Nover use lighted candles, Check the electric wiring for worn spots and loose connections. Don't over- lond the circuits. Be sure none of the electric bulbs touches a branch, Turn off the tree lights when you lenve the house or go to bed. Remove accumulations of gift wrapp- ings from around the tree, Use only fireproof decorations, never cotton or paper, 4nd finally, get rid of the tree by New Year's Day. 0-0-0 f. WORD OF CAUTION!
