FIRE PREVENTION
IFor the Gazette)

4 4 # 4 :.
Fifteen thousand persons were burn
ed to death in the United States last
year.
Property loss, by lire, last year,
reached the enormous total OF $780,
100000, more than double that of any
previous year in our history.
The United States half billion dol
Lar fire loss in 1920 does. not include
the stupendous destruction Of fores-
try, 80 per cent of which is due to
carelessness.
The national fire waste, amounting
to about s1,500,000 day, is paid for
by every citizen of the nation, for
the cost of insurance goes into thu
price of each article to the consumer.
One of the appalling facts relating
to fire prevention efforts is the dis
covery that only one man out of ev'
200 has applied the knowledge OF
safety he has used in his factory Il
his home.
Because of carelessness or thought
lessness more than five public schools
burn each day in the United States.
Increase fire losses require lncreas.
ed insurance. rates. The reduction Of
preventable fires would, pnquestion-
ably, bring reduction in insurance
rates.
Fire loss, which experts declare
could be amazingly reduced by the
elimination of carelessness and
thoughtlessness, brings the largest
ard most unnecessary leakage OF the
country's resources.
More than 10000 forest fires were
caused by campers last year and 70
per cent Of these were due to smokers
carelessness.
A survey by the National Board of
Fire Underwriters has shown that
more than 80 per cent Of the school
buildings in the United States are
more unsafe, either strueturally or IN
maintenance, than the Collinwood,
Ohio, school, which when it burned.
May i, 1908, caused the death Of III
pupils and 8 teachers.

Do you regularly anticipate a
refreshing sleep? Or do you
dread going to bed, only to stare,
sleepless, at the walls? The
difference between sleeping and
staring is simply a matter OF
nerves.
When your nervous system
is in sound condition, you are
certain to sleep well. But when
YOUR nerves are worn out and
beyond your control, your rest
is broken and your awakening
leaves you languid and irritable.
Doctors know that much OF
the nerve disorders result from
tea and coffee drinking. The
drugs in these drinks over-stlmu-
late, often causing the serious ills
which result from disturbing the
regular bodily functions. 1t is for
your health's sake that many
doctors now say you should quit

the delicious neal-tirne beverage
instead! III flavor if is much like
coffee.
Postum is fundamentally a
nerve strengthened because it
lets you get sound, restful sleep.
Postum is a skilfully-ulade cereal
beverage, and the secret of its
popularity is its protection to
health and its delicious favor.
Ask your grocer for Postum.

age in place of tea or coffee for
