P an \rr?i 1 a\;nirl nainfnl ir>_ jury and illness of youngsters by observing the following suggestions recommended by safety experts: 1. Put a lock on the medicine chest?at least on the section containing poison, aspirin, laxatives and other pills which may tempt a child to taste. 2. Avoid slippery floor finishes. Clay tiles and other floor surfaces which do not need to be shined are safe. 3. Don't let children take a radio to the bathroom. There have been instances where little tots have been electrocuted trying to tune in a program while bathing. 4. A movable step is best so that tots can reach water faucets easily. A low mirrow on the door will permit IU view niciiiacivc^ without climbing up on something. 5. Dispose of used razor blades promptly and keep new ones in a safe spot. 6. Teach children to return soap to soap dishes so that they will not leave them on floor or tub. 7. Keep cleaning materials out of reach. A young child likes to taste anything he can find. 8. Keep the hot water heater around 125 degrees Fahrenheit, below the srald ing point. 9. No matter what happens in your home, never leave a small child alone in the bathroom. Words of Wisdom Here are a few words of wisdom: Never let difficulty stop you, for it may be only your sidetrack to stop you from skidding. Use the talents you possess, for the woods would be very silent if no birds sang except the best. A train of thought is a good thing if it is going somewhere. Never tell your friends anything you don't want your enemies to know. One of the ways to reach a ripe old age is to stop feeling responsible for the whole human race. The graveyards are full of those who have tried it. Don't look for a ship to come in if you haven't sent one out. You can't change the past but you can ruin the present by worrying over the future OCTOBER CLINTON COTT Charles E. Armstrong?Weaving J Thomas Wilson Barnes? E Weaving h Margaret D.
