With the arrival of cold weather eotnes the constant and ever increasmenace of tires, and some suggestions along the line of what to do la case of a conflagration, are apt (faftt at this time: It would be a good thing if everv householder in the city were to famllf.lilr.e himtmlf with icirli and nvurv ono ?f the following "don'ts:" Don't gut excited when you discover a tire?act coolly and quickly. Don't bo without means to extinguish small fires at any time. Don't delay sending in an alarm when you discover a fire. Don't hositale ta send iu an alarm of fire or telephone, to the nearest fire Malion if you cannot find the cause of unusual smoke in your building, or immediate neigh boruood Don t neglect to ascertain the cause or unusual smoke, or smell of smoke. If it indicates a tl^e telephone to the nearest tire station. Don't go to bed and leave a kerosene lamp burning in the house. Don't neglect to watch gas uud oil stove when in use. Don't leave oily rags lying about ]the premises. Don't allow flues of chlmueys te Become detective. Have them cleau?rr at least twice each year. Don't keep matches where rats ind mice can get at them. Above all don't let baby play with matches. Don't place ashes in wooden receptacles. !>on't invite fires by neglecting to gttard against aud he prepared for them Defective flues are one great cause of fires, and care should, therefore, be taken that each and every chimney in -the house gets a thorough cleaning before the cold weather sot* in for good. All necessary reputis should be made now. It shjpuld not be inferred, however, that faulty chimneys are too only causes of useless fires; others might be mentioned, such as kindIfeg a fire with the help of kero eftie, or worse yet. with gasoline. attd tin? careless disposition of ttftlchcu and lamps. A tire chief who h.ik had occasion to study the errors ?hlch arc committed by^the average person when handling keroeeue and gasoline, and as a result says that the following facts una precautions should be borne In mind by the tisers of tho explosive: * ?Fir8tI'that a combustible vapor 's constantly rising from the exposed surface of a lot of gasoline. Second, that this vapor will diffuse ami spread in all directions for a considerable distance from its eotirce. i Thirl that a Uame, glowing fire or eveif a tiny spark, will cause the Vapor tt> ignite and Hash back to the icasolinit proper. Fourth, that only a small portion of thisj vapor Is needed in mixture with atr to produce an explosion, v nulls.f Ml-ventllated rooms and places ^n which the vapor of gaso" tine is present are as dangerous as ',.uo is present are as dangerous as the proverbial powder magazine, and a match or lighted candle Is there foro liijjile to bring about the same results,if brought into such a place. Flt'lf. that burning gasoline 's heat extinguished by the smothering process', which, if correctly Applied, will Pill off all supply of oxygen and thus slide the blaze. The following p.-ocauth?r ? might also b?* observe*' ?>. great ulvantage t>> householders when naudlinir keroe? ijo lamps: Do not olow out a lamp while the flame Is turned no high. Doing so may force the flame down 'n'o the lamp howl, and cause an explos.cn. or at <hc very least may cause la chining to crack. The proper method i.^ to tuin down tho wick until me blmp is half its usual size, and then 10 blow ai:ross the chimney's ' top, not Into it. If the wick is too small to fill the neck of the lamp howl, the flames are very apt to flash down and Ignite the vapor arising from the kerosene with which the Vi-Ael is tilled, and thus cause an explosion. Wh|?n a lump, which has been in use needs refilling, do not take off tho burner near another light or a fire. Many children are badly burned, aivI even burnt to death, by (he overturnlng or explosiou of a kerosene lamp. Above all remember that the r?v Ailing of a lamp without having that extinguished the light is a very dan gerous practice. When two-tblrda of the contents of a lamp have he-n used up, the remaining third should be filtered through a strainer or piece of cloth in order to remove all particles of dirt which may have settled on the bottom of the bowl The char should be removed from the wick of the lamp every day. A half used-up wick should always he replaced, by a new one. A lamp cared for alwng the lines suggested shove will always give a bright clear light and will not blacken the burner ot a A VtRY DRY COUNTRY THIS IS WHAT THK IJVW TRIES TO MARK OF THK SOUTH.

North Carolina and a part of South Carolina may be dry. but the dry b?lt is limited to the law. not to the d?> pie, according to the report * he revenue collectors In thoBo prohibition states made to their chief at Washington. These reports are fairly steeped in liquor. They tell not only of "booze ' being made hut of the sale, both in small and in large quantities. In another month Commissioner of Internal Revenhe Royal Cabell will make public his annual report, 'n which he will quote figures furnished by collectors of internal revenue in these states showing the number of special tax stamps which have been sold in the past year. It is estimated that in Alabama, Ceorgia, North Carolina and a small part of South Carolina the receipts from the sale of these spec'al tax stamps will amount to approximately $105,000 for the fiscal year which ended June 3 0 last. Alabama leads in the number of stamps purchased. The sale of retall stamps amounted to approximately $:t 1.000. and the combined sale of retail and wholesale $v8.500. Georgia comes next with a combined sale of $30.56S worth of stamps. it Is estimated that $16,000 worth of both kinds of stamps were sold in North Carolina in the past year. Again drug merchants were the heaviest buyers. South Carolina will show a combined sale of about $20,000 worth of stamps. (JAM K LAWS IN A NUTS HULL.
