Envelopes printed at the Courier office. ' . Amertoa's Appalling Fire Lea. Every man, woman and child In the United 8tates pays $3 a year for Are waste. If on a certain day of the year a government official should go to the average family of live iteraous and pre sent a bill for $13 aa the auuual Ore tax of the family, there would be a universal protest agniust the tax and against the carelessness whku makes possible a yearly fire waste of 230, 000.000 In this country, nig manufac turers aud big men-bant know that the fire expense to which they are sub jected Is a drain on all the people, but because It is iudlrect the average per son ts not coiisi'lou tie In paying a tax. Let the musses cure realize thnt every time they buy a lint, a pair of shoes or a suit of clothes or anything which goes through the regular chnnnels of Industry, production, distribution and exchange, they are pitying a part of the country's enormous lire tax, aud fire prevention would become the order of the day.
