It was a very large water tumor, the said, weighed eisht pounds and the doctors never saw anything like it.' The girl stayed in the hospital a week and the bill was $240 dollars.

Holiday Season With Yule Trees Adds to Danger of Fires in Home By LIU-HE L. MADSEN . Cardaa Idltor, Tha Stalesmaa Tha Christmas , holiday season gives fire its best chance to strike at your home, says Charles Ross, farm forestry specialist. Combustible materials ia the home, possible relaxation of cau tions, and mora electrical devices in use add to fire hazards it this season, Rosa pointed aut this week in a "pre-Christmas warning" which he issued.

Concerning the tree itself, Ross urges people to obtain a fresh tree and keep it out door until ready for use. If you belong tp the group which must have the tree "up" two weeks, before Christmas, then switch trees a day or two before Christmas. In addition to being, dangerous from a fire standpoint, too dry tree branches are brittle j and shed needles all ever the. place. Use Water ' , : . Keeping tha tree in enough water is tha , most practical method for reducing it ftamma bllity. Thia will also keep tha tree green and fresh longer. Before placing the tree la Water, re-cut the steam with a new diagonal cut at least an inch above tha old cut. This ' will expose a fresh, moist surface that will ab sorb water. Rons advocates adding an anti septic , and germicide (such as Zephiran Chloride) to tbe water to check organisms that often form scum on the cut section. The j containers should be refilled with! water as needed to keep the water level above the cut surface. And, Ross adds, start this treatment as soon as you get the tree,, even if you are not going to bring It Into the house at once. Watch Heat ".our eel : Do not put the tree near any sources of beat such as fireplaces, or radiators. And do not, Ross stresses, put the tree in doorways or in locations that would block KODAKSuf 40 CAMIRA Step out with new confident in your picture taking .
