Miller, in a message to his school teachers. Continuing his lecture 011 Safety First, he savs, "Material in matches is poison and if matches are let lie around little children often put them in their months. Often tliev are carried away by mice aud ignited in their nests. "Safety matches are the only ones we should have iu the home; 'parlor' matches should not he used, as the heads often fly some distance." Clothes have been set on tire in this way and eyes have been destroyed. "Some women .strike matches on the soles of their shoes; this flame is very apt to set their skirts afire. Men often give a burning match a twirl and toss jt aside, sometimes into waste jiaper baskets. Some time the match will not be extinguished and then there will be a crv of 'tire!' "Ignition occurs in strange ways: sunlight striking on a box of matches ] or the rays of a mirror or glass paper , «ei'ght will often be the means of start- j ing them into a blare. "One of the most dangerous ma terials tor clothing is outing flannel. 1 '1 lie nap burns as though it was . gun powder. Little children should not be allowed to make fires or carry lamps. 1 After thev are ten years of age they , should be taught to* turn gas 011 and i off and to sec that the match used for i lighting anything is put out. 1 "The small electric lights are excel- j lent for hunting things in dirk closets.

' \ Coal and "Clinkers" Don't always blame the coal if you find "clinkers" in your furnace. Clinkers are often the result of the way the fur nace is handled. The feed door should never be left open, as cold air rushes in and deadens the fire and causes clinkers by suddenly chilling the hot coals, which are in a plastic condition. The fire will settle down into a solid mass and you will have trouble to remove the ashes. The best coal is liable to clinker from this cause. United Ice and Coal Co.
