QUAINT COMMENTS BY THE
VILLAGE PHILOSOPHER

CWinnebago City Enterprise)
eating garlic may not be a crime,
but it is surely scentsible.
One-half the world lives by Undue
ing the other half to play it's game.
Those who take life as a joke find
out sooner or later that the laugh is
on them.
Opportunity may knock only once,
but with all other knockers the habit
is chronic.
The early bird may catch the
worm-but who the dickens wants
to breakfast on worms?
What has become of the old-fash-
Toned man who used to drink his cof-
fee out of a mustache cup?
The man who has to carry gun
to protect his honor hasn't enough
honor to warrant even Democratic
protection.
The war has boosted the prices Of
everything so high that even old
fashioned honesty isn't so plentiful
as it used to be.
Notice that number of ladies in
the east are training for war. Be-
ing used to powder" they will
doubtless make good soldiers.
When a man begins to pirate about
what great men his ancestors were.
it is sure sign that he failed to in
herit any greatness.
The millionaire with all his dol
lars can't buy the happiness that
surges through the soul of small
boy when he gets a penny whistle.
Charity may begin at home, as
they say, but if it does it is when
Mrs. Wife overlooks some of the
,whoppers told her by Mr.. Husband.
Our idea of misguided being Is
the man or woman who fondly
imagines that perfume can be made
to do the work that bath should
do.
Fashions change with the passing
years, but the gold brick game still
remains a favorite pastime with the
suckers who want to get rich quick
A lot of fellows are so ALFRED In
terested in the war and in politics
that they haven't time to keep their
wives from earning living for the
family.

Mothers Are
Responsible For
Majority of Fires

The majority of all fires in the
united tates, except those due to dy-
mantle, lightning and firebugs, are
started by mothers" according to
Cnlef William Guerin, chairman of the
Fire Prevention Committee Of the
Safety First Federation of America.

1T is safer to play football with a
can of nitroglycerine than to deal care

open pail Of gasoline and the vapor
from it will burn with an open flame
until the pail is empty. The flames
/ consume the vapor as fast as it comes
i from the liquid, but if spark is in

! gasoline vapor is mingled with the
right proportion of air there will be
a terrific explosion. To make matters
worse, venture to say there 8 not
one home in fifty equipped to combat
fire. There may be apail, but is has
to be filled, even granting it can be
found when it is wanted. Every home
should be equipped with some extin
guisher. No one ever expects a fire
but it is frequently the unexpected
that happens"
T. F. Baker, chief inspector Of the
Texas Fire Insurance Commission said
at the convention of Texas Club Won
en- at Brentwood, Texas:
"Most housewives would throw VI
their hands in holy horror to see theil
children playing with loaded gun Of

Yet, these same housewives will clear

state should spend so much money
for school houses and teachers and
yet 50 many of our children stay
away from SCHOOL, The schools we
have can be made better by better
school houses and better teachers.
And every parent should aim TO
have each son and daughter spend
one year away from home at school
where they will get acquainted with
the best young people from other
couIsies. And where they can
study things that are not taught in
