How to Strike Safety Matches.


1t is a common thing with smokers
for their safety matchboxes to give
out on the striking side before all the
matches are used up. II they will keep
in mind just one thing. this can always
be averted. The safety striking part
Is very quick on trigger. and needs
only slight contact, instead of long
scratch. Simply snap the end of the
match quickly for about quarter Of
an inch on the striking surface. In
this way the outside may always be
kept fresh and disable. The long scratch
of course causes the match to ignite
before contact ceases, and the surface
is actually burnt up.
