we submit the following as to the

which are easily followed:
Don't leave an Illuminated tree

Don't use festoons of tissue paper

Don't use any ornaments of cellu.

Don't let the children touch the
t1ee.
Don'tpermit a draft of air to sway
the brancher of a tree while it is
Illuminated.
Don't put cotton beneath a tree
to make the carpet look like snow
covered ground.
Don't remove a thing from the
tree until the candles on it are
blown out.
1t the appearance of snow is de-
sired for any purpose use mineral
wool. or asbestos. It will not burn
and gives a better effect than
cotton.
Finally, let the safety of YOUR
children and your properly be your
first consideration. and Christmas
will then be a season of happiness.
