TYPEWRITERS FOR SALE ADDING MACHINES FOR SALE The Sentinel Q. Although I try to keep my broiling pan scrupulously clean, quite often grease from a chop or steak bursts into flames. Once 1 threw water on the flaming meat — the grease spluttered and fire spread. What do you recommend for putting out kitchen grease fires? A. The National Board of Fire Underwriters recommends baking stxla as a fire extinguishing agent. Baking soda, which is another name for sodium bicarbonate is especially effective in squelching kitchen grease fires. When heated by a lire, soda creates carbon dioxide which is heavier than air and settles around a tire cutting off the supply of oxygen necessary for combustion. And baking »«»da is an "edible” fire extinguisher — will not harm food. selin Was a recent Cleawox visi tor, as was Miss Rosemary Mur ray.
