Miss Heller
Division of Relief

The Red Cross, too, sent its help. "The
Division of Military Relief for Hospi-
tails" is it's official title, but it was all
vested in one single woman, Miss Eu-
genie Heler-white haired, plump, smil-

and humor. Cor" says Miss Heller,

she replied. "That is to say, keeping
him good tempered, writing his letters,
reading them to him when he is too sick
to read them himself, buying for him
any little thing he may need-and many
times filing his last Wishes" she added
thoughtfully.

Matches and Cigarettes

Close to 5000 matches are struck
every second of the twenty-four hours in
the United States, and there is lot of
room for carefulness in doing it. Ten
per cent of the investigated fires in
houses have been found to be caused by
the careless use of matches.
Where do you keep your matches? In

Just how the newly enfranchised

to death because they tried to remove a
burning roast from the oven. Turn the
gas off and throw salt by handfuls on the
blaze. You can remove the salt later and
you will have saved your life as we'll as
the meat.
Kerosene
Maybe you have put kerosene on the
fire many times to hurry it up when you
have slept little too late or have stayed
out too long and want to cook dinner
quickly; but there may come flash and
roar some day, and the agony and death
which follow will give the man who gath
ers statistics one more victim to charge
up to women's carelessness.
No sensible woman ought to have to be
reminded of the danger of filling lamp
at night with another light near at hand,
yet more than 200 women are burned to
death every year in the United States
from just this cause. If lamp takes
fire throw it out of doors if you can do so
quickly, or toss rug or blanket over it
and run for the contents of the flour bar
rel, salt box or baking powder can to
throw over it. Never use sugar, for this
will only add fuel to the flames.
Cleaning Fluids
Don't try to save 10 cents by cleaning
your gloves with gasolene, naphtha or
other cleaning fluid and burn your house
down in the process. Many women do,
and disfgure themselves for life in the
bargain. The annual prey in this coun-
try of home cleaned garments is 5000
homes burned and over 500 women
burned to death, besides twice that num-
Der so injured that they carry ugly scars.
Is it worth it? If you must use cleaning
fluids at least do SO out of doors, and
keep them stored in a metal box outside
the house.
Fire caused in this way should be COW
cred with sand or soda.

the majority of these are the result of
the ignorance or the carelessness Of
women. Do you know that $3.50, 900
worth of property goes up in smoke in
the United States every year, that loss
of $4,000 occurs every ten minutes and
that there is a fire somewhere once in
every minute?
"Well," you ask, what is that to me?"
Just this: That all this expenditure of
100000 a year comes right out of
the pocket of the American citizen. 1t
affects your financial situation just as
surely as does the tax on your land. 1t
affects the cost of everything you eat,
drink and wear. Don't snuggle down in
your chair and say the insurance COM
panies pay for fire losses; insurance com
panies are merely the collectors and dis
tributers of a tax which every wise per-
son pays to them. 1t costs each man,
woman and child in the United States
$3.50 a year to pay for carelessness. Are
you one of the guilty who are paid for?
When house burns down the Fire De-
partment men wager ten chances to one

Burning Fats

The danger spots in every home are
the kitchen stove, the various heating
and lighting appliances, the chimney,
storage places of waste materials and
hot ashes. In our nationwide campaign
for conservation every one is advised to
save and try out all fats, but in doing
this keep close watch, for overheated fat
sputters and splashes and catches fire,
and is a prolific source of trouble
If this should happen to you, however,
don't rush at the pan and try to remove
it-you may set fire to Yourself In
stead, place some flour, salt or sand in a
dipper or small receptacle tied to the
end of long stick and empty it on the fat.
Do not throw it on, for that will make
the burning fat splash all over. And
never throw water on it, for that will
spread the flame wherever the water runs.
