Chief Quinn Calls
Attention To Fire
Prevention Rules

Saturday, November 2, has been Of
ficially designated as Fire Prevention
Day" in West Virginia; and in CON
nection with the observance Of it,
Chief Quinn, of the Fire Department,
this morning issued the following sug-
gestions:
How to Keep Cool.
First of all, let us keep our heads.
We must act quickly, of course, but
excitement may make us do exactly
the wrong thing. 1t is not easy to keep
from getting excited, but there is one
way: it is by studying it all out in
advance, when there is no fire, and
deciding just what should be done in
such a case Then we shall not need
to stop and think if we find ourselves
confronted by sudden danger. After
all, it is simple enough; there are only
few rules to remember.
Let us see. We have already MOTTO
ed that most fires are small in the be-
ginning; therefore the time to put
them out is at once, before they have
a chance to spread. How? By means
of an extinguisher, if there be one
within reach, as there should be in
every home. There are various types
of hand fire-extinguisher on the mar
ket; all houses should be equipped
with some good type, placed at con
venient points, within plain sight and
easy reach, and every member of the
family should be taught how to use
them. Fire may break out suddenly;
it generally takes one entirely by sur
prise In the hurry of the moment one
must know in advance exactly what
to do.
And then remember that whether
water or an extinguisher is used, the
fire should always be attacked at its
base, the place where the flames start.
1t is the burning material, instead of
the flames themselves, which should
be drenched or smothered If water
is used, and the blaze is still a small
one, it is generally more effective to
throw on the water little at a time
instead of all at once. Some small
blazes can be beaten out with broom
or a coat

ness and justice towards all candi-
dates for public office; and this, of
course. would preclude one in choos-
ing between candidates, from allow
ing idle rumors and groundless in
nuendoes to control his actions. In
this spirit l have looked into the
rumors mentioned in this Ash letter
with the determination, if l found
them to be true, of opposing Colonel
Watson in his candidacy with such
power as / command; but l am thor
oughly satisfied that the alleged re-

are. absolutely false, and that, for any

Retail merchants who put in stock
q supply Of ready-mixed Victory flour
will have preference with the buyers
Of flour for home use.
This will not only save the grocer
time in weighing. and wrapping the
-four, but will actually save him
money in wrapping paper, twine,
etc, and the customary waste in
handling -four. In other words, he
makes the trade and delivers his
goods with one transaction, where
otherwise 1t would require two.
The housewife likewise saves time,
for she would be required to wait
longer at the store while two pack
ages were being prepared for her,
and then she would have to mix the
flour after she got it In her kitchen,
process that requires time and
some thought.
So it will be seen that the Victory
flour will become one of the best
sellers in short time.

Some Martinsbure People Have
Learned That Neglect is Dangerous.
The slightest symptom OF kidney
trouble is far too serious to be over
looked. It's the sma,,, neglected
troubles that so often lead to serious
kidney ailments. That pain in the
small" of your back; that urinary
irregu,arity; those headaches and
dizzy spells; that weak, weary, worn
out feeling, may be natures warning
of kidney weakness. Why risk your
life by neglecting those symptoms?
Reach the cause of the trouble while
there yet is time-begin treating your
kidneys at once with tried and pro-
ven kidney remedy. No need to ex-
periment-Doan's Kidney Pills have
been successfully used in thousands
OF cases Of kidney trouble for over so
years. Doan's kidney Pills are used
and recommended throughout the ci-
vilized world. Endorsed at home
Read this iMartinsburg testimony.
Mrs. G. Kindle, 104 S. High Street,
says: "My kidneys have become
weak and j have been greatly both
cred on this account. My back has
ached. too, and has become lame
across the small of it. 1 have suffer
ed severely at times, but have always
found box or so of Doan's Kidney
Pills, which i procure at Shepherds
Drug Store, sufficient to cure the at
tack OF kidney trouble"
Mrs. Kindie is only one of many
Martinsburg people who have CRATE
fully endorsed DoanIs Kidney Pills.
If your back aches, if your kidneys
bother you don't simply ask for a
kidney remedy-ask distinctly for

Mrs. Kindle had the remedy backed
by home testimony. Coo at all stores.
