Jamestown on a visit. On the train

women soon were on more or less
familiar terms. Both children drank
from the same cup. One was not

days. County physician Jones was
notified and has since discovered

Fire!

Suppose your house and barn
were to burn down tonight. Wha,
would it mean? Wouldn't it be
likely to mean that someone had
been careless?
Here il a portion of a letter | re-
ceived the other day: I'VE intend.
I'd buying a buggy 30 that l might
get away from home sometimes,
hut on November l6 last, our entire
crop, which Lad just been gathered,

suggestions for preventing fire.
Don't forget that matches are

Don't leave the matches where
children can get them.
Dnn't keep matches in paper

Don't pile up waste paper in 8

tacle for burnt matches. In fac,
don't throw matches away careless
ly under any conditions.
Don't forget the baby cannot
catch fire from the fireplace if
few dollars have been invested in q
good strong fender.
Don't hang your clothes near
open fires or stoves.
Don't fill lamps after dark, and
never when lighted.
Don't burn leaves and dead grass
on windy day, or near any build
ings at any time.
Don't forget to have the chin

Don't fail to look twice at any,
thing that looks like fire.
