Styles of Stoves

There are three different provisions
TOT hlllng gasolene stoves. One al
lows the tank to be refilled while the
burners are alight; another compels
the removal Of the tank from the stove
TO refill; third has a lip which
makes 1T necessary to place the reser-
Volf lower than the burner while fill
ing SO that it cannot remain lighted.
Inc reservoir of every gasolene
stove should be outside of the build
Jug, the feed pipe passing through the
wall. If SO placed heat from the
stove cannot burst it, a leak is harm
less and yapor cannot ignite while
IL IS being filed. The stove should
DE ilXed to a permanent foundation 80
mat 1t cannot be set about on shelves
OF boxes or placed against any
wooden or other inhammable mate
rial.
All gasolene stoves should have
bottom and three sides closed to pre-
vent combustible material from
reaching the tame this is most i'm
portant. The main burner CRATES
should be at least two feet from the
floor.

important ''Don'ts"

Don't fail to turn the burner shut
before filling the reservoir. for the
mud leaking through them will make
a Vapor which Will set on fire one who
strlkes match to light the stove.
Don't fill the stoves reservoir while
the burner is alight, for vapor of gas
olene being heavier than air will reach
the flame.
Don't fill the can quite full, for gas
olene expands much more than water
when 1t becomes warm and is hkelv
TO force open seam in the reservoir
Don't allow too much tluid to flow
INTO the burner or fail to close it
ueht when putting the fire out.
Don't pour gasolene from one YES
sci to another in a room in which
there is fire or light, because the in
visible yapor of gasolene will be
drawn to any nearby fire, lamp,
candle or gas jet.
The opening through which the tank
is Tiled must be kept tightly closed
at all times.

Look for Leaks

DON'T fail to watch closely for leaks
IN reservoir or burner, because gaso-
lene being but two-thirds as thick as
water will eXude through a smaller
mole. Remember, too, that when the
leak is small there is no drop or damp
spot anywhere to stop it's existence,
because the gasolene vaporizes as fast
as it exudes.
Don't Stop the stuff about for it is
more dangerous than powder. Most
or the stove accidents occur from fill
Zig the reservoir. If gasolene is
splashed on clothing it's vapor will be
exploded by the match used to light
the stove.
Don't get the kerosene and gasolene
cans mixed. That has cost many
lives.
Don't handle gasolene after night.
There is warning in the following
epitaph:
Under this mound is all we found
VI Hltle Johnny Green
Who went by night with candle light
To draw some gasolene"
Don't keep gssolene in jug or in a
can larger than two gallons, because
II IS difficult to pour the thin stuff
from either without splitting it.
Don't leave any gasolene can open
because currents of air draw out the
vapor.
Don't leave a stove unmatched
where the wind may blow out the
light in the burner, because gasolene
Will then leak. Water boiling over
may put out the blaze, too.
