Children Fascinated By Fire
Children love to play with
fire; somehow it seems to
fascinate them. Many young
lives have been snuffed out on
account of the carelessness of
parents and ca??i?kers.
Little children should not be
left alone in rooms where there
are open fires, lighted candles
within reach, or vessels of
hot water upon stoves or on the
floor. During this Christmas
season we cannot be too care
ful with Christmas trees and
decorative lights.
Numbers of children fall
victims each year, to explosions
from firecrackers, or other so
called toys of a dangerous na
ture.
It Is well to teach children
that the most effective way of !
extinguishing a {ire is by j
smothering or by pouring water
on it. The latter cannot always
be obtained.
Illustrate this to them by kind
ling a little fire in the yard
when no water is convenient,
and putting it out by throwing
dirt or sand upon it. Explain
to them that fire can't breathe
without air; that if deprived of
it, it will instantly die. This
knowledge may save a frightful
catastrophe. ^
Some accidents will happen,
and very serious results will
follow unless paaftle generally
]earn how to first aid.
A fire can be put out by
rolling the person in a quilt,
carpet, blanket or any material
that is. thick and strong.
Wrap the body in hot blankets.
Leave the clothing alone.
Exposed parts may be covered
with cloths saturated with bak
ing soda. Call a doctor or am
bulance'* (or professional
help as soon as possible.
As healing progresses some-_
times skin-grafting has to be
performed. T>)e skillful phy
sician must meet the emergen
cies as they arise.
