GLOWING the Tonuue,

A glove for the tongue has been
patented by an inventor Of Inulana. II
In chilled tongue shield" and IL de-
signed TO enable the wearer to escape
the unpleasantness Of castor oil or
other bsd.tastlng medicines. The con-
trivance might be sald 20 have the
shape Of n miniature slipper without
any heel portion, but when placed over
the tongue is Inverted. The tongue 10
Inserted into the "toe" part and the
back part OF the sole" extends over
the top OF the tongue toward tho
throat The device IA made OF thin
rubber, 40 as to be liquid proof, and
is 40 constructed as to NJ the tongue

medicine Is taken II passes into the
throat without affecting the sense Of
taste. 10 that all unpleasantness ls OBJ

PREVENT FIREs ALWAYS

This Is "fire prevention week.
II is strange that we should have &c
set aside days and weeks for spec
ial observation OF what should be q
constant effort.
Every year the American people,
largely through carelessness des-
troy more wealth than many OF the
nations OF the world possess. In
no manner do we demonstrate our
national wastefulness more than in
the number OF fires OF all kinds
which mark each years history.
Tho loss is appalling. To less
wealthy nation our fire losses each
year would spell ruin.
Every day during the school year
some school house some where In
this broad land burns and places
In jeopardy the lives OF many chill
dren. Every day some homo burns
and some family mourns tho loss OF
a mother or child. Il Ia true that
more mothers than fathers lose their
lives In fires. Yet this goes on
year after year.
We wonder n the tlmo will ever
come when matches will be kept out
OF tho reach OF children7 Surely
this Ia not a difflult task. Yet II
Is one OF the most frequent causes
OF fires In homes.
II Ontario mothers and fathers
would start today 10 put their
match boxes out OF the reach OF
their children they will have ae-
complished a real reform. Il IL
not much but II may mean the saw
Ing OF many lives. II Is worth try
Ing.

Ar,I,tlo Chinese Work.

Little jade trees growing sturdil,' IN
bowls OF the rarest clolsonne and bear.
Ing upon the intricately carved
branches, clustered close to the cool
green Of the Jade leaves, wonder fruits
Of coral and amber and delicately
wrought blossoms OF the translucent
white jade, might be a memory OF the
Arabian Nights and Aladdlns lamp.
They might be, but they are not.
They are tributes to the infinite pa
tience and skill OF the Chinese artisan
in seml-preclous stoves, and the zeal
Of the collector who buys with Ameri-
can gold the treasures OF the Far East
and gloatlngly carries them back
across the Pacific for the delight OF .
luxury loving people.
They are expensive. but they repre-
sent not only the toll Of years but the
expression OF the artists soul.

they are offered to Immediately in
form the officers so that they can
approhend the man and thus secure
evidence to detect the crime.
The officers cannot by some sixth
sense devine criminals. They must
act on tangible information. II

valuable contents taken, you would
appreciate the efforts Of the off
GERS to secure its returns, would you
not9 You would appreciate It, II
a neighbor having been offered

you not give your neighbor that
same protection for his property

tions as they are that this winter
will witness carnival OF small

he CAREFUL OF hooks

In the public library there is one
book which is so popular at present
that, though many have already
read II, there is a waiting list of
more than 30 who have asked for
Il. IL all who desire TO read II are
to have the pleasure and profit
they seek, those who do secure II
will have TO take better care OF II
than Is usually accorded a public H.
brary book.
Il Is strange, but true, that what
people receive for no direct ex-
pendlture, they little appreciate.
In reality, OF course, they should
appreciate that which they secure
gratuitously, even more than that
which they own. But they do not.
and that being true should be on
their guard when using other peo-
ple's property.
Six months ago the public library
received n shipment OF books, q
large portion OF which was OF the
popular fiction type. Already near
ly all OF these beeks have been so
worn that they have been or are out
OF circulation while being repaired.
Tho public ia responsible for this
condition. Though the art OF book
making has not maintained the
standard Of permanency which was
obtained when all books were hand
bound. stlll they are sufficiently
we'll made to Withstand reasonable
wear for n greater period than six
months.
The average book in the public
library. when II has been loaned n
half dozen times must 20 TO the
blndery for repairs. That ia mani
festly unfair to the public which
supports tho library. II works to
the detrlment OF those who use the
library. Il reduces the number OF
The Ontario Argus. (Ontario, Or.) 1???-1947, 1921-10-13

books which can be secured for the
money spent in repairs cannot be
spent for new books.
Perhaps It is too late to secure
change in the ways Of the older
readers. They have established
careless habits. They do not appre-
ciate the worth OF books, but sure
ly we can do something toward
educating the children to the need
for greater care for the public's
property.
II you have enjoyed a good book
from the public library, ought you
not take good care Of II, while II
is in your possession so that others
may enjoy Il, too7 II while you are
injurylng a book, one hundred
others are doing the same thing,
then together you are injurying the
opportunity each has of gaining fur
ther pleasure. Ontario and Malheur
county together cannot afford to
maintain the library system to the
standard II should have. The tax
payers are doing their very best
now. Those who use the privileges
OF the library system ought to be the
very ones who would so care for
the books they use that greater SER
vice would be secured.
The Ontario Argus. (Ontario, Or.) 1???-1947, 1921-10-13
AIDING WE THIEF

People, generally speaking, are
honest. The average man or woman
would not pause to aid burglar tc
open the door Of a residence or O
store building and thus become an
accomplice in a crime, even II they
we're told that they would have
their division OF the "swag."
Yet some Of these same people
will buy goods from strangers al
ridiculous prices when they should
know that goods thus offered are, in
all probability, stolen.
Instances OF this have been found
by the local police officers. Rc-
Gently a boy sold number Of silk
handkerchlefs for ten cents each,
which retail in the stores at from
