Fire Protection In Sehools. Fire Chief Nicholson ' expects to make several recommendations to the Board of Education at its next meeting relative to fire drills and cafe guarding the pupils from the danger of fire In the schools of thla city. i In addition to regular fire drills, mention of which has already been made. Chief Nicholson will call the attention of the board to the poor lighting of the hallway on the second floor of the Washington avenue -school and recommend that It be remedied eltber by additional windows or artificial light, .while the school Is In ses sion. Chief Nicholson will also recommend that the fire alarm In the bigger build ings, such as the Washington avenue school, be given by a gong Instead of by a hand bell as at present. These gongs can either be manipulated by the Janitor or the chief of the fire department when ever he may wish to make a test of the efficiency of the fire drills. Chief Nicholson Is further planning to have "smudge" fire drills In the bigger The General Demand of tha Weli-Informt-d of tho World hat always been for a simple, pleasant and. efficient liquid laxative remedy of known ralue; a laxative which physicians could sanction for family use because its com ponent parts nro known to them to be wholesomo and tndy beneficial in effect, areeptablo to tho system and gentle, yet prompt, in action. In supplying that demand with its ex client combination of Syrup of Figs and Oixir of Senna, the California Fig Syrup Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies on the merits of the laxative for its remark lUe success. That is one of rnanr reasons why Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is given the preference by the Well-informed. To get its beneficial effects always buy the genuine manufactured by the Cali fornia Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sals by all leading druggil Fries Ifty cents per bcttl schools. That la to say, In order to make tha drills more realistic, some agency will be employed to fill the building with smoke, then the alarm gong will be sounded and a test made of the time In which the pupils can be marched from the building by their teachers.

Woodbury and D. W. Otis, a real estate and Insurance agent, and they have been notified to appear for examination today. Mr. Burns arrived in the city last evening.

The hearing on the appeal of Burns from the ruling of Judge Thornell In granting Doyle a new trial, it is understood, will be held before the supreme court this week.

POLK COUNTY FOR CUMMINS Difference Over Call Leads to Split in the Congressional Gathering'. MAY BE VICTORY FOB STANDPAT3 Flaht Between Tro rrlsonera In City Jail Reanlta la Death of One After Other Had Been Heleaaed and Disappeared. (From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINES, March ll.-(Ppeclal.)-The Polk county republican convention today by a vote of 186 to 18 endorsed William H. Taft for president with eighteen delegates to the convention not voting. By a vote of 101 to 63 It endorsed Governor Albert B. Cummins for senator and commended him to the state for that high office. Out of the work of today's convention there prob ably will be a contest from Polk county at the Seventh congressional district con vention which meets in this city Saturday with the possibility that the Seventh may select standpat delegates to the national convention. All was harmonious In the convention to day until the proposition of resolutions was reached. The committee reported reso lutions commending Roosevelt, endorsing Taft and Cummins, and recommending tar iff revision. James O. Berrynill, one of the most consplcious standpatters of the state, objected to the convention taking a vote on the resolutions aa a whole, because there were delegates present who wished to vote to endorse Roosevelt, but were for Hughes or other candidates as his successor and who wished to vote against endorse ment of Cummins for the senate. On tils request the resolutions were divided. - Claiming that the call for the county con vention did not include the selection of delegates to the congressional convention, the standpatters through Mose Cohen, chairman of the congressional central com mittee, called the delegates together by supervisorial districts this morning and selected delegates to the congressional con vention. Two of these districts are con trolled by the standpatters and they se lected standpat delegates. The progressives controlling the county convention Ignored this and selected progressive delegates to both the state and congressional conven tions. The point to this matter is that without a solid progressive delegation from Polk county the standpatters will control the Beventh district convention snd can thus select two standpatters as delegates to the national convention. .

SHENANDOAH One of the most en thusiastic town meetings that has been held In Shenandoah for a pood many years was the school caucus In the superior euuit room on Saturday evening last a.' 8 o'clock to select to candidates for members of the school board and one cundldale for school treasurer. A contrnt was developed with the following results: Nearly every woman would feel belter for a Cascaret every day. Women exercise less than men. That's why they need help most. A woman moved Into a new flat with a hath room, and she said to a visitor: "You don't know bow anxious I am for Saturday night. I want to take a bath." That's what soma of us do with our bowels. We get into ths habit of periodical cleansing. And we never realize bow much better It is to fWa a llttls help sverr day. That's ths reason for Caacarcts. To (five you a convenient Test-pocket laxative, ths action ef which ia as natural and s;entlo as th. action of laxative foods. They are not like the old-time physics castor oil, salts and cathartics. Ws took them only when we wet. forced to. We let matters run until the bowels were clogged, and we were misersbls. Todsy wa keep at our best. The way is to take one Cascaret just as soon as you know that yon need it. The results are as pleasant as the dose. Those who exercise enough, and est coarse food and plenty of fruit, don't need them. All others do need them. Cascarets do Just whst Nature does for thoss who live in a natural way. Cascarets are candy tablets. They ars sold by all drug-rista, but never in bulk. Be sure you get th. genuine, with CCC on .very tablet. The price is SO cents, 23 cents and TEN CENTS Electric blowers The direct oonnooted electric blowers is the finest piece of scientific and meohanical construction in tho line of blacksmiths' tools that has been placed on the market in recent years.
