LIFE HAZARD.
. The Indiana fir marshal receives
reports of death by fire, and these
reports show that during the year 60
adults and 21 children a total of 71
persons, lost their lives. Gasoline
explosions were responsible for a to
tal of 15 deaths; kerosene explosions
for 17; clothing In contact with, fire,
17; lodging and dwelling house fires,
8; children playing with matches, 4;
and the rest scattering. M is note
worthy that the list shows that three
adults committed suicide by fire and
that the specific cause of one death
was unknown. This' last Item Indi
cates that much more care )s ear
clsed In discovering the' specific cause
of fire when It causes loss of life
than when it causes obs of property

A Distinctive Reason
j What is the chief reason for the superiority
t of, Royal Baking Powder?
' There ire several good reasons, but there 'Is .
.one: which distingdshe$ Royal from other bak

This reason, wiich every woman .. should '
, know, is that Royal Baking Powder js made rom .
1 cream of tartar, which comes from grapes 'This ;

FIRE PREVENTION DAY LAW
Wall to Read Over and Study the
Law Establshlnfl This Important
Annual Event.
It is well to read over and, con
sider the law establishing "Fire Pre
vention Day," on October 9. This
day is the anniversary-of the great
Chicago fire and is used in many
other states. The law reads:
4821b. Fire prevention day. The
ninth day of October of each and
every year shall be set aside and' de
signated as J "Fire Prevention Day,"
and the governor shall issue a proc
lamation urging the people to a
proper observance of the said day,
and the Insurance commissioner shall
bring the day and its observance to
the attention of the officials of the
municipalities of the state, and espe
cially to the firemen, nd whgre, pos
sible arrange, suitable programs to-
be followed in its observance.
Let everybody fall into the full
spirit of the day and as urged by the
law and Governor Craig in his proc
lamation, aid the Insurance Commis
sioner by making Monday. Oct. 9, the
greatest day in North Carolina's his
tory for fire and accident prevention.
Little sparks from matches,
Little piles of trash,
Will turn your pntty cottage
Into smoke and ash.
ATTENTION TO ALL RUBBISH
Care Should Be Taken to Clean Yards
and Burn All Accumulated
Rubbish.
Care should be taken to clean up
yards and burn accumulated rubbish
away from buildings and fences where
a fire might be startefl. Fires should
not be made on days of high winds.
Gather the trash In piles on a bare
space and burn when name grown
person can watch that no child plays
with the burning brands, and that
the flro is completely quenched be
fore leaving it. Often coals will re
vive after being apparently dead. It
is Impossible to be too careful In
these particulars and many times
disastrous fires will be averted by
timely precautions. It may be the
means of saving lives as well as valu
able property. In this connection
more particularly is "an ounce ef
prevention worth a pound of cure."
A little precaution and care In the
cleaning up and burning of rubbish is
timely. The great majority of fires
are avoidable and purely the result
of carelessness. Remember, it is the
people and the policy holders who
pay the losses.
