CHRISTMAS GIVING
The Christmas season is near and with it comes the thought of Chistmas giving. You an d I wonder what to give Her—or Him—for Christmas. Shall we give a box of candy, whose
sweetness is lost in a few brief haurs and the gift forgotten? Shall we give a jewel—a bauble—a thing of beauty- but with no real value? Or shall we give something useful—something that
will be of some real good to the or.e receiving it and something that has beauty as well and will be a reminder of the thoughtfuln s? of the giver for long time to come. To be sure, above all
things, give something useful and not join the “Society for the Propogation of Useless Giving. '
Take for instance your mother or your sister. What would give her more pleasure than ;o receive a beautiful Casserole ,ot only a thing of surpassing beauty, but a thing of surpassing
usefulness. What would give her more -pleasure unless it be a Percolator, for coffee .or fir tea. If you want to give her comfort and ease, make it a Rocker or a Sewing Chair, with re
ceptacles for thread and other materials. Or a Duo-Fold Couch, the latest kind, which would he an ornament to the home but always useful, as well. Or what about a Lunch Tray, or a
Crumb Set, a Cedar Chest, or many other things.
And father or brother. Wouldn’t he appreciate a Shaving Set or a new Razor? If he is a smoker, wouldn’t he appreciate a Smoking Set or a Smoking S:and? Would he appreciate an
Easy Chair in which to rest his weary bones? Is he fond of sports and would a Gun strike his fancy? Does he like to tinker around the house and would a few nice tools please him?
And the kiddies! Say! What boy or girl would not like a pair of Skates, either ice or i oiler. And the little tots like o skate too. There are small sled skates for them. What girl
would not like a Toy Duster Set, a Doll Buggy, Doll Dishes or a Small Rocker? What boy would not like a Wagon, a Tricycle, an Air Gun, a Tool Set, a Pocket Flash Lamp, an Auto Speeder
a Submarine War Toy, or a set of Erector Builders? In fact who would not nejoy and prefer a gift of something useful ?

War Raises Drug Prices.
The bif? war in Europe is helping to
make it costly, If not criminal, to be
111 these days. The proverbial ounce
of prevention is not only better than a
pound of cure, but it is a hundred times
cheaper. The war has added from 25
to 300 per cent to the consumer’s cost
of these drugs, and many of them —
entirely disappeared from the mar
ket —cannot bo obtained at any price.
In many instances no sign of lower
prices appears. In others there is
certainty that diminishing supply
must result in tho most outlandish
price figures. Factors in staple drugs
affected by the war are, they insist,
endeavoring to conserve the limited
quantities they have by fixing prohibi
tive figures—not for the purpose of
gouging the consumer, but to make it
possible to hold on to enough of the
precious products to supply emergen
cies. Veronal, its solutions and com
pounds has almost disappeared from
the market, and antipyrln, to be had
in only moderate quantities, has ad
vanced from 35 cents to $5 per ounce.
Riches Await the Finding.
There is a highway In South Africa
built from the dust and dirt of thu
diamond mines near by. A man with
sharper eyes than his neighbors pur
chased the right to work over this
refuse and from it has produced a
fortune in diamond dust. Every day,
humanity ignores much in tho life of
the world around and beneath it—or
at least fails to consider it ns a factor
in tho discovery of truth. Gold can
be mined wherever human hearts
abound.
Spain's Patron Saint.
St: James tho Great is worth noting
as of the company of the Great Twin
Brethren, the Bowmen of Mons and
the Angels of Neuve Chapelle. Span
ish tradition tells how his body was
miraculously brought to Compostella
and there enshrined, and how the
saint arose and at Clavijo, In 841,
mounted on a white horse, slew 60,000
Moors. Hence, the Spanish Order of
St. James of the Sword, Santiago do
Espada.
