Don't be witliout means to extingtiish small (ires at any time. Don't delay Bonding in an alarm when you discover a lire. IV,n't hesitate ta send in an alarm of lire or telephone to the nearest lire station if you cannot find the, cause of unusual smoke In your building, or immediate neighbor uocd. I Don t neglect to ascertain the J cause of unusual smoke, or smell of suioke. If It indicates a fire telephone to the nearest fire station. Don't go to bed and leave a keroI.,,,,,, Iin mi I n tr ill t) >?* house. nuuu iimi |/ MU? ?*?.n Don't neglect to watch gas and oil otovo wlieu In use. Don't leave oily rags lying about the premises. Don't allow Hues of chimneys to become defective. Have them cleanr*n at least twice each year. Don't keep matches where rata mid mice can got at them. Above alJ don't lot baby play with matches. Don't place asln.*i in wooden receptacles. JHrn't invito fires by neglecting to guard against and he prepared for them. Defective flues are one great cause of tires, aud care should, therefore, be taken that each and every chimney in the house gets a thorough cleaniuc before the cold weather seta in for good. All necessary repairs should he made now. It should not be Inferred, howwvfvr, that faulty chiuineye are the only causes of useless fires; others might be mentioned, such as kindling a tire with the help of kerosene, or worse yet, with gasoline, and the careless disposition of matches and lamps. A lire chief who has had occasion to study tho errors which are committed by the average person when handling kerosene and gasoline, and as a result ways that the following facts and precautions should bo borne in mind by the users of tho explosive: JKiret, that a combustible vapor 'b constantly rising frotn tho exposed surface ot a lot of gasoline. * ^Second, that this vapor will iliffufto find spread in all directions for a considerable distance from it* eourcc. Third, 'that a flame, glowing fire or even a tiny spark, will cause the vapor to ignite and Hash hack to the tf-asoliuc proper. Fourth, that only a small portion of this vapor is needed in mixture with air to produce an explosion. Vaults, ?ll-ventilated rooms and places In which the vapor of gasoiu if/iQ.llil Iirci 1I4J <1 X M IJ.< HS Is present are us dangerous *is the proverbial powder magazine, and a match or lighted candle is there fore liable to bring about the same results if brought into such a place. Fifth, that burning gasoline '? host extinguished by the smothering process, which, if correctly applied, will cut off all supply of oxygen and thus Hlifle the blaze The following procautlur * might *1ho be observe'' h. i xroui ti ivautago by householders when aaudling kerosene lumps: !> not olow out a lamp while the flame is turned no high. Doing so may force the flame down hifo tho tamp bowl, and oh use an explosion, or at the very least may cause the chimney to crack. The proper method Is to turn down tho wick until he Maze Is half its usual size, and then to blow across the chimney's top, not into It. If the wick is too small to Oil the neck of the lamp bowl, the flamee are very apt to ri&nii vlOvVij iiliii ignite I ??0 ViljiOi'1 JSPia tng from the kerosene with which the vessel Ih filled, and thus cause an explosion. When a which has Imon in use needs refilling, do not take oh the burner near another light or a firo. Many children are badly burned* and even burnt to death, by the over!inning or explosion of a kerosene lamp Above all remember that the refilling of a lamp without having hist extinguished tiio light is a very dan gerous practice. When two-thirds of the contents of a lamp have bemi used up, the remaining third should be filtered through a strainer or piece of cloth in order to remove all particles of dirt whb-h may have settled on the bolloin of I he bowl. The char should he removed from the wick of the lamp every day. A half used-up wick should always he replaced by a new one. A lamp oared tor along the lines suggested above will always give a bright clear light and will not blacken the burner of a vtkv ukv cuuntky TH1H IS WHAT THIS liAW THIK8 TO MAKK OF THK SOUTH. Hut tlio Internal Revenue Show It Is Not So Vory lx>ng Betw?*ou Brinks. Tho law in Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina and a part of South Carolina may bo dry, but tho dry b<dt is limited to tho law, not to the people, according to the report *he revenue collectors in these prohibition states made to their chief at Washington. Those reports are fairly steeped in liquor. They toll not only of "booze ' being made but of tho sale, both in small and in large quantities. In another month Commissioner of Internal Revenho 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 hi the past year. It. is estimated that In Alabama, Georgia, 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.

Georgia comes next with a combined sale of $3 0,5 68 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. CAM 10 LAWS IN A NUTSHELL. SeciTliiry 4as. Ilenry Hire (jives Limit.* of ()|Kmi Season. Because of the fact that no copies of the game laws are available; because there are so many Inquiries from hunters everywhere, and for the convenience of the sportsmen of the State, Mr. James Henry Rice, secretary of the Audubon Society, has prepared the following, giving the information sought in a uutshell. So many incessant inquiries come in to know what are the open seasons tluit you will confers n favor by publishing again the following, and I beg you to say that no copies of tho game law are available for distribution. Any man can see the laws in full by applying to the nearest magistrate.

This applies to the whole state with the exception of Merkeloy county. SAID UK WOt l.D HIHK. Two ltWfgioiis FimimUcm Lone Their liivm tu Way. Henry D.

Silverfriend was asked us to th? outcome of the watch over the louib of Dr. Teed, who had announced be fore his death one year ago that he would rise from tho tomb and be the Messiah of tho Koreheans. Ho stated that Dr. Teed had n it yet risen, but that the cult feels confident that he will come forth nd their Messiah in due time. There has been much curiosity over the situation, he declared, and some men have boon eater to unseal the stone vault and learn what has become )f the body of Dr. Toed, believing It to no in a state of transformation. Two men approached the tomb, Mr. Silverfriend states, with the purpose or opening It, but both sud denly were doprlved of their reason and both died before arrangements were perfected to send them to an asylum. The Bristol colony of the Korsheans was abandoned following tlie death of I>r. Toed. explode. The attonflon of nil householder!
