Every in- dividual should consider himself a fire warden of the nation at this particular time and should equip him- ®elf to serve his country by safeguard- ing to the extent of his intelligence and ability every form of natural and created resource. The elimination of waste, at all times the duty of good ot ), is_at. this moment our lmdu:;t public and. private re- - In its warfare against the needless sacrifice of human lies and property by fire the association advicates the _following measures: - 1. The adoption by mi + of the standard building code of the National Board of Fire Underwriters +to the end that fire-resistive building construction may be encouraged, the use of inflammable roof coverings prohibited, adequate exit facilities from bufldings assured, and interiors ‘80 desighed and - fire-stopped as' to - WEAK AND TIRED WOMEN _ %ol How Vinol Made Her Strong.

The adoption of the associa- tion’s suggested - ordinance providing for the systematic inspection of all bulldings by city fire marshals or lacal fifemen to insure the vigorous enforcement of rulés for cleanliness, good housekeeping, and the mainten- ance of safe and unobstrucuted exits, fire-fighting apparatus and other pro-- tecfitlvs devices. .

A careful study of the tech- nical surveys of cities made by the engineers of the committee on fire prevention of the National Board of Fire Underwriters covering the items of water supplies, their adequacy and reliability, fire department efficiency, fire alarm systems and conflagration hazards: and of the possibility of co- operation among neighboring cities through mutual aid and the standar- dization of hose couplings. 8.

T \ mNOE FOR OFFICE SEEKERS Fourteen Officials Will Command \ Grant 'of. $5,000,000 * London, May 11.—An alluring prospect for office seekers is held out in the announcement that a new gov- ernment department with only four- teen officials has received a govern- ! ment grant of 1,000,000 pounds in a |lump sum, together with a promise yof @ yearly grant of at least 40,000 | pounds more. | © The new department bears the im- ' posing . title “Bureau for Assisting rScientific Research . into Industrial | Problems.” The fourteen officials will have a payroll of 7,350 pounds, and the rest of the spent in assisting associations and in- dividuals engaged -in research work oney ‘is to be- to carry their investigations te a suc- cessful _conclusion. The 1,000,000 pounds is’to last five years, and in- dustries ‘which are likely to benefit by the researches are expected to contribute' to the cost of the work. DEATH ENELL FOR INNS, Restrictions on Liquor Trade in Eng- land Hurts Hotel Business. London, May 1l.—Government restrictions on the liquor trade are likely to vresult in the' disappearance of hundreds of village inns and way- side “public houses’ this summer. These. houses have always relfed mainly for support on the casual passerby, especially . agricultural workers who used to pull up their teams, water the horses, and give themselves a rest and drink at the comfortable bar of the roadside inn. But nowadays the. restriction of hours of sale has made it impossible for the passerby to obtain anything stronger than ginger ale except at lunch+time and the agricultyral laborers are learning to pass the inns which have been used for generations as houses of call Some of the most picturesque way- side inns in England now take in only a few shillings weekly, and very few of them make enough to afford a living to the landiords, who have largely been forced to become farm- ers or to retire on their savings. VILLAGE FOR CONFERENCE. Paris, May 11.—The recent confer- ence in which David Lloyd George, Alexandre Ribot and Signor Boselli, the British, French and’ Italian pre- miers, participated took place in' a French town on a siding at a viliage in/French Savoy, near the Italian frontler. 4 London, May 11.—For the first time in history, one of the great Eng- lish religious socities has elected a woman president.

Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin Highly Recommiended as a Family Remedy.’ In children the slightest irregularity of the bowels has a tendency to dis- turb the entire digestive system, and unless promptly remedied invites deri- ous illness. The experienced mother knows that by training her children to | regularity in this respect, and when occasion arises administering a mild laxative, she will have little need for the doctor's services. i Mrs. Leo Weigand,! 3351 Central Ave., N. 8., Pittsburg, Pa., whose two boys, Frank and Joseph, are shown in the illustration, writes -that she has found Dr. Caldwell’'s S8yrup Pepsin a most _effective laxative, not only for the children but also for herself, and that she will always keep it in the house to use when needed.
