CHRISTMAS FIRE
DANGER GREAT
EXTREME CARE is NECESSARY
AT THIS TIME TO PREVENT
DISASTERS

The greater part of the fire loss il
winter is due to poor chimneys, dan
gercus installation of heating devices,
smoke pipes, hot-air pipes and regis
tiers and to roof fires, the last causing
a majority of the fire alarms.
There are, however, some special
hazards against which we should
guard. First among these is the
Christmas tree fire hazards. a Christ
mas time fire is especially to be avoid
ed because of the danger to life and
the ruin of the seasons pleasure NJ
place can be counted as absolute safe
at the time of such a fire. At Babb's
Switch, in Oklahoma, in a one-story
frame school house, last Christmas
thirty seven children lost their lives,
MANY of them burned beyond recogni
ton. A few special cautions oa'y are
offered. Avoid the use OF Gotten for
trimming and decorating, imitation
hair Santa Claus whiskers and cot
ton suits, paper decorations and SINH
lac combustible meterials. a sbestos
or mineral wool instead of cotton
should be used, and tinsel and glass
instead of paper garland Electric
lights are safer than candles.
Where special show lighting is
used, the same should be installed by

Christmas time brings a great deal

Immediately or properly stored
Christmas tree candles should be

A few fires each winter are re.
ported as caused by efforts to thaw
out frozen water pipes by the use Of
flame, live Goals or torches Wrap

then pouring boiling water on this

without any danger of setting the

OdIS uuSL DG exercised IN storing
soft coal The bin should be of in
combustible material and have a safe
clearance to boilers, furnaces, smoke
and hot-air pipes. Coal should not be
piled up to the. ceiling The higher
the pile the greater the liability of
spontaneous combustion in soft coal.
In case of fire in soft coal bin, the
only safe way is to remove the coal
to the outside. Coal in the bin should
never be wetted down. Such coal as
is Immediately used may be wetted
down. Mixing ashes, oily waste and
rags, paper or wood with coal is dan
gerOus. Storage of ashes in wooden re-
ceptacles causes many fires.
Sometimes the gases arising from
burning coal piles are sufficient to
snuff out human life. SAFETY

the sinless Nazarene verified this
prophecy. The record presents Him as
repudiating every evidence of physical
sense, annulling every assertion of
material law, denying and casting out
every argument of material belief,
shifting with the rod of His mouth the
countless suggestions of the sight of
the eyes and the hearing of the ears
such as today would tempt you and
me to believe that all that is in the
world is true and real, and therefore
God-made.
Material Things Unreal.
All that is in the world is in
truth not of the Father as ST.
John has said. The sinfulness of
material belief is, manifestly, it's en-
nifty against God. If material things
are real, God made them or He is
not the only creator. If God made
material things, He must have made
the bad things as well as the good
things. Would a God who made bad
things be Il good God? Is 1t any
wonder that the beloved Son of God
should refuse to base His judgment
on what the eyes saw and the ears
heard?
THE disciple of materialism may
say, 1 cannot deny that which my
eyes plainly see and my ears clearly
hear. The answer is, then you
must accept responsibility for main
tanning an impudent accusation
against God. You may choose to try
to ignore this responsibility, but you
cannot avoid paying the price. The
practice of Christian Science, now
verified by the accumulated proof Of
half a century of active operation,
demonstrates that the ills of the flesh
are due to the beliefs of the flesh,
to a false sense of life in matter and
apart from Spirit. In the proportion
that the Christian of today learns to
master the sinful sense of reality in
aught that is not of the nature of
God is Christian healing achieved.
1T Is not true that one cannot
deny the evidence of the material
senses. He who says he cannot
means only that, as yet, he will not.
Whosoever will may come. There
is way out. 1t Is the way of the
great Way-shower, who was without
in the reality of anything that would
deny that man is now the complete
son of God; the Way-shower. who
from the standpoint of His utter
reputation of the sight of the eyes
and the hearing of the ears, could
say with absolute conviction to men
and women Of his time, men and
women like you and me, The king
dom Of God is within you.' BE We
therefore perfect, even as your
Father which is in Heaven is per
feet"

CITIES TAKE OVER

Will Garry on Efforts Started by
Their Child Guidance
Clinics.

The child guidance clinic, creation
of the National Committee for Mental
Hygiene. has been definitely accepted
by a number of communities during
the past year as a valuable addition
to their social forces, according to a
report just published by that organ
ization on the work Of it's divisions for
the prevention of delinquency.
Minneapolis and St. Paul, st. Louis.
Dallas, Memphis and Los Angeles
have taken over on a permanent basis
the demonstration" clinics organized
and stated by the Mental Hygiene
Committee to deal with children that
have become problems to their par
ents and teachers. New demonst1a-
tions are now in progress In CleVe-
land and Philadelphia. Conceived
originally as mechanism for the
examination and study of delinquent
boys and girls brought to the atten-
ton Of the juvenile courts, the child
guidance demonstration cline, the
report explains, has evolved into a
community enterprise serving not
only. the courts, but also the schools,
homes and social agencies in their
dealings with juvenile behavior prob

and st. Paul contacts We're made with
