'AVOID OVERHEATING, . ADVICE TO OWNERS

Since statistics show that losses from fires in homes mount every time a cold spell comes, here is a safety reminder: It is important that overheating ibe avoided and that all heating equipment, chimneys, flues and vents be checked for defects. Spark arresters’ will aid in preventing fires on combustible roofs—but a safe thing to do is cover the roof | with materials that will not burn, such ‘as asbestos cement es.
