Fire Commission Bulletin
On July Fourth 1909 the loss by
fire directly traceable to fire works
amounted to 20000 If every pro
perty owner and every parent could
upoa the general pblic facts that will
tenfi to awaken me womjn cni
cli Iren to tio importance of
poncly from loss through
fl j In anticipation therefore of
Nebraska of July Fourth the Ne
braska Fire Commission respectful
ly submits to the people of this state
these suggestions
First In the effort to preserve
life and protect property the place
for the authorities to begin is with
the sellers of the more dangerous var
iety of fire works may be enforced
more readily than orders seeking to
regulate or prohibit their use after
they have been sold Strict supervi
sion by authorities over places where
fire works are being disposed of and
notice to dealers that the law will be
enforced to the letter will reduce the
fire loss to the minimum
Second Small children should not
be permitted by their parents or
guardians to handle fire works or
matches j j
Third All persons using matches
punk or lighted fire crackers should
be careful to see that these do not
contain fire and when they are
thrown away they should not be
thrown in the vicinity of inflammable
material
Fourth Where fire works are ex
ploded in the evening particular care
should be taken that the place from
which they are discharged is clear of
any debris or inflammable material
and that the locality in which the
sparks or lights are likely to fall is
tree from buildings that might be de
stroyed
Fifth The toy balloon is most
dangerous so far as property is con
cerned If this cannot be abolished

warning as to the protection ofFrom the standpoint of beauty how
property from July Fourth loss the ever It has come in for much adverse
loss of 1910 would undergo noticeable criticism

altogether it should not be permitted
to be sent up after the general public
has retired for the night
Sixth All cellar ways fence cor
ners and places where waste paper o
old accumulates should be given a
cleaning up before July Fourth
Where it is impossible to clean up en
tirely the premises should be given
a thorough drenching so there will be
no danger of any lighted article care
lessly thrown starting a blaze
Seventh The mayors of several
j cities have already commenced a sys
tematic campaign looking to the
prevention of fire loss 01 July
Fourth Their good example ought to
be followed by the authorities of ev
ery city and village in the state
Prompt action should be taken by
these authorities and they should vig
orously push their efforts to enforce
the common sense rule that property
and lives must be protected during
our Fourth of July celebration
There are probably weak spots and
fire boxes in the vicinity of many
buildings in every city and village in
the state From this date until July
Fourth the Nebraska cry should be

BROWNS PARTNER
The All Around Genius That Would
Just Fill the Bill
The following Is quoted from the
American Magazine and is signed by
H Lee
Heres the whole thing In a nut
shell said Brown to me I am now
twenty eight years old have my own
business and have brought It to sucb a
state that I have decided to take a
partner
Take one answered I
Theres the rub l gave back
My partner nniM lie uch au all
around knowing one 1u1i Im afraid
Ill have hard woik w till the posi
tion
My partner must be able to make
laws and to enforce them must be
able to carry out complicated chemical
work must be a skilled mechanic must
know something of economics must be
able to buy wares of all kinds with
due consideration of my finances and
must be able to do tailoring of a kind
if uecessary
Hold on Brown said 1 Are you
dippy as the vulgarians sayV
No replied lie I want a wife
Look around among your friends and
see if any one man among them could
do all that a good housewife should be
able to do She must make just laws
for the family and enforce them She
must understand the complicated proc
esses of cooking Making mending
washing ironing and otherwise car
ing for the clothing of a family re
quire mechanical skill Bringing up a
child properly requires far more
knowledge and wisdom than selling
dry goods of standard makes and
prices year after year Where are more
science and skill required than in the
sickroom And if the wife does not
know how to do all of these things
how can she direct the work of her
paid help especially if the help knows
less than she does
My dear boy said I do the way
90 per cent of us do marry and trust

SAVAGE ATHLETICS
Canary Islanders Who Would Have
Made Good Ball Players
In this age of athletics one might
think that no people ever showed so
much interest in feats of muscular
might and skill as those who have per
fected football but modem games
and even the games of the Greeks at
Olympia may have been more than
matched by the sports of peoples now
held in light esteem We have the ac
counts of excellent authorities for the
contention that the athletic training of
Canary islanders makes even the col
lege giants of today seem weak and
effeminate
These islands came into subjection
to Spain about the time Columbus dis
covered America The conquest was
due solely to the superiority of Euro
pean weapons and not to better skill
and prowess Native soldiers were
trained athletes developed under a sys
tem that held athletic sports to be an
important business like military drill
Spanish chronicles have left accounts
of sports of the islanders From bahv
hood they were trained to be brKk in
self defense As soon as they could
toddle the children were pelted with
mud balls that they might learn how
to protect themselves When they were
boys stones and wooden darts were
substituted for bits of clay
In this rough school they acquired
the rudiments of warfare which en
abled them during their wars to catch
in their hands the arrows shot from
their enemies crossbows
After the conquest of the Canaries a
native of the islands was seen at Se
ville who for a silver piece let a man
throw at him as many stones as he
pleased from a distance of eight paces
Without moving his left foot he avoid
ed every stone
Another native used to defy any one
to hurl an orange at him with so great
rapidity that he could not catch it
Three men tried this each with a dozen
oranges and the islander caught every
orange As a further test he hit his
antagonists with each of the oranges
St Louis Republic
Stopping Hiccough
Hiccough is a distressing and some
times a dangerous complaint Many
times a swallow of water will stop it
If simple measures fail the following
has been found very efficacious The
nerves that produce hiccough are near
the surface of the neck They may be
reached and compressed by placing
two fingers right in the center of the
top of the breastbone between the two
cords that run up either side of the
neck and pressing inward downward
and outward A few minutes pressure
of this kind will stop the most obsti
nate hiccough Dr Charles S Moody

A Gentleman and Boots
The Gi st gentleman in Europe got
the very worst definition of a gentle
man from his valet when driving down

arguing about the gentleman and final
ly turned to his valet And the valet

did not clean his own boots It was a
flunkys reply One likes better the

Most Popular Pastime Abroad Is the

The roller skating eraze has tnken a

sport on roller skates They arrange
gymkhanas at which the agility of the

kinds of games are played on skates
one of the most ppti2ir being the hoop
game
Every player has a long stick and
