alton of Sunday Schools of the city
was held yesterday afternoon in Trim
ity Methodist Church for the purpose
O.: raising a Christmas fund for the
of the weather, the meeting was not
largely attended, though the collec-
ton this year is not expected to fall
far behind that of last year. Mr..
Hugh C. Haynsworth acted as chair
man of the meeting and Mr.. D. w.
Cuttino was elected temporary secre-
tary.
On motion, all the old officers were
reelected for another year and Mr..
Barlow Walsh, the chairman, was
given authority to call to his assist
ance three others whom he might Sc
lect Mr.. Broughton, treasurer of the
committee, submitted his report for
the past year, which showed bal
ance on hand of 172.43, this amount
being what was left of the amount
collected last year. Committees were
called for from all the churches to
assist the chairman in purchasing and
distributing the goods among the poor
but only few names were handed
in. The Sunday schools which did
not report yesterday are requested to
to hand in the names Of their COM
mitttees at once. Those committees
which were handed in are as follows:

dress Of the afternoon, after which
the collection was taken. This result
ed in s471.5O being raised, exclusive
Of the interest from the Tuomey and
DuRant funds, which amounts were
not reported at the meeting. It IS
estimated, however, that they will,
amount to practically $4,000, thus
making grand total Of about s791.5o.
This amount falls short of last years
by only sixty dollars. and
as donations to the fund are still COM
rg in, it is thought that the collection
this year will be fully as large as 1t
was last season. The individual col

come only recently to recognize the
importance of the teeth; and to many
laymen the claims that are made for
the possible effects of bad teeth must
seem wildly exaggerated. Who could
imagine, for example, pain in the
knee being cured by the extraction OF
a bad molar? Yet | know just such
a case.
Indeed, I am ready now to believe
almost anything, having proved by
my own experience that one may have
been faithful to the dentist all his life,
and yet find under the X-ray condi-
tions sufficient to cause any disease
from dyspepsia to housemaid's knee.
If you do not know what's the mat
ter, and if the doctor, wagging his
head wisely and telling you that there
is no organic trouble, doesn't know
what's the matter either, go and get
your teeth X-rayed. This is my ad-
vice; it cost me more than thirty
years of suffering and hopelessness. /
pass it on in the faith that to many
others, in whom hope is fast evapor-
ating, it may prove a guide to the
Promised Land; that they may dis
cover, as l did, that the health they
seek is waiting for them in the dem
tist s chair.

(Chief Hammond Fire Department.


Let us find out something about YOU
something that you may not even
know yourself Are you careless? That
makes you STOP and think a bit. doesn't
it7 You had never considered it in quite
that way. but il you are honest with
yourself. the answer probably will be
yes for almost every body IN this
country is careless; that is the princi-
pal reason why VIC have so many fires.
Here are some figures that should
open our eyes In 1913. the year before
the outbreak Of the war. the avera ge
fre-loss for each man. woman and child
in France was 40 cents; in England it
was 80 cents; in Germany IS cents. in
Austria. rs cents: in Italy. % cents. ia
Switzerland. Is cents. and in Holland
only II cents.
In the United States for the same
year the direct loss was s2.1o-and the
indirect loss was far higher. Our rec
ord was. therefore more than four
times as bad as that OF France and
nearly twenty times as bad IS that %
Holland.
Vienna and Chicago are cities OF
about the same size. Vienna had fire
losses for the year 1918 or s3o3. 200.
Chicago's we're s5,I3237. or more than
eighteen times as great. New York City
1re losses were about four and half
times as large as those of London 4
similar comparison might he made with
many other cities. Can We Be proud 81
such figures?
Carelessness the Greatest Cause.
OF course. there are mere wooden
buildings in American than n Europe
This is condition which VIII take
many years TO change. But the most
serious cause OF FIRES could be removed
at once, II all the people would assist.
this cause is found in one word-care-
lessness The National Board Of Fire
Underwriters makes a study Of hum
dreds Of thousands OF Ares and has
prepared tables which show that in 1915
2s.9 per cent of all American fires came
from strictly preventsble causes while
AIS per cent were partly preventable.
and 2s.S per cent came from unknown
causes which probably were largely
preventable.
It must then be admitted that the
United States. with all its advantages,
is nation OF careless people. Care
lessnes is not thing 70 be proud Of.
