look In insurance companies
for they only restore a part >l
the IONS incurred. Tlie\ do
not put us on our feet again
ami give us back the trade w*
have built up, w hen our store
are burned; but our trade tins
to go elsewhere ami hence our
business has to go to the wal .
We need in the first place an
organized lire company, com
posed of young men. This
will cost us nothing, lor the
very best young men would
willingly join the company, we
dare say.
This would mean tlia these
„ young men, being organizeV,
would be on the spot where
the (ire happened to be. This
would mean in many cases thai
a great percentage of our tires,
would be extinguished bet'on
they got any headway
Of course we wouM h iv* to
have a lew buckuls ami lad
ders. We are sure the mer
chants would supply us with
these and thoy must he kept in
a place where any one of the
members ot the comp n> co.ilil
get them —.
Moreover we must have a
Hand Chemical Fire Engine.
There is a picture of one in the

Let us unite young men on

Healthy llotlirs
Mothers should be in bodily
health. Thev owe it to their child
ren. Yet it is 110 unusual sight to
see a mother, with liabe in arms,
coughing violently and exhibiting
all the symptoms of a consumptive
tendency. And why should this
dangerous condition exist, danger*
ous alike to mother and child,when
Dr. Boschee's German Syrup would
put a stop to it at once ? No
mother should be without this old
and tried remedy in the house—
for its timely use will promptly
cure any lung, throat or bronchial
trouble in herself or hei children.
The worst congh or cold can l>e
speedily cured by German Syrup;
so can hoarseness and congestion of
the bronchial tubes. It unices ex

relief and refreshing rest to the
cough racked consumptive. New
