WATCH YOUR STEP!

The record of accidents due to QUITO.
mobiles shows plainly the need Of ped
estrain regulation. says, writer in the
New York Evening Post According
to the report Of the New York city
police department for 1915, eighty-sev-
en- per cent of all vehicular accidents
in the streets of the city in which per
sons were injured or killed, and the
causes of which were given, were the
fault of the injured. One-third OF al
those killed or injured in New Yorl'
city were under sixteen years of age
This would indicate clearly that any
material reduction of street accidents
must be brought about by educating
both adults and children to observe
proper caution, by regulating pedes
train traffic, by providing adequate
Fairgrounds for children and forbid
ding playing and skating in the street!
and stealing rides.
Every reasonable means having bee1
taken to prevent the reckless and care
| less driving of vehicles and operation

dents due to faults of drivers and ope7
ators of vehicles were eliminated
would reduce the total number
street accidents only one-tenth. Con
narison of the records of New Yor

THE CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS
COMMISSIONER YOUNG WARNS
AGAINST DECORATIONS WHICH
FEED FIRES.

When you do your Christmas decor :
ating this year just remember there is
a New Year coming and you want i: j
to be Happy New Year." says Insu--
ance Commissioner James R. Young in
a statement warning against the feed
ers for fire contained in many of the
materials commonly used in Christmas
decorations. "a little carelessness at
this time, a little over enthusiasm to
rake things pretty and attractive
about the home, without considering
carefully whether the material used Is
not likely to cause fire, might make
the New Year sad one by the injury
or death of a member of the family
and the destruction of the home by
fire. Just remember that the intro
duction about the premises of Christ
mas green's, harvest specimens and
other inf1ammable materials, such as
cotton to represent snow and the use
of n otion picture machines, constitu-
tes an additional hazard not contem-
plated by underwriters in issuing poll

Does The Skin Show Health?

One Of the cruelest of all fishwife
superstitions is the idea that a skin
eruption, blackheads and pimples, for
example, is sign-well, a sign of any
thing In particular that is wrong with
an individuals habits of health. That
1t has no such significance anyone
may observe in the numbers OF first
