THE GASOLINE STOVE
Why 1t Destroys Houses and
Lives.

The following bulletin has been
issued from Pierre by the State Fire
Marshal.
During last year, one in every A.
600 persons in the United States was
burned to death by gasoline eXplo-
sion; nearly all of them women and
children.
The gasoline stove is an excellent
servant if we'll treated, but is death
dealing enemy when carelessly fed or
when aged. 1t shortens the work of
the housewife and often shortens her
life too, a sound stove is safe if care
is used in filling it and closing the
valves.
Burning gasoline may be entin-
gulshed 10y smothering with wet rags
flour, sand or ashes, if the amount of
liuld is small. Throwing water only
spreads the blazing stuff.
STYLES OF STOVES
There are three different provisions
for filling gasoline stoves. One allows
the tank to be retilled while the
burners are alight; another compels
the removal OF the tank from the
stove to refill: a third has lip which
makes it necessary to place the reser-
voir lower than the burner while fill
ing SO that it cannot remain lighted.
The reservoir of every gasoline
stove should be outside of 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 filled. The stove should
be fixed to permanent foundation SO
that it cannot be set about on shelves
or boxes or places against any wooden
or intlammable material.
All gasoline stoves should have
bottom and three sides closed to pre-
vent combustible material from
reaching the tlame-this is most i'm
portant The main burner CRATES
should be at least two feet from the
| floor.

Beggars Must Go

Mayor Jackson has instructed the
police that all street grafters, peddlers
and beggars must seek other pastures.
This city has had more than it's share
OF this nuisance and it is hoped that
the order will stand.

IMPORTANT ''DON'Ts'

Don I 1all TO turn the burner shut
before filling the reservoir, for the
fluid leaking through them will make
vapor which will set on fire one who
strikes a match to light the stove.
Don't ill the stoves reservoir while
the burner is alight, for vapor of gas
oline being heavier than air will reach
the flame.
Don't ill the can quite full, for gas
oline expands much more than water
when it becomes warm and is likely
to force open seam in the reservoir.
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 gasoline from one vessel
to another in a room in which there
is fire or light, because the invisible
vapor of gasoline will be drawn to
any nearby fire, lamp, candle or gas
jet.
The opening through which the
tank is filled must be kept tightly
ClOScu dU all UlllleS.
LOOK FOR LEAKS
Don't fail to watch closely for leaks
in reservoir or burner, because gaso-
line being but tWo-thirds as thich as
water will exude through smaller
hole. Remember, too that when the
leak is small there is no drop or damp
spot anywhere to stop it's existence,
because the gasoline vaporizes as fast
as it exudes.
Don't slop the stuff about for it is
more dangerous than powder. Most
of the stove accidents occur from fill
ing the reservoir. If gasoline is
splashed on clothing it's vapor will be
exploded by the match used to light
the stove.
Don't get the kerosene and gasoline
cans mixed. That hasc cost many lives.
Don't handle gasoline after night.
There is a warning in the following
epitaph:
''Under this mound is all we found
OF little Johnnie Green,
Who went by night with candle light
TO draw some gasoline.
Don't keep gasoline in a jug or in a
can larger than two gallons, because
it is difficult to pour the thin stuff
from either without spilling it.
| Don't leave any gasoline 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 gosoline
will then leak. Water boiling ovel
may put out the blaze too.

Miss Rose McQuade. peace
maker at the new COURT OF
DOMESTIC RELATIONS, re-
Gently established in New
York. in commenting upon
wife's duty to a husband and
vice versa says:
"A woman ought to fight
out her household
troubles by herself. just
as her husband fights
out his business
troubles"
This Is good, wholesome
advice, and If more married
women would follow 1t and
not bother their husbands at
night with their household
perplexities there would be
more PLEASANT EVENINGS
SPENT AT HOME.
When a man comes home
from business at night he
does not relish the Idea of
arbitrating the differences be-
tween the kitchen and living
room factlons-he does not
like to listen to a DOMESTIC
TALE OF WOE any more than
the average woman likes to
SHOULDER A MANS BUSI-.
NESS TROUBLES.
We don't mean to convey
the idea that husband and
wife should not have ANY
THING In common-far from
it. Husbands and wives
should talk over ALL I'M
PORTANT matters together,
but the little petty annoy-
ances = the really trivial
troubles-should be locked up
in their own hearts and solved
by themselves alone.
Try keeping your LITTLE
domestic difficulties to your
self for a while and see what
difference 1t makes in things.
