CHRISTMAS CANDLES

THE Christmas candle is a beautiful thing and highly desirable
when it burns IN a safe place. Everywhere else IL is too danger
: Gus TO justify IFS use, no matter how beautiful the sentiment that
prompts its lighting. Co.,
The National Board of Fire Underwriters has just issued a bull
letnn calling attention to what il terms AN Insane Christmas Sug.
gestion-" It appears that one John II, Stedman, of Rochester, N W
has sent throughout the country q circular calling for the revival of
the Christmas Candle, 2" being a lighted candle in the window, based
upon the pretty sentiment that "a lighted candle set in the window
Christmas eve, will guide the Babe OF Bethlehem to your home that
he may bring you happiness The FIRE underwriters' board points
out that the candle, SO placed in close proximity TO highly inhsm-
mable lace or other curtains in thousands of homes, is much more
likely to bring the fire department to your home to bring you a wet
ting, a heavy loss and q gloomy Christmas.
In the winter Of 1917 some administrator in the American Rod
Cross with more sentiment than sense proposed that every American
home place a lighted candle behind the paper service flag, then being
widely used in the windows of our homes. The fire underwriters in
stantly saw the disastrous possibilities Of this proposal and called il
to the attention Of the Red Cross chiefs. The organization spent
thousands Of dollars in an effort to stop the suggestion. 1t did its
deadly work, however, in hundreds of fires on Christmas eve.
The Christmas candle IN & beautiful thing; its use is a beautiful
custom. But the lighted candle is only safe in a candle stick, far
removed from contact with any inhammable material.

does seek TO eliminate business practices unfair to other business or
the public.
Since its organization, almost five years ago, the commission has
received 1890 complaints Of alleged unfair competition. That less
than 400 o year. an insignificant percentage in a country where bus
mess piays such a large and active role in life. OF these complaints
992 were dismissed, 537 were n>process Of examination at the first
time the report was prepared, leaving 461 applications deemed
worthy of formal complaint by the commission.
That is truly a fine business record. Here's a commission
charged with the duty Of cOmbing the country for acts of unfair
competition in business, and since March 16, 1915, it has been able
to nail down the charge in only 46l instances. When one compares
that figure with the total of individuals and corporations doing bus
mess in the United States one is impressed with the conviction that
business has learned that while competition is the fife of trade, un.
fair competition is its death. Business, evidently, had come to know
as much even before congress said; Unfair methods Of competition
in commerce are hereby declared unlawful
The Federal Trade commission found a pretty well ordered
house of business when the commission began its investigation in
1915; the house has been kept fairly so ever since. The commission
has found some rats in the business structure; these arc being ex.
terminated az rapidly as possible. Their determination is in the in.
terest of business and the public.
But, on the whole, business as it is transacted in America, may
well be proud Of its record.

To Do His Best
by nm. JAMES I. VANCE.

by DIX. JAMES l. VANCE.
Why was man given the ability he
has? He possesses "A genius for his
task. His fingers seem TO have been
made for just that kind Of work. His
brain seems to throw on thought for
Just such activity. His mental re-
actions arc swift and u He
seems to have been built to do the
thing he Is doing.
Why? Was II accidental or lmen-
tional? Is the man thus equipped
for his work In order hat he may
use so per sem OF his ability, and
let h other so per cent go to
waste?
You would not erect n hundred
horsepower engine to run a ten
horsepower machine.
Tho plan IL not for all mon to do
h same amount of work, but for
each mar to dc his best.
II God expects a hundred per cent
man to do only a fifty per cent job.
why did lilo not make him n fifty
per cent man? Why build n ten
talent personality to fill a %"
personalities place?
Yet much OF modern industry IN
conducted on this basis.
The best a to help n weak man
is not to make yourself half a man.
Two horses are hitched to the Same
wagon. One Is II powerful beast, the
other Is spawned. The strong horse
will best help his mate, not by re-
ducing his haul to the capacity of "A
spawned horse. but by pulling all
the load he can.
II is so In life. Don't be afraid
you will work yourself out Of n job.
There is too much to be done. Tho
skilled man who declines to use his
powers will find that they atrophy.
There Is u worse penalty for ineffi-
cheney ,.i-d a reduced wage.
We must do our best with what
We have and make the most of what
we are.

stances. complaining of hard luck,

She could walk, you see, and also

and when l squeezed her h said,

Then when / put her down she
toppled right over. i though she
was sick at first, but I o o found
a key right in the middle OF her
back, and when / wound Il up. she
was ready TO walk around again.
One OF the little dollies looked W
fully funny. She didn't have
hair and one OF her legs was missing.
Santa Claus came along then and
put some bright yellow treases on her
head and attached the leg. He asked
me to take her to the dolls %drygoods
store and there she got u new dress
and hat and everything that little girls
wear. My but h looked nice. And
now she wants to come down the
