another slate and it was apparent to me that her lf-year-old un
married daujhter'wae at least seven monthi along. I mentioned
it and was told the girl picked up weight when sht visited ia Iowa
recently. . l- , , '
A few weeks later when I returned home my sister phoned to
tay her daughter was rushed to the hospital for an emergency
operation. 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.
I am burned up to think that they would try to pull such
foolish stufl on the family. Have you ever heard of a lf-year-old
girl having an eight pound water tumor? Pirate help me ex

the Board of Health?-N.K.J. . . V

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

Rosa goes on to say that light

year before using for frayed wires,
loose connections and broken sock

as soon as possible. Use non-combustible
materials such as metal,
glass asbestos, with which ta
decorate the home. If you do use
untreated paper, cotton batting,
and cloth costuming, have it
flameproofed. Santa Claus whisk
ers have been the cause of many
home tragedies aa Christmas.
