Last year in the state of Ohio alone, over one hundred deaths were caused by using kerosene to kindle fires. More than two hundred people, most of them children, were maimed or dis figured for life because someone in sisted on starting a fire with kero sene. Many country people and city folks too, have started fires with kerosene for years without coming to grief, stated C. H.

Never pour kerosene into a fire box or onto hot coals or hot grates. Kerosene when heated above lOt) degrees releases vapors that are more explosive than gasoline. When these vapors come in contact with flame, or Hames run back into the container, they explode with a violent force destroying an entire home, such as the one in the picture. Storage tanks for kerosene should be under ground or at least 15 feet away from any building. Surely the people of Ohio can learn a lesson from those who handle millions of gallons of volatile liquids daily without mishap, and use the kerosene in their possession cautious ly and carefully, thereby avoiding the disastrous results depicted above.
