FALL FIRE ADVICE.
Chief Babcoek of Fire Depart
ment Gives Warning.
All Gas Stoves Must Be Connect
ed With Chimneys.
WITH BON FIRES.
CARE WITH BON FIRES.
Beware of Windy Days, Paved
Streets and All Property.
Babcock Would Have a General
Cleanup Day in Topeka.

With the heating season just arrived.
E. E. Babcock. acting chief of the fire
department in the absence of Chief Will
marth, gives advice to gas users in
Topeka. Chief Babcock is anxious that
every precaution be taken to lower the
dangers OF fires.
The carelessness of gas users in ex-
tending the pipes from their stoves into
the attics. or in between the studding
of a house, the proximity of gas stoves
to woodwork and the rubbish and
leaves burning. has been the cause CT
many fires in Topeka this fall. In past
years fires from this source have cor
stituted a majority of the causes for
the entire fire year.
We are called constantly to fires
caused by stove pipes from gas stoves,
running up into the attic of house
and terminating here" said the assist
ant chief. IN many cases we have
found pipes running up through the
walls of a frame house and ending some
place between the studding. These
pipes become overheated and danger
GUS fire breaks out and burns up
through the house before we are able
to extinguish it and sometimes before
it is discovered.
This is not only dangerous, but it
is against the city ordinances. A mis-
taken idea has been given out that a
gas stOvepipe is not hot enough to
cause fire. In every case a pipe of
this kind must be connected with a
chimney When the pipe goes through
a partition it must be double flued.
We have found places where the pipe
rested on the woodwork and in the
plaStering.
"Gas stoves should be at least one
foot from any woodwork. Just the
other night we were called to a house
where the bathroom was in flames.
Lighting her gas stove, the woman of
the house had prepared herself for the
bath in another room. When she
opened her bathroom door she found
the woodwork in the room burning
fiercely. Gas stoves should be pro-
tected as we protect coal stoves. There
is no provision in the city ordinances
and fire laws that allows anyone to
discriminate.
Il would suggest, as Chief Wilmarth
has done many times, that a general
rubbish day be established in Topeka
We have days to plant trees and all
that sort of thing-why don't the peo-
pie clean up their alleys and their eel
lars of dirt and rubbish. 1t would
prevent many fires.
Leaves should not be burned on
any asphalt streets. Furthermore, they
should not be burned within twenty
five feet of any building. All bon
fires should be built in the day time
and should be watched at all times
with bucket of water at hand Don't
start bonfires on windy days

NATURES CURE FOR
CHRONIC ULCERS

Only by removing the cause can
any chronic Ulcer or Old Sore be
cured. No one will question the
truthfu1ness of this statement The
cause is always from an inward source
never an outward influence, and there
fore the only possible way to get rld
of these places is to take internal
treatment. Pure blood IS the one
unfailirg cure for chronic ulcers;
lust as long as the circulation IS al
lowed to remain in an impure cOnd1-
ton the place will be kept open from
the constant discharge of impurities
into it from the blood. But pure
blood will change this condition and
the flesh tissues will be nourlshed
and made healthy, and then nature
will promptly and permanently heal
the ulcer. S. S. S. is recognized as
the greatest of all blood purifiers and
therein lies its power to cure old
ulcers and sores. It goes into the
circulation, and removes every trace
of impurity or infectious matter, and
so enriches this vital fluid that it
nourishes all flesh tissues instead OF
irritating them with impurities.
When S. S. S. has c1eansed the blood
and the place has healed over it is
not a surface cure, but the ulcer IS
filled in with healthy flesh from the
bottom. Free book and any medical
advice will be sent to all sufferers who
will write US. S. S. S. is for sale at
drug stores.

ENGLISH ATHLETES MAY COME.
Cambridge and oxford Plan American
Trip and Contest.

New York, Nov. Sit is announced
here that oxford and Cambridge uni

KEYED up to their best form.
1t is not known where the match
will be held, but the chances are it will
be on neutral ground somewhere
