ARD CITIZENS WARNED.

SOME DON’TS
II
■
1
I -
Don’t,use makeshifts instead
of proper fuses in your electri
cal circuits; the fuse is the
“safety valve” of the system.
Don’t leave electric flatirons
or other heating devices turned
on while attending to some
thing else.
Don’t look for a gas leak with
an open flame light; you will
be sure to find it. Use an elec
tric flashlight, preferably.
Don’t use gasoline or other
volatile liquids to remove spots
from clothing.
Don’t throw your lighted
matches or smoking material
where they can possibly cause
fire.
Don’t smoke in bed; perhaps
those guilty of this practice are
too green to burn, but the beds
are not.
Don’t let children play with
matches or bonfires.
Don’t fail to have your defec
tive chimneys or flues mended.
Don’t forget to have tha soot
removed from your smoke pipe;
if not cleaned the pipe may ov
erheat and start a fire when
you operate the furnace.
Dont neglect to protect walls,
ceilings . and partitions from
the overheating of stoves, fur
naces and pipes.
Don’t put hot ashes into wood
en boxes or barrels.
Don’t fill oil lamps or stoves
by open-flame light.
Don’t.,let rubbish accumulate.
Install a fire extinguisher in
your home. It may save the
life of a member of your fam
ily.
Coal may be scarce this win
ter. If you use some substi
tute in order to heat your
home, do not fail to have the
apparatus properly installed
and operated. Makeshift install
ations may result in the loss
of your home.
