' 1. Do not try to install addition
al wiring In your home unless you
are an a-ctrician. Your best in
Mirnnce against fire is good wiring
properly Installed.
H. Wires must never be tacked
to walls or hasehoards or bung on
nulls. If the lnsuliitlou wears
through there Is trouble.
I. I'se porcelain, not metal, sock
ets in bathrooms and in basements
so that If n person standing In
water or on a dump floor touches
one. there Is no possibility of
shock from a defective device.
- "i. Do not handle electrical np
plia nces w hen n ny pn rt of. y mi r

. it. Never set electric irons on
combustible material. Always use
the metal stand or rest that Is pro
vided. '.7. Ijimps In clothes closets
.Should never be left burning when
the door is closed. Cse an auto
matic switch.
X. Never use irons or toasters
t warm beds in winter. Heating
pads are made for the purpose nnd
are absolutely safe.
Have nil appliance cords re
paired or replaced when they be
come worn. You cannot depend
upon defective c.ordsi
ID. If the standard length cords
on lamps, beaters and other port
able appliances are . not top;;
enough, lio hot clutter up your
