BEWARE OF THE OPEN
FIRE
The season of the year ts here
when th3 people begin to have
fires and the fatalities from fires
begin to mount up. These fatal
ities from burning are caused, in
fully 98 per cent of the cases,
from pure carelessness. In the
United States bvery year there
are 8,000 to 9,000 deaths from
burns. The majority of these
deaths are women and children.
Clothes catch on fire from an
open fireplace and often from a
fire in the yard. Every pot in
i lie yard, under which a fire is
built, should have a wire screen
to go around it. You can have
'an iron frame built in a black
smith shop, and cover it with
screen wire. Have it large
enough to go around pot and
fire, and, abouti 2.1-2 feet high,
so that, workers.'.canXreachlthc
pot', but clothes and children
cannot come in contact with fire.
For fireplaces, have frame
made and covered with wire
screen, and so made that it will
stand alone. You can buy these
screens from your hardware
dealer or from mail order houses.
Screens not only protect the fam
ily front getting burned, but also
protect the house from catching
fire front flying sparks. Many 'a
home has been burned by sparks
popping out after the occupants
had left the room. Women who
work where there are fires
should wear knickers instead ol
skirts that arc flying everywhere
and are extremely dangerous
around open fires or machinery.
Don’t pass this caution up, but
get busy and protect your family
and home from fires.
Prevention is better than
salves and ointments for burns,
or coffins for the dead. -Dr-
Register, in the Progressive
Farmer.
ECHOES OF THE METHODIST
CONFERENCE
The Atlanta Constitution gives
the following story which is a
fact'nnd is known by numbers
of ourjfolks to he true.
”A thrilling story was told,
Wednesday, by Rev. W. T. Ham

ville district.[He said that when
..the newjchurch at Clayton was
being [built there were needed
three stones of special shape and
size to completeitthe arc over a
window. Ernest search failed to
locate the-desired sjtones. Finally
some one suggested that three
stones of the desired kind could
be found in an old abandoned still
house. The still house stones

Let Us Wash It
When you’ve taken to the highways,
ether toil or pleasure bent,
Ami have traveled eastward, westward
on this good old continent.
When you’ve walked and talked with
strangers for a fortnight, or more, j
But never one among them you have
ever seen before,
Oh, I tell you then, my brother, where-1
soever you may roam.
Your eyes will dance with pleasure if
you meet a friend from home v

If lie passed and failed’to seeryon, you
■fcvvould start running downjthe street j
And you’d call his name out loudly,
lest you’d miss that chance to meet; !
For there is no thrill of gladness,
when out wandering you^goXt
Like finding ’rhorig the faces; of the J|
throng, just one, you know. j
It’s a good old world my*brother,
as you'll readily agree,
In the city of the stranger when,
a friend from home you see,

' If Not
Please Do So,
Oh, the stranger may be kindly,
and their smiles he honest, too,
They may guess that you are lonely,
and, may share their joys with you;
But they do not know your people,
and they do not know your town,
And the pleasures and the sorrows,
which the years have written down;
And there’s .s>mething in the laughter
and the twinkle in the eye
Of n friend from home, my brother,
which n > stranger can supply.
We Need the Money
It is not on deseit islands,
where a man must dwell alone,
But in cities dense with people,
bitter lonesomeness is known:
To stand upon the curbstone, and,
to see them come and go.
Men and women all around, and,
not one of them you knew!
Oh, I tell you then, my brother,
that your eyes will dance With glee,
if, among the throng of strangers,
one familier face you see.
