Because many men fail during the

TWO-MINUTE TALKS ON
SAFETY.
No. 81.
FORMING THE SAFETY HABIT


In this series of safety talks
attention has been called to a
few of the dangerous practices
which daily produce more Grip
pies in our country, or rob our
homes of loved ones. the mother,
the wage-earner or the child.
Many happy homes arc broken
UP and widow with several
young children is left to battle
against poverty all because or
some ones carelessness.
A child in its happy young
life is doomed 10 spend the rest
of its days as d hopeless cripple
or invalid. or ii is snatched en-
tirely from this life and its
home, because some one was
reckless. or because its own
mother failed to use proper pre-
cautions around the home, or to
teach her child little lessons of
safety. A happy party of young
people out for d ride is suddenly
changed into hurried trip to
the hospital, because the fellow
or girl at the wheel was having
such a good time that he or she
forgot that engines ran on tracks.
or that there were other auto
inOblieS on the Iodu peSluS
theirs.
We read every day of some
serious accident either i'll
home or on the street. but we
pay little attention to the item,
because the accident didn't oc-
cur in our home or TO our loved
ones, but to prevent such an oc-
currence we must be on our
guard at all times
1t is safe to say that moro
than 90 per cent of all acciden hts
are strictly preventable and
would never happen if some one
used little carc--a little
thought at the proper time.
1t is just as easy, usually
easier. to do things right as to
do them wrong-to do them
safely as TO do them carelesSly,
il is all matter of habit. Form
the safety habit yourself. then
teach il 10 your children. They
are never too young to be
taught the principle of self
preservation.

ach and is pressing up against your
heart and lungs. 3. A dull, lazy
feeling, which means that you are
not getting the nourishment from
what you are eating. 4. Restlessness,
unrefreshing sleep, which means
that the poisons of Indigestion are
disturbing your brain and nerves.
;. Sometimes, pain and fluttering
around the heart, though this symp-
tom may com later.

tion-you are too apt to lose. If you

Are there any rules governing

putting out the hole?
There is no rule controlling the
positions of players waiting for
another to finish his turn at putt
ing. The etiquette of golf governs
that you should not stand near a
player while he is making his
stroke, or move or talk, There is
an additional point that you
should not stand beyond the hole,
