BUILDING a fire is a very simple
job but, as in everything else*
there is a right and wrong way
of doing it. From my experience,
the quickest and easiest way to
light a fire is this:
First of all, if there is a layer
of ashes on the grates, leave it
there. About two inches of ashea
on the grates help a lot.
Then spread about two inchest
of coal uniformly over the ashes.
On top of this fresh coal put a
good charge of kindling, consist
ing of newspapers and light.wood.
Be sure that
the Turn Damp
er in the smoke-
pipe and the
Ashpit Damper
are wide open
and the Check
Damper closed.
This will create
the strong draft
which is needed to ignite the fire.
Now light the kindling and when
it is burning freely, slowly add
more coal. The kindling will ignite
the fresh coal both above and below
it, and you can then add more coal
and thus quickly build up a good
deep fire.
Occasionally you may find, when,
the kindling wood begins to bum*
that smoke starts coming out
through the crevices around the
furnace doors. This is due to the
fact that the chimney, being cold,
does not provide sufficient draft
to carry off the smoke. This con
dition can be quickly remedied by
opening wide the slide in the fire
door—or by partially or entirely
Hosing the ashpit damper—or by
a combination of the two.

bet is about 6% of the total popula
tion, yet fully one-quarter of the 110,-
000 annual fatal accident fatalities in
the two countries are among persons
who have reached or passed their
65th birthday. The problem of acci
dent prevention in the old is not only
of present importance; it will become
of increasing importance as the years
go by for time will increase the pro
portion of the older ages.
The excessive accident mortality of
old people is relatively greater among
women than among men. This exces
sive mortality is due, not so much
from the greater frequency of acci
dents in the old, as from the fact that
when an accident does occur, the re
sult is likely to be more serious. The
bones of the old are more or less brit
tle; they are easily broken; they do
not knit as readily as in youth. Burns
and other injuries do not heal so rap
idly while serious complications such
as pneumonia are more frequent and
fatal in the old. Chronic disease,
common among old persons, is apt to
be aggravated by an accident.
The commonest types of accident
in persons of 65 or over are falls on
floors, on stairs and on the street.
Relatively few are due to falls from
high places «— from roofs, balconies,
fire escapes, etc.
Some 6,000 aged persons are killed
by automobiles each year. The slow-
moving 65-year-old has little chance
in the fast-moving traffic of to-day.
