FIRE WASTE ISJTHN6 ATTENTION
Several States Have Realized Eiioniiuus Destruction by Fire and
Established Legislation to Prevent Some of Waste
The lire waste throughout the coun
try Is attrautng more attention th-ui
ever before, and several states have
shown a disposition to recognise the
principle that the enormous dcsfiuc
lion of property annually Is an e.-o
liomic waste of the country's resources
with I he result that they have ex
picked a decided sentiment in i.ivoi
of establishing special legislation,
which will tend toward greater conser
vation, and ure abandoning their for
mer attitude of assuming that as long
as properly Is insured there is no loss.
In the lace of facts, the attitude
mentioned Is absolutely erroneous
and It can be corrected by the edui a
Hon of the public, starting with the
children, whose receptive minds are
oputi to Instruction in the suvliig of
SONGS.
He sang a song of mountains, in ha.y, purple mist,
Of rough cliffs all in shadow, of summits fair, sun kissed.
And a few, in the vast and varied throng
Who had seen the mountains, applauded the song.
He sang a song of the ocean, with waters clear, blue-green
And foani-tlecked waves a-iossing in changing silvery sheen,
And here and there in the crowd was one
Who loudly clapped, when the song was done.
He sang a song of gladness, with merry, laughing hit
And every word and gesture had a little upward tilt.
And the happy faces happier shone,
l-'or the song he sang was all their own.
He sang song of sorrow, the chorus all of pain,
A reverend silence followed, applause was useless vain.
Ye! the singer knew when the audience rose
He had found the song the w hole world knows.

Safety Engineering.
Show your employees that safety ac
tivity is In their Interest and that o!
the Nation. Once they realize this,
they will say. "This bu-iness of pre

ASHES ARE DANGEROUS.
Only Safe Way to Handle Ashes Is to
Plaoe Them In a Motal Recepta
cle and Cover,
Ashes have as many lives as His
proverbial cat. When they are taken
out of the stove they may look as If
there was no fire In them, but all II I
takes lo fan them into life and make
them a dangerous and living thing Is
alrw 1th sufficient velocity and that Is
usually on hand to do the Job. There
ts Just one sufe way to tHke cafe uf
ashes, and that Is to put thoui into a
tight metal receptacle, and when It Is
full carry them out away from valua
able property and empty them. It Is
a practice for people to carry out
their ashes and empty them up
against btitldiniis and fences In the
bark yards and alleys, and there has
been thousands of dollars worth of
valuable property destroyed by tall
careless practice.
LIFE INSURANCE.
Don't Depend Upon Your Neighbors
to Care For Your Laved Ones.
They Have Their Own Troubles.
Albert Hubbard said many good
things about life Insurance, but the fol
lowing is as comprehensive as any:
"Life Insurance avoids the uncertain
ty of leav.iug things to the neighbors.
It is a business plan founded on the
laws of mathematics to provide for
those dependent upon us tu case of
death. Llf Insurance is no charity.
Life Insurance is a duly, and it Is a
privilege Lord Nelsonu In tits will

neighbors. The neighbors may hav

CHILD BURNED.
The following is a sad statement
clipped from a stir, ,taper a few days
ago:
"Aftor 'H liuiirs ol . i, tense suttering
from severe burns, Theodore Koose-
velt West, Hie 3 year-old sou of
died at the home of his parents. The
child was tell in the house alone wit
two other children while the mother
went out to look after her cow.
"The child caught tire from an open
tiicphtce. A Jar in which kerosene
had been kept was found near the
tire and one of the other children says
his brother threw some uf the oil Into
the nie."
The trouble ts that cases such as
this are too frequent. How long will
North Carolina parents stand for tt?
MATCHES,
The match is designed to start fires.
Il does.
A single match may cause the
burning of a city.
Most tires are of Hie same slit
when they start.
A thoughtful husband or father will
have no matches in his home eicept
those which light only on the box.
Such matches. If accldentlly dropped
or secured by young children, cannot
be lgnltod on any ordinary surface.
Hundreds of baby children are burned
to death every year, playing with Us
"strike anywhere" match.
LAWS NEEDED.
The people must be rntido to know
that our annual fire waste ts as great
a menace as war, famine, or flood.
Fire waste emanates largely from
crlm.nal Indifference, hence should be
prevented through laws which would
go direct to the very root of the evil,
and hold the party, on whose prem
ises fire originates criminally liable.
When this Is dona our Are waste and
sacrifice of human life will be reduced
76 per cent.
CLEAN UP.
Rubbish heaps are flr breadtra,
Fires start In them and are fed b?
them. A. cleau city will have few fires.
Attics aud cellars should be kept
tree from combustible accumulations.
Ashes should not ba carelessly dis
posed against wooden fences or oth
er combustible surfaces.
Trash or autumn leaves should nut
ba burned too near buildiugs.
