Storage stcks of dairy products
- were large on May 1, 1924 as com-
pared with a year ago. American
cheese in storage was almost double
the quantity on hand a year ago, and
the same was true of both barrel and
box apples. Quantities of pork, beef
and lard were slightly larger than
last year, the twenty per cent in-
7S Me erease of lard being the most impor-
tant change. The usual April stor-
ing of eggs resulted in the same
volume in storage on May first as in
1923. Holdings of turkeys amount-
ed to 95 per rent of a year age, but
other poultry in storage totaled only
: about 70 per cent. Recent market

Perils in the Hoine
Told by Risk Company |
Mark Twaln once called attention to
the peril which surrounds a bed since
80 many people die there, According
{o an Insurance company, home is not
an entirely safe piace elther., This
concern learns from an examination
of Its records that out of every 88
accldental deaths nine take place in
the home,
Thus nearly one-sixth of the fatal
accidents occur In an environment in
which one might reasonably expect to
be protected from danger of Injury.
Age, however, has a bearing on the
situation, Children are In greater
peril than when they develop Into
youth, and the danger Increases as one
passes from middle age. Burns, falls
and inhaling poisonous gases are the
chief causes of fatal aceldents in the
home.
We are accustomed to consider the
peril which attends traffic In the street
and employment in many lines of in-

| dustry. The fact that it is impressed
on us may make us more cautious.
Thus many accidents may be avolded
which would otherwise happen were
we regardless of the danger. Because
we feel safe when within the walls we
call home, may in some measure be
responsible for the accidents which
occur there. Qur surroundings being
so familiar the sense of lurking dan-
ger in an open fire, or a loose board
on a step, does not suggest itself.
After the damage Is done we may per-
celve wherein we erred, but it is too
late to remedy the harm done. We
are never entirely free from peril
whether at home or abroad, but we
are likely to have a keener apprecia-
the opposite may be one's undoing at
home.—Pittshurgh Telegraph.
