HOW TO STORE WASTE PAPER
Secret Of Safe Keeping Lies In Com.
pactino tho Waste, Says
an Authority.

How discarded papers-which the
makers and consumers Of now stock
are asking us all to save-may be
kept without undue risk of fire il q
question that concerns not only the
industrial economist, but the ordinary
household, says the Boston Herald.
1t should be understood that the fire
hazards from papers properly stored
need be no greater than that from the
woodpile. The secret Of safe storage
lies In compacting the waste as fast
as 1t accumulates. Papers smoothly
packed, as in closed books, or closely
bound, as in a well tied bundle of
newspapers, are difficult to burn even
with intention.
The private housekeeper can use to
good advantage an ordinary meal ash
can, fitted with another can cover
small enough to fit inside, piston fash
ion, acting as both weight and plunger.
II waste basket papers, for instance,
are handled in this way, they may be
kept with no risk. AS newspapers and
magazines accumulate, they should be
piled evenly and tied, like ordinary
bundles, both sidewise and length
wise. II practicable, all papers and
rags should be stored in some out
buildings; II not, discretion can be
used in choosing the safest corner Of
the house cellar, away from heaters
and open lights.
