Bennett, Illinois state fire marshal. The answer is, the public pays, not< the insurance com­ panies, according to the bulletin. "First aid" advice for the home treat­ ment of serious and minor burns is included in the sheet of fire sugges­ tions. "Fire Insurance does not replace lost property," sajte the bulletin. "Food, clothing and shelter are produced only by human effort, hence labor ex­ pended in replacing waste is with­ drawn from legitimate production for • j.. the satisfaction of human needs,. The fire waste is not really paid for by the insurance companies. , "Fire insurance is added by manu- tyt,'v' facturerB and merchants to the cost IsWl » °f the goods, and whoever buys a loaf of bread, a hat, a coat or shoes pays it. The cost of the fire tax is con­ cealed in the price of the goods. Every fire is. paid for by all the people. Insurance is collected from all and paid to him who has a fire; hence the man who has a fire intentionally , Health Hint* for Hot WWfttUfI The unseasonably hot weather which now Is prevailing la all the portions of Illinois prompts the see- retary of the state board of health, Dr. C. St. Clair Drake, to issue some timely hints on how to keep cool and avoid the dangers of overheating. Dr. Drake points out that the ques­ tion of keeping cool and well in hot weather is almost wholly a question of proper foods and feeding, proper drinks and drinking, proper clothing, proper rest, body cleanliness, mental tranquillity and the avoidance of crowds and of places poorly ventilated. Advice more specifically get forth fol­ lows: ** V Avoid meats, butter and heavy ««rfat foods of all kinds. ' Eat soups, fruits, vegetables, ice >:cream and whatever you eat, take only one-hr^f as much as you ordinarily* consume in cold weather. Avoid beer, and all other alcoholic drinks--their firslj effect may be cool­ ing, but their secondary effect is dis­ tinctly heating. Drink liberally of water, buttermilk, weak tea and clean milk. Cool these drinks by standing on ice'; never put ice into them. Wear as few clothes as the law al­ lows; have them light and porous, clean and .unstarched. Wear loose clothing and change underwear daily. Avoid tight lacing and tight belt­ ing. Anything that retards circula­ tion of the blood is dangerous in hot weather. rrotect the head! and spine front "the sun. Take a bath every day--twice a day is better--give your pores a chance to breathe. At least take a bath just before going to bed. You will sleep better and awake more refreshed and better able to withstand to-morrow's heat. Body cleanliness is extremely important. Sleep in the open air if possible, and _get at least eight hours* rest every night. Avoid strenuous exercise under * hot sun. Don't fuss or cuss about the heat- that only makes you hotter. Turn the thermometer to the wall and give the cold shoulder to the hot weather fusser. Keep your temper under control and shun heated arguments. Even politics should be tabooed until "dog days" are passed. When the cars are not crowded, take a trolley ride into the country. As often as you can, get out in the open air, on the green grass, under the sheltering trees. DISAPPEARED ON CHANNEL FLIGHT PROBLEM FOR THE MAIDENS 111 Hot Weather Will Tftey Have t» to Costume 8o me what \ ;V<£' Resembling Eve's? . *' 1 •,'?<; . . Jerome S. McWade, the wealthy Du- luth connoisseur, said at a recent din­ ner: "I spent the filter on the Riviera. The winter fashions were really shocking--shocking, that is, to Corn- stock minds. Nothing shocks me. "But in the eveniijg, at the Nice County club dances, young girls would wear sleeveless gowns that left the back quite bare from the waist up. They could say truly--ha, ha, ha! --that they hadn't a stitch to their backs, eh? And In the afternoon at the dansants young girls would wear gowns that" were either slashed to the knee, or else that were--a still subtler device--transparent to the knee, permitting the slim and Bilken limb to gleam through a panel of laoe or tulle. "A western millionaire at the Ne- gresco, in Nice, on seeing his three daughters in gowns of this radical type, gave a loud laugh one day last winter and said: " 'By jingo, girls, what willyou leave, off when the hot weather comesT*-- New York Tribune. t lis** tk~ JQhmansDn'nl- W'UL I! ;j | . .... . . ̂ or unintentionally takes money from the pockets of his neighbors. Fire in- J surance is an assessment upon all to pay to one; hence every fire makes every man's struggle for a living harder by compelling him to spend for his neighbor's waste what he might otherwise spend for his own comfort." Urges Factory Law Instruction. Monthly meetings to familiarize state factory inspectors with provis­ ions of the state laws devolving on them for enforcement are being pro­ moted by Oscar F. Nelson, chief state factory inspector. The two laws to .which the greatest attention 1b being given are the so- called "health, safety and comfort" act and the "Wash house" law. The former measure proposes to eliminate all shafting, belts, pulleys, gears and other parts of machinery so arranged as to carry undue hazard with their operation. The "wash house" law compels man­ ufacturers to provide suitable and san­ itary washrooms for their workmen, including clothing lockers. Mr. Nelson ^.sserts that the results of the latter law have been more far- reaching probably than any law passed in Illinois in several years. "Instead of the workmen going to their homes with the grime of their day's work still on their hands and faces, they are taking advantage of the washrooms and appearing on the streets with a clean and attractive ap­ pearance," he saya "The law requires the washrooms to be heated in the winter months; also, to be provided w^ith warm and cold wa­ ter at all times. "Instead of the men preferring to go to their homes to find means of re- M moving the stain of their toil, they are taking advantage of these changed conditions. "The manufacturers are realizing also the silent appeal contained In this condition to their workmen- It is one of the things serving to make the em­ ployes contented and happy with their lot and adding much to the spirit of the worker*T. Brady Makes Many Changes. State Auditor James J. Brady an­ nounced several changes effective in his department June 1. Chief among them will be the elevation of John J. Burke &f Chicago to the position of chief clerk of the banking depart- ment, to succeed Frederick Porter of Chicago, who recently resigned. Burke until this time has been as­ sistant chief clerk. J. E. Armstrong of Carmi becomes assistant chief clerk, and &mong others O. E. Wilson ol l-aris, L. F. Henning of Mendota and P. C. McGrath of Jerseyvllle are all advanced. In connection with the appoint­ ments the auditor gave out the fol­ lowing interview:* "Mr. Frederick Porter recently re­ signed as chief clerk, of the banking ^ department. In the business worid, When like conditions prevail, it is cus­ tomary 'to advance trusted and com­ petent employes, and I shall therefore carry out this policy and, in the rec­ ognition of the merit of the employes under me. every man in my office will be advanced one position, including even the messenger. In this way I feel that I am building up a service to the state that is not excelled in any other line of service, public or private." To Represent State Abroad. Delegates were named Gfov.

SCALP ITCHED AND BURNED 833 South Scioto St, Circleville, Ohio.--"My little girl's trouble first started on her head in a bunch of lit­ tle pimples full of yellow-looking mat­ ter and they would spread in large places. In a short time they weuld open. Her scalp was awfully red and inflamed and the burning and itching were so intense that she would scratch and rub till it would leave ugly sores. The sores also appeared on her body, and her clothing Irritated them so that I had to put real soft cloth next to her body. She would lie awake1, of nights and was very worrisome. At times she was tortured with itching and burning. "I tried different remedies with no benefit for months. I had given up all hope of her ever getting rid of it, then I concluded to try Cutlcura Soap and, Ointment. The second application gave relief. In a short time she was entirely cured."
