Fire Prevention Week

This Is Fire Prevention week, a time set aside to reflect
on the costly peril of flame. In this country, 1t is cal
cuated, fire does q damage totaling approximately
e50o.000y000 q year.
Bismarck needs a week like this to think about fire.
This is not q city Of great losses from that cause and
vigilance is apt to grow dulled. Now and then a home
is burned out. but all summer 1t was mere grass fires
that called out tho department from time to time. What
Bismarck needs to have impressed on 1t is not to get
careless, in the absence Of home and business building
fires.

These occur In the forests every summer. and arc largely
due to careless campers and tourists. Campfires are not
extinguished and the blaze communicates to the under
brush and then to the stands Of trees. Or lightning fires

Carelcssness Is capable Of causing loss In the cities also.

A gentle but wel-supported bit Of Gliding comes to us
from the president Of the South Carolina Teachers as
ISOLATION, Prof. Harry Clark, who writes:
AT the opening Of the schools each year some
newspapers, unfortunately. use cartoons Of un-
willing boys being forced into schools. AS public
servants who are trying to render the largest pos
sible service, We teachers feel that such newspa-
per features create q harmful attitude in the
childS mind. In these days of small families,
the school supplies the child with needed social
contacts-it is to him a party" The modern
school has so much to interest the modern child
that even counties with no compulsory attendance

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Vine Poisoning

Question: Mrs. H. writes: Il have
read in newspapers that being subject
to ivy poison was merely a matter of
diet. and with the proper diet. Inn
munity from this poison could be
brought about. Is this true. and il SO
where could I learn this diet?'
Answer: Live on a diet free from
bad food combinations and you will
be able to build up your blood carbon
ate reserve so as to resist the invasion
of the vine poison. The weekly menu
published in this column should be
sufficient to accomplish this for tho
average person.
Baby's Diet
Question: Mrs. I. o. ]. asks: rs
oatmeal a sufficient food for a baby
one year cid? If not. what is a good
diet without MILK"
Answer: A baby one year Of age
should have only milk and orange
juice. Cereals should not be added
until the third year. The first food

some Of the meals. and protcins added
to the greens at other times when the
milk should be left out.
rhlebltlS
Question: mrs. B. asks: "Will you
please tell me what would cause q
'phlebitis leg after an operation for
acute appendicitis"
Answer: Phlebitis Is often present
after an operation in the lower alb
domen. A swelling in the leg Is
caused by some interference with the
circulation Of blood or lymph. This
is due to an injury from the opera
ton and usually caused by the remov-
al of some of the lymphatics in the
groin.
Cucumbers and Ice Cream
Question: n. G. asks: rs 1t all
right to use cucumbers and ice cream
at the same meal?"
Answer: Cucumbers and ice cream
make a good combination, providing
the cucumbers are not favored with
dressing and the ice ear is made
of real cream and docs no. contain
any cornstarch.

That the way to reform law
breakers is to put them to work
at hard labor. That some people
are so constituted that a Jail SEN
tence carries with it no sense of
stigma, but is rather looked upon
as a lark. That the prospect of a
few days hard manual labor would
be more of a punishment than
sixty days in Jail. This might be
a suggestion for the Roosevelt
county mayors and aldermen who
plan to codify the city ordinances.
And it might help out on getting
the various city streets gravelled.

MRS. JOE KITTOCK
WRITESFROM EAST
GIVES SIDELIGHT ON NEW
YORK LIFE

The Herald this week is in re
ceipt of an interesting letter from
Mrs. Joe Kittock, who has been
living in New York for more than
a year. Along about Christmas
time Mrs. Kittock seemed unable
to get her Herald each week, and
we wrote the Nv York postmaster
about it. incidentally, it might be
said that the courtesy and prompt
ness with which the matter was
checked up in that metropolis is
evidence of the service being Civ
Ell by Uncle Sans postal en-
ployees.
Mrs. Kittock's letter was written
to thank us for helping her get
the Herald. She says in part:
Life In New York

regularly. In the first place | had
the paper put in IT of Mrs.
T because l got the mail in
the same box as she did, and at
that time l didn't know her for
what she is. Mrs. T is now
in prison for stealing mail and
taking a check and cashing it, and
she took that check out of the
mail. Some of my mail she also
took, but l didn't think she would
do anything to my paper. But
now | begin to think she must
have stopped the paper for me.
She got sore at me because she
knew l wouldn't vote for Smith
,or president. Like most of the
people from the underworld they
.hink that they would get more
But l am sure glad that
Smith didn't get elected.
