FIRE PREVENTION DAY"
IS NAMED BY GOV. DIX
All Residents of New York
State Called on to Take
Precautions October 9.

ALBANY, n. y, September 27-An
executive proclamation issued by Gov.
Dix calls upon all residents of New
York state to observe October as
state fire prevention day" The procla-
nation says:
The subject of the conservation of
our resources has, of late, deservedly
received the most careful attention.
In line with this policy there can
be no doubt Of the imperative need of
the study of fire waste with a view to
it's prevention or reduction.
THE fire losses and cost of fire pre-
vention in the United States amount
annually to s4S0,000,000, or more than
the total production of gold, silver, cop
per and petroleum. The equivalent OF
Ia dollar home is de-
stroyed every ten minutes. In one year
1,449 persons lost their lives and 1864
We're injured in fires. At least 65 per
cent of this loss is caused by careless
ness or ignorance.
Urges General Cleaning Up.
For the reasons herein set forth, in
order to rouse our people to u vivid
sense of fire dangers, ard induce them
to take a more active interest in the
subject, / hereby proclaim October {?
as state fire prevention day. and
earnestly recommend that our people
observe it by general cleaning up of
all rubbish and setting of their heating
apparatus and chimneys in proper con-
dition for winter use
Let all public and private institu-
tons he looked over on that 0aS: let
fire drills be held in institutions. fac

lection of the milk and water supplies OF
the country. 1t has been estimated that
the American citizen consumes twenty
three gallons of milk annually. Since
milk is the principal diet of the sick
AGED and the infant members of society
the three classes most susceptible to in
lection from intestinal diseases-its pro-
lection has always been one OF the first
aims of the sanitariap And 10 other
sanitary measure that the science of
preventive medicine has Yet devised has,
when fully enforced, yielded the great
returns in public health that have come
through milk-purity regulations.
Water publication has been attended by
a decline of epidemic disease wherever it
has been attempted in cities. 1t has
been estimated that the construction of
the Chicago drainage canal has saved
Chicago $1,000 bereaYed homes and over
800 900 doctors bills in a single decade.
Cities which derive their water supply
from mountain springs which are guarded
from pollution usually have death rate
from intestinal diseases of all kinds less
than half as great that in cities which
have no fresh protected supply. European
cities are far and away ahead of the
American cities in this respect, and il has
almost reached that point where a man
who takes typhoid fever has a case
against the municipality for not protect
ing him. There is not even one exception
TO the rule that has obtained all over the
world that pure milk and pure water have
added much to the health OF the commu-
nifty which has secured them.

DIXIE GLAODENS BARNES
Southern Delegates Assure Him
THEY'LL Stand by Root.

Chairman Barnes Of tho Republican State
Committee was in particularly good
humor yesterday. There were two things
that pleased him. One vas the way in
which tho delegates in Kings County had
announced that they would stick to Presi-
dent Taft The other was that in spite OF
an the talk about Southern delegates flop
ping TO Roosevelt all tho replies he had
received from them TO his question as TO
whether they could be counted on to vote
for Senator Root as temporary chairman Of
the Chicago convention were favorable.
Most Of them We're couched in the strong
est possible language, and several Of the
delegates went 50 far as to express their
opinion that the nomination OF Mr.. Roose-
welt was not only undesirable, but would
be a positive menace to the country.
These replies are being carefully tabu-
lated and preserved. Chairman Barnes will
have them with him at Chicago, ready TO
be produced In case any of the signers
threatens to go back on his promise.
