directly traceable to such fires with the total jumping to 10000 if indirect causes are included the figures do not include marine loses ncr these caused by forest fires while marine statistics were not available forest service officials reported 1c2cc3 fires and 15373- 120 damage in 1931 the federal council reports show the direct fire loss on buildings and contents have averaged around 500000000 a year but loss in wages and production attributed to fires increase this total about 100 per cent direct losses have declined appre ciably since 192g the estimates fcr 1933 including 25 per cent- ad ditional for unreported fires were as low as 340000000 and for 1931 32s000000 this is significant the council reported since it indicates that the more general use of the lireresistive

caused by defective constriction and installa tion and lack of knowledge and care losses from defective chimneys flues heating and electrical equip ment and roofing open lights petrol leum gas sparks explosions ashes j rubbish spontaneous ignition and matches smoking are thus largely preventable and loss of life from fires from such origins could be avoided in his proclamation issued recent ly

north american continent will be in full swing no not wheat but mineral salts the scene will be little manitou lake watrous saskatchewan the harvesters will be the employees of the de partment of natural resources of saskatchewan and the harvest itself will consist of the tiny crystals of mineral salt which form in little manitou lake each year at freezeup it is one cf the essential conditions that the harvest be completed within a period of ten days when the prairie winter comes in real earn est and the thermometer shivers down to 20 below zero the de partmental men warmly attired and wearing waisthigh rubber boots gather up these crystals with specially constructed shovels and store them in the government warehouse at watrous from where they are later distributed the medicinal

light a fire is this first of all if there is a layer of ashes on the grates leave it there about two inches of ashes on the grates help a lot then spread about two inches of coal uniformly over the ashes on top of this fresh coal put a good charge of kindling consist ing of newspapers and lightwood be sure that theturn damp er in the smoke- pipe and the ashpit damper are wide open and the check damper closed thiswill create thestrongdraft which is needed to ignite the fire now light the kindling and when it is burning freely slowly adfd more coal the kindling will ignite the fresh coal both above nnd below it and you can then add more coal and thus quickly build up a good deep fire occasionally you may find when the kindling wood begins to burn that smoke starts coming out through the crevices around the furnace doors this is due to tho fact that tho chimney being cold does not provide sufficient draft to carry off the smoke this con dition can be quickly remedied by dpening wide the slide in the fire door or by partially or entirely closing the ashpit damper or by a combi of the two 1 ok by meb fresh and mellow lasting too dixie plug is the smokoforyou ive tried them all and
