Causes of Fire.

N00DOD Va ~
On several occasions it has been
found when buildings and machinery
have been taken down that the wood
placed in close contact to heating ap-
paratus has become so charred that
it is nothing more nor less than char
coal. Sometimes this has ignited on
exposure to air. An expert declares
that there are more fires caused in this
way than the public yer suspect. BY
some means there is a crevice through
which a current of hot air is drawn.
This gradually oxidizes the wood and
makes it as inf1ammable as finder. It
is estimated that wood ignites at about
600 to 800 degrees F. Wood containing
much oily OF resinous matter inlames
much more easily, and great care
should be taken in putting such wood
in the immediate vicinity of great heat.
It is thought that very many fires at
tributed to defective lues are caused by
resinous woods that Ire put into cas-
ings and other woodwork where there
are openings more or less large through
which stove or furnace heat can pass.
Gradually these places become dry,then
go through various chemical changes
caused by intense and long continued
heat, until on some occasion when the
fires are unusually fierce they burst
into a flame. In building houses there
is nothing nor important than the
care of chimneys and fiues. II posi-
BILE there should be double guards
placed between all woodwork and me-
tai; with ventilation supplied by cold
air. Attention to this would save
much valuable property and might save
life.

much of the cure depends. The pa
tients declare that the eating is simply
stufing them until they are as lazy
as one can imagine. There are raw
meats, fat, honey and some fruit, with
quantities of milk and butter. Meat
is given three times a day, and be-
tween meals If the patients will take
it. In fact, the general idea seems to
be to build up and brace up and fat
ten up as much a possible. The rooms
are comfortably heated, but the win
dows + open so that there is a con-
slant supply of fresh air. The patients
plod about in the sun and in all sorts
of weathers, and seem to flourish with
the treatment. Any amount of pork is
included in the diet, and eggs, custards
and sweets also are provided in abund-
ance. The patients gain, and write
home to their friends that they are
wonderfully improved. They, however,
agree that. the same treatment would
be impossible at home, as the patients
would not prepare for themselves the
diet that the doctors prescribe for
them and insist upon their taking.

While admitting that there is

sist the encroachments of disease, and
finally to throw of disease germs or
