WATCH YOUR ELECTRIC IRONS AND TOASTERS

Many I irs. l'imil Iue to Careless. ik-s in Forgetting to Turn OH" Current.

Fires du to electrical npplianres. which became overheated, owinj to carelessness, "lie coming to be a new form of peril, according to a notice received by W. Carroll, manager of the Indiana Inspection bureau, .Ml Fanners' Trust building, from the National Hoard of Fire T'nderwriters. Most Maz's due to this cause, the report says, result from persons allowing th current to remain turned on after they have finished using the appliance. I'stimates made by th National Hoard of Fire Underwriters place the total mnnher of fires of this kind at rtO.OO 0 per year. Most of the fires are small, hut the npcregate loss is large. Th notice received by Mr. Carroll, shows that the J.I.'O,fC0 fite In the Rost on residence of px-CJov. Draper, was caused by an overheated plat warmer in a butler's pantry. Fires of this class furnish a special peril to life, being most frequent in dwellings, often breaking out at night, according to the report. As an example, it is pointed out that the burning of the .lohn Wana maker residence several years hco, was caused by an electric pressing iron.

HOLDS ALL SINNERS SHOULD GIVE WARNING Minister Would Have Tlicni ltrandctl as Were the I.cjMrs of Old.

"The contagiousness of leprosy is recognized and in the Holy J-and the lepers carry a bell and say as you come near. Tnclean, unclean. Would to Cod that the moral lepers in this town were branded with a scarlet letter and they would be required to cry, 'Unclean, unclean as the pure young people came near them." said Iiev. II. P. Dunlop in his sermon on "The leprosy of Sin." Hew Dunlop pointed out the ways in which the two were alike and how both lead to a destruction of the body, but that sin goes so far as to destroy the life of the soul. He explained how each develops along the different stages until it takes away the life. "Leprosy is a chronic, constitutional, malignant disease, involving the skin, the bone, the nervous structure; In fact the whol? man. and terminating In death," said Dr. Dunlop. "If you want a definition of sin all you have to do is to substitute the word sin for leprosy and see if the detlnition is not perfect. Sin is not a disease hut it works like a disease because there is a restlessness, fever involving the skin, hone, nervous tissue and terminating in death." There were three conversions last nicht. This evening's sermon will

GIVES POINTERS ON TRAINING OF CHILD Mrs. Alma O. Ware of .-- South Heml Training school spoke on "The Training of the Child," hn.'ore an audience In the little theater of th high school Tuesday evening. This was the second of a series of talks given under the supervision of the Household Arts Extension department of the high school. Mrs. Ware gave her talk under three main topics or suggestions: First, she said, "to train the child we must first train ourselves; to discipline the child, we must first learn self discipline: in the direct training of the child there must be associated with him in the building up of his ideals that which will influence his life, and great care should be taken in the formation of his habits." The last appeal Mrs. Ware made was for comradeship. "For a closer comradeship between the mothers and child in all of his daily interests and activities." The third of the series will he presented by Dr. C. F. Hansel, who will speak on "The Feeding of the Child." at a meeting on Feb.- L'l.

! PLUMBERS ASK PROBE ! OF COAL SITUATION

About labor organizations of the Central Labor union of this city have drawn up a petition requesting the president and congress for a federal investigation of the coal situation. The last labor council to endorse the paper is the plumbers' union that met last night. The petition reads: Whereas, the fuel situation in South Hend has reached a most

critical state, and our citizens are

compelled to pay exorbitant prices for this absolute necessity or freeze to death; whereas, our coal dealers are at this very time unable to furnish a sufficient amount of coal or

fuel to supply the demand, causing

suffering and sickness in our very j midst, I

We. the plumbers' union jocal deem it necessary to take drastic action, calling on all labor unions id other organizations of this city i id its citizens to petition the president and congress for a federal investigation here at once. We also endorse the action of the city council to establish municipal coal yards on a permanent basis, so as not to have such conditions as are now confronting this city come a sain.
