The preventive firemai^ Is not so sp^
tacular ta fi^re as oW fashioned
firQ but he is more.useful to the
community. Just as science is giving
Itself to the tajtk of preventing sick
ness and plague so the ibain work of a
modem fire department should b«
removing the conditions that make
Sres prpba^^e. New Ywk and all other
progr«w!ve Ami&rlcan*^clties irlreaidy
have the protection that comes from
the preventive fireman whose daily in
spection reduces the ^re hazard
whopi«acbea the gospel preven
tion wherever he goes. As 90 per cent
of our fires are preventable, the field of
prevention is practically unlimited.—

thoroughfare, closely pursued by a
small man of haggard aspect, with^ a
thick stick in his hand. ,
On i ax^d on,' fel^tlesssly,. forlorn
man dogged the otter, and those who
passed him heard an occasional woi‘d
drop from his lips, indicative of
despair or awful terror.
Finally, some , of tte crowd turned

to miss the fun. The crowd grew
larger, and finally a bold man went
up to the person ^ haggard coun

“^Vhafs the matter?”
Tlie little man turned.
“Matterr he echoed. “See that man
with a bundle? He is my next-door
Neighbor, and in that bundle he has a
comet which he has bought for his

But the crowd Waited no longer. It
surged ahead and left him to work out
his own salvation, and when peace
had been-restored ilie remains of the
battered man and a battered cornet
lay ^iipon the pavement.

Lots of Sand.
Because of the diflSculty of getting
good sand for road work the California
highway commission has hit upon the
use at one point of what appears to be
an iDexhanstftile feource-—the bottom of
a river. Near San Luft Obispo a cable
way excavator takes sand from the bed
of the Salinas river and delivers it to
a screening plant, whence it is loaded
on cars. It is expected, says the En
gineering Record, that each winter the
pits made the previous season will be
filled by fi*eshets and the supply will
be nctver ending.

Danger $1^1
If the fire bell should ring woula you
niD and stop it or go and help, to put
o.ut the fire? It is much the same way
with a cough. A cough is a danger
signal as much as a fire bell. You
should no more try to suppress it than
to stop a fire bell when it is ringing,
but should cure the disease that causes
the coughing. This can nearly always
be done by taking Chamberlain's Cough
Bemody. Many have u^d it with tiie
most beneficial results- It is espediJly
valuable for the persistent cough that
so often f^ows a bad cold or an attack
of the grip. Mrs. Thomas Beeching,
Andrews, Ind., writes: -‘During toe
winter my husband takes cold easily
and coug^ and coughs. Chamberlain’s
Cough Bemedy is the best medicine for
breaking up Idiese attacks and you can
not get mm to take jan^ other.” Ob
tainable ev^where.
