cARHEssNEss

Fire Prevention Expert.

Every time you hear the cry Of
"Fire!"' you can be almost absolutely
safe in thinking that someone has
been careless. Fires don't happen.
They are the inevitable result Of
combinaticas of preventable things.
When aratyzed to the last equation
it viii De found that carelessness is
the root whence spring nearly all
frs
What q penalty industry pays to
carelessness! Fire is the great de-
stroyer. The wealth of generation
can be wiped out In but brief hour.
Why not fight fires before they
start? Why not. so conduct your
habits and SO keep your premises
that when the fire demon. wants to
offer your savings as a sacrifice he
will pass you by. just as those OF
Egypt of old were passed over when
the sign they had been told to place
over their doors. were seen?
Too often when those who are
responsible from fire cry out they
are the victims of bad luck. they are
but paying the natural penalty for
their own carelessness.
If you want to keep down your fire
insurance rates, wage eternal war
fare against those things that ever
breed fires.

GREATEST TRAGEDY.

1--WE are willing to join in every eff

in none to drag her down. The de-
scent of womanhood is the most awful
tragedy in civilization. AS she sinks
she may. like the setting sun, tint the
horizon with the rays of her depart

Do Your Christmas Shopping Early

The timeliness of gifts depends upon
their being received on or before Christ
mas day; early mailing will ensure this,
whereas the practice of mailing parcels
late in the hope that they will reach
their destination on Christmas day is
likely to defeat it's own object through
an unavoidable delay and to the conse-
quent congestion Of the mails.
Therefore, please mail early, wrap
securely and address plainly all parcels.
Inscriptions such as mot to be open
ed until Christmas ''Merry Christ
mas, with best Wishes" or words
to that effect may be written on the
parcel or on card inclosed within.
Parcels weighing so pounds may be
sent by mail $50 miles, and parcels
weighing 20 pounds may be sent every
where.
A parcel not exceeding "a inches in
length and girth combined may be sent
