GOOD TEST
Fire Departmeut Shows
Up Well
The Skagwty firedepartment showed
up to good advantage in the drill list
mghl. Two races were made to an
imaginary firs in the Perl building, at
the corner of State street and Fifth
avenue. In an almost incredibly short
Lime four streams of water were flood
ing the prem .sea at each test.
The victory in the races went to Com
panies No. 2 and No. 3. The last named
company made the best run in the first
race and got the first stream of water
on the building, but Company No. 2 got
two streams on it before the other got
on its last stream.
The seconu race was between Fire
Companies No. 1 and No 2. i'be latter
company got the first water on by a
very close nurgin, and distanced its
competitor in getting the second
stream od.
The hook and ladder truck was on
the ground in very quick order but
some difficulty was experienced in
operating it. It got tangled up with
electric light and telephone wires
The track is seldom used either in
practice or otherwise.
Taken altogether it was made evident
that a Are would have to get quite a
long start to do much d image In tfai
city.

Did you ever see any one trying to

It is every bit as foolish to try to get
rid of Dandruff and to prevent Bald

It. with Canthrarides. Vaseline. Glycer

the principal Ingredients of most so
called Hair Vigors.
