SOME GASOLINE DoN'Ts.
How Not to Blow Up the House and
Your Family With IL,

How Not to Blow Up the House and
Your Family With II.
Mr.. H. d. Davis, who is the State
Fire Marshall Of Ohio, and who has
prepared some very unpleasant stats
tics in regard to gasolene stoves, has
prepared also the following don 'ts''
for gasolene consumers:
Don't fill the stoves reservoir while
the burner is alight. Vapor Of gaso-
lene being HEAVIER than air, will reach
the flame and the fash will so fright
en- the filler that more gasolene Will
be spilled and the room instantly
filled with flame.
Don't fill the can quite full, for gaso-
lene expands much more than water
when it becomes warm and is likely
to force open seam in the reservoir.
Don't fail to turn the burner shut
before filling the reservoir. for the
fluid leaking through it will make
vapor which will set on fire one who
strikes match to light the stove.
Don't allow too much fluid to flow
into the burner or fail to close it
tight when putting the fire out.
Don't pour gasOlene from one YES
sci to another in a room in which
there is a fire or light, because the
invisible vapor or gasOlene will be
drawn to any nearby fire, lamp, candle
Or gas jet.
Don't fail to watch closely for leaks
in reservoir or burner, because gaso-
lene, being but two-thirds as dense as
water, will exude through a smaller
hole. Remember. too, that when the
leak is small there is no drop or damp
spot anywhere to show its existence,
because the gasolcne vaporizes as
fast as it exudes.
Don't slop the stuff. for it is more
dangerous than powder. Three-fourths
of the stove accidents occur while fill
ing the reservoir.
Don't keep gasolene in any jug or
in a can larger than two gallons, BE-
cause it is difficult to pour the thin
stuff from either without splitting 1t.
Don't get the gasolene and kerosene
cans mixed. That error cost two lives
in Ohio last year.
Don't leave any gasolene can open,
because currents of air draw out the
vapor. The reservoir Of every @aso-
lene stove should be outside the build
ing, the feed pipe passing through the
wall. If so placed, heat from the
stove cannot burst it, leak is harm
less and vapor cannot ignite while
it is being filed. The stove should
be fixed to permanent foundation so
that it cannot be set against any in
flammable material.
All gasolene stoves should have bot
tom and three sides closed to pre-
vent combustible material from reach
ing the fame, and the main burner
CRATES should be two feet from the
floor Finally, don't hunt the source
Of an odor Of gasolene with a light.
The result of finding it is always in
Simultaneous and disastrous.

RIGHT HOME
Doctor Recommends Postum From
Personal Test.

No one is better able to realize
the injurious action of cafteine-the
drug in coffee-on the heart. than the
doctor.
When the doctor himself has been
relieved by simply leaving OF coffee
and using Postum, he can refer with
full conviction to his own case.
A Mo. physician prescribes Postum
for many Of his patients because he
was benefited by it. He says:
81 wish to add my testimony in re-
gard to that excellent preparatiQQ-
Postum. I have had functional u
nervous heart trouble for over Is
years, and part Of the time was un-
able to attend to my business.
II was q moderate user of coffee
and did not think drinking 1t hurt
me. But on stopping it and using
Postum instead, my heart has got all
right, and I ascribe it to the change
from coffee to Postum.
II am prescribing it now In cases
of sickness, especially when coffee
does not agree, or affects the heart,
nerves or stomach.
when made right it has much
better flavor than coffee, and is
vital sustainer of the system. I shall
continue to recommend it to our peo-
pie, and l have my own case to refer
to-" Name given by Postum Co..

Douglas Island news., 1906-10-24

Hon. Thomas Gale, delegate elect for the long term, was in Douglas yester- day morning on his way to the States, Mir. Gale says that he feels that he is just as much of citizen of Alaska es anyone in it. The fact that his wife and family live in Wisconsin was men, tioned. Mir. Gale says that his children with the exception of a l5-year old girl, are grown. He says, further, that dur ing the nine years he has been in the North he has lived the life of pros pector, following the feeting mirage, seeking for gold, and it would have been impossible for his family to be with him, neither would be have been able to support them here when his luck was bad. MT. Gale resents the statement made by some people that a large proportion of the votes cast in the interior towns were illegal. He says A is not so, and more than that there are hundreds of men who are legally entitled to vote who did not, because it was impossible for them to travel the long distance to the voting places. MT. Gale says that he is not bound by any party or other ties, except as he sees his duty to the people of Alaska. He accepted the delegate job because it was forced upon him by his friends and now that he has it he intends 50 do his best for the country.
Douglas Island news., 1906-10-24

The defenselsss condition of the schools of Alaska appeals to every pa rent. The school is indeed fortunate that has a corps of teachers fitted in every respect for the positions they hold. There should be some power, higher than the local school board, authorized to pass on the qualifications of teachers. A certificate should be required, and in no case should it be granted to a person afflicted with tu- berculosus. The mistakes of an incom- petent teacher may be far reaching and leave their mark upon the lives Of many pupils, but how much more ter rible may be the introduction of this dread disease amo ng the scholars of a school. Douglas, through no fault of the school guardians, perhaps, has had an experience, and God grant that none of our children may be carried to the grave because of it.

The agitation of the question of the protection of the food fish of Alaska waters from wanton destruction by fertilizer factories calls forth many in teresting revelations. The concern that makes a business of running this useful and profitable industry should be nip, ped by the sharp process of law. But, it is very probable that before Congress con be made to understand the dilem- ma, irreparable harm will be done.

The Promise of Alaska

! IlS IOllllSS VI IAICtSAd
 What the interior of Africa was to Europe as an unknown and eXplorable land, that Alaska is to the United States. Most of the other states and territories of North America are so we'll known that little new is expected of them. Even Mexico, coming mining country, is but resurrection of an old and long known country and ancient civilization. But Alaska has all the charm of novelty, all the interest of exploration and that peculiar interest which attaches to the gradual develop ment, progress and building up of pioneer state or territory.
 Geologically and Geographically there Is no other part of America like it. Glance for a moment at that ex- traordinary shaped region, with its wonderful ragged coast line, relics of once more extended continent, aregion torn to tatters on the edges by glaciers and glacial action producing coast line by its fjords and old glacial islet extensions comparable to and resembl- ing the northern coast of the Scandi- nayian peninsula but far surpassing it in wildness of outline. It is region, too, in it's upper extension, where the extreme of fire aad water meet, where there are glaciers and ice sheets on one hand, and on the other, like the Ant arctic region with its Erebus and Ter TOT, there are living active volcanoes, and more than that, new ones lately formed and others likely to form and burst forth at any moment
 Then consider the discoveries of min eral wealth, such as those of Nome and other settlements; and gradually as re- searches are being extended, Alaska appears to be a treasure-h house contain ing within its boundaries representa- tives of 50 many of those minerals so much desired elsewhere but so rarely found, such as platinum, tin and other unusual and valuable ores. Coal, too, even anthracite, so much wanted not only in Alaska itself, but all down the notoriously coalless Pacific coast, is found here. There are good signs of oil, too; in fact what known mineral product is there that Alaska has not got, or that may not yet be discovered?
 The mineral discoveries are very like those of the Rocky Mountains general Iy. At first it is placer gold; then placer gold is traced to its source in the rocks, and gold mines on vein leads are established; silver and lead mines follow. All attention is at first con- centrated on these valuable metalsyand later, and very gradually, as the coun- try builds up, it is turned to such pro- duets as coal, building stone, clays,etc. These one by one are discovered and fall in line, and not improbably the time will come when there will be search for the rarer minerals, such as uranium and others, and as in Colorado the demand for any rare mineral has been promptly followed by its dis, covery and supply, so there is noknow- | ing what Alaska may bring forth or when she may astonish the world. 1t is new country of almost unlimited | possibilities.--DenYsr Mining Reporter.
