Show KEROSENE KINDLING. A Lady Fortunately Escapes a Terrible Fate. One of the most reprehensible habits one can form is that of lighting fires with kerosene. Thousands Thou-sands of lives are lost every year by this blameworthy act. Just last week a lady in Brigham City barely escaped a fearful death by this means. The fire would not burn as smartly as she wished, so she took the large glass coid oil canjpoured what oil she wanted into in-to a fire shovel and sat the can down near the stove. The lid was raised and the liquid poured into the stove, when suddenly the hot lid slipped and fell upon the oil can, shattering it. The inflammable inflam-mable oil splashed on the stove and poured over the floor. Surprising to say, the oil did not ignite, which saved the lady and the house from destruction. For goodness sakes, people, don't light fires with kerosene. |
