Films Will Be Used
To Educate Public
To Stop Fire Losses
Series of Pictures Planned
by National Association
in Effort to Reduce Big
Damage Waste Each Year

The National Fire Pretention Asso-
citation, with headquarters in Boston.
in whose membership virtually all of
the fire underwriting and manufacture
ing associations of the country are
represented, is in possession of reports
which show that in some cities of the
United States the annual fire loss per
other cities where the proper precau-
tions are taken the loss is as low as
50 cents for each person.
Fire loss in the United States last
year was S31700000O, most of which
was preventable. The figures just is
sued have brought to all concerned
national and state governments, manu-
tacturers, property owners, municipal
officials, fire departments, fire insur-
ance underwriters-full realization of
the enormous economic waste which
sooner or later, if permitted to con-
tinue, will bankrupt the country No
other nation in the world labors under
such financial handicap, by reason
of carelessness which can be consid-
cred no less than criminal.
How to get the well established les
sons o. fire prevention before the
whole public has been great problem.
The newspapers and magazines hav>
done and are doing their part. But
something more is needed, and now
the men and organizations in charge
of the work have arranged for a ma
tional motion picture campaign in the
belief that results can be obtained
which will be reflected at once in
American life.
Harry Levey, managing director of
the educational department of the Uni
versal Film Manufacturing Company,
for the various committees and asso-
Citations, is producing series of mo-
ton pictures which cover every phase
OF fire prevention, from the careless
ness Of tobacco smokers to the explo-
sion of dust in grain elevator.
1T is the consensus 0 opinion that
the screen will be effective in this cam
palgn to the extent of many millions
of dollars year. The special films
prepared by Mr.. Levey will be shown
in theaters, of course, for the human
interest element will predominant in
all of them; but the uses to be made
by municipal fire departments, in fac
tories, in stores, in mines, in homes,
will be a guarantee that the lessons If
fire prevention will be universally
taught.
Working with the Bureau of Forestry
of the Department of Agriculture,
the Universal's educational department
will take up the problem of the cigar
and cigarette and sparks from lighted
pipes. This will be done by means of
romance and comedies that will be of
absorbing interest and which will
carry the lessons calculated to limit
if not eliminate entirely the careless
ness of the average American smoker.

CITY PEOPLE AND FARMERS
LEARNING COOPERATION
One Of the Greatest Achievements Of
Farm Labor Activities Is the
Erecting Of Close Relations
Between Farmer and
City Man.

Washington-One of the greatest
achievements of the farm labor activi-
ties conducted by the United States
Department of Agriculture during the
past year in farming sections all over
the country where labor was needed,
was the establishment Of cordial CO.
operation \ and sympathetic under
standing between farmers and local
business men, department specialists
state.
As a result of this cooperation crops
have been harvested by aid of the
business men from cities and towns in
hundreds of localities where large
losses would undoubtedly have result
ed from lack of labor. About $4,000
town and city jewellers helped harvest
in Kansas $4,000 in Nebraska, TO-
900 in Oregon, 10000 in Missouri, 49,
900 in Indiana, $4,000 in Illinois, and
proportionate numbers In practically
all other States. The farmer has thus
learned that local town and city folks
can assist greatly In this emergency
work and has come to look with favor
upon their cooperation. The effect has
been to bring farmer and town resi-
dent into more cordial relations.
| The results achieved along this line
ARE especially helpful toward provid-
ing the harvest labor needed in con-
stantly charging agricultural pro-
gram. Too much emphasis, it is be-
liever, can not be placed upon the
phase of the labor work that has to
do with bringing into c;ose coopera-
ton and alignment all the forces
which have more or less to do with
the labor problem and framing pro-
gram that will eliminate as far as pos
sible the loss due to having an over

Some Maysville Kidney Sufferers Get
Little Rest or Comfort.


There Is little sleep, little rest, lit
tie peace for many sufferer from
kidney trouble. Life Is one continual
round Of pain. You can't rest at night
when there's kidney backache. You
suffer twinges and "stabs" of pain, an
noying urinary disorders, lameness
and nervousness. You can't be COM
Portable at work with darting pains
and binding dizzy spells. Neglect
these ailments and serious troubles
may follow. Begin Dusing Doan's Kid
ney Pills at the first sign Of disorder
Thousands have testified to their
merit
Proof In Maysville testimony.
John j. Bramel, bookkeeper, Wal
nut Street, says: "Doan's Kidney
Pills have been of great bene-
fit to me and in fact, l attribute four
teen years Of my life to them. 1t was
in 1902 that was suffering q great
deal. After long use of Doan's Kidney
Pills, became well and had no bad
effects for many years. Recently.
however, noticed my kidneys were
not acting right and my system was
generally weak. / knew 1t was q re-
turn Of the trouble and l didn't lose
any time in getting box Of Doan's
Kidney Pills at Chanslor's Drug Store.
They again gave me the same good re-
suits and consider them wonderful
medicine"
Mr.. Bramel is only one Of many
Maysville people who have gratefully
endorsed Doan's Kidney Pills. II your
back aches-if your kidneys bother
you, don't simply ask for a kidney
remedy-ask distinctly for DOAN'S
