FIRE PROTECTION
ON THE FARM
By Hilda Richrrwnd, Ohio.
"While the best fir« protection on
the farm will alwavs be prevention,
auch as per Arc t chim»»ys, care In
threshing time, secure stoves, stove
pil^s that fit tightly Into the chim
neys and are protected by metad Col
lars, safety in handling matches, the
use of only perfect oil stoves and
lamps, still there Is much to be done
In case fire actuajly occurs.
Careless autolsts in summer are
apt to throw lighted cigars and
matches by the icadside, railroad
files will start and sweep over fields
and forests, and accidents will hap
pen in spite of nil precaution. So It
Is well to know simple rules for pro
tection and try to keep cool If fire
does break out.
one or t ne common causes or coun
try fires is that fat boil* over on tha
kitchen stove. When this happens,
many excited women throw water on
the blaze and cause it to spread. Salt
or ashes quickly thrown on the fir»
will smother the blaze, bit most wo
men do not like- a paii of ashes
standing about the kitchen. However,
when fat is tried out, or when dough
nlits are made, it is well to provide
the ashes or a jar of salt, so that in
case any accident happens the rem
edy can be at hand. A pail of ashes
standing in a tiny kitchen for a few
hours will* not ruin the reputation of
any good housekeeper.
Sparks on the roof, when the
shingles are dry, cause a large num
ber of country fires, also. A window
where some one can get out on the
roof quickly, or a ladder that can be
raised In a minute or two, will often
prevent a serious fire. Tearing off
the shingles quickly or using a pall
'or two of water, will quench ttye
flames and save the house. Of course,
carrying water up a ladder is not
swift work, hut where it can be done
by several persons a bad fire can
be extinguished.
Where there is a tank and water
pressure, or a gasoline engine, a coil
of hose always at hand Is one of the
best fire protectors any farm can
have. Sprinkling the ifeof thoroughly
at threshing time, or when the chim
ney burns out, lessens the danger
materially. A steady stream of wa
ter, even if small, turned on a blaze ■
will do wonders toward, putting out
the blaze.
Teach children the danger of fire.
Instead of trying to extinguish tho
blaze, unless they are alone, the chil
dren should be taught to raise ar.
outcry at once. No fear of punish
ment should deter them from report
ing the trouble. On our farm, two
boys sneaked into tfle barn to have
a private smoke, and a smaller lad
was afraid to tell on them. By great
good luck the hired man caught them
smoking and saved what might hava
been a bad fire. A man in our coun
ty lost his entire outfit of barns and
Bheds by boys smoking in the barn.
The boys were frightened when they
saw what they had done and tried to
put out the blaze, but It got such
headway that everything was swept
away.
Fires caused by poachers In the
woods, or by sparks from railroad
engines, are best fought with the
plow. Burning a space in *front of
the fire is also good. At my old home
a few rods from the railroad track,
where the prevailing winds always
blew toward the house and barn, we
never have had a bad fire. There
have been times when things \ooked
bad, but by telephoning for the sec
tion men and plowing a strip around
the dry meadows and keeping the
lawns free from material that would
quickly take fire, we still have the
homestead free from fire. Gf course,
In dry weather we always were on
the lookout to put out Incipient
blazes in the grass, and this no doubt
saved the day many times.
So each^and every country family
should see to it that ihe members
know how to fight fire as well as
how to prevent it. Materials are so
high and labor is so expensive that
all buildings should be saved from
the destructive blaze. With no fire
protection such as the city must keep
up, country people must depend upon
themselves, so it is worse than folly
to go to pieces in an emergency and
lose the chance of saving the build
ings, which is always possible If the
fire Is discovered before it gains
much headway.
♦ Every farm ought to have a handy
chemical fire extinguisher; better
still, one for the house and one for
the bam. A bad fire can be stopped
before It really gets a start by the use
of one of these extinguishers.
Even all these precautions do not
make Insurance unnecessary. All
farm property should be insured in
a dependable farm mutual or private
insurance company.

your State Fire Marsnal.
Do You Believe in Signs.
A crack in your chimney Is a suni
sign that you are going to move. It
you dream of smalling smoke, it is a
sign that you are asleep and had bet
ter wake up. To see a paper-hanger
papering over a flue hole indicates an
impending loss. It Is had luck to look
In a dark closet with a match. If you
can see your shadow from an oil
lamp while filling a gasoline stove,
It indicates a crowd of people Is com
ing to your house. When the wind
moans. It is extremely bad luck to
burn trash near the house. If you
smell gas or gasoline and look for it
Tith a light, it foretells that you are
noout to start on a long • journey.
Even if your house and furniture are
covered by Insurance, it Is _extnemely
unlucky to have them burn on Fri

Eminent British Physicians
Deny That Celibacy Contrib
utes to Longevity—Home
Life Means Comfort.
BY F. A. WRAY,
London—Do single people live lon
ger than married?
Two of Britain's most famous doc
tors—Bernard Hollander, the re
nowned alienist, and Sir Bruce Porter
heay of the Army Medical Service
have just been discussing tills ques
tion in public, and in both cases their
answer is a strong negative.
Both begin by dismissing the sub
ject of unhappy marriages, wnich,
from their experience, they are in
clined to view as an almost negligible
percentage.
“I treat the matter from a homely,
human point of view,” says Dr. Hol
lander. “Married life, first and fore
most, conduces to comfort; it con
duces to regular habits in sleeping
and feeding; it promotes public mor
ality, hygienic conditions and elimin
ates the risks attendant on promis
cuous social indulgence.
“The bachelor is apt to become
careless with regard to his health.
But the wife makes it her first care
to watch over her husband’s health,
and once a man is married, he, too,
takes greater care of himself that he
may not fail In his duty of those to
ward/ whom he has responsibilities.
"Home life is one of the greatest
ingredients of health. What married
man does not look back with loathing
to the interminable succession of
meals taken in restaurants? What
thought did he give to his diet?
“Not only physically, but also men
tally, is this wifely companionship a
boon. Are not most elderly bachelors
and spinsters, too, unhappy? Very,
few bachelors of my acquaintance
who have passed the age of 50 can
honestly say that they are complete
ly happy.
"My married friends of the same
age, on the other hand, are mostly in
full enjoyment of life, kept healthy
and contented by their family inter
ests.”
"Celibacy, to me, is a new prescrip
tion for old age,” says Sir Bruce Por
ter.
“I have met men who attributed
their longevity to beer; others to tce
totalism, others to cold baths; but
this is the first time that 1 have ever
hear any suggestion that bachelor
hood led to old age.
"Day by day, with scalpel and mi
croscope, we explore that strange
and still uncharted continent, the hu
man being. More and more, as our
pilgrimage advances, do we realise
the mingling of mind and matter.
“And marriage is a mental upheav
al far greater than a physical one.
“It follows that the married man
is a different being from the bache
lor. He has a different mind, dif
ferent interests, and this mental at
mosphere reacts on his physical be
ing.
Tme married man of 40 is r.nt onlj
more likely to live' longer than i.
bachelor of the same age, but he ir
younger.-in himself. The-great secret,
of course, lies in his children.
"\Tan, containing two germs on
their way through the ages, the germ
of mind and the germ, of the body,
should pass these on as his motif.
"After middle age he lives a great
deal in the future.
“When he has children and cun set
in them the next links in the chain
there is much joy ip life in helping to
make these links strong, so that they
in turn shall keep the chain unbroken
The bachelor must have the feeling of
regret that in hiu case the motif
does not run and, with him, the
chain ends.
"Youth begets youth as sure as
sunshine breeds health. Age is a
question of environment.
"Love is a great factor in health.
The average old bachelor is the sad
dest thing in life. Curled up in his
chair, forlorn, disconsolate, he is a
derelict, with no star by which to set
his course.
"A wife gives her husband addi
tional motif, a rhythm by which to
march. A son sets his brain glowing
with the memories of his own tri
umphs in the past. A visit to tlie
nursery is a greater restorative than
visits to health resorts.
"We live, to a very large extent,
because we want to live. And when
the motive has gone life stagnates.”

“I firmly believe Tanlac Is what

high tribute paid the medicine, re^
centl.v, by Mrs. Edith J. Patten, widely
known nnd esteemed resident of 500
Cumberland Ave., Portland, Me.
"When I began the use of Tanlac
I had not felt rigiit for a long time
and was all run down. After persist
ently taking the treatment considered
best for such a condition I got no
better. In fact I seemed to be
growing worse until a lady friend in
sisted on me trying Tanlac.
"At that time I took two or three
bottles and was perfectly well again.
Since then I hnve taken a bottle two
or three times a year and no one could
feel better. I have done lots of nurs
ing of the sick, and since Tanlac did
so much for me I have been the cause
of many others taking It—always
with splendid results, It is with this
knowledge and experience that I rec
ommend Tanlac as a wonderful med
