THE CHRISTMAS CANDLE— The lighted candle is one of the pleasing symbols of Christmas joy, yet it is a threat to safety and must be guarded as a fire hazard. So warns a bulletin just issued from the office of the state fire marshal. it says—“On the Christinas tree the burning candle is especially dangerous. The twigs of the commonly used evergreen tree are full of rosin. The festoons of dry leaves, tissue paper, lace, etc., the paper bells, painted wood toys, and sometimes articles of celluloid, make the trimmed and decorated tree a veritable giant torch. "The candles are often feebly (ached to frail branches and when they are lighted tlie slightest draft from an open door or a swaying of the tree may start a fire. A spark falling on the cotton representing snow may send the whole thing up in a puff. Never leave the tree unwatched when it is lighted. “A Chr stmas tree may be decorated beautifully and much more safely it the cheap, bright tinsels, artificial evergreens, and Japanese t'ssue paper, none of which will burn, are used instead of the ordinary piper and leaf festoons and orna.tnents. Electrically lighed ornaments and candles are a good investment for they eliminate thte fire danger' and last for years. , “Candles used on trees and in ceremonies at festivals and parties are to be guarded against even more than in the home, for the danger of panic and injury is heightened in public meetings. Fluffy bobbed hair or tong curls should be kept out of the way of candle flame. Last year two neartragedies of this character were r< ■ ported to the fire mashal's office. In both cases girls carrying lighted candles in a Christinas procession set tire to their own bobbed hair. Th y were saved by spectators.” Congress last spring reported to the states fog. ratification a proposed 2l*th amendment to the constitution of tlie United States. This amendment is designed to give to congress power to limit, regulate and prohibit the labor of persons under eighteen years of age. It is another step towards centralization of power and turning over to an unwieldy congress powers that belong to the states. We beiieve that some regulations are necessary as to the employment of children but we also believe it would he just about as follish to pass laws which would prevent children under eighteen years of age doing any kind of labor. Most boys and many girls it: cl least earning some money long before that time and some aro making their own living. Almost every state lias 1.-ws on the subject now and there is no need so far us we cui ee and understand to give this further right to tFcongress which has done nothing for six years but draw their pay aud enact foolish laws. We hope i lie Indiana legislature has the courage to vote against the amenduietlt. How about employing some one to serve as a paid secretary for the Indust <ll Association for the coming year? There are a hundred things It - ii’tid do which would help make a better city aud county in wjueh

jto live, ft is being done in Auburn, j Sturgis, Huntington and many other plates and where it is tileu out with a good man, it is always successful. Its the very best investment we can make. Os course it will cost a little something, so does every thing else Iwe do, but distributed among 150 I members which ought to be doubled | under his direction, the cost per | member would be slight. Lets don’t I just talk, discuss, grumble and plan. | Let's really do something and start the ball rolling. The Good Fellows club has reached the first hundred mark and that's one-third of the way. We will have to step along lively this week if the poor boys and girls are to have a visit from Santa Claus that will make them happy. Come on all you good fellows of Decatur and boost this fund this i week. The city has replaced the burned out lights at the Monroe street bridge 3 and repaired the wiring which how--1 ever is not strictly their duty. The 1 approaches to the bridge need some work and this should be taken care * of early in the spring. It pays to 1 keep things up. i This is shopping week for ChristI mas for those who have delayed the 1 gift buying and you will find largi 1 and well selected stock of goods it ’ the Decatur stores. Look them over read the advertisements and complett your buying during the next seven oi eight days. So Old Man Stephenson is to rut the legislature? ’Aint that nice?

The total dead was placed in round f gures at 22,600. Labor and civic organizations will co-operate in an effort to lesson the tremendous toll. Secretary of Commerce Hoover called the conference to draft a national policy to guide cities and states in campaigns to cut down the ever increasing lists of accidents ami | eliminate street and highway con gestion. Lack of uniformity among traffic rules in cities will tee one of the principal topics. Au attempt will be made to arrive at a uniform code for city streets aud rural highways. Special attention will be given to the problem of reckless and incompetent driving An effort will bo made to get all states to pass laws requiring drivers to carry licenses which can be obtained only after passing a rigid examination. —' O' 1 ANTIOCH OR BEERY CHURCH ' The Rev.

Ninety-eight out of every hundred adult (iTtS ? persons never know ? f , that they have had M 7 the disease, the rflw’ C bulletin says, and Sj |) only two out of r | ‘ every hundred cases j> I || { ever come to light at all. Perhaps even more significant is the fad that practically every person who reaches adult life, particularly those who live in large cities, is infected with tuberculosis. “This does not mean that he has the disease, nor does it necessarily mean immediate danger,” the bulletin continues. “Millions of children are infected by impure milk, or by contact with careless tuberculosis patients, or from picking up crude sputum during their play with marbles or balls or rope on the street and sidewalk. Tlie ’crms of tuberculosis when they entar the body act differently froth those , of any other germ disease. In measles, scarlet fever, smallpox, or dip-1 theria. for example, when the germs enter the body, that is, when a person is infected, there is a definitely known period of incubatiotT, so-called by the doctors, between the time of entrance and the breaking out of the disease. Thus we know that within so many days or so many weeks after infection a person is likely to develop the disease. Not so with tuberculosis. The period between the time of infection and the onset of the disease may be five years, ten years, or twenty-five years. Or the disease may never develop at all.” As Christmas approaches, plans for the ahnual sale of Christinas Seals ' aro going forward rapidly in every county in the state, according to Murray A. Auerbach, executive secretary of the Indiana Tuberculosis Association. Reports coming in from many counties tell ot increased interest in the whole tuberculosis situ- } ation by Hoosier citizens. Important contributions of time and money i arc being made throughout the stat® ) this year in an effort to keep the - death rate from the “White Plauge” - going downward even more steadily ; than it has during the past two dec- , ades since national, state and local • tuberculosis associations began works ing to teach men Mind xtotuen bow to > build healthy, resistant bodies against

tuberculosis* The imuins for curry* ing on this extended educational cam paign arc splendid through the annual Christmas Seal Kale, Mr. Auer- j bach pointed out. More than forty i million seals have been distributed to Indiana counties for this year's sale, which will be held during Do cernber. \ “Christ mas Seals tire virtually health Insurance in_ev«ry community,” Mr. Auerbach said. .o — ■ Call 436 for Taxi.
