"a Timely Suggestion.

For The Advocate.
After reading in your paper the
terrible accident to the Moles,, orth
family near Mt. Airy, the thought
came to my mind that it was time
something should be done to avoid
similar accidents in the future in
cases where a hot water system is
installed in the kitchen range. 1t
appears to me that there should be a
safety valve attached to such a plant
that would relieve the pressure and
at the same time notify the members
Of the household who might be pres
ent in the same room, that something
was wrong. % it could be rem-died
before the tank or reservoir should
explode D. it did in this case with
such disastrous results.
AZ IL very true that an occurrence
OF this kind does not happen very
often, but one does not wish tU ex-
perience such at any time.
Hence I think that 1T would b.
well for all who have such "a system
to apply some remedy ii have sug-
gested which might serve to avoid
death and destruction i'm many a
home I'm the future.
