Advice to Those Whose
House is Going to Burn

If you live in house that
will burn down, it is suggested
by the fire prevention editor of
the Southern Construction News
that you take the followingpre-
cautions:
Pile all your furniture on the
front porch every night before
retiring. This will simplify res
cue work, and avoid break
age. The moving can be done
with more care and delibera-
ton than in case of sudden
awakening when the house is
on fire. Retain the beds in the
house, of course, during the
night together with any other
furniture or equipment that
might be required, such as
medicine chest, stoves, onv
clock, etc.
If the neighborhood is such
that it is not entirely safe to
leave valuables on the front
porch fire-proof shed or mag
azine should be constructed,
secured by good hefty lock.
Stretch a string through the
mouse, one end tied to a nail

DIAZ SCHOOL HOUSE
DESTROYED BY FIRE

Diaz, March Sire, which
originated from a defective
flue, destroyed the high school
building here today while the
students were taking the morn
ing recess. Quick work by the
teachers, Mrs. Eugene Gibson
and Miss Virginia May, saved
the furniture of one of the
rooms. The frame building
burned rapidly. The home of
T. J .Hightower, about block
away, was set on fire by flying
sparks, but the blaze was ex-
tinguished before any damage
was done. The loss of the
school building was covered
by insurance.

gestions are offered:

gestions are offered:
Be positive that all yoar
fiues are absolutely safe. Put
ashes in metal holders only.
Don't permit gasoline to be
used indoors in open vessels
and never fill gasoline stoves
while lighted or with a light or
flame near. Don't leave a fire
in a fireplace or CRATE unat-
tended. Know that your electric
wiring is safe, year by year.
Teach the children the danger
Gf matches and then keep them
out or their reach. Get in the
habit of using safety matches
anyway. Remember stoves need
protection underneath and in
front of walls. Don't allow oily
rags or sweeping compounds
or oily mops to lie around.
Don't let trash and waste pa
per accumulate in the house.
Then use uncommon common
sense all the time and you may
never have a fire.

and the other over a pulley or
spool with tin pail hanging
on the end. Fill the pail with
broken glassware and tin cans.
In case of fire the string will
burn and allow the pail to
drop. This IS a simple and mex
pensive fire alarm if one is not
a too-heavy sleeper. One of
these contraptions should be
installed on both floors if
yours is a two stroy house.
Every night fill an ordinary
wash tub with water and set
il beside your bed where you
will be sure to find it without
delay even without a light, in
case you should be called to
arise in the night by a fire
alarm. If one will make a prac-
tice of this it will be safer to
do without the kind of fire ex-
tinguishers that hang on the
wall ready for use.
If the above directions are
strictly followed one may re-
tire secure in the knowledge
that he has taken a great deal
of pains to tharwt the fire dam

worse than brute, for he

the sanctimonious air, go to

his knees out at prayer, and

fool God. And when he hears

Have you counted them yet? Those
rows and rows of shining glass jars
filed with good things for the win
ter. The pantry shelves are full, so
is the closet under the stairs; some
of us have them down the cellar and
some in the attic.
And over at Washington the Off
cial heads of our country are interes-
ted in these closet, pantry and cellar
storehouses. They want to know
how many of these filled cans there
are in the whole wide country; how
many in California, how many in
Maine; yes, how may in Dorchester
county, from Hurlock to Crocheron.

Gil of Defense is asked to make the

every woman will have her figures
ready. Be prepared to say how
many quarts of canned fruit and
vegetables, how many quarts of pre-

fruit. Nobody is going to grudge
the time to count them, nobody is
going to say, What's the use?"
The million Of home-canners will
make cheerful, loyal count, glad of

Washington, d. c., Oct. II.
Dear Sister:

he Home Economics Division of the
Eood Administration the other day.
Of course, we talked Food Conserya-
ZION. Who doesn't these days" L
vas doubly interested in getting the
thought of an expert so close to
headquarters. and was glad the con-
versation ran to food questions OF
the very moment.
Beginning her program of food
conservation in summer has made it
doubly easy for the housekeeper,"
she commented, apropos of fruits as
an unfailing source OF satisfaction in
making desserts.
1T isn't much of a temptation in
ordinary times for woman to swell
ter over a hot stove for hours in
making a heavy dessert when there
are so many attractive fruit combina
lions possible Therefore, the plea
of the Food Administration for
generous substitution of perishables
Tor foodstuffs that can be sent to our
soldiers works no hardship at all,

That is hardly an objection to be

lions for the sake of that variety

am handing several of them on to
you, Edith, dear; the ones that L
have already tried and found excel
lent.
With apples so plentiful, Apple
Snow specially recommends itself.
Here's the recipe: Whites of three
eggs, three-fourths of a cup of apple
pulp, powdered sugar. Pare, quar-
ter and core four sour apples. Steam
until soft, and rub through a sieve.
There should be three-fourths cup of
pulp. Beat whites of eggs until
stiff, add gradually the apple, sweet
ened to taste, and continue beating.
Pile lightly on glass dish, chill and
serve with boiled custard.
Another fine apple suggestion Civ
en- me was that for baking apples
with nuts or honey. Peel and core
and place in a pan, allowing heap
ing tablespoon of sugar and one
half cup of water to each apple. In
the center of each place a teaspoon
full of chopped nuts, or of honey;
strip of lemon or orange peel, and
over the whole sprinkle cinnamon
and nutmeg. Bake very slowly and
the juice will become jelly-like.
Serve hot or cold.
l find also that there are scores of
delicious fruit desserts that never
before heard of-so many, in fact,
that it is well worth the time of any
real Soldier-W Woman to look them up.
1t is not only a matter of saving
the fcodstuffs we have pledged our
selves to save, but personal econo-
my as well.
Here's one who is strong for the
fruits, both fresh and canned. How
about you?
Your devoted sister,
