WOMAN MAKING GOOD

The emancipation of woman is accomplished, and she
is taking her place in all fields. She has always had

other pursuits Now she has entered all branches and it
is well for humanity that she has, for her SKILL her in

Daily we hear of some discovery due to woman's en-
trance into science. 1t who first separated

METAL ASH BARREL IS BEST
Always Danger in the Use of Wooden
Receptacles to Hold the Accumu-
lated Rubbish.

Hot ashes in a wooden barrel are al
most certain to cause disastrous fire
sooner or later The use of an empty
flour or sugar barrel to keep ashes I'M
til the weekly visit of the ashman
may seem an economy but in the long
run it is a costly mistake. IN many
places the fire regulations prohibit this
sort of thing, but there are still in
stances where city and town authori.
ties permit it.
1t is also unwise to use a wooden
barrel for ordinary rubbish, for a spark
in a barrel filled with paper, sweepings
and housecleaning rubbish means dis
aster. A careless maid or thoughtless
child is apt to forget and put hot ashes
in the rubbish barrel. Fer this reason
metal ash barrels are the cheapest.
Galvanized ircn, made in corrugated
form to insure strength, is the popular
material. They will last long time
and will not go to pieces suddenly as
will wooden barrel.
