CLEAN UP TO PREVENT FIRES.

Clean up your home and your place
of business, get all the rubbish out,
see that your chimneys are free from
SCOT and that your electric light and
gas installations are in proper order.
This is the message which the Chi
cago Safety Council of the Chicago AS
ISOLATION OF Commerce is sending to
every part of the city in connection
with Fire Prevention Week, which be-
gan at 1901 o'clock on Monday morn
ing and will end at midnight next Mon
day The message is being carried
through the newspapers, the schools,
churches and practically every civic
and social organization in the Chica-
go district.
Chicago now has an average week
ly fire loss of $226,923. Every tax
payer and every citizen has to help
stand this terrific loss. But it can be
cut down by proper cooperation as
was shown during mo Fire Week
last year, when the average weekly
fire loss was reduced from $25O,OO0
to $124,0OO by a campaign carried on
by the Safety Council.
Most fires start in the home. They
endanger the lives of women and chill
dren and experience has proven that
seventy-five per cent of them are due
to carelessness. Now is the time OF
the year to clean up your home and
remove all fire hazards before the
coming of winter.
