the plants must be showered every

that are found on many hard wood

MYSTERIOUS fIREs.

A great many ''mysterious" fires
might be explained if rats could talk.
Rats and mice love the phosphorus on
the lighting end of matches. When
you are reminded OF the pretty little
frivols in which matches are kept in
the bed rooms and in the kitchen,
oftentimes. you must know that il is
easy enough for the tiny stray mouse
to get at them and thus start dis.
sstrous fire by igniting the silken
hanging or mantel scarf. Safe matches
are those that will strike fire only
when scratched on specially prepared
surfaces. II the common matches are
used they should be kept in TIN boxes
and religiously covered all the time.
