Many of the costs which must be woven into our fabric can be controlled by us. For instance, let's consider the cost of accidents. If we all worked safely, accidents could be eliminated. Yes, eliminated not to mention the unnecessary pain, suffering, and personal costs. But there are other costs which we cannot control.

Here are a few simple rules which every adult should follow and every child should be taught: 1. Do not put leaves, flowers, seeds, beans, bulbs, or twigs in the mouth and /^A 11CA ? uu iiui ujc uiaui.uca ui twigs for preparing food in outdoor cooking unless you are certain they are of a harmless variety. 2.

Refrigerator shelves are often cadmium coated, the high temperature of burning charcoal can allow the cadmium to stick to the food, and illness or death can follow.
