the February Furni-

Time does go fast
when you're enjoying
yourself.
From every point of
view-ours and yours
it is the most inter
esting Furniture Sale
we ever had. And we've
had 81 other Furniture
Sales to compare 1t

ones.
1t is worth buying a

of furniture, to sell 1t
to people who appreci-
ate it so much.
NF course it's the
~ largest Sale in
the world. That makes
it interesting, unique,
worth attending, per
haps, as a spectacle.
But that is not the
reason it's a Sale
worth buying in. Nei-
ther the public nor we

cause there are $1,000

The answer is, Sam

furniture which has
made Wanamaker Fur
niture Sale famous all
over the world.
So if we are proud
and pleased-and we
shall say candidly that
we are-it is not so
much because of the
way the people crowd

FIRE PREVENTION BUREAU ISSUES
WARNINGS ALL SHOULD OBSERVE

Use safety matches. If you must
use common matches keep them in a
metal tI9x with a metal cover out of
reach of children.
Be careful ef-% stove and metal pol
ishes. Many of them are inf1amma-
BILE. Do not use them near a flame.
Do not use gasoline or naphtha for
cleaning in your home. The vapors
given out when mixed with air are
explosive.
Keep your kerosene can and kerr
osene stove in good condition--always
clean.
Never hang clothing or clothes back
of the stove, or place them too near
the stove.
Never take a candle, match or lamp
into a clothes closet.
Extinguish matches, cigarettes, or
cigars before throwing them away.
Be careful about putting too many
electric lights or motors on the wires
in your house. Loose fixtures and
parts are a fire menace. When re-
pairs are necessary call an electri-
clan.
These warnings issued by the Fire
Prevention Bureau are necessary and
should be carefully observed.

The Fire Prevention Campaign this
year is aimed to reach every home
and a tremendous effort is to be made
to impress upon the minds of all the
people the great Importance of pre-
venting CONGREGATIONS. PIacards are
being universally and conspicuously
displayed to assist in bringing this
campaign to the attention of the pub
lie.
Next week there will be brief talks
in the different theatres and in all
places of amusement. In the schools
the matter will be brought to the at
tention of the children by different
members of the Fire Department. The
danger of fire due to carelessness will
be specially emphasized.
One of the chief reasons for urging
greater care in the prevention of fires
at this time is that labor and mate
rails needed for the purposes of the
war must be conserved as far as pos
sfble, as we'll as to stop the waste that
fire causes. Every person can help
nightly by carefully observing every
precaution possible and seeing to it
the fire hazards do not exist either
in the home or the place of business.
Chief Daniel Johnson and the Fire
Prevention Bureau offer the following
suggestions to guard against fire:
Keep your cellars free from rubbish
and waste paper.
Place no combustible material under
stairways.
Be sure your stove and furnace
pipes are in good condition. Have
~. fz1J
starting your fires.
Keep smoke pipes, heater pipes, and
gas jets away from wood work. Pro
tect the ceiling over your furnace.
Do not let your furnace become
ioverheated.
| Never put ashes in wooden barrel
Do not try to thaw out frozen water
pipes with a flame or gasoline torch
Wrap the frozen part of the pipe with
cloth and pour hot water on it.
| If you have paints or oils. in. the
Eceuar place them in a metal box with
Ia natal cover.

Our President has become the lead

the luxury of criticism.
Bulgaria an Illustration.
"As illustrative of the folly of the
critics of the President, 1 have only
to remind you that before Bulgaria
surrendered, Senator Lodge, moved by
vociferous demands from Colonel
Roosevelt, spoke in support of a res
olution demanding that we declare
war upon Bulgaria. Within As hours
from that moment, Bulgaria had sur
rendered. Within the last ten days
Colonel Roosevelt has been demand
ing that we declare war upon Turkey
and now Turkey is upon the verge OF
surrender. A declaration of war upon
either nation would have had no in
f1uence upon the course of the war
1t would have been idle gesture which
would have imperiled the lives OF

of force. They are the Prussians of
America. There has not been a mo-
ment during this whole trying period
when they have not been prepared to
magnify the smallest mistake and they
have not hesitated to criticise the
President whenever an opportunity
presented itself so to do. Their chief
spokesman are Roosevelt and Lodge.
1t was only few weeks ago that Col.
Roosevelt demanded an old-world
type of universal military service,
large standing army and ornaments
SO large that never again, as he said,
would any nation dare to look cross
eyed at u.s." That is the doctrine of
the Hun-the sentiment of the Kaiser
This was the policy of Germany for
40 years and it finally Embossed this
horror upon the world; and humanity
has paid for it in blood and tears and
endless, illimitable suffering. I, for
one, would consider the war lost and
our sacrifices in vain unless there
can come from it a peace that all civ
ilization will support and which will
make unnecessary the mighty alarma-
| ments which have burdened and ter
rorized the world for generations.
Lodge Also SCOTS.
Senator Lodge also thinks he I'M
derstands this great business better
| than the President. He, too, SCOTS at
| the Presidents IA terms of peace
| which have already been approved by
the leading statesmen of the Allied

that great issues are at stake in this
election. If these forces I have de-

lasting peace will be seriously i'm

the President-they want to guide and

! the power to destroy him. If they
| had their way, they would make a
peace which would not last a genera

peace of revenge and reprisal than
they are in a peace of justice and

vember, in the least degree, dim the
prestige of America or impair her in
fuence in the councils of the nations
of the earth. Our President is the
leader of a nation of peace-loving
people, who are reluctant to shed hu-
man blood, but when once aroused are
invincible crusaders.
America Impotent?
when war with Germany seemed
imminent, the expert military au-
.thorfties of that country proclaimed
that America would be impotent IN
such a struggle, and that nothing that
we could do would affect the result.
They said that we would not be able
to recruit an army; they SAID tild'
even if we wcre~able to gather sum-
cient manpower together we Woulo DC
unable to convert our troops into SOL
diers inside of two years; they salo
that even if we were able to get an
army we had no officers and coulo
create none who would be able lo
train or lead the army; they said that
even if we accomplished these ire
mendous tasks we would never be able
to transport any considerable number
across the seas; that we did not have
the ships; that we could not secure
them, and that even if We obtft ned
them the U-hoats would deNroy
them; they said that even il our
troops landed in France that we
would be unable to supply them with
food, clothes and ammunition; they
said that even if our men got INTO the
battle line the trained troops of Ger
many would destroy them. This was
the solemn opinion of men who hac
made war a study for more than
generation.
Prussianism Defeated.
'Under the leadership of Presiden
Wilson these difficulties have beer
overcome, and the civilian troops Of
America, with only a few months
training, have met and defeated the
| best troops that Prussia could put II
the field. Terror has supplanted con
fidence in the breasts of the enemy

land no longer industriously drive

overthrow their military leaders ant
obtain peace upon the terms lait
down by the President. The victory

to be the important questions of the
hour. The President is far wise1
