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 infiam-
mable near the tree.
Don't set the tree up haphaZardly.
BE sure it is securely fastened SO it
will not tip over easily.
Don't blow a candle out. The fame
might be carried against dry branch
and set fire to the whole tree.
Don't fasten any tinsel ornament
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 are
used. Also avoid placing them I'M
der another branch.
Always have q wet sponge cOnven-
lent to the tree. A candle often burns
up too quickly, and the sponge could
be used to eXtinguish it.
Don't leave the tree until you are
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 q warm room for three or
four days. 1t becomes SO dry it will
burn almost as quickly as powder.
Don't trim The tree with cotton to
represent snow. Use an asbestos prep
aratiOn which looks like cotton. This
applies particularly to those who illu-
inmate their trees with candles.
Don't light the trees with anything
but electric bulbs, if possible. Where
1t is impossible to use electricity never
leave the lighted tree alone and never
allow children in the room unless ac-
c0mpanied by a grown-up person.
Don't set the tree up near uphol-
stored furniture. The danger Of
sparks setting it afire is great. A
piece of such furniture might smol-
der for hours without being diScOv-
ered-probably not until the family
has been in bed some time.

The nerves of the body are
not unlike the telegraph system
at the Front. The millions of
nerve filaments are like a net
work Of wires that keep all the
trenches in close sympathy and
communion. Food supplies and
reinforcements are dispatched
here and there and so the nerves
send increased blood and nour-
ishment where it Is most re-
CURED. The nerve cells guide
the heart and stomach. BY this
means the stream of blood Ia
den with nourishment is sent
to every part Of the body.
So 1t Is that the blood feeds
the nerves. If blood is impov-
erished, we feel sleep
less - "fidgety." The blood
needs to be built up. There
should be about fifty grains Of
iron in the body, or as much as
is contained in an ordinary 'ten-
penny" nail. If we lack iron in
our blood, we are pale, anemic,
with no vim. We are nervous
or tired. The thing to do Is to
