FIRE ALARM BUG IS
AT WORK IN THIS CIIY
I
I'
■ - —
Department Makbs Many Useless Ruiih
■nd Ofl’kt rs Ixmk for Mun Who
Pull*. Ilie Box.
A' firk alarm "bug” Is at work In '
San Antonio. At least this belief is
shared in by many members of the l
fire department; also by operators in]
the fire aiarm office. During the I
month of January nine alarms ware)
responded to by tho fire department.!
where investigation showed a fire I.
alarm box had been broken and the i
alarm sounded without cause. Already .
this month half a dozen similar use- ।
less responses have been made by the
department and Indications are the
record will exceed that of January.
Every two or three nights recently
the department has been forced to ;
make runs to different parts of the I
city because of some misoJricvous per- I
son or persons turning in false alarms.!
Last ryght box No. 514. Dallas and I
Brooklyn avenue was broken open I
and an alarm sounded. As is the ease |
in othez; instances no trace of the per-1
son who sounded the alarm could be;
found.
Fire Chief Bishop is plain spoken
as regards what he will do when he
apprehends the person whom he be-
lieves responsible for more than one
alarm. The minimum fine for send-
ing in a false alarm of fire is $25.
Some persons perhaps young men it
is thought are making it a practice
to send in the bogus fire alarms "just
to see the department run.” That no
fireman has been hurt in one nf these
useless runs is regarded as remark-
able.
CURES “LITTLE ILLS” OF BABIES
It is well for the mother to encourage her children to accustom themselves
to regular habits in eating sleeping and the personal care of the body.
These lessons last through life. Not the least Important of the habits that
one should acquire early in life— and which rests entirely with the mother
in the earlier years—la regular bowel movement. The baby and the child
should be encouraged In thia and the habit will become a natural one. It
will be better off through life for the habit. Two to three calls a day are
not too many for tho baby and the child and the grown person should have
nt least one. Without that the minor indispositions of life are sure to result.
Watch the baby carefully and If It cries is peevish and Irritable give it a
small dose of a mild laxative and that Is something every mother should
always have In the house. No doubt many laxatives are recommended but
the one that seems to be in most popular favor with discriminating mothers
throughout America Is DIL CALDWELL’S SYRUP PEPSIN". It fills the re-
quirements of a baby's laxative better than any other remedy known. It Is a
liquid of pleasant taste mild In action and never gripes. A very little of it
is all that a baby needs and yet so effective is the action of this remedy
that grown-ups will find equally satisfactory results. Its use for a few days
In succession in the small dose that the directions call for will result In
good bowel health for a long time to come. It Is for that reason an Ideal
family remedy as It is suited to all ages and much to be preferred to salts
cathartics and such things which are not needed by children women and
old people. These require a mild laxative such as DR. CALDWELL'S SYRUP
PEPSIN.
Dr. Caldwell:
Your sample of Syrup Pepsin re-
oeived and as a testimonial of my es-
teem for this valuable remedy will say
that I bought a large bottle of this
wnoderful medicine and take It when-
ever I feel the symptoms of a disor-
dered stomach. May your Syrup Pepsin
find its way to all who need it.
Mrs. B. B. Rosser
1011 34th St. Galveston Texas.
Anyone wishing to make a trial of this remedy before buying It In tho
regular way of a druggist at fifty cents or one dollar a large bottle (family
size) can have a sample bottle sent to the home free of charge by simply
addressing Dr. W. B. Caldwell 405 Washington St. Monticello 111. Your
name and address on a postal card will do.

RULING ON LIQUOR
DEALER’S LICENSE
Saloonman Who Pays Taxes on Fix-
tures and Poll Tax Is Property
Taxpayer.
(SPECIAL TO THE LIGHT)
AUSTIN Tex. Feb. 16.—In a rul-
ing given today by the attorney gen-
eral's department through Assistant
Attorney General Mead to I. C. Baker
district attorney at San Antonio it Is
held that a retail liquor dealer or
saloonkeeper who owns and pays
taxes on his saloon fixtures in addi-
tion to his poll tax is a property tax-
payer and is entitled to a liquor
license under the Robertson-Fitzhugh
liquor law. After quoting the law on
the subject Mr. Mead advises:
“You are therefore advised that a
citizen who owned saloon fixtures or
any other property real or personal
situated in this state on the first dav
| of January and which is subject to
taxation under the constitution and
laws of this state if otherwise quali-
fied is eligible to receive a retail liquor
: dealers’ license.”
This ruling is the result of the re-
! cent opinion given to County Attor-
ney McCarty of San Angelo in which
It was held that an applicant for a
license who paid no taxes except a poll
I tax. was not eligible to receive a
liquor dealer's license. This somewhat
simplifies the situation for the liquor
। dealers.
How They Do It.
Wills—"The old pioneers were wonderful
1 1 fellows!"
Gillis—"Yes. Just think of men founding
eltles without an advertising agent or even
a slogan!"—Judge.

Dr. Caldwell:
Ons evening I took Syrup Pepsin
according to directions for indiges-
tion and constipation and to my
eurprise it was the beat and greatest
medicine I ever heard of. I used all
sample and on the fourth day I
went to the drug etore and bought u
50c bottle and my wife and children
are using it with the best results. I
would not be without it as long as
money will buy it.

Dr. Caldwell:
Concerning your sample it was all
right. It forced me to try a 60c bot-
tle and I have recommended It to
others and they have tried It and
found ft like I recommend it.

John Ross a Ranchman

Grand Opera Here
FRIEND OF PRIMA DONNA
When She Was “Down and
Out” Eleven Years Ago He
Befriended Singer
Whlla the Aborn opera ‘The Love
Talca of Hoffman" waa in progress
lust night at tho Grand another play
(not on the stage but far more touch-
ing than any drama ever seen before
the footlights was being enacted
though the audience knew It noL
If there waa a deeper note of emo-
tion In the voice of Edith Helena the
attractive prlma donna it was be-
cause John Roa* a ranchman of Ross-
ville after having driven thirty-five
miles in a buggy over perhaps the
roughest road in thia section of the
southwest to hear the voice of the
girl whom ho had befriended eleven
years ago sat in the audience un
doubtedly the happiest man In the
city. It was the same voice more cul-
tivated that he had heard years ago
mingling with the notes of tho larlu
on the prairies.
Helped Her In Distress.
Eleven years ago when as she ex-
pressed it. she was "down und out”
and stranded In Run Antonio Mr. Ross
took Edith Helena to his home an<
cared for her until she was ready to
go on the stage. The meeting last
night was touching. The girl who
fatherlew motherless almost penni-
less had left the ranch to seek her
fortune and chase phantom fame had
returned with a good share of both
aml sho had not forgotten the man
who had befriended her.
“He was both father and mother to
me" said the now well-known prlma
donna "and when the company was
booked for San Antonio 1 sent Mr.
Rom some tickets to the opera—and
he came. And when I called him
•lather 1 he appeared to be the happiest
man on earth.”
Sho told an interesting story of her
life on the ranch In the day when
with an outlook less roseate than that
which she now enjoys she learned to
"bust” bronchos and ride as swift as
the little mustang ponies could carry
her over the wind-swept ways of the
prairie.
Prophesied Her Success.
"When I left the ranch” she re-
flected. "and waved good-bye to Mr.
Ross. 1 called back to him: ‘When
I come to see you next time 1’11 be
riding in an automobile.’ The child-
ish boast came true—for it was only
a boast in those days when automo-
biles were almost as scarce as hen’s
teeth. When I returned to San An-
tonio last year I made good—I got an
automobile and went down to tne
Ross ranch. I wanted to stay there
but of course I couldn’t.”
She said this with a ghost of a sigh
and a far-away look in her eyes that
showed how she would enjoy the jife
of the open trail instead of the stuffy
dressing rooms with the greasy rouge
and the bothersome make-up that har-
row the lives of the stage.

GRAND.
Aborn Grand Opera.
This city has long been distinguish-
ed above most places of its size for
appreciation of music of the higher
class proof of which Is found in the
large attendance of the performance
of “The Tales of Hoffmann” last
night.
This excellent organization has
found great favor in all the larger
cities in which It has appeared for
engagements of one week or longer
in each place during the past ten
years and last season its experiment
of appearing in a few selected cities
for less than n week each proved suc-
cessful demonstrating the great
growth of interest in grand opera in
English all over the country. After
its present limited tour the Aborn
English Grand Opera company will
return for its annual engagement at
the Boston Opera house which is con-
sidered the finest building of its kind
in America while other Aborn com-
panies will be specially organized to
appear simultaneously in other fa-
mous temples of music In New York
Philadelphia Baltimore Washington
and Chicago.
“The Fortune Hunter.”
Few plays have come to San An-
tonio so wreathed in the smiles of
popular and critical approval as Win-
chell Smith’s delightful American
comedy. “The Fortune Hunter” with
Fred Niblo in the title role sup-
ported by a perfect company includ-
ing Miss Josephine Cohan which
Messrs. Cohan and Harris the pro-
ducers will bring to the Grand Opera
house Sunday and Monday nights
February 18 and 19.
Both in New York and Chicago
this fresh delightful comedy of Amer-
ican life made immediate captives of
press and public and its advent in this
city will undoubtedly prove one of the
most enjoyable events of the sea-
son.
The story of "The Fortune Hunter"
is a pleasant gale that holds a genu-
ine charm for every native American.
It .bears its own testimony that it
springs from the soil. Its sentiments
have a very decided affinity for the
sentiments of everyone whose memory
carries back to the little places that
cluster in the laps of brook-drained

where Interest In one another Is out of
focus shallow and impersonal. The
play does not seduce the feelings with
any heart-harrowing picture of mis-
fortune; no betrayed girl staggers
weeplngly through its four happy
acts; one never hoars in it the faint-
est echo of the gypsy’s warning; no
dark-eyed stranger is seen in pursuit
of startled innocence; no blank-
cartridged-rcvolver blasts villainy with
stage-death and shatters the nerves.
Its only hint of distress is turned to
pure comic use. It is as clean and
’ wholesome as the breath of the
! meadows.
The piece is capitally acted. The
1 performance given by Fred Niblo has
’ greatly enhanced his already wide-
■ spread popularity and there is every
reason to believe that in the whim-
! steal highly amusing and wonderfully
real role of Nathaniel Duncan he will
! win his way to the hearts of all play-
goers

At the Plaza.
The bill at the Plaza theater this
week is one of thc beat that popular
little playhouse has presented its pa-
trons since its. opening. It starts off
with a vim and keeps moving at a
great pace all the way to the finish.
There is not a dull moment or an act
that Is not worth the whjle of the
patron and admirer of vaudeville.
Three performances remain for those
who have not as yet patronized the
Plaza this week. The school chil-
dren’s matinee tomorrow promises to
be well patronized. The bill includes:
Thc Three Melvins acrobats par ex-
cellence; Leonard and Drake in mim-
icry and oddity; the Bloomquest
Players in the comedy playlet
. “Nerve” by Victor Smally; the Boot-
black quartette in songs eccentric
dancing and comedy; the Five Ar-
manis Neapolitan grand opera sing-
ers in "A Night in Naples"; De vino
and Williams the traveling salesman
and the female drummer: M. Neder-
veld’s acrobatic simian jockey and
the Plazascope In the latest motion
■ pictures.
At thc Royal.
A very pleasant evening may be
’ spent at the Royal by those who en-
i joy "real good up-to-date vaudeville.”
The acts at this popular playhouse are
far above the average and have
proven themselves worthy of the pub-
lic’s best support. Ea<;h act has per-
sonality and meets with favor
throughout the entire audience.
R’lves toe dancer and singing com-
i edtenne to say the least is dazzling
and daring and provides a tinge of
mystery solved to the audience’s en-
tire satisfaction and appreciation at
the close of the act. Don Carlos’ Dog
