A campaign for a rational and sane celebration of independence day began a few years ago, and the results ob- tained nave been ao marked as to merit more than a passing notice. A few years ago the celebration of our Fourth of July was attended with- so much noise and enthusiasm and re- sulted in the Injury and death of so many children throughout the country, that a national campaign to eliminate much of this loss of life and property was inaugurated by the National Fire Protection association. This movement has received the co- operation of the newspapers and busi- ness men's associations and patriotic citizens throughout the country to such a marked degree that the deaths and injuries have steadily decreased Blnco 1903. Harked Decrease.

One of the terrible aftermaths of the accidents which Usually occur on July Fourth, caused by blank cartridges, toy cannons, etc., is the great many casea of tetanus, or lock-jaw, which follow these oft-times trivial wounde. The United States public health serv- ice has token this matter la band and has waged a campaign to eliminate this dread disease, and as a result the deaths from tetanus, following Fourth of July celebrations, have been re- duced very greatly each year. The health department haa recently issued a report outlining the result which has been obtained since 1908. Real JLtfe Conservation. "In 1903,** says the report, "there were 417 Fourth of July victims of that dread malady; In 1909 the num- ber had been reduced to ISO; while from lent year's celebration there were but three, fbia la Mf• conserva- tion la the true sense of the term. Why not entirely eliminate the disease this year? "The blank cartridge wound la the great cause of Fourth of July tetanus.

A little forethought and caretaking during this day will pre- vent much suffering and great prop- erty lose. If yen Intend to have fireworks Don't leave fireworks peeked or un- packed.

Don't scratch matches hi the same room with the fireworks. No one can toll where a match head will go. Don't permit smoking In the same ALL DAY OBSERVANCE OF 4TH IN GLENCOE If it is desired to unpack fireworks before the evening of the Fourth, ar- range them In a sate puce and then cover them with a piece of canvas, rubber blanket, or some non-combusti- ble material. Don't permit anyone, while your dis- play la In... progress, to approach the main supply of fireworks with lighted punk stick, clgsr, pipe or cigarette. Don't place supply * ferns sparks from the display can by a.iy chance reach it Never forget that powerful explosives are being handled, Keep a few buckets of water at hand against possible need, and as an addi- tional precaution have your garden hose connected to the water pipe ready for use. Don't allow little children, especially girls with sheer, easily Ignited dresses, to play with fireworks, (even the re- puted safe sparkler).unless they aro carefully watched and supervised by persons of mature age. These "don'ts" are intended as "re- minders." The dangers they cover are ao familiar that tew people think to guard against all of them. Yet it u thB disregard of the ordinary pre cautjons against fire which permits the Innumerable small fires, and so helps to Iwell our national fire waste.
