TEACH FIRE PREVENTION IN
SCHOOLS.
The Insurance Age Journal of Mar¬
blehead, Massachusetts, says: “Cer¬
tain national tendencies which seem
to be inherent within the hearts of
young and irresponsible people in
this country make them too fond of
fires to seek their prevention serious¬
ly. They love to see the engines and
other apparatus dashing madly
through the streets; to thrill at the
sound of the sirens and gongs; and to
fall in with the ever-increasing group
hurrying in the direction indicated
asking, ‘Where's the fire?'
“Once at the conflagration, with the
possible exception of dwelling houses,
hope against hope is expressed that
the fire will not be extinguished too
soon, that it shall continue to amuse.
Everyone wants to see a big fire. If
it’s a business or commercial building,
they think, ‘The owner’s carrying in¬
surance, so where’s the loss?”’
Physical culture is a part of school
and college work in order to benefit
individuals physically and prolong
life. When one considers that last
year some 15,000 persons were killed
in fires, not to mention those injured,
and that over $500,000,000 worth of
property went up in smoke, it would
seem that one of the greatest services
that our public schools and colleges
could render to the coming generation
would be regular and systematic, in¬
struction in fire prevention work.
Every single person in the land is
of necessity forced to use fire in some
form or other. Then why should they
go uninstructed as to proper methods
in safeguarding its use?—Manufac¬

LOOK BEFORE YOU CROSS.
Drivers of automobiles should be
doubly cautious -in crossing railroad
tracks where the highway parallels
the railroad.
No railroad crossing should be
crossed without looking in both di
rlbtions and it is particularly neces¬
sary to safety that this be done when
crossing where railroad and highway
parallel each other.
Carelessness on the part of the driv¬
er at such crossings is attended by
great danger.
Bear in mind that gears should not
be shifted on or near the track. Many
machines stall when shifting gears.
If necessary to shift gears do so not
less than 75 feet from track, then look
in both directions before crossing.
A railroad crossing is dangerous
only when made so by careless driv¬
ing. No prudent person would run
over a red light in the highway for
it is there as a warning, yet motor¬
ists frequently not only run over a
crossing flagman find break down
Weak In Back
and Sides
“Before the birth of my
little girl,” says Mrs. Lena
Stancil, of R. F. D. 2, Mat¬
thews, Mo., "I was so weak
In my back and sides I could
not go about. I was too
weak to stand up or do any
work. I felt like my back
was coming in two. I lost
weight I didn’t eat any¬
thing much and was so rest¬
less I couldn’t sleep nights.
"My mother used to take
CARDUI
For Female Mies
so I sent to get it I im¬
proved after my first bottle.
Cardul is certainly a great
help for nervousness and
weak back. I took b!x bot¬
tles of Cardul and by then I
was well and strong, just
did fins from then on. Cardul
helped me so much.”
Thousands of weak, suf¬
fering women have taken
Cardul, knowing that it had
helped their mothers or gained their
friends, and soon
strength and got rid of their
pates.
Cardul should do you a lot
of good.
All Druggists’
gates warning them of an
train, but with scarcely
frequency run into a train from
to five cars back of the engine,
then ask taxpayers to tax them¬
for grade changes to eliminate
danger, when the danger is not
the crossing but in the driver.—

Music Club Studies
Six Italian Operas
The Camilla Music Study Club held
a most interesting meeting on Wed¬
nesday afternoon of last week at'the
club rooms in the city hall, which were
beautified with the use of fall roses
and coral vine, arranged in vases and
wall pockets.
The program for the afternoon was
the third of a series of six programs
in the study of Italian opera. These
studies are getting to be more and
more pleasurable as well as helpful
to the club membership. The two
programs on Verdi were followed by
the study Wednesday of the life of
Mascagni, and his masterpiece, the
opera, “Gavalleria Rustieana.” Mrs.
M. M. Acree led the program. A pa¬
per on the life of Mascagni was given
by Mrs. J. D. Ledbetter. Mrs. Em¬
mett Acree told the story of the ope¬
ra, “Gavalleria Rustieana,” and Mrs.
D. D. Burgess gave a paper of the life
of Caruso. Several enjoyable piano
selections were rendered.

occasion. During the social half hour

Man Carries The
Same Umbrella For
Forty-five Years
KANSAS, CITY.—In this age of
making and breaking record's, why
not establish one for carrying an
umbrella ?
If already there is such a record,
Rep. Ernst R. Ackerman, Plainfield,
N. J., not only expects to break it,
but set up a new one that will chal¬
lenge all umbrelladom.
Mr. Ackerman, who was here with
the congressional committee that in¬
spected the federal penitentiary at
Leavenworth, said he made a wager
45 years ago with a friend in Liver¬
pool, England, that he could carry
an umbrella longer than the friend.
“My friend carried his three years,
and I still am carrying mine,” Mr.
Ackerman said: “I have covered 665,
000 miles with the umbrella and vis¬
ited 110 countries. I expect to carry
it 1,000,000 miles and defy any and
all previous records. The stick and
the framework are the original. I
have had it covered several times.
