three saloons in town in which the
boy obtained intoxicants, and inn

all three proprietors. When arraigned
they all entered plea of guilty. As
mitigating circumstances one of them
explained that the bartender in giving
ing the boy liquor violated express
orders, while another thought the
boy was of age, and the third said he
did not know he was doing any wrong
when his bartender sold the boy a
glass of beer, for the boy s father had
told him more than year ago to give
him some beer if he wanted it, but
not enough to make him intoxicated.

in each case and paid.

Should do il Here

Over at Ashland the Health
Commissioner will see to it that
the rooms in every school build
ing in the city are fumigated be-
fore the opening of school in
Septem Der.
This same thing should be
done in the Public schools of
this city and at the next meeting
of the school board some ar.
rangement for having the work
done should be made.
During the past year there
was a number of cases of con-
tagious diseases which is sup
posed to have originated in the
schools and in order to be on the
safe side the rooms and books
should be fumlgated.

The boys who have been

Fire Marshal Issues
Christmas Tree "Don'ts"

Following the advice offered by Fire
Chief Frank ]. Wagner as to methods
of avoiding danger from fire, Fire Mar
shal P. w. Nicholson today issues the
following series Of ''dont's' to Christ
mas celebrants: ~
Don't decorate your Christmas tree
with paper, cotton or other inflammnble
material. use metallic tnsel and other
non-infi3mmable decorations only. and
set the tree securely, SO that the chill
dren in reaching for things cannot tip
it over.
Don't use cotton to represent snow.
II you must have snow use silver sand
or asbestos fiber.
Don't leave matches within reach Of
children.
Don't place candles On the tree at all:
IL You use candles for decorations. 1t Is
great temptation for the children to
light them.
Don't place tree close to the gas. be-
cause in a few days the tree becomes
very dry and the needles are easily ig-
nited.
Electric lights for decora tons, even
storage batteries are not within the
reach Of all. better not have candles at
all than to have a fire which probably
result In serious injury and probably
death to some one.
