SAFETY FIRST IN THE HOME.
If you live in one of the larger
cities, or along the line OF one of
the big railroads, you have doubtless
seen many small and interesting
posters within the last year or so
urging safety first.
Some OF them warn passengers
about stepping on and off trains, and
tell just how many fatalities occur
each year because of carelessness OF
this sort Others warn automobile
drivers and others warn pedestrians.
They are all based on a study Of the
causes of preventable accidents, and
they all urge caution and care TO
prevent just this type Of accident.
Now why not have some safety
first posters in your own home?
In almost every household there
are many preventable accidents,
usually not serious, but still uncOm-
forta BILE, and sometimes dangerous.
They could be prevented if each
member of the family would take
precautions Of the simplest sort.
However. We all get in a rut. and
forget how dangerous many Of the
little things we must do day after
day really are-when they are not
done carefully. So, if your family
has become careless, make some
safety-first posters and tack them up
about the house until they become
careful again. Here are some sug-
gestions.
South Bend news-times. (South Bend, Ind.) 1913-1938, 1917-11-05

Never light the gas stove oven
without opening the oven door. II
you think you light it, but don't
and the door is closed, there may be
an explosion when the gas comes in
contact with the flame.
Never turn down a gas burner
without looking carefully to see that
you do not by mistake turn it out,
and so leave escaping gas.
Never go through a swinging door
if some one is on the other side of
il without announcing your COM
ing. A very serious burn resulted
from mother who pushed hastily
through a door Of this kind and ran
into her young daughter, who held
a pitcher of hot water in her hands.
A collision resulted, and the hot
water was splashed over the young
girl.
Never merely turn off the current
from an electric iron, toaster. etc,
but unscrew the plug. You may
think you have turned off the cur
rent. but you can only be sure by
unscrewing the plug.
Never leave anything on the
stairs. Someone might trip over it
and go headlong down the steps
with unfortunate results.
There are many more safety-first
cautions that will come into the
mind of any housekeeper.
