Health Chief Gives
Suggestions for
Fourth of july

DIR. William J. Young head of the
Waterville Health department gives
out the following pertinent sugges-
tons relative to the Fourth of July.
AS the glorious Fourth is near at
hand the following suggestions are
now in order:
Very young children should not be
given fireworks to play with.
Parents should try to make this a
careful Fourth as well as a glorious
Fourth for the children.
Keep burning sparlllers away from
clothing or inflamable materials.
Avoid playing pranks and fright
ing children with fireworks. They are
not for that purpose.
Do not experiment with explosives
but use fireworks as they are intend
ed to be used.
Don't let little children put them
in their mouths.
Above all, avoid using blank cart
ridges in any revolver, either e~pen-
sive or cheaply constructed.
In case of accident call physician
at once for he can stop your child
having lockjaw if he sees the patient
soon enough by the use of anti
Itetanus serum.

One of the great difficulties with
Jury trial has been that the jurors

The clear, strong voice has had an
advantage over the low, weak voice.
But all will be equal in the criminal
part of the Brooklyn Supreme Court
where a Public Address System has
been installed with a microphone be-
fore the witness stand and sound pro-
jectors over the jury box.
