accumulate in or near buildings. -
Gasoline. naphtha and other volatile
oils should not be kept in buildings, and
used only with extreme care.
Gas brackets should have rigid Ak
lures: where necessary to use swinging
brackets all exposed woodwork should
be protected with sheet metal, leaving
an air space. Metal bells should be
placed over gas jets on low ceilings.
Steam pipes should be kept clear from
all wood and other combustible mate
rial.
Open fue holes should be protected
with sheet iron, or, better, be bricked
up.

tus is in good working order.

Alleges Incapacity and Rapacity.

Il cannot go with with free trade
democracy. which has shown it's in
capacity. and neither can l go with
the republican party, which has shown
It's rapacity. utter lack of principle
and total subservience to those who
would create the classes In America as
against the masses.
Il stand firmly and squarely as a pro-
gressive, and believe the greatest ben
eft that can accrue to this nation will
be two great national parties. the con-
scryatives and the prosressives. both
along broad patriotic lines. absolutely
free from sectionalism Of any charac-
ter. permitting the states to work out
their own problems. and do team work
for the Upbuildins Of the nation. Such
parties would attract to them the best
and brainiest citizens of America, who,
without the sacrifice Of one iota of
principle. could take such stands on
the tariff and other great matters as
their patriotic judgment mi ght dictate.
There are no GermanA American,

PICTURE SUGGEST:
ED BY joKAIfs NOVEL, 5"THE ]!
PLuTocRATs" n Z,

The Nelson theatre will show The
Iron WIN, Tuesday afternoon and
evening. The picture Is suggested BY
'Jokai's novel The Plutocrats. There
IS little pretense of realism In the
characters introduced or in the situa-
tions confronting them, but rather
simple appeal to the universal liken;s
ing for a tale OF love and adventure
in which t'after long time, they get
each other and live happily ever af;
ter" The sitttngs ARE particularly
good, and the cast well balanced.
Vera Sisson makes an attractive
heroine in distress. She is Henrietta,
the daughter OF a stern father who has
no consideration for her love AFFAIR
with young army lieutenant, when
a baron in appearance, asks for her
hand. True to the practice of stern
parents since time whereof the mind OF
man runneth not to the contrary. the
father locks Henrietta In her room.
declaring he will keep her there until
she promises to marry the baron. Fin
ally the prosecuted daughter marrtes
the baron who reallyis a notorious
bandit 1t Is easy to guess that marri-
age is unhappy for all concerned. and
fortunately is ended soon by the death
of The imposter. OF course Henrietta
narries the lieutenant who has been
faithfully waiting.
The smaller parts Of the picture
have been we'll assigned, and the pic
ture as whole will win approval.
