The needs Of the Nation during the

our financial and material resources be
guarded against waste no less carefully

habits Of economy developed under TIE
stress of war conditions will help to
check the wasteful carelessness which
has manifested itself in this country in
IN annual preventable fire loss amount
ing to nearly two hundred million dol
lars.
Just as the public health service is not
satisfied only to cure disease but also
concerns itself actively for the preven-
ton Of disease so the State insurance
department is undertaking special
campaign for the elimination Of pre-
ventable fires.
For the purpose OF calling attention
to this important program. hereby
