SUBSTITUTES DO WORK fCcnewal of Fight Against Members of Department Taking Jobs That fight Go to Laborers Is Seen in Action. Behind the refusal of five firemen at the fire station at Sixteenth and "Washington streets to assist in the BANQUET AT ENGINE-HOUSE NO. At reft Table. Commissioner Baker. Commissioner Blgelow, Mayor Albee. Ftre to It Urn, Commissioners Italy and Dleclt and Chief of Police Clark. At the of the Clean-up Squads "With Other uueats in the Backgroand. clean-up campaign by cleaning "I a"' unsightly lot next to the station-house, is seen the opening- gun of the old fight between labor unions and the fire bureau to prevent firemen from per forming labor, skilled or unskilled, out Bide their regular duties. The five firemen were suspended yesterday for three days for their behavior. The five are: George Ozier, John Jepson, Archie McMartin, J. A. H. Lyons and L. E. Dudrey. "When the clean-up campaign reached their dis trict yesterday, they were ordered to get busy on rubbish strewn about the lot next to the station east. The five men refused to obey. Captain Haines, in charge of the station, Immediately communicated with Fire Chief Dowell and the men were suspended forthwith. Substitutes were sent to take charge of their work at the station. Other firemen at the station cleaned up the lot. Klvc to Be Tried by Board. The five forthwith employed an at torney, W. S. U'Ren, who called Mayor Albee by telephone and requested him to reinstate the men at once on: the ground that they had a right to dis obey orders given them inasmuch as it was not in line with their duties. The Mayor'liad a conference yester day with Chief Dowell and the Board of Battalion Chiefs and the suspensions stood. The Board of Chiefs will try the men tomorrow morning for insub ordination. Mayor Albee has notified the Civil Service Board of the suspen-J sions. In marked contrast to the action of the five men at Sixteenth and Wash ington streets, was the co-operation of The men at Kngine House No, 21, at Second and uak streets. After assist ing thfi"irc bureau in the clean-up campaign, the members of No. 21 and the business men of that district gave . banquet in honor of Mayor Albee, the City Commissioners, and the captains of the clean-up squads last Tuesday. Wholesalers Furnish Supplies. The festive board was spread in the main room of the company's quarters, adjacent to the fire-fighting apparatus. Most of the supplies. -were furnished by the wholesalers of the neighborhood, but the firemen purchased a few of the delicacies and prepared the banquet. Among the speakers were; Mayor Albee, Commissioners Daly, Dieck. Bigelow and Baker, Chief of Police Clark, Fire Chief Dowell, and Assistant City Physician Ziegler. Mr. Albee cut the ornamental cake, marked F. P. B." in honor of the Fire Prevention Bureau. While no evidence has been pre sented in the case of the five at Six teenth and Washington streets to prove the point, it is the opinion in fire cir cles that the move on the part of the men is a result of labor union influ ences against the use of firemen for work about fire -stations which other wise would go to outside labor, in all probability union men. That the five firemen selected a poor occasion to bring this question to an issue, if such was the case, is the opinion of those interested in the case. The refusal came at a time when everybody else, includ- Mng school children all over the city. were hard at work on the general clean-up. Klcht "Wasted for Years. Th fight against firemen doing work outside of chores and fire-fighting has been waged in one form or another for years, but has been dormant for the last two or three years. The labor union people want the fire bureau to have union carpenters, plumbers, or others to do the work: Instead of let ting firemen do it. "' Fire officials say this would greatly Increase the cost of maintenance and repairs at fire stations and would in crease the burden of the taxpayers. It Is said that In the Fire Bureau are men qualified in all lines of skilled work and that they have plenty of time to do It and. are often glad of the chance. Inasmuch, as it helps while away the time. A lively session is expected tomorrow when the board of fire chiefs hears the cases of the five men.

"The childless home is the curse of American civilization, and wiiile wom en are the burden-bearers, giving their Hfe blood, brain, mental and physical energies to their children, they have their compensation in the joys of moth erhood.

Her husband is away much, of the time, and she must care for the home almost alone and look after the interest of the church while he is ab sent. "Bishop Asbury did not marry," said Bishop Hogue, "for he said he was ab sent 51 weeks every year, and he could not ask any woman j to share the hard ships of such a life. The minister's wife is entitled to universal sym pathy. She is expected by the church to be perfect. She must be, clean, neat. and carry a religious load on her shoul ders. No wonder many break early in life under the burden. She must be a helpmeet, an assistant pastor. She must take care of her husband, cook good meals and keept the house in order. Good Cook. Needed. "She must be a good cook. I have educated my daughters, but if they could not prepare a meal fit for the Kaiser I would say their education was a failure. If I had to live on sour dough or baker's bread all my life I should fall from grace very soon. She must keep her husband neat and clean The ministers wife can make or break his career. It is well said that the man marries a heaven or a hell. The minister's wife who is untidy, is a slattern, and keeps an untidy and slattern home, with dirty children, will destroy his career. Beware of. dirt, debt and the devil." R. H.

Ordinary medicines and medicinal treatments are useless in such cases, for they leave the source of the trou ble, the acid in the stomach, as dan gerous as ever. The acid must be neu tralized, and Its formation prevented, and the best thing for this purpose is a teaspoonful of blsurated magnesia., a simple antacid, taken in a little warm or cold water after eating, which not only neutralizes the acid, but also pre vents the fermentation from which acid Is developed. Foods which ordinarily cause distress may be eaten with im punity If the meal is followed with a little blsurated magnesia, which can be obtained from any druggist, and fahould al waj s be kept handy.
