it that the stove and stove pipes used
are so insulated that in case it is ov-

Children should be educated to the
seriousness of playing with matches.
The youngsters, in this case, are not
as much to blame as are the older
ones. Have the matches kept in a
metal can and out of reach of the
children. Only recently near Kirk-
land Lake, three children were burnt
to death when left alone in their
home: The cause was given as play-
ing with thatches. We hear so touch

but very little of, a loss of three lives
like this.
In filling lamps, be sure you use
the coal oil can instead of the gaso-

so that there can be no chance of a
