THE LAKE SHORE NEWS, FRIDAY, NOVE1 i StAktiWG « ukES WITH KEROSENE KAFFIR SINGING BOYS I COMING TO WILMETTE This Is a Dangerous Prac- tice, According to state JL a\Jt ^5 Jwoassssi ^'■•^*** ■y W. H. (State Fire Marshal) In the Stat six months of the year 1*14 awe people were homed to death la the state of Illinois by start- ing area with kerosene than from any other one cause. It Is am exceedingly dangerous practice. 80 many fatal accidents were reported that In some counties the coroner of the county, who was called upon to investigate these fatalities, tamed warning through the Moeapapara calling the attention of the people to the dangerous practice o( starting fires with kerosene In the county of Stephenson five deaths were reported in the period of one year.-. ■' Kerosene should never be poured from a can Into a* stove under any circumstances. A stove may be warm or there may be a coal of fire left in it. and In either case a serious ex- plosion : la likely to follow. Besides the liquid kerosene in the cap there is always present a highly inflammable and explosive gas. If the stove Is warm- or a few coals are left la It. this gab may be Ignited and a serioas explosion occur, In which the person starting the fire la likely to he burned to death. Kerosene starts a fire in a hurry. It producea about six times as much lirat as does wood In burning and it can be readily lighted with a match. Consequently, I presume It Is unrea- sonable to expect that its use In this cennection will be' entirely discon- tinued. The only reasonably safe course to follow If kerosene must be used in starting fires is to pour the kerosene on the kindling before plac- ing it in the store. Remember, the less kerosene there is in the can the more room there is for* the explosive gas and conse- quently the greater danger of an ex- plosion. More than forty people were burned to death in tbiB state last year by starting fires with kerosene. N'ever • under any circumstances pour kerosene oil into a Btove.
