Poor Mr.. McAdoo

Poor Mr.. McAdooi
Think Of the Jobs he's hitched up to do
The treasury, the railroad crew,
The income tax and then few.
Each week they hand him something new
To tax his time and temper. too.
He has to know when loans are due,
What source to get his bilious thru,
What fund to pass each dollar to.
Which tax Is what, and who Is who;
What bond to sell and what renew.
Which trust to coax and which to sue,
He stretches out each day or two.
To do the things he has to do.
The Job would founder me or you
But It's q cinch for McAdOo.

SAFETY FIRST

Don't allow children to touch the lighted tree.
 Don't remove presents from the tree while it is lighted.
 Don't leave anything highly intiam- mable near the tree.
 Don't set the tree up haphaZardiy. Be sure it is securely fastened, so it will not tip over easily.
 Don't blow candle out. The flame might be carried against dry branch and set fire to the whole tree,
 Don't fastcn any tinsel ornamen' near any lights on the tree. If one should ignite the blaze would spread all over the tree.
 Don't forget to fasten the candles securely to the tree if candles arc used. Also avoid placing them under another branch
 Always have a wet sponge convent

ent to the tree. A candle often burns up too quickly. and the sponge could be used to extinguish it.
 sure the lights are all extinguished. and never trust the work of extin- gushing the lights to children.
 Don't light the tree after it has stood in a warm room for three or four days. It becomes so dry it will burn almost as quickly as powder Don't trim the tree with cotton to represent snow. Use an asbestos preparation which looks like cotton. This applies particularly to those who illuminate their trees with candles
 Don't light the trees with anything but electric bulbs, if possible Where it is impossible to use electricity never leave the lighted tree alone and never allow children in the room un less accompanied by a grown-up per son.
 Don't set the tree up near uphol stercd furniture. The danger of sparks setting it on fire is great A piece of such furniture might smol der for hours without being dscov. cr"d-nrobably not until the family H'i b' on in bed some time.
