Day.

The conservation, of human life is
the noblest work of man. EVERY
agency directed along this avenue
should receive the constantzan loyal
support of every resident of this
state.
Too much death and devastation by
fire is directly traceable to Careless
ness and negligence; much. of the
destruction of life and property is
chargeable to preventable. causes.
The daily press is constantly re-
cording deaths and injuries by ac-
cident and fire, and the destruction
of valuable property through the
ravages of flames. The losses thus
occasioned constitute an absolute
waste and destruction of resources
of our people, and the fact that these
losses are largely preventabIe calls
for serious consideration andatae ap-
plication of every possible remedy.
Let US educate our citizens to avoid
unnecessary dangers, which are liable
to cause injury or death. sx5tgfsssss
| Let US reduce fire. hazards and pro-
mote the general health by, the re-
moval of rubbish from all premises.
Let heating apparatus, electrical
wiring and chinneys be Inspected and
put in condition for winter service.
Let public buildings, private insti-
tutions, hotels, hospitals; factories
and theatres be looked overland such
necessary changes made as will fur
Ether safeguard the Lives of occupants.
Let local authorities give attention
to the matter of better. building regu-
| lations, the consideration of better fire
prevention ordinances and fire fight
ing equipment.
Let fire drills be held in public in
stitutions, factories, schools; let
teachers instruct their pupils through
short talks and proper programs con-
cerning the dangers of fire accidents
and simpler means of fire and acci-
dent prevention
I, therefore, Frank B. Willis, Gov
ernor of the State of Ohio, in order
to aid in arousing the people to a
vivid sense of fire and accident dan.

But I'm not surprised, the way he
went at it,, :
He twisted my. neck, .unjointed my

Pulled my legs literally speaking,
Then up and. down my spinal cord.
Pulling and pushing and twisting aid
