BROWN WARNS AGAINST
DANGER OF TREE CANDLES

The traditional Christmas candles
were attacked as fire hazards in a
warning issued by Garfield w. Brown,
state insurance commissioner and fire
marshall, who urged that holiday OBJ
servances be made as safe as possible.
Many disasters have resulted from
lighted candles which have ignited
highly inflamamble trees and decora-
ton, Mr.. Brown asserted, suggesting
that electric lights be submitted for
candles for Illuminating trees.
He urged as other precautions:
Where candles must be used they
should be so arranged that the tree
cannot be- ignited; Trees should be
kept away from stoves, lighted gas
jets and places where any possibili-
t. of their firing exists; Use of fire
proof decorations, removal of curtains
from windows where candles are
placed Cotton or similar substances
to stimulate snow should not be used
Churches, schools and other places OF
assembly should guard against fires
with particular enthusiasm, Mr.
Brown suggested. After observances
decoration should be removed be-
cause with drying they become more
inflammable, he said.

CHRISTMAS SEALS
HELPED IN COUNTY
Work in Promoting Health in
Redwood County Shows 267
: Were Examined

Christmas Seals have been at work
promoting health in Redwood county
during 1928, a report of the Redwood
County Public Health Association
shows. Among the important activi-
ties was a two weeks tuberculosis
case-finding study, conducted by Miss
Johnson, a nurse from the Minnesota
Public Health Association. Other ac-
tivities included five infants and
Children's Clinics at which total Of
267 persons were examined; three
tuberculosis clinics in Redwood Falls,
Lamberton and Walnut Grove and 1
Orthopedic Clinic at Wabasso, Heath
Marionettes at county fair in Red
wood Falls; 1 school scale sent; and
the distribution of Health Education
al material in quantities, including the
Northwestern Health Journal, sent
monthly, to schools throughout the
county.
How far the penny Christmas
Seals benefits travel. From a tiny
one room school house, where tuber-
culosis is prevented through teaching
boys and girls health habits, to the
laboratory of great university,
where scientists search day after day
for specific cure for tuberculosis.
This scope in activities of the Ma
tional tuberculosis Association and
it's affiliated county and state units
is revealed in a study of the program
made possible through double-barred
cross seals, according to county
Christmas Seal workers.
"Ninety-five percent of the funds
raised through the tuberculosis stamp
remains in Minnesota to finance spe-
cial county health projects and the
general statewide program, which
benefits every county, a statement
of the seals explains. Education
with special emphasis of the protec-
ton and development of the health
of children through drilling in proper
health practices is the keynote of the
campaign. This work is carried on
through health reference books, leaf
let's, posters, magazines, lectures,
movies, exhibits, meetings, newspaper
publicity, and other mediums.
Tuberculosis knows no boundary
lines. The unified national move
ment, which reaches into every cor
ner of the country, is the secret of
the successful campaign, which in 20
years cut the death rate in two"

GRADE CROSSINGS PROBLEM
TO GET MORE ATTENTION

The Interstate Commerce commits
sion has recommended that the rail-
roads concentrate their attention and
resources on doing away with dam
gerous grade crossings instead OF
spending further money on installa-
ton of train control devices.
The years 1923 to 1927 inclusive
there were 11,4S5 killed and 32,998
injured in grade crossing accidents.
In the same period there were 1,484
killed and 1878 injured in rail col
lisions and derailment.
In other words there were more
than seven times as many killed and
nearly twice as many injured in cross
ing accidents as in accidents on the
railroads. Any given sum of money
it is believed, will prevent many more
accidents if spent on grade separa-
tions than if spent on railroad safety
appliances.

AL SMITH GOES TO
WORK ON ADDRESS
Nominee Rests by Day and
Drafts His Acceptance
Speech at Night.

BIZ T.nitcd Press
ALBANY, N. Y, July 18.-Al-
though he is attempting to take a
rest Governor Alfred E. Smith will
devote an increasing amount of
time daily to preparing his speech
in acceptance of the Democratic
presidential nomination.
The first draft will be submitted
to a half dozen friends, advisers
and Democratic leaders for criti-
ciSm, and then it will be revised.
Four points probably will be
stressed by the Governor: Prohibi-
ton, agricultural relief, honesty in
government and efficiency in gov
eminent.
So far the Governor has sought
but little counsel. He has spent
hours by himself studying reports
and documents and has made pages
of notes, but he has produced only
a few pages Of manuscript.
He has been doing most of his
work in the cooler hours Of the
evening and night, because Of the
intense heat.
