Our Fire Loss In an era when conservation is imperative, because of reduced production and extraordinary demand, it behooves us to prevent the destruction of material which is valuable in itself and doubly so when it has been assembled into a structure, a machine, or a commodity of any sort.

Our fire loss is stupendous. No country in the world exceeds us in the number of fires and the loss which follows. Other nations stand aghast at our negligence and unconcern. It- is estimated that 87 per cent of the national waste

from fires is due to carelessness. Only 18 per

cent can be attributed to causes extraneous to a

praventible one.

Richmond has been exceedingly fortunate in having had no big fires in recent years. Part of this is due to the vigilance of the fire department in making careful inspections, and part can . be attributed to the campaign of education which : has been waged here for many years against the accumulation of combustible matter.

A bill has been introduced in the Massachu- people of $850,000.

someone was responsible. Too long have we shrugged our shoulders when a fire destroyed a home or factory, or razed a city block. It has not entered our minds that some one may have been personally responsible for the cause of the fire. If the blame for every preventible blaze were fixed on the guilty one,' and punishment meted out in court, the number of fires would decrease by a perceptible number annually. ; The social loss from a fire is inestimable. A person may have his property insured, but seldom is the insurance sufficient to pay for the entire

loss of the building or its contents

homes carry insurance that covers every article of furniture or of equipment. Every fire entails a loss for which there is no recompense. No one can restore the wood, steel, iron and other materials that have been destroyed. They have disappeared. And the labor which the housewife has put into the making of

many a household utensil, and the furnishings of her . home is irretrievably gone. "Any plan that will tend to diminish the number of fires should be encouraged," says the Indianapolis Star, "and the insurance men point to the city of Cleveland, where such a law as that described is in operation, to prove its benefits. The number of fires has so decreased, it is alleged, that the city now employs 226 fewer firemen than were on the rolls previous to the enactment of the ordinance, while the fire losses have

been cut more than 50 per cent. In Cincinnati, under the same regulation, there has been effected a saving in insurance premiums paid by the

years, but bow long should the government keep La Follette? "The Last Word In Apartments," tays an advertisement. Who has the last word in your apartment.

Dinner Stories

An Irish sailor, after pulling in fifty fathoms of line, muttered to himself: "Sure, its as long as today and tomorrow! It's a good week's work for any five men. More of it yet? The say's mighty deep to be sure." Then he suddenly stopped short; and looking up to the officer x i . a. cm 1 1 . . 1 -

son who permits combustible matter to accumulate in places where a blaze may originate, is inviting a loss not only to himself but also to his landlord and neighbors, the measure becomes a just and fair one. More than 15,000 persons were either burned

rapidly educative than any other method. The cost of the fire department of a city is one of its heaviest items of expense. To reduce it by requiring the persons who heedlessly started the

fires to pay that cost would tend to the lowering

of taxes as well as to the protection of property.

"Do you know what the hanging committee have done?" said the first artist." They have absolutely ruined my picture by hanging it next to the worst daub in the exhibition," "I've the same complaint," said the

second artist. "I looked in yesterday and found my hanging beside a frights

You charge me a shilling a pound for these apples?" Yes, ma'am," answered the polite grocer, "that is the very lowest price we can sell them for." "How Is it that I can get thera from Todd's for eight pence then?" "I can not say. ma'am. Perhaps Mr. Todd has taken a fancy to you. He is a widower and you are beautiful. Unfortunately I Yes'm, two pounds? Certainly."

New Inspection Law for Furbearers is Explained All persons who desire to propagate fur-bearing animals, and game birds at private breeding places can secure a petition for an Inspection by addressing the state conservation department, according to an announcement received here. When the propagator receives the petition he must properly fill it out giving a description of the breeding place, enumerate the animals and birds in possession and return it to the department which will send a representative to inspect the premises soon after the closed season begins.

Game birds and animals coming under the recent promulgated regulation of the state conservation department include all fur bearers. Squirrels and wild rabbits are included in the list of protected animals, but Belgian,

Flemish and other hares or any animals not named In the Indiana-laws, can be raised without the breeder taking out a certificate Inspection. To raise any kind of a game bird mentioned In our laws protected by closed seasons, it is absolutely neces

sary that a certificate of inspection be procured. Game birds under state protection during certain seasons of the year are quail, ruffed grouse, all

kinds of foreign pheasants, prairie

chicken and water fowl.

In order to handle wild fowl of any species protected under the Federal

Migratory act, it is necessary also to secure a permit from the United States

department of agriculture. procnrablj by writing to the secretary of agriR culture at Washington. D. C. Humming birds are not found outside the Western Hemisphere.

THE GEORGE MATTHEW ADAMS DAILY TALK

WHAT FUNNY FOLKS WE ARE! The strangest, funniest, oddest man in the world is always the other fellow! He does this and he does that and wouldn't you think he would know better? But he doesn't. He will never learn. He's irritating, clumsy in his way of speech and manner He is "quite impossible!" But have you ever thought that It is the existence of those very qualities, in some degree or other In you, that makes it possible for you to appreciate even the absurdities in him? We are ALL funny folks. And we are always the funniest to those whom we think so funny! When it gets cold, we put on our heavy clothes and when it gets hot, we take them off for lighter ones. We all do it. We eat, sleep, run, play, breathe, suffer, laugh in about the same way as the other fellow. It is only in degrees that we are different, or that we have advantage, or that we are able to boast above our associates in this world. And yet, how VERY odd HE or SHE Is! It's about as the old Quaker told his fond wife: "All the world seems queer but thee and me and sometimes even thee seems queer!" But there are saving graces in this "vale of tears," and one of them is that the world is permeated with a gracious sense of humor. We really, in the last analysis, like the very folks who seem funniest to us because they are our kind we are even as they! And if we didn't like them we would have to walk around friendless and alone. And that would makeus dried up dummies in a month. Yes, what funny folks we are! But all of us are fairly nice sometimes. Especially when we are kind, and cheerful, and helpful and big.

Spanish Influenza is Epidemic Here Many Cases Develop Into

Deadly Pneumonia. Easier to Prevent Than Cure. How to Avoid. The constant dally increase of Spanish Influenza reported by local physicians shows clearly that many people are falling: to take the simple ordinary precautions necessary to avoid infection. For, while influenza, after Its development. Is sometimes difficult to cure, it i san easily preventable disease. The best plan is to begin treatment before the first symptom starts. For no other disease will develop so quickly or spread so rapidly. You may feel fine today be sick tomorrow and lose a week or more of work. Tou will Indeed be fortunate if pneumonia does

grerms. Every breath you take is like- i ly to draw them Into your nose and ; throat. You can prevent the disease by j killing the germs before they spread throughout your body. There is probably no safer or surer way to do this than to go to the nearest drug: store and get one of the famous Hyomet In-I haling Outfits cositing- of a bottle of ; the pure Oil of Hyomel and a little ' vest-pocket, hard rubber Inhaling de-! vice Into which a few drops of the Oil i of Hyomel are poured. Just breathe this Oil of Hyomel deep I into your nose, throat and lungs and . every particle of air that enters your , breathing organs will be charged with . an antiseptic, germ killing balsam that will destroy the germs that have found i lodgment there. j You can't do this too often. No ordinary night and morning gargling or J throat spraying will be sufficient so j long as during the day you come in constant contact with infection. Tho j Hyomel inhaler is small and can be ;

conveniently carried in a handbag or vest-pocket. Every half hour or. so throughout the day take it out and draw a few breaths of its pure healing air into your nose and throat. By doing this you can prevent Infection and check the further spread of the disease even though you are coming in direct contact with it. This is an inexpensive treatment as the Inhaler will last a lifetime and further supplies of the Oil of Hyomei can be had at any drug store for a few cents. NOTE: Oil of Hyomel, so strongly recommended above for the prevention of Spanish Influenza is not a new discovery but is the application of an old and time-tried treatment to a new disease. Hyomel has been a standard in the treatment of catarrh and colds for over twenty years and is sold by druggists everywhere. Hundreds qf

people in menmuna ana vicinny Keep a Hyomei Outfit with inhaler on the

bathroom shelf for regular winter use. If you have one, get it out now and use It. If you haven't one, go to the nearest drug store and get one today. It is the duty of every person, not only for his own sake, but for the community to do all in his power to prevent further spread of this epidemic and to stamp it out. Advertisement.
