Christmas Shopping

Because OF the fact that Mouongah
Is but six miles from Fairmont most
of the local Christmas shopping is
done in that city. From now until
after the holidays many Monongah
people will board each car for Fair
mont. Because of this fact not only
during the holidays but throughout
tho entire year, there are only a few
stores Of any size in Monongah. The
Monongah people feel that their visits
have been repaid when noticing the
car loads OF Fairmont women that
come each day to Monongah to supply
themselves with spring and winter
bonnets. The Monongah people vel
come the many shoppers and hope
that the friendly shopping spirit will
continue between the two towns.

MOST ACCIDENTS IN HOMES
Majority of Injuries Can Be Traced
to the Carelessness Of
individuals.

The safety first" movement is or
dinarily Understood to mean caution
in public, in crossing streets or board
ing cars, or carefuneSs in the factory
in handling tools or machinery, but, nc
cording to the report of the coroner
of Cook county, Illinois, there is more
need for safety first methods in the
home than in the street or factory.
In II years of the Chicago coroner's
incumbcnCy the total number ot deaths
by accident investigated by his Office
was 29,SG4. OF these 1924 We're "ac-
cidcntS at home" and li,623 outside
the home"
Most of the accidents Mt home are
traccable to carelessnesS. Burns and
scalds caused many deaths. AsphyNia-
tiOn, poisoning, SuifOCutiOn, falls. eX-
posture and neglect. careless use of
matches firearms. gas and oil stoves,
gasoline, liquid stove polish, defective
StovopipcS and tluoS, SCOT etc, cost
thousands of lives. In Cook county In
1913, l0j children under five years of
age were killed by scaldS and burns,
