ANNUAL FIRE INSPECTION (Continued from page 1) that the people generally realize the importance just now of seeing that their flues at their homes are in first class condition.

Within a few weeks at the longest it will be necessary to start the stoves for the winter and it will then be too late to make any repairs which are necessary. There are hundreds of flues in Elwood which are really dangerous and if not attended to now, are almost certain to cause a conflagration in time. A little time and money spent now may save your home from destruction later on. It will take but a few minutes to inspect your flue and this is something that should be done at once and then it repairs are needed, these should not be neglected longer. Mr.

Barber says that conditions generally are fifty per cent better than they were two years ago, but there is still a great deal of room for improvement.
