DANGER IN OILY RAGS.

Oil soaked rags, mops, clothes or
paper, when put away in an air. tight
or nearly 80, space, generate gas
and spontaneous combustion follows.
Oil soaked things are therefore OF
considerable danger to life and prop
erty for spontaneous combustion and
serious fires are just as liable to oc-
cur in the dead of night when all are
asleep and helpless as they are at
any other time. Instances of disas-
trous blazes from this source are not
few and Ottumwa saw one within the
past fortnight though fortunately it
did not prove as destructive as it
might easily have done.
If you find it necessary to keep any
article about the house or
barn or garage or factory or store, see
to it that it is not in confined space.
Oily things are safest when in the open
where there is no danger of fire
starting surreptiously and doing great
damage before it is discovered.
