That Christmas Tree: Do not dec orate it with filmsey material hung too near candles or lights. Don't , decorate your tree with paper, cot- ton or any inflammable material. Use tinsel or other non-inflaminable ! material for decorations and be sure t to set the tree securely so that the children and even the "grown-ups" I in reaching for things cannot tip it' j over. Do not use cotton to represent snow. If you must have snow use powdered mica or asbestos fibre. ! Do not use candles, where elec tricity can be substituted. Kven with the use of electric batteries they .. would be far safer thnn the use of candles. If candles are UJed let only the utmost caution prevail. Do The singular'- narfc 'ahmif .thmut. an. .
