INSPECT YOUR FLUEs

Every chimney and flue in Kansas
should be inspected carefully before
fires are started this fall. Careless
ness now may cost lives later. De-
fective fues caused 265 fires in Kan
sas last year. No other known cause
produced as many fires or resulted in
a greater loss.
Fire Prevention Day, Monday, Oc-
tober 8, is set apart by proclamation
of the governor as day for setting
things in order for the winter season.
Why not inspect your flues on that
day. And don't stop there. See that
your neighbor inspects his fiues and
puts them in safe condition.
While defective fiues caused an
enormous amount of damage-nearly
quarter of million dollars--stilI
more property was destroyed by the
spreading of fires already started by
the fues and other original causes.
A crack in your neighbours fiue
may destroy your house as well as
his own.
Do little missionary work. Help
the State Fire Marshal to secure q
general observance of Fire Preven-
ton Day. You will be abundantly re-
warded in the added safety to your
home and business.

name, given as a premium with each
sale of specs. A receipt was given
and everything seemed perfectly
straight. However, City Marshal
Gere CHANGED to overhear them at
work and did not feel that their gen.
erous proposition accorded with their
general appearance. He looked over
some of the receipts given and found
that they did not specify the amount
that had been paid Their line of talk
did not sound just right, either, and
the officer decided that the town
would be better off without them. He
told them to quit business and to re-
fund what money they had already
taken, and when this was done for
them to beat 1t out of town. They
seemed glad enough to comply and
were soon on their way. 1t is since
learned that they have worked other
towns, and it is said that no papers
or magazines ever show up.-Stafford
Courier.

EXPERIMENTATION DAY

October 9th has been set apart the
nation over as Fire Prevention Day.
The date was selected because it
comes at very desirable season Of
the year for fire prevention work,
also because 1t is the anniversary Of
the disastrous Chicago fire, the first
great metropolitan confiagration in
the history of the nation.
The Chicago fire is typical exam
pie of the far-reaching results that
sometimes arise from carelessness in
little things.
1t is hoped that the observance of
Fire Prevention Day will be universal
in Kansas this year. In addition to
the main features Of the day there
are many little things that can be
done to make the occasion profitable
to all.
Schools in the larger towns might
prepare a fire prevention exhibit for
that day as part of the regular work
of the chemistry or manual training
departments. Samples of fire resist
ing materials, such as roofing, wire,
glass, etc., can be secured without ex-
pense in almost any town If applica-
ton to the local dealers is made in
time to enable them to secure the
desired articles from the manufacture

display Of their fiere resisting
wares, and all persons handling
safety devices for preventing fire
could follow the same policy. They
would find it profitable to themselves
in the advertising of their goods as
well as instructive to the public.
