PREVENT FIRES IN HOME
Nimbtr of Simple Rules That If Fol

nate All Flraa In Koreas.
Ptrea la the homo are easier to pro
vent than to extinguish.
Practically every lire originating In
a dwelling houae la due to careleaaneae
or neglect
The atUc. cellar, and ell clothe*
closets should be cleaned at leaat once
* year and all naeloaa material and
rubbish removed and burned.
In Btorlng clothing, remove all
matches and other material from tho
pockets. Do not hung clotboa near hot
chimneys.
Do not go Jn to clotboa cloeota with
lighted matches or caiutloa.
Uae only safety matches and keep
them away from the children.
Never throw burned inatohea on th»
floor or into waate baskets. ...
Do not use Inflammable shades on
lamps. cand en or electric light bulbs.
Coal oil lHir.pt* should always be
llllod by daylight They should be
kept clean aud properly trimmed. A
dirty lamp i 9 unsafe.
Cspecial rare should bo taken in tho
home to prevent flrua from starting. ba
cause whan they do start tljere Is sol
dora a man about to extinguish tlioic.
Where woman and children aro hou«
ed, tho utmost vl ,ilanco is necessary
on tho part of those responsible for
their welfare.
A, fuse is-the "safety valve" of au
"let trie Bystem, n»c! should never bo
.replaced by one of larger fit7.o or of
any other material.
JDo nouaUow paj or rubbish to ac
cumulate behind coila or radUv
tors.
Qas stoves should never bo connect
ed up with rubber tul.ing. Gas pipe,
rijrld and socure. is tlio only safe con
nection.
Hans and cloths saturated with
cleaning and polishing oils may Ignite
spontaneously In a few hours. Ilurn
them at once.
Bo careful of ashes. Do not deposit
them against woorlen buildings or
fences. See that there aro no live
coals. Far bettor to pour a pail of
waUir over, thorn than to take tho risk
of a strong wind carrying 'ive coals
and starting fir'-s.
Nevor allow little children to carry
lamps, and novor sot lamps on a table
cover. Children may pull thorn over.
SCHOOL FXIT3
The best means of escape tn cane of
Are (or a school building whom inont
of the pupils are small children is, in
my opinion, a horizontal escape
through an opening in a fire wall bi
secting the building, tho opening
properly protectod on both sides by
self-closing fireproof doors. There
should preferably be on one side of
the opening a sliding door hold back
on a fusible link, and on the other
side a self-closing swinging door. This
means of escape is the most efficient
not only for a school building, but
also for any other kind of a building.
If a vertioal escape must be provldod
Instead of a borisontal escape, a Phil
adelphia Are tower Is best If this
cannot be provided an Interior en
closed stairway is next best Outside
Iron balcony Ore escapes are subject
to serious objections.— J. D. HIIMIIH
•
UNSAFE FLUES.
Statistics show that at least 18 per
cent of the fires in this State are
caused by defective chimneys and
flues. * Of course all of theso fires could
have been prevented and should have
been prevented. If the parties building
the chimneys and flues had followsd
our building laws governing these
matters, especially in regard to lining
these, chimneys and flues with fire
clay lining. There is no question in
my mind as to the advisability of lin
ing chimneys and flues with fire clay
lining.
In our state we aro roqulrius this
now in our Stato building law, and
practically all of the trouble Is coming
from chimneys and flues built prior
to the enactment of this law or where
It Is not fully enforced.—James R.
Young. Insurance Commissioner
