The highly inflammable evergreen tree, too often trimmed with cotton and combustible tinsel, has been the cause of many a fire in which the home has gone up in flames and some of it3 members have suffered injury and death. The warning deserves to be heeded. The joy of the day ought not to be converted into sadness and gloom by the neglect of a few fundamental precautions which every parent can exercise. The most important are set out in the pamphlet and are quoted below:

"In the first place, the tree

securely so that it will not easily topple over, and it should be located several feet away from any heating or lighting fixture. Metal tinsel with flake asbestos and powdered mica make excellent materials for snow effects, and will not burn. Cotton and paper, on the other hand, are highly dangerous. The tree should never be illuminated with candles. There is some danger from the widely sold colored electric light assemblies due to insufficient insulation and other causes, but the hazard is small beside that of the lighted candle. "On one recent occasion a woman living in a

The earliest official recognition of manual training was given In Finland, where Uno Cygnaeus organized a plan for such work in primary schools in 1858, and where such instruction wa3 made compulsory for certain pupils in 1866. Sweden soon after recognized the importance of such training and gave an impetus to the movement. Q. What is the Amara-Kosha? F. O. M A. The Amara-Kosha or Treasury of Amara is a vocabulary of Sanskrit roots compiled by the Sanskrit grammarian, Amara Sinha, about 375 A. D. It contains 10,000 words, arranged in metre, to aid the memory. Q. How did Albertite get its came? A. 13. O. A. Albertite is a pitch-like mineral of brilliant jet-black color, which was named for Prince Albert, consort of Queen Victoria. Q. Please tell me what is meant by "The Potteries." M. M. A. This is a district of north Staffordshire. England. It is the cheif seat of the china and earthenware industry. The principal centers are TJurslem, Hanley, Longton, Fenton, Tunstall. and Stoke-on-Trent, all of these being amalgamated in 1910 as a single municipal borough under the name of Stoke-on-Trent. Tha Wedgwoods and the Mintons are the most famous families connected with the china industry. Q. Can the sge of sheen be told by the teeth? L. T. A. The approximate age of sheep can be told by the teeth. All the baby leeth are present soon after the birth ' a lamb. The two permanent front teeth appear when the lamb is 12 to 14 months old. The next pair, one on each side of the front ones, comes at about 22 to 24 month3. The third pair appears a j'ear later, and at the end of the fourth year the sheep has a full mouth with all permanent teeth present. As the animal grows old the teeth spread and show wear, and finally come out. After Dinner Stories It was ouite unnecessary to ask a certain golfer what sort of round h? had played, for as he approached the clubhouse after leaving the eighteenth, several idle caddies made a ru?h for him. saying "Clean j-our clubs, sir?" "No!" he replied with tremendous venom. "Let the d d things rust!" Two negro lesjionaires were scuffling on a street car on night, but one prew weary of the entertainment. "Don't, do that, Orion!" he protested. "Gwr.ii away now and lemmo 'lone. Is you craving a rendyvoo wi' death?" The pretty girl had just bestowed a hearty kiss upon little Harold, the family pet. Instantly Harold rubbed his coat sleeve across his lips vigorrusly. "What!" exclaimed the fair visitor. "Are you rubbing it off?" "Nope," replied Harold, "nubbin it in."

New York apartment climbed upon a chair to light the candles on a large Christmas tree in order to entertain her little daughter and a neighbor's child. While reaching for a candle at the top of the tree, she accidentally touched her lighted match to a colored paper chain, which

blazed up and ignited the other decorations. The ; woman tried to snatch some of the, burning pa-J pers off the branches, but lost her balance and' fell against the tree, pushing it over on the floor, j When she regained her feet her dress was on! fire and she ran, screaming, out into the hall of i the apartment house, fanning the flames until she became a living torch. Aid came too late and she succumbed to the flames. "Smokers should exercise great care with their matches and smoking materials, and parents should see that all matches are kept in metal or china containers out of reach of the youngsters. "If the call for Santa Claus is a crying need that will accept no substitute, the impersonator should avoid long cotton 'whiskers' and should keep away from lights and open fires. As an, additional protection, the costume used may be partially fireproof ed with the following solution : Two ounces of carbonate of soda, two ounces of ammonia carbonate, tvvd ounces of boric acid and five gallons of water. The mixture should be allowed to come to a boil and should then be strained and sprayed upon the material to be protected. If Santa's clothing or that of anyone else does catch fire, the victim should be rolled in a rug or woolen cloth and the flames smothered as promptly as possible. The flames should be kept from the face. "In order to prevent the spread of any fires that may start, a bucket or two of water and a fire extinguisher should be kept ready at hand."

TODAY'S TALK By George Matthew Adams, Author of "You Can," "Take It," "Up" WORK AWAKE 2 It is a fact that a large number of our faculties sleep a great deal of the time. And just so long as we can keep going and give to ourselves an average satisfaction, we think that we are fulfilling our mission. But if we knew of the. thrills and inspirations that also sleep with our unawakened abilities, we would arouse them from their slumbers. What mighty task3 a man accomplishes under pressure and when stimulated by some unforeseen circumstance or happening! Such a man works and accomplishes because he i3 ALL awake. The careful investigator into human working long ago exploded the theory that long and hard work injures the body. Work alone is what builds, strengthens and protects the body machine. It is nonuse that rusts and kills. It is the self-pitier, the idle dreamer, the complainer who fails to see and to learn, and whose soul daily shrinks until he actually believes that life is but "cne tissue of impossibilities." Work awake! And believe that your work is all important so important that you will wake up the entire working forces within you so that each may be a contributor to what you do. Place limit3 far beyond your expectations and then will yourself to reach them. Energize as nearly as possible to your maximum. The reason why a man does so much and thinks so well in periods of excitement is that everybody in his human house is wide awake up and doing. Push your barriers aside. Wipe out the dams that restrict you. Work awake!

Memories of Old Days In This Paper Ten Years Ago Today Teachers of the city, town and district schools of the county received no pay for attending the Indiana State Teachers' association meeting at Indianapolis during the holidays. The law permitted pedagogues to receive pay for only three days , during the school year when they are not actually occupied with their classes. The teachers had already taken advantage of two of these off days with pay. Rheuma for Rheumatism Rheuma has relieved the agonizing pain3 of thousands who thought nothing would give relief.

FIND PECULIAR STONE ON DEAD SEA SHORES A peculiar stone is found on the shores of the Dead Sea and west of it, between Jerusalem and the vicinity of isebi Musa, Palestine, according to the United States assistant trade commissioner at Constantinople. The stone, which is abundant, is commonly used by the local people in making souvenirs'. It is a matter of common knowledge that the edouins have used this stone for several years as fuel, and it is reported that during the war it was so j used by the Germans. It is said that the latter also extracted oil from it. ! that the Bedouins have used this stone and "Stinkstein." In the Yrarmouk Valley, in northern Palestine, are also found vast quantities of an oil-impregnated shale. When burned this shale leaves a very fine quality of lime, which, when air slaked, is said to be superior for building purposes. It is reported that during the war the Ger mans extracted oil from this substance by baking.

ANCIENT MEXICAN

KIVAS ARE UNEARTHED v To a prairie dog and a Zunl Indian I belong the credit for discovery of two I ancient klvas, or ceremonial cham bers of prehistoric Indian life in westem New Mexico. Valuable relics were I recovered, which, it is believed, may throw additional light o nearliest civilization in this country. The find was made while Frank W. Hodge, an archreologist of New York, and a Zunl Indian were making excavations at the old abandoned village of Hawlku. in southwestern McKiniey county. The Indian noticed human bones in the loose dirt around the freshly dug habitat of a prairie dog. Pursuing the dog's underground course with a ehovel, he came to the remainder of the skeleton and then to a fine piece -of pre-historic masonry, which led him into trie kivas. The structure was more like th ruins in the Aztec Mesa Verde, and Chaco canyon. Houses built on the kivas were apparently the work of later peoples. Ten burials that were unearthed, Mr. Hodge believes, were those of Zunis of later times. A fine way to spend six seconds dig up 13c and say, "Blue Devil. j please to your grocer. Advertisement. AH!
