RULES TO PREVENT FIRES.

Here are some instructions for the
prevention OF fires:
Don't put ashes in wooden boxes or
barrels; use metal cans.
Don't throw hot ashes against the
fences or buildings.
Don't fail to burn all rubbish. and
don't leave it until the fire is out.
Don't use coal oil to start a fire.
Don't polish stove while it is hot.
Don't I'LL an oil stove after dark,
and never I'LL one while it is lighted.
Don't permit rubbish, paper and
greasy rags to accumulate.
These rules were taken from an eX-
change, and to them we would like to
add, do not carry too much insurance,
and keep the mice and the matches a
safe distance from each other. -Moul-
