frozen water pipes and lack of water for
household purposes a source of danger
and disease.
So it will be a good plan then to make
an inspection of your plumbing pipes
and water pipes and see to it that they
are properly protected. They may not
have frozen up this time, but the next
cold spell may get them. A little bit
of labor and expense now will save
more later on.
The season of short daylight which
is now here means that the people of
Chicago will be compelled to do much
work by the aid of artificial instead of
natural light. This also means largely
increase eye strain. 1t frequently hap
pens that under natural light the eOndi-
tions are poor; but more often it is
found that artificial lights are so placed
and arranged as to be positive menace
rather than an aid to the eyes.
1t is well known that a light which
Is too strong and which hits the eyes
with glare is bad, and if not remedied
soon seriously interferes with the eff
cheney both in quantity and the quality
of the work turned out by employees
TO work under such condi-
tions.
Eyesight is precious and priceless.
1t should be most carefully conserved.
So far as possible lights should be ar
ranged with their rays to fall on the
work in front of the workers from be-
hind and over their shoulders. The we'll
lighted shop or work room means that
the work benches or work desks are so
placed and the lights so arranged as to
enable those to whom it is supplied to
work with comfort.

sAFETY-FIRsT SUGGESTIONS.


Zero weather in Chicago, when it
comes, always means hardship and suf.
fering to many people. The sudden
"eOld snap" always finds those UMPIRE
pared to meet it.
In many instances the haEdships and
Inconvenience caused by cold weather
are unavoidable; that is those affected
are unable to make the provisions in
advance which would insure both COM
fort and safety in any time of storm
or stress. There are, however, many
things that can be done to avoid trouble,
waste, danger of sickness and expense,
caused by or due to excessive cold.
Among these may be mentioned the
proper care of heating plants and plumb
ing fixtures.
1t always happens that Immediately
following season of zero weather, the
Department of Health gets a great
many complaints from people whose
plumbing fixtures have frozen up, leav-
ing them with no water supply; and
from others who are suffering because
of broke Town or inefficient heating
plant.
1t would seem to be good safety-frst
suggestion that plumbing fixtures should
be properly protected against frost and
that heating plants should be over
hauled and needed repairs made during
the mild weather months and before
zero weather sets in.
The breaking down of the heating
plant in the home during a prolonged
cold spell is not only a great discom-
fort, but a serious menace to the health
of the family. And none the less are

"'HoovERIzING."

In Tuesdays issue of the Daily News
there appeared an article which stated
that as usual the coming Tuesday would
be observed as a meatless day even
though twas Christmas.
Thereupon 1 began considering ways
and means of mitigating what to some
would be considered a vicious blow
Christmas dinner with no meat, presum-
ing that turkeys, chickens, ducks and
geese are prohibitive in cost. Now let
us see if We cannot get a wholesome,
savOry, well balanced Christmas dinner
without the use of any of the meats or
fowl and at a cost not half so great
as your turkey or expensive roast alone
would have been, thereby lessening the
chances of causing any of the common
alimentary troubles so prevalent just
after the Christmas feast.
To begin, instead of the expensive
meat or milk soups, let us substitute the
very inexpensive, toothsome potato
soup, made by boiling white potatoes
until very we'll done in as much water
as you will need to serve your family,
run all through a fine sieve, season with
salt, oleOmargarine and parsley to taste;
set all on back of range to serve piping
hot after all have been seated. With
this course serve croutOns made by
browning evenly cut cubes of stale
bread. in equal parts of nut oleomargar-
inc and bacon fat.
For the second course we will serve
baked white fish with any of your ia
vOrite dressings, stewed canned toma-
toes, fresh home made rolls (using Just
plain water, yeast flour, salt and pinch
of sugar as ingredients), jelly or jam,
butter, celery, coffee for adults, water |
for children, and sliced oranges unsweet- |
ened if not too sour.
Now if you have bought the above
named articles judiciously you will have !
enough money remaining to buy still |
another dinner and at less cost than the |
price of one of the main articles had |
been in former years. In order to pre-
serve the usual happiness on this ocea-
sion which the sacrifice of the turkey or
other Injuries might have caused, let us
take the money We have saved on this
dinner, purchase the materials for like
one, with instructions for preparing,
pack them neatly in a box with some
holly here and there and send it to the
family of the little bow-legged boy or
girl who passes your home every day
on his or her way to the bakery to buy
the popular sweet roll that is so made
quate for the fuel requirements of the
growing child, especially when it con-
stitutes as it often does in these fami.

to support the family, or if more for
tunate simply to augment the too small
income. Our dinners are now complete
and adequate, but let us go little far
ther and see if little more self-denial
can be praeticed without injury to our
well being and happiness.
Perhaps the taxi you had intended to
call to take you to the party of Mrs.
Smith, since it is within comfortable
walking distance could be dispensed
with, or if not, possibly you could wear
a little simpler dress, take the demo
cratic street ear or "L," and take the
difference in the cost and spend it on
mittens, gloves, stockings or underwear
for this same family. Or perhaps the
beautiful, expensive slippers you had
intended to buy for the annual Christ
mas dance could be supplanted without
last year on a similar occasion, and if
the sacrifice is not too great spend the
price of them on the shabbily dressed
father or mother of this family.
To the young man, who usually spends
this day in dissipating, / would suggest
a saner day. Use the money you spend
so wantonly in such dangerous, expen-
sive hilarities and send it to father or
mother whose confidence and admiration
for you are rapidly waning, make your
self happier by your picture of them
raising the heads that your misdemean-
Ors and irresOlute life have caused to |
droop in shame and disappointment. |
Remove the despairing, evasive look in |
their eyes when the friends of your boy |
hood who have remained at home and |
made good inquire about you. Make
them unafraid and proud to tell them
about your efforts and achievements. |
Or If you have no such responsibilities
maybe You know of a manly little chap
in your neighborhood who is making a
supreme effort to finish course in high
school or college; he needs clothing,
books, advice, recreation, comfort, or
cultivate his friendship,
and after you have looked after his most
essential needs, take him with YOU to
a good theater occasionally, urge going
to Sunday-sehoOl, direct him to the good
social eenters of the city, in definite
form be a Big Brother to him and
YOU will find when you have time to
think it over you have not only had the
happiest holiday of your life, you have
very fine piece of social serv-
ice and at the same time you have made
a true patriot, for no doubt
our boys at the front left just such
dependents as these and will wonder
many, many times whilst they are en-
joying their gifts from friends at home
and abroad whether or not the ones they
left behind have been forgotten.
