suit in crossed wires and a consequent
fire. , 1 The use of Inflammable substances In display windows," near electric lights or oyer gas jets, Is also a great danger. - Cotton, which Is used frequently to Imitate snow, should be eliminated and that it the snow effect Is desired It should be safely done with mineral wool or other non-combustubile sub. stances. . r Tires In stores are dangerous at this time of the season, owing to large last-minute crowds of shoppers continued the chief. "Panic is almost certain ' to follow unless there Is perfect organisation In the st6re, to meet " Just such an emergency." Watch Fires, Cotton. In regard to home fires, he said: . "Light Inflammable fabrics should not be used as decorations unless they are dipped In a chemical solution to render them non-cumbustlble. "Too much care can not be exerclsed in proper electric wiring. Gas
flames should be protected by a globe
chimney or screen and all eomDusuDie material should be removed from such flame. . Do not put colored paper orer electric light bulbs, as the heat Is suf
ficient to start a blaze. The utmost
precaution should be taken in hanging small electric light bulbs and wires on the Christmas tree, as crossed

th8 danger during the holidays is ex
ceedingly great." said Miller, in con
clusion.

This is the season when pneumonia
knocks most persistently at the lungs.
according to Richmond doctors, and tuberculosis seeks to overthrow the unfit and unwary.
He who would successfully combat this will take stock of himself, cease
his unwholesome habits and cultivate the forces of resistance by living the
simple life," they say. There Is a popular delusion concern-
jing drafts which Js difficult to dispel.
ii is commoniy tnougnt iui coias ioilowlng exposure to drafts are due solely to that cause. "They are merely the predisposing
cause," it Is explained. "Colds are bacterial Infections of the respiratory tract. A draft is nothing more than
air in motion, and Is beneficial, not
harmful, if properly controlled and
provided that the exposed are In good phyvical. condition.
"The physically unfit who avoid sir
currents within doors could safely ignore the 'draft bogey If their powers Of resistance were developed and Increased by hygienlo living.
"Overeating, impure air, lack of proper exercise. Insufficient sleep, constipation and 'untrained. skin,' due to insufficient or Improper bathng, and worry are the prime factors which, in various combinations, render people unfit to withstand the teeming germ life which finds lodgment along the respiratory tract."
