flame finds ready food or whicn I,
Nv great and grow, and another
< wiped out.
Such simple causes destroy thous-
and of homes in this country ever,
year. But these fires are due to
carelessness and nothing else. It is
carlessness to permit the rubbish to
accumulate just as much as it is for
Willie to drop the match. 1t is Just
as careless to build q fire trap as it
is to burn one through lack of pro-
per precaution.
If you are going to build house
far removed from town or city's fire
protection see that it is built safely.
The cost is little more maybe, but
the chance of its destruction is less
ened nightly.
Do not store damp hay. It is a
prolific cause of fire. In test made
out in an open field, matches placed
in the center of heystack that had
not been throughly cured, started
that haystack burning in less than
three hours.
An oily rag tossed under a kitch-
en- sink may begin to smoke and
then burst into flame, while the one
who threw it there is sleeping. Spon-
taneous combustion starts many an
unexplained fire. Matches should be
kept in metal covered receptacles
and high enough from the floor to
keep children getting to them.
Every farmhouse should contain.
at least, rudimentary means of
fighting fire when it starts. there
should be small hand extinpuishers
that a child or woman can use.
There should be water pals in the
entry way and the pals should not
be used for scrubbing floors, that is
why round bottom pals are better
for fire use than flat bottom pals.
Round bottom pals cannot be car
ried about and used. Eevery room
above the ground fluoor should be
provided with at least a rope, it not
portable fire escape, there should
be ladder outside of the house long
enough to reach the ridge pole of
the house.
These things are inexpensive, but
they may mean saving your home
from destruction. Saturday, October
9. is Fire Prevention Day, anniver-
sary Of the great Chicago fire. See
that on that day your home is free
from rubbish ana that you have
some means Of protecting yourself
from the flames.

HOSPITAL LOSES TAX VERDICT.
Decision settles the Contention Of
POLL vs.. Polk.

The Appellate Division of the supreme
Court yesterday affirmed "A judgment OF
the lower court assessing the Manhattan
Maternity Hospital for unpaid taxes.
Thus the court upheld the contention OF
Frank l.. Polk as Corporation Counsel
and ruled against the tand taken by
the hospital officials on advice given
them by Frank L.. Polk as their private
counsel.
The institution. which was established
in Sixtieth street. near Second avenue.
through n gift Of 5000. 900 from Moses
Taylor. who had been bequeathed the
amount for such a purpose by his father,
Henry A.. G.. Taylor. was directed to pay
assessments or its real estate for the
years 1908 20 1907 inclusive.
Ii was explained that Mr.. Polk. NJ,
secretary Of the hospital and its at
torney. had advised the hospital board
OF directors TO leave the property In the
name Of Moses Taylor. II the property
had been in the name OF the hospital
during the five years it was conceded
there would hav been no question OF its
