Advice to Those Whose
House is Going to Burn
If you live in a house that
will burn down, it is suggested
by the fire prevention editor of
the Southern Construction News
that you take the followingpre
cautions:
Pile all your furniture on the
front porch every night before
retiring. This will simplify res
cue work, and avoid break
age. The moving can be done
with more care and delibera
tion than in case of sudden
awakening when the house is
on fire. Retain the beds in the
house, of course, during the
night together with any other
furniture or equipment that
might be required, such as
medicine chest, stoves, onv.
clock, etc.
If the neighborhood is such
that it is not entirely safe to
leave valuables on the front
porch a fire-proof shed or mag
azine should be constructed,
secured by a good hefty lock.
Stretch a string through the
house, one end tied to a nail
and the other over a pulley or
spool with a tin pail hanging
cn the end. Kill the pail with
broken glassware and tin cans.
In case of fire the string will
burn and allow the pail to
drop. This is a simple and inex
pensive fire alarm if one is not
a too-heavy sleeper. One of
these contraptions should be
installed on both floors if
yours is a two stroy house.
Every night fill an ordinary
wash tub with water and set
it beside your bed where you
will be sure to find it without
delay even without a light, in
case you should be called to
arise in the night by a fire
alarm. If one will make a prac
tice of this it will be safer to
do without the kind of fire ex
tinguishers that hang on the
wall ready for use.
If the above directions are
strictly followed one may re
tire secure in the knowledge
that he has taken a great deal
ot pains to iharwt the fire dan
ger. To those whose love of
ease and sense of comfort pre
clude such elaborate precau
tions the following brief sug
gestions are offered:
Be positive that all your
flues are absolutely safe. Put
ashes in metal holders only.
Don’t permit gasoline to be
used indoors in open vessels
and never fill gasoline stoves
while lighted or with a light or
flame near. Don’t leave a fire
in a fireplace or grate unat
tended. Know that your electric
wiring is safe, year by year.
Teach the children the danger
of matches and then keep them
out or their reach. Get in the
habit of using safety matches
anyway.Remember stoves need
protection underneath and in
front of walls. Don’t allow oily
rags or sweeping compounds
or oily mops to lie around.
Don’t let trash and waste pa
per accumulate in the house.
Then use uncommon common
sense all the time and you may
never have a fire.

THE MERCILESS
CHECK REIN
One of the most cruel prac
tices ever devised by man is the
check rein.It was devised seem
ingly for display, in other
%ords to show “style.” This ef
fort of show is at a terrible ex
pense to the poor horse and
really only displays what an
emphatic selfish fool man is.
God made animals our bene
factors. He made them dumb,
uncomplaining and at our mer
cy.
They must take the treat
ment we dole out to them. Any
man who would take advan
tage of them is a coward and
has not a spark of refinement
in his make-up. He is really
worse than a brute, for he
treats the brute worse than the
brute treats him. He may wear
the sanctimonious air, go to
church every Sunday and wear
his knees out at prayer, and
fool his fellowman, but he can’t
tool God. And when he hears
the text: “Blessed are the mer
ciful, for they shall obtain mer
cy” read he can’t swell Up
i with self complacence and say
“that’s me.” You can’t make
| me believe that there is any re
ligion in his soul, or that there
i is any heaven for him—he’ll
! get just what he is giving the
I horse—h-.
Just bend your neck back
like most horses are reined for
just ten minutes and feel the
agony it produces ,and yet
! horses are left in that situation
; tor hours, while their masters
are sitting in comfort. But they
; are satisfying their master’s
idea of “style” but really of
their heartlessness and lack of
brains. If a horse hasn’t “gin
ger” enough in him to hold up
his head, for mercy sake, sell,
trade or give him away to some
one for a plodding unostenta
tious service where he will at
least be used with comfort to
himself.
This is written in defense of
one of our best friends the
horse, and 1 stand ready to de
fend these remarks at all times
and against all comers.

DIAZ SCHOOL HOUSE
DESTROYED BY FIRE
Diaz, March 9.—Fire, which
originated from a defective
flue, destroyed the high school
building here today while the
students were taking the morn
ing recess. Quick work by the
teachers, Mrs. Eugene Gibson
and Miss Virginia May, saved
the furniture of one of the
rooms. The frame building
burned rapidly. The home of
T. J .Hightower, about a block
away, was set on fire by flying
sparks, but the blaze was ex
tinguished before any damage
was done. The loss of the
school building was covered
by insurance.
