Editor NebraskRR-HesperJan:
Believing that every person directly
or indirectly connected with the uni
versity should have knowledge of wmt
to do In case of the discovory of Are
in any of the university buildings, the
following description of the apparatus
at hand and suggestions as to their
use are offered.
The principal reliance for the con
trol of any incipient fire is placed n
hand chemical Are extinguishers,
twenty-two of which are now in the
various buildings, usually one In each
prncipal -allway. These extinguishers
contain wator having in solution a
quantity of common soda, and sul
phuric acid held in a bottle suspended
near the top c. the vessel. By simply
Inverting the extinguisher the acia is
allowed to uito with tho soda solution,
carbon di-oxido is formed and the mix
ture of water and gas is discharged
through the nozzle with sufficient force
to throw the stream for a distance of
40 feet. An atmosphero of carbon ill
oxide will not support combustion;
and any fire, whether of wood, oil, or
any other substance will yield to it.
The contents of one extinguisher will
discharge in about one minute. If
more than one is needed it is believed
that enough will bo at hand to use In
rotation, and no attempt at recharging
during a fire would be made. If after
generating tue gas, it is desired to hold
part of the charge .emporarily, it can
be done by closing the valve on the
hose connection. The can should not
be inverted until the location of tho
fire has been reached.
In addition to the chemical fire ex
tinguishers, University Hall, Nebraska
Hall and the Chemical Laboratory aro
equipped with fire hose, directly con
nected with the water mains, ana lo
cated in the main corridors of these
buildings. By simply taking down th'
hose and turning on the valve at tho
connection with the stand pipe, it is
ready for use. It is, however, advised
that the chemical extinguisners be
first resorted to, and uie management
of the fire hose left to the employers
of the building if possible. Injudicious
uscof water is liable to do viore dam
age than the fire.
'i?ln case of a fire alarm in any build
ing, heads of departments and their
assistants are urged .o at once taka
measures to protect department prop
erty, and give all assistance requirod
to the person in charge of controlling
the fire. The management of the
work.until the arrival of the city fire
department should be left to the exec
utive officers of the institution, in or
der of rank, or in their absence, to the
janitor of the building. The university
cadets will render most efficient aid
by keeping back the crowds of people
who are sure to get in the way of the
workers and in giving assistance in
the rescue of property. Cool heads and
good judgment are the prime requi
sites on such occasions. The manage
ment of the work must be made to It
the case in nand, and very few general
rules can be laid down.

HOW TO SAVE DOCTOR BILLS.
We have saved many doctor bills
since we began using Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy In our homo. Wo keep
a bottlo open all tho time and when
ever any of uiy family or myself begin
to catch cold we begin to use tho
Cough Remedy, and as a result wo
never have to send away for a doctor
and incur a largo doctor bill, for
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy never
fails to cure. It Is certainly a medi
cine of great merit and worth. D. S.
