eommlttco In rh.irco of tho mnxement has
laid llttlo stress upon this fcaturo of a
fireman's dally llfo In Its efforts to enlist
tlio support of tlio irenernl public
In this connection tlio words of Dr. .T.
CltBlnicrs Da 'onta hecomo nf tinusunl
value. Doctor Da Ooita as surKMn of tho
riremnn's I'enilon 1'und and In ft similar
rnpartty for tho l'lre Insuranco Patrol Is
n recognized authority upon tho medical
sldo of a fireman's life. Ite&ardlntf thla
phaso of tho rtre-nghter's calling, ns a result
of Romo twonty.fUo years' experience, ho
says :
"Accidents In tho llro station nro not rnro
and now ami then a man Is killed When
tho hoc strikes, u number of men Jump
from chairs or beds and run for their
places, and In nonmoturlzcd companies
horses run, too. Accidents nro bound to
happen nt times Uurlnt? tho run for place,
tho liilcliliiB up and tho roll out of the
houso whllo men uro ttlll mounting the
apparatus. Often when a man Jumps out
of bed ho diaps tho blanket with him, and
this may throw and hurt those who follow
him and step upon It. Tho tslldlne pole Is
a common cause, of Injury. A Mi mm of
men, each man with nn arm and leg around
tho brass pole, slides down from upst.iiis
to tho Kround Hour. Jf ono Is blow KcttinR
from undor at tho bottom another m.iy
crash down upon him. A number of legs
have been broken and many ankles sprained
in this way. Jinny llremon Buffer ftom
painful flat foot thus produced.
"Somo mon," Doctor Da Costa continues,
"can stand emoko better than othcra. LarRo
rhested mon atand It better than small-
chested ones. Fat men, whisky drinkers
and cry heavy tisors of tobacco Mnnd It
poorly. Tho effort of pullhnj a heavy lino
of hose, carrying heavy rubber covers,
walking up many flights of stairs, or using
nn ax exhausts n man and makes him nn
easy victim to smoko. Jlcn nro moro easily
overcome In hot than In cold weather. Heat
exhaustion may precedo smoko asphyxia.
' A fireman should bo a man In good
iictlth, with a line chest expansion, of good
habits, cpilclt to think, prompt to net. obedi
ent to orders, possessed of nn endurance
to stand long services and nil sort9 of ex
posure ond hardship nnd the owner of a
disposition which enables him 'to consort
with lils comrades without excessive fric
tion. Those qualities can't ho measured
by a civil scrvlco examination. Ho must
have, above all, what Is tho fabric, the
very warp and woof of a good fireman, the
quality Which somo call couingc, some
bravery, somo heart, somo backbone, some
grit, somo pluck, somo sand Tho civil
Rervlco examination cannot estimate
bravery "

ALL life insurance men

that a billion and a half
more are tied up in real
