In arranging their Christmas trees
people cannot exercise too much care.
They should avoid decorations which
are infammable, and when the candles
are lighted children should not be left
alone in the room with the tree.
Many disastrous fires have resulted
from Christmas tree Examinations.

single Species as the pencil industry is
dependent upon red cedar. In fact,
red cedar suitable for pencil manufac-
ture is the only wood the price of
which is always quoted by the pound.
Strange as 1t may seem, no steps
have heretofore been taken to provide
for future supply of red cedar. This
has been largely due to lack of in
formation on the rate Of growth and
the habits of the tree and to the wide
spread belief that second growth red
cedar never reaches merchantable size.
In accordance with its policy toward
the conservation and economic use Of
commercial woods the forest service
has made a careful study of red cedar
and has come to the conclusion that it
can profitably be grown in regions of
its development. Several changes are
recommended in present forest man.
agement in order to secure the desired
growth. In the southern forests the
cedar will have to be given a better
chance instead of being considered, as
now, Il negligible quantity in its youn-
ger stages, and many of the forest
grown trees which are now cut for
fence posts can proftably be left to
attain their full development and thus
become available for pencil wood.

CEDAR FOR LEAD PENCILS.
Now Bought by the Pound and Grow
ing Scarcer Each Year.

The lead pencil is one of the most
common articles in everyday use, and
nearly 32O.00O,OOO pencils are manu-
featured in this country every year
To manufacture these millions of pen
ellis there are required 10000 tons, or
100000 cubic feet. of wood, so that
each day in the year 800 tons, or 20
600 cubic feet. of wood are used for
pencils. Since practically all of the
wood is red cedar and since the pencil
industry is steadily growing, the sup
ply of red cedar is greatly depleted
yet no substitute has been found for
it, says the New York Times. Leaving
out of consideration the imported pen
ellis, the average educated American
over ten years of age uses six pencils
of home manufacture each year. Ten
years ago he used less than five.
Red cedar has u soft, straight grain
and when grown under best conditions
is very free from defects. Because Of
its peculiar qualities no equally good
substitute for it has ever been found.
and it is doubtful if any other wood
using industry is so dependent upon 4

CRUSADE AGAINST FLIES.
Kansas Board of Health Holds That
This Insect Spreads Various Diseases.

Kansas Board of Health Holds That
The Kansas state board of health is
making an effort to lessen the ravages
Of disease by eliminating the common
house fly. 1t is the belief of the gen
tlemen comprising the board that flies
cause many diseases by carrying the
germs about with them.
DR.. S. ]. Crumbine, secretary of the
Kansas board of health. says that the
fly is the greatest purveyor of disease
in the world. and in the bulletin of the
board for April he shows how disease
may be spread by flies and how it may
be prevented DR.. Crumbine believes
that the inventor of the wire window
and door screen was the greatest bene
factor of the age.
Not long ago. he points out, it was
definitely learned that yellow fever
typhoid fever and other diseases were
carried into homes by flies and mos
Quitoes. Some physicians assert that
the wire screen is the greatest proven
tive appliance for typhoid and yellow
fevers. 1t is urged that no flies be al
lowed to enter a sickroom, particular
stress being laid upon this.
A recent Kansas law permits the
local health officials to require the re
moval of all nuisances, keeping the
streets. alleys and vacant lots clean
Flies breed in filthy places, and 1t is
well known that mosquitoes require
stagnant water for breeding.

NATIONAL HYMN IN DANGER ?
g. A. r. Discovers Plot to Omit Anti
British Verse In Schools.

An insidious plot to undermine the
patriotism of young America has been
discovered by certain members of the
Grand Army of the Republic. says the
New York Times. They have learned
that it Is a common thing in the public
the verses of 1.-The Star Spangled Ban
ner" and assert that this is done In
spirit Of base trucking to the British
lion.
The verse in question refers to the
most glorious memories of the RevOlu-
ton and speaks in terms of condemna-
ton of King Georges troops. 1t runs:
And where is that band which so vaunt-
ingly swore
That the havoc of war and the battles
confusion
A home and a country should leave US no
more?
Their blood has washed out their foul
footsteps pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and
slave
From the terror of flight or the gloom
of the grave,
And the star spangled banner in triumph
doth wave
of the brave.
They ascribe the abandonment of the
verse to the visit to this country of
Colonel Sir Howard Vincent of the
Queens Westminster volunteers. Tn
der the guise of trying to strengthen
the bonds of friendship between Great
Britain and America he suggested the
mutiation of the congress ordained ma
! tienal anthem, the g. A. r. men say.
He asserted that in England in defer
ence to the less robust spirit of the age
the second verse of God Save the
| King" with it's pious allusion to the
"knavish tricks" of Britain's enemies,
Is now universally omitted, and he
proposed that it would be as well not
to tear open the scars of 1116 every
| time Americans wished to arouse their
natural love for their own country.
The omission of the verse was taken
to heart in particular by William G.
| Allen. the patriotic instructor of the
| G. K. Warren post. G. a. R.. of Brook
| lyn. and he is endeavoring to form an
association for the protection Of the
national anthem.
1t was rumored the other day that
before long the aldermen will be asked
to pass a strong resolution upon the
subject and that the matter will be
brought before the board of education.
| Superintendent Maxwell denied thai
| there was an order of the board of edu
| cation upon the subject. He said the
children only sing the first and last
verse of the hymn to save time. Il
was optional with the teachers to omi
! any verse.

NO RAW MEAT FOR HIM.
Professor of Boxing Takes Issue With
Yale Professor.

Professor Harry Gilmore, exponent
of the manly art, ex-champiOn light
weight of the world and prominent
academist. ''begs to differ
Professor Irving Fisher of Yale,
whose dictum in regard to a raw meat
diet held a conspicuous place in the
eastern news dispatches today. may
find in Chicago an opponent worthy OF
his steel, says the Chicago Evening
Post.
1t is Professor Gilmore's word against
Professor Fishers.
The Yale savant after q series of ex-
meat best fits the candidate for fistic
honors.
Not So replies Professor Gilmore.
Nothing of the sort
And Professor Gilmore. trainer OF
Jimmy Barry. Martin Duffy. Benny
Yanger, Jack O'Keefe and others, ought
to know.
Seen at his boxing academy this
morning, the ex-champion, arrayed in
tights and a gray sweater, perused
Professor Fishers statement with a
corrugated brow. Then he remarked:
whats this he says. The lion and
tiger are carnivorous animals. preda-
tory and ferocious.' Say, he's got me
there. so can a human being become,
by devouring raw meat. belligerent
crafty. treacherous ard selfish
'Why. if You could make horse eat
raw meat then you'd make an Al
dragon out Of him. Lions and tigers
are forocious by nature. 1t amt the
stuff they eat that makes 'em so. It's
what they are.
Now, prize fighter doesn't want to
be selfish and treacherous. His friends
would all go back on him IL he got
that way.
IF you're going to eat raw meat
why not eat it alive? Do like the tiger
does. Lay for n cow some night and
take a bite out Of it's neck or eat few
chunks out of live pig.
"Now. If you want coed advice, eat
cooked meat. You can eat a good deaI
more, and it tastes better. You'll only
make yourself sick trying to eat il
raw.
PLENTY of oatmeal, raw eggs, meat
and vegetables-that's n training diet
