CHRISTMAS FIRE DANGERS.

The season is approaching when
scores of lives are annually lost and
hundreds of fires are started by
carelessness in Christmas and holiday
decorations. In addition to the fires
and panics in crowded stores, due to
careless wiring of special displays or
the catching fire of inflammahle dec
orations, thousands of dangerous
risks are run in homes, churches and
Sunday school. Wherever possible,
electric lights should be used instead
of candles on Christmas trees and the
wiring should be carefully done. If
this is not possible, the greatest pre-
caution should be taken to see that
the trees are firmly installed and
well braced, SO that they may not be
overturned when presents are being
taken down or by the over-enthusiasm
of the children. Under no circum-
stances should cotton batting be used
and whiskers, as non-inflammable sub
stitutes can easily be had. and the
risk of serious or fatal burning is en-
.cessive. If candles are used, children
should not be allowed to light them
while their parents are not present,
as they otter set fire to their cloth
ing. Special care should be taken not
to leave matches lying about, as they
are especially dangerous at Christ
mas time. The holidays, of all per
iods of the year, should be freed from
the danger of terrible calamities,
which is always present unless rea-
sonable precautions are taken in the
matter of holiday decorations and
festivities.

kAARA TEMPLES GIFTS.

The Ancient Arabic Order of Mobiles
of the Mystic Shrine is composed OF
knight Templars and Thirty-second
and Thirty-third degree Masons. It is
sometimes referred to as the play
ground of Masonry and the general
understanding is that its chief pur-
pose is the enjoyment OF innocent fun.
Kaaba Temple at Davenport claims
the allegiance of most of the high de-
gree Masons in eastern and south
eastern Iowa and not a few in
western Illinois. Altogether 1T
has membership of about 1900.
That they have something in mind
aside from fun is evident from
certain proceedings had and
done at the annual meeting of the
members of Kaaba Temple in Daven-
port the other day. Following the
election of officers $50 was voted to
Bethany Home for little children in
Rock Island and similar gifts were
made two other worthy institutions.
The Rock Island Union has the fol-
lowing editorial reference to the mat
ter:
..At the annual meeting some benev
olent institution is usually singled
out and Christmas present of sub
stantial sort is given to it. This year
there were three of such institutions
remembered, Bethany home of this
city. the Lend-a-Hand and the West
Side Settlement-Ned Lees mission.
THE gift came as a surprise to the
people of the home. They did not
have the slightest intimation that it
was coming. 1t was unsolicited.
These Shriners have a soft spot in
their hearts for little children and
for struggling young women and men.
They do these little things out of the
fullness of kind and generous hearts.
The people of Rock Island, all OF
whom love Bethany home, thank them
for the remembrance
Such benefactions speak well for
the Shriners and entitle them to
large degree of confidence and re-
lpect do men gather grapes of
thorns or figs of thistles?" They
are known by their fruits, and there
is no better fruit than that which
helps support and educate helpless
little children and aids struggling hui
mainly in it's efforts to rise to better
things. The Shriners are all right!

PASSING OF THE eLupeEoN.

In commenting upon the sentencing
Fredericks of Los Angeles, who sue
cessfully conducted the prosecution
of the case, said:
Some of the statements from union
labor leaders are sincere and some are
not. Some of the men who are max
ing the loudest public utterances are
implicated in the dynamiting out
RACES for which these men were SEN
fenced today.
The case is not yet closed. l be-
lieve that never since the civil war
has the United States passed through
such a crisis as was involved in this
tremendous case
Il believe that this trial and the
ultimate results will mark the pass
ing of the bludgeon, the walking dele
gate and the dynamiter from the
ranks of union labor If this happens,
as l am confident it will. labor will
have cleansed itself and untold good
will follow"
1t is to be hoped that the expecta-
ton of Attorney Fredericks will be
realized and that right speedily. The
rank and file OF organized labor have
been brought face to face with the
dangers of radical and unsafe leader
ship, and owe it to themselves and to
the cause of labor to cast out the
dynamiter and the slugger as the
greatest enemies they have ever en-
countered or will ever be called upon
to meet. 1t is up to union labor to
make choice. Either the bludgeon or
their organization must go

WOMEN AND COSMETICS.

Woman is beautiful or should be,
on account of one of natures wisest
provisions. This is the dictum laid
down by writer in the highly ethical
Clinique who claims women should
consult their physicians frequently
and freely as to the best means of
preserving their compilations and the
color of their hair In the same con-
nection physicians are urged to quail
ify themselves to give proper advice
on these subjects.
AS TO the use of the makeup, the
writer maintains that that it is be-
coming universal and that the moral
aspect of the question is becoming
settled. There was time when the
bath itself was thought to belong
solely to the demimonde Now elder
~ duchesses and Knickerbocker grand.
mothers fearlessly and scientifically
handle the complexion brush, the face
cream, and the powder puff, and bold
ly risk the hazard of the dye.
Why asks the writer, is the bodily
skin of a country woman OF sixty
years often like that of an infant,
while her face is faded and wrinnleG i?
| Why, on the other hand, is the face

lquently smooth and beautiful? On
account of protection against the ele-
ments. The city woman has been
using her cream and powder for forty
years and has yet to experience any
ldeleterious effects. The idea that the
/ faces of actresses are old looking off
the stage is the purest superstition.
Many an actress courted of our faith
ers still has complexion the envy of
our daughters. Any cream that gives
rise to no burning or irritation need
rot be feared on account of any in
visible or inappreciable ravages. Ply
sicians are told that these are things
they should know and not be afraid to
say.
The writer points out that hair
grows stronger as age advances, and
denies that the average depilatory is
harmful. To be sure, the hair returns
after the effect Of the depilatory wears
off, and in time increases in vigor and
5coarseness; hut this would happen in
any case, and woman is entirely
justified, and perfectly safe as well
in temporarily removing the disfgure
ment as best she may.

ever, we are no longer on such safe
ground. All dyes and bleaches, even

iously affected by dyes. especially by
the popular hydorchloride of paraph-
enyiene diamine. Use of this agent
has been followed by an extensive
oedema of the face and neck, accom-
panied by severe itching and burning,
but without fever. An obstinate
eczema has also been reported Even
the most careful washing of the sur
rounding skin with soap after the ap-
plication of the dye will not always
prevent these complications; but there
is comforting ground for belief that
they are due to an idiosyncrasy. In all
instances the aye should be tried on
a small portion of the scalp, toward
the neck, first; if no harm results,
the entire chevelure may be treated
with safety.
In conclusion. as to the hair, the
physician is advised to counsel resig-
nation as long as his patient is will
ing, and then warn her that the hair
itself will suffer. AS to depilatories
and creams, he should assure himself
of the purity of the ingredients, de-
vising his own prescriptions, prefer
ably, and assure his anxious clients.
with one hand on his heart, that it is
not only permissible to use them free
" but sacred duty they owe to ma
ture and to man. Many women read
ers of The Gate City should find both
pleasure and profit in this advice.

The shame Of barrow.

Cedar Rapids Republican: Clarence
Darrow in his time has protested a
great love for labor, but it appears
that it was not that love that he work
ed for According to Frank Morrison,
who is the secretary of the American
Federation of Labor, the attorney re-
ceiyed $4,000 for defending the Nc
Namaras. That came out of the $780,
COO defense fund That is princely
wage for man who has talked louu
and long about the rights OF labor IL
looks as if Darrow worked labor with
his professions of love. He made his
price and he got his money But since
the men pleaded guilty, will he re-
turn a part of that $4,000? He did
not do the work that he had mapped
out for himself and what he did not
earn he ought to return, SO that it
could be sent back to those who con
tributed it out of their wages or that
it may be used, as has been suggest.

NEWSPAPERS AS BOOSTERS

Addressing the Clinton Commercial
club. the other night, Woodwork
Clum, secretary of the Greater Dav-
export committee. said with more zeal
than wisdom
Get after your newspapers and
make them help boost for the munic-
ipality from which they get their
bread and butter"
The Clinton Herald properly takes
exception to the implication that news
papers are not doing their share OF
boosting for Iowa cities. 1t calls at
tention to the fact that a newspaper
has just two things to sell, advertis-
ing space and subscriptions. And in
each case it gives enc hundred cents in
value for every dollar it receives, and
then some The Herald comedies that
a newspaper owes an obligation to
the community in which it is publish
ed but says truly that careful sur
lyey of the field will demonstrate the
4 fact that in 999 cases out of 1000 1t is
meeting that obligation and with good
measure. The same paper is entirely
within bounds in saying:
