BY s. W. IuOIIsh, state Fire Marshal.

II has been declared that an ounce
OF prevention is worth pound OF cure.
II is Equally true that an ounce OF FIRE
prevention is worth ten pounds OF FIRE
lighting.
The man who is constantly on the
alert TO ward OF fire has a faith that
is far stronger than has the man who
Is careless with his property and who
depends upon the zeal OF fire fighting
companies and the number OF pounds
OF water pressure maintained by the
waterworks.
Keep your premises free from filth.
Keep them free from trash. Keep
them insured against destruction by
your care. rather than to trust solely
TO your insurance policy and to the
powers OF firemen and their fire fight
ing machinery.
\ A pail OF smoke ascending from your
property as II goes 10 feed the NAV
Of the fire god can have no silver
lining. II is a black cloud and In nine
cases out OF ten leaves a black mark
on your conscience.
Don't save all your energy TO fight
fires with; use some Of II TO prevent
fires.
