with severe cold spell held over
from the preceding December, jan
uary temperatures were cool through
the month but only twice, January IA
and IL, did the marker slip below zero
and then only to seven and three be-
low.
In February 13 days were recorded
below zero. February 8 was the cold
est day of the year, 80 degrees be-
low, and the following four days hit
q, %, ~, ana II below. A rise began
the last of February but was halted
in March when twice the thermometer
dropped again to zero. April brought
real signs Of spring when the temper
allure rose to 60 and continued its
climb next day to Is.
May struck 80 degree weather once
and lowered above the 80 mark
most of the month. June 16, los de-
grees struck the years warmest note
1,,k - o1al
the mark. During June, % days were
recorded above 80 degrees and of
them, nine days were over 100, July
and August, although warm, were not
so extremely hot.
It was November Is that Redwood
Falls received its first taste of zero
weather this fall. Not again until Dec
ember II was that mark touched when
the mercury dropped to five below.
Eleven below zero was recorded the
day before Christmas, three below
Christmas day, 20 below December rs,
10 below December 81, IL below Dec
ember % and ten below December 20.
Snow this year came later then last.
The first flakes fell here October %
while in 1892 the first fell October 8.
"Only 21.54 inches of moisture fell
during the year which is about sew
en- inches shy Of the amount we should
have" Mr.. Anderson said. His reason
for the shortage is the draining Of
Redwood county sloughs.
He predicts more snow and cold

not absorbed from the colon, with the
exception, perhaps, of a very few, such
as the colon bacillus and the pus
germs. The latter seem to have the
power to migrate anywhere through
the lympth spaces and canals.
II is the toxins developed through
the germ activity that are absorbed IN
such amount as to saturate the blood
quite fully with the debris that has re-
suited from the processes OF botn 1er-
mentation and putrefaction.
1t is not at all unlikely that every
germ inhabiting the colon is there for
the specific purpose of destroying some
type of either fermentation or putre-
faction. If so, We cannot think OF
these as adventurous germs, but as
set of necessary scavengers.
The tubercle bacillus and the amoeoa
seem to be present in the nature OF
accidents, but without doubt their very
presence there is made possible by the
character Of the colon contents
From putrefaction We find all sorts
of nitrogenous debris, toxins, chief OF
which is lndoxyl, or indican.
This indican saturates the fluids of
the body and is thrown off through
the kidneys, where We recognize 1t by

animal forms of concentrated protein
are decomposing in the colon. AL
toxins developed here are very de-
pressing and irritating. Diseases OF
many specific forms disappear after
this lazy organ is brought up to date
and kept there.
1t Is this saturation of the body with
the toxins Of all kinds liberated IN the
colon that gives us the condition we
call intestinal toxemia. And practi-
cally all of these toxins are developed
through the unnecessary lapse of time
occurring between the ingestion of
food and its final detection from the
body.
The average here is 72 hours, even
though the bowels are moving once
every day without assistance.
This means that one who is blessed
with one voluntary stool every day
and congratulates himself that he is
not one of the constipated army, is
merely kidding himself. He is 662a per
cent constipated.
Debris that passed today should have
passed the day before yesterday. This
means that this so-called average CO.
Ionic rate is 48 hours delinquent.
If the colon is brought up to date
by thoroughly emptying it every day
by means of the simple tepid or cool
2-Quart enema. this period of delin-
quency will have been done away with.
The 24-hour schedule will have be-
come established!
While this does not in itself cure
constipation, it does obviate all the
bad effects till such time as restored
general vitality speeds the colon up to
the normal.

Conquering Contract
BY p. HAL SIMS.

BILE. but because the only excuse for
groundwork for q club sacrifice.
Second. BY careful play South
can make four hearts. North, who
is almost sure at this point that
South holds q four-card heart suit,
hesitates to raise on only three
trumps, but he has no better bid to
make. He will pass three no trumps
thankfully, and hope that South
holds double stopper In the off suit.
Barnes realized. of course, that the
only hope Of setting the contract was
to set up his club suit. The only
question was which card should he
lead? An ordinary player would lay
down the fourth best club, or the
seventh best club, and pray that his
partner held the queen-small. Barnes,
however. led the king. He reasoned
that If South's holding was the ace
queen, or the ace-small, with the
queen-small in dummy, he was bound
to make his contract anyway. The
lead of the king. however, guarded
against a singleton queen in the
dummy. with the ten-small in part
ner's hand. or just q distribution as
actually occurred. The only way the
lead could give the declarer his con-
tract was to find the queen-smau of
clubs in partners hand and the ace
ten three times in the declarer's hand.

plex arrangements for perpetual SELF
breeding, even, as in the case of the
gentian, excluding any chance Of an
outside visit, by closing the flower up,
so thta few insects could enter it. The
blue OF a gentian, to be sure, lures an
occasional bee, but there is a similar
closed gentian, with greenish petals
Of all colors the least attractive to the
long-tongued insects.
The general theory is that outbreed-

healthier stock than inbreeding. This
IS true Of many animals and plants.
But it is certainly not true of all. No

they were to be pollinated.
The answer is that, so far as insects
are concerned. they probably are not
pollinated. Some observers have seen
an occasional bumblebee towering
over q bottle gentian, drawn there no
doubt by the bees love of blue flowers.
But If you force open the locked azure
chamber of the flower, oyu can see
what provision has been made for
fertilization. The pollen sacks are
united in a ring. and when ripe, they
simply shed their pollen right onto the
female stigma. So the closed gentian
is self-fertilized.
