With the arrival of cold weather

of tires, and some suggestions
along the line of what to do

It would be a good thing if everv

Don't gut excited when you discover

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

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

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,

places ^n which the vapor of gaso"

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

These reports are fairly steeped in

Revenhe Royal Cabell will

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.
