A FEW SUGGESTIONS.
Alarm by Telephone: Call central.
Say: There is a fire at such street
and number. BE explicit; say direc-
tion, street and number. Example:
There is fire at 520 A street, north
west. In case you do not know the
ner. Example: There is a fire near
the corner of Sixth avenue and A
street. northwest. DO not get excited.
talk in your natural tone of voice, and
do not hang up the phone until cen
tral reports your message.
To Merchants, Hotel and Tenement
House Owners and Proprietors.
DO not deposit waste paper or other
refuse under stairways, in vacant
rooms or area ways or in front of fur
mace or boiler fire box, inspect your
building at least once a week, and see
that these suggestions are rigidly OBJ
served
Never allow fire escapes to be OBJ
Istructed by boxes or anything else un-
der any circumstances.
The fire department has the RIGHT
OF WAY on all streets. When seen
or heard approaching, all street cars
should stop and all vehicles should
drive close to curb. Do not attempt
to turn into a side street unless you
hug the curb, as it may be the street
and block into which the run is being
made.
Never tie your horses to fire hy-
drant. and never pile material in such
a way as to obstruct one.
In residence districts: DO not clear
your lot of high grass and weeds by
burning it off on windy days. 1t is
safer at all times to cut the grass and
weeds and burn them in pile which
can be watched and controlled.
Use of gasoline: Never fill tank
when stove is burning hot. Never four j
ont in a closed room, either for filling
a tank or for cleaning purposes. Al
wavs have open windows. Never pour
or use by lamp or gas light. BE care
full that your coal oil can is not filed
with gasoline or your gasoline can
filled with coal Oil. 1t is cheaper 10
buy a new can and label it than to
take any chances.
Never put up a stove without hay-
ing the fue examined and thoroughly
cleaned.
DO not deposit ashes in a wooden
box or against any wooden building,
clubhouse or fence.
DO not let children play with match
es: keep them away from their reach
if possible.
Whenever d gasoline stove is out of
order. do not attempt to use it until it
is repaired by a competent mechanic.
To gas users: When you detect a
hole in pipe, fill the hole or crack tenn
porarily with common laundry soap,
and send for a plumber or gas filter
at once. Never try to locate leak with
match or other exposed flame.
would warn every one against the
use of rubber tubes for feed pipes to
stoves. This is very dangerous to
property and lives The insurance
people strictly forbid the use OF the
rubber pipe. In talking with an insur-
ance agent recently in regard to the
rubber pipes, he said: Il have no
doubt that if my company knew of any
rubber pipes being used by any of It's
policy holders, their policy would be
cancelled" So you see that in case OF
fire where the rubber pipe is used the
chances are that you could not re-
cover anything from the insurance.
To users of electric lights: Never
tie any decorations of any infamma-
HE material around electric light
