FIRE PREVENTION.
Recently Now York had a "flro pre

companies co-oporatcd to glvo demon
strations of tho various methods of
safeguarding property and particular
ly of avoiding fires by tho observances
of tho laws and tho oxerclso of caro
on tho part of thoso In chargo of prop
erty. This educational work should
bo continued without Interruption.
Every city should undortnko to teach
tho pcoplo tho truth that flro Is a
needless wnsto and If ovory ono Is
careful there Is no occasion whatever
for these visitations. In tho case of
wires and pipes causing tho Ignition
of woodwork, tho blame Is to bo
placed upon thoso who are rcsponslblo
for tho construction or tho main
tenance of tho building. It Is posstblo
now to protect all clcctrlo wires so
that thoy cannot causa the heating of
adjacent materials and nil forms of
heating npparatus can bo similarly
covered so that they aro Innocuous. By
keeping matches stored In tin boxes
and out of tho reach of children thoy
aro eliminated as a posslblo causo
for Are. Tho flro loss In any city
would bo materially reduced If ovory
porson wero careful In throwing away
a match after Igniting It or In casting
nsldo burning cigar or clgarotto
stumps, says tho Washington Star.

Tho Palestine exploration fund has

from Jerusalem, which was tho city of
tho trlbo of Judah and allottod to tho

Tho numbor of deaths among avia

All this occurred during the ar

steals gold right out of tho voln.
Tho alleged high graders wore nr

Without Overloading The Stomach.
Tho business man, especially, needs
food in the morning that will not over
load tho stomach, but glvo mental
vigor for tho day.
Much depends on tho start a man
gets each day, as to how he may ex
pect to accomplish tho work on hand.
He can't bo alert, with a heavy,
frled-mcat-and-potatoes breakfast re
quiring a lot of vital energy in di
gesting it.
A Calif, business man tried to find
soma food combination that would not
overload tho stomach In tho morning,
but that would produce energy.
Ho writes:
"For years I was unablo to find a
breakfast food that had nutrition
enough to sustain a business man with
out overloading his stomach, causing
Indigestion and kindred nilments.
"Being n very busy and also a very
