FIRE FIGHTING
FACILITIES OF
CITYAREPOOR
, After attending the annual meeting
. of the il'acitic const association of fire
-hiif, held at Portland, Harry B. Hut
ton, chief of the Salein fire department,
comes home with the feeling that tia
Jem is fur behind cities of the north-
w et,' many half the size of Salem, 'in
fire department equipment.1
"What fire equipment Salem has, is
it lie best that can be had,' none better
anywhere," said Chief Hutton. "But
from talks with chiefs of dozens of
tuHeg in the northwest, I soon discov
ered that from the point of equipment,
fciulem is not to be compared with many
. smaller cities , of the Pacific coast and
, I'anada." , '. , ...-.. - .,.
In the general discussions of fire
chief, it was nhown that the avorago
small city is providing its fire depart
ment with what is known as service
itruoke, of which Salem has none. This
is a special truck with ladders oy
which a height of 05 feet can easily
ile reached. The fialem fire department
. lias no ladder equipment that would
enable it to reach higher than 25 feet.
.In fact, with its present ladders, the
department would not be nblo to reach
Ike second story of the 'average house
or to reuch to the roof by ladders,
hief Hutton said.
Another improvement in fire depart
ments being adopted is that of the two
'' platoon ir.it em. This means enough
firemen for two shifts, with the day
men working 10 hours and the night
shift H hours. With the present one
, fcliil t system, 'hief ' Hutton says the
men are obliged to stay on the jog 24
hours out of 24, living, rating and
sleeping at the firo department. ThiB
gives a fireman ' only one day in the
week to get acquainted with his family,
stul due to the taut, many men well
qualified for fire department service,
uo into other occupations. The two pla-
toon system, now being adopted in. the
northwest, places the firemap on a ba
sis with other occupations.
Another improvement that Chief Hut
ton found reported from almost all
. towns in the northwest was that of
adequate five alarm boxes. Salem has
none. Towns of even 50UU are install
ing the fire alarm box system, he said.
iW.itli the present system of culling fire
alarms fry telephones, there Is great
danger of giving a wrong address and
sending the fire department out into
another part of the city, distant from
the five.
It was a few yenrs ago that a wo
man telephoned the dupnrtment that
Iter 'house was on fire, and then hung
dp the telephone without giving addi
tional Information, Chief Hutton be
lieves that suck nu alnrm is likely to
Ibe received ,any time. Even with tele
phono numbers coming in, there is of
ten a, mistuko as to location, causing
. delay mill subsequent loss. It is thought
that the installation of even 25 alarm
.boites would do nmeli to protect the
eitv.
' The Sulem fire department, while its
"present equipment is the best that can
Hie had, is still short on general equip
ment and csuecinllv a second pumper.
iWhen a fire alnrni eomes in from any
distant part of the town, if it Is not
a gras or chimney fire, fully two
thirds of the entire- department re
sponds to the call. This leaves the bus
iness section of the city unprotected,
excepting what could be done by the
one chemical.
Chief Hutton believe that for the
enfety of the eity. under such circum
stances, the depart nuMit should have
another pumper as the piosuio from
livilrnnts cannot be depended upon.
There is supposed to be at all times a
TOHKtire of 75 pounds from the hydrants
Tlii morning at ! o'clock, the gunge
at the fire department showed a pres
sure of 25 pouuds.
Ohief Hutton believes it would al
ways be a fine investment for the city
council to send its fire chief to these
Annual meetings as more points are
brought out for discussion und a fire
chief can lenrn more in a few days than
he can in a year of netunl service.
Although Kliief Hutton offered to
Iny his own expenses to attend the late
Jiro chief's association nt Portland,
the city council, on motion of Gorald
iVolU, went him one better, appropri
ated money to cover all expenses, on

Doctor Tells How to Detect
Harmful Effects of Tobacco

New York. Dr. Connor, former, r
Johns Hopkins hospital, suyi: Hundreds
or thousands of men who smoke and
chow and who believe themselves
healthy are suffering from progressive
organic ailments. They would never
nave been afflicted had it not been for
.tho use of tobacco mid most of them
would soon get well if they would only
stop the use of tobacco.
The best known habit forming prin
cipal of . tobacco is nicotine, buj, the
most deadly and demoralizing js fur-
rural,. Moth are deadly poison, wuich,
tvhea absorbed by the svstem siowi,.
but surely, affect tho noi ves, mem
branes, tissues, vital organs and vitality
of the body.
The harmful effect of tobacco varies
nnd depends on circumstances and the
individual. In some it causes geueral
debility, other catarrh of the throat. In
digestion, constipation, extreme nervous :
liens, sleeplessness, loss of memory, lack
of will power, cowardice and fear, men-
tnl contusion, etc; in others it causes
heart disease, bronchial troubles, hard
ening of the arteries, palpitation of the
heart, tuberculous, blindness, encer
and the common uffliction known as to
bacco heart.
If you uso tobacco in any form you
easily teteet its harmful effects by mak
ing the following simple tests: Read
aloud a full page from a book. If your
voice becomes muffled, bourse and In
distinct and you must frcqucntij vicar
your throat the chances arc thai your
throat is affected by catarrh and it may
be the beginning of very seriouu ca
tarrhal trouble. Next, in the morning,
before taking your usual stnokc, walk
up three flights of stairs at &? regular
I pace, then stop.' If you find that you
are out or breath, if your heart beat Is
forced, trembling or irregular, yon may
be the victim of a functional or organic
heart trouble. If you feel that you must
smoke or chow to quiet your nerves,
you arc a slave to the tobacco habit and
are slowly poisoning yourself with the
insidious deadly drugs, nicotine and fur
fural. In either case, you havi just two
nltriiativcs keep on with your self-
poisoning process regardless ot the dan
gers, and suffer the consequences, or
rid yourself of the habit and escape
the dangers;
You can overcome the craving and
stop tho tobacco habit in a very short
time by using the following inexpensive
formula. Go to any drug stoie and ask
for Nicotol. Take one tablet after each
meal and in a comparatively short time
you, will have no desire lor, louaew,.
The craving will have left you. With
the nicotine poisoning out of your sys
tern your general health will quickly improve.
Note: When asked about NicotOi, one
of our leading druggists said: Nicotol

bacco habit. It is way ahead of any
