The kick was directed at a kerosene lantern. The fire that resulted destroyed the heart of Chicago, and left an indelible historical reminder that flammable liquids are a hazard. What the kick did not dramatize, says the Council on Family Health in Canada, is that flammable liquids are potential poison hazards in the home. When gasoline, kerosene, cleaning fluids, paints and paint thinners, lighter fluids, solvents and other liquids described on the label as flammable are left within reach of children, they may cause poisonings, says the Council, a non-profit organization sponsored as a public service by leading members of the drug industry to promote home safety and family health. , A recent survey indicates that thousands of Canadian children under five years of age annually accidentally swallow some of these liquids. Many are hospitalized. It is common belief that flammable liquids, especially kerosene and othe petroleum distillates, taste too unpleasant for children to take more than a sip. Reports show that a considerable number drink an ounce or more. One year-old hoy drank an estimated five to eight ounces of kerosene, with . fatal results. An 18 -month-old girl found paint brushessoaking in a solvent in the kitchen sink. She sucked on the brushes, Then she found the bottle containing the solvent and drank some of the contents. A father poured cleaning ffuid from a can into a glass for easier use. Then he poured the remains back from the glass into the can. Unfortunately, there was still enough left in the glass to provide a few dangerous sips for his two-year-old child. What can be done to assure the safe use and' storage of flammable liquids, to prevent poisonings to any member of the .. family? Here are a few precautions from the Council on Family Health in Canada: Do not pour combustible ' liquids from . the original container into others, even for convenience. Store them in the original c intainer-s so no error can be made. Do not pour flammable liquids into any vessel associated with food, such as soda bottles, cups or glasses, saucers, pans, bowls, cooking utensils or even jar lids. Store flammable liquids in a child -proof cabinet or closet, preferably outside the house, and preferably locked. Always read the' label on the container. There may be special precautions of which you are not aware.

The staff at the booth was kept busy all Dental care Frequent regular dental care has many advantages, says thea federal health 'department's "Dental Health Manual". It is more comfortable to have a small cavity_ filled than large ones. It requires a shorter time for a small one, and consequently, the cost factor is less.:. The cost to replace a lost tooth with an ..artificial one 'in the form of a bridge is usually more than ten times that of having that tooth filled as soon as it begins to to decay. Regular dental care is as inexpensive as the upkeep of a radio or television set, but dental neglect is costly! It is like driving an' old car. .To the cost of treatment arising from neglect must often be added that of "artificial teeth, which do not compare, either in appearance or efficiency, with the natural ones. Regular care prevents pain and loss of sleep., It may prevent serious infection. Most people have seen swollen faces resulting from abscessed teeth.- In addition to . being painful and disabling, such an infection may distribute bacteria to other parts of the body by the . way ofthe blood vessels, causing bacteremia injury to the heart and undermining health. sticks stuck in the sand to hide the day replacing sticks. Before canning- the summer's harvest of produce, check your pressure canner for efficiency, • suggest food specialists at Macdonald Institute, University of Guelph. An accurate pressure gauge is essential to insure the correct processing temperature of home -canned foods. Ti test the gauge, you can use a master gauge or a 'maximum thermometer, or you can return the gauge to the manufacturer for checking. A pressure cooker must be kept clean and handled carefully for safe operation. Do not -use the gauge as a handle or rest the cover on the gauge. Keep the petcock clean and open. Check and clean a hall -and -socket safety valve after each use. If it is corroded, replace it. Keep proper tension in a spring -type valve.
