I The Peruna Company Columbus, Ohio Ir THERE IS SOMEBODY ELSE One Thing the Average Man and Worn, an Ought Always to Keep in Mind. One thing that the average man, and woman, loo, ought to remember is that there is somebody else. It is not actual and offensive conceit, it seems to tie sinipic self-absorption, forgetting that there really is anybody else. We have nothing to say against the condemna tion of careless and reckless drivers of automobiles. The offenders deserve it all. But nobody knows how many lives are spared every day by the care ful drivers. It is customary for foot passengers to stup from the sidewalk to the high way without thinking to look up and down'the street- Sometimes they do look one way and keep on walking into and across tiie street with eyes pointed steadily that way. An automobile com ing from the other direction is of no more interest Hum a comet said also to X be approaching. If it were not for tbt W obnoxious horns, there would be many more killings than there are. Nobody gets any credit for this. Instead, tie: horrid horns are condemned as a nui sance. This habit of self-abfcorptlon if not limited to people who risk tiieir lives in stepping Into the crowded streets. On the regular sidewalk often people turn sharp around without look ing to see what or who is coming and it is they who get uttvd at tlie- collision they produce. When they do not turu the.v often stop short. Bump follows and it is the bumper who is to blame Such is life.—Hartford Courier. HOW TO TREAT DANDRUFF Itching Scalp and Falling Hair Witt Cuticura.

The Full fair season is past and a retrospect of them shows that Western Cnnadu is stronger than ever iu the matter of exhibits, and has taken more than her usual share of the prize money. From Western Canada to Texas Is a long look, from Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba to the southwestern corner of Texas is sev eral days’ journey, but the enterprising farmers from tills new country to the northwest were wide awake to the possibilities that waited them at (lie International Dry Farming Congress held at El Paso, Texas, a few weeks ago, to bring to the attention of those in that fur-olf corner what the land of Western Cnnadu eouhl do in the pro duction of grains and roots from Its soil. And what did these farmers do? The first thing was to carry off the first prize and sweepstakes for wheat. That was a foregone conclusion, for it has now become an established fact that nowhere else In the world is there grown wheat of the high character and market Value of Western Canadian wheat. The same may be said of oats, of barley and of rye. But when It came to notice that Western Cannda took first prize for nlfnlfa, it was then thnt more special attention was given to tilt! products from Western Canada. It showed thnt In thnt country there lies the opportunity for supplementing the wonderful native grasses. So full of nu trition that with the tamed varieties, among them being alfalfa, the cattle with no other food were fattened and fitted for tile shambles. Western Can ada’s worth was proved as probably the greatest mixed farming portion of the continent. When the steers from the Western Canadian prairies reach the Chicago stockyards they bring the top price and outweigh those from other places where grass fattening Is the process. But it was not only in grains that Western Cannda carried off the highest honors at the El Paso exhibition. Potatoes, parsnips, beets, 'nrrots and rutabagas also took the highest honors. In root production this country is becoming favorably known. Tile question often arises as to mar kets. There is always the highest price awulting the producer, and as soon as the Hudson Bay Railway, now about completed, reaches the Buy, there will lie an additional outlet for the product of the farm. The Pacific coast route, via the Panama canal, will give another outlet of which full ad vantage may be taken. With virgin land selling at from $15 to $-0 per acre, and Improved farms at reasonable prices and on easy terms, there Is no better opportunity for the man with limited means and a desire to secure a home at the least eost in a country where lie can soon become wealthy, us thou sands of others have done, than in Western Canada. To the man with less means and who is prepared to accept a farm of 100 acres free, the Domin ion Government offers him his choice in districts that have land of the high est type, hut at present being from ten to twenty miles from a railway. The Peace River Country, now being opened for settlement and reached by railway affords excellent opportunity to the homesteader.

NO. 52-191^ WHISKERS UNDER THE BAfl Prejudice Against Facial Adornment Was Very Strong Some Cen turies Ago. Nowhere whs there more prejudic'd against beards than at the ions of Court centuries ago. The “Blucit Books” of Lincoln’s Inn of the six teenth century are full of reference! to offenders who were “fyaed double comens durynge such t.vme as they slml have any berde.” This proving Ineffective, a whole hatch of bearded barristers was In 1554 “banysslied fror^ ye bowse," and shortly afterward a judge's order was obtained for the com* pulsory shaving of some of the mem bers. The Inner temple benches were not quite so severe, for a tine of -Os was the sole penalty imposed In 1555 for "wenryng heardes of more than three weekes growthe.” The war against bearded barristers continued nt; the Inns of Court until the seventeenth century. Long after this, however, the preju-^ dice against the unshaved barristers remained. . . . Vice Chancellor Ba con carried ids dislike so far that he always refused to listen to bearded or mustaehed counsel, pretending that he, could not hear them. Even now, al though there are plenty of bearded bar-! rlsters and K. C.’s, few have attained eminence. The most brilliant excep tion was perhaps the lute Judah Philip Benjamin, “silver-tongued Benjamin,”, who despite his mustache and Ameri can “goatee” earned the princely In come of £35,000 a year.—London Chronicle. f HIGH COST QF UVING , This is a serious matter with houses keepers as food prices are constantly going up.

Jfirat Christmas St. Luke, Chapter II ND IT CAME TO PASS, in those days that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed. And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city. And Joseph also went up from Galilee out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, unto the city of David which is called Bethlehem; to be taxed with Mary. And so it was that while they were there the days were accomplished that she should be delivered. And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes and laid him in a manger: because there was no room for them in the inn. And there were in the same country shep herds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock, by pight. And lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them; and the glory of the Lord shown round about them and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them: “Fear not! For behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David, a Saviour, which is the Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you: Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.” And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying: "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men!” Who Santa Claus Wuz. fes' a little bit o’ feller—I remember still est to almost cry for Christmas, like a youngster will.

You fathers and mothers of boys, did you read in the Star of what Judge Ralph 8. Latshaw said about boys who go wrong? "Four-flfths of the criminals are boys who have Just passed the age of 16,” he said. And then he told why they went wrong. "It is because they have not been 'prop erly watched, because their fathers and mothers have neglected them, and be cause they have frequented low pool halls. God pity the father and the mother who do not set an upright example for the boy Just on the threshold or manhood. And I’ll tell you 'when a feller needs a friend.’ He needs one every day and every night, in the home and in his dally life, in the school and everywhere.” This is good, sound doctrine. Many I a boy has gone wrong because his father seemed to take no interest to his goings and comings at night. He was allowed to join the gang on the e ner and grad ually he grew away from parental influ ence. Just at the critical age when a boy is growing into manhood he is apt to be attracted by the glamor of the reckless tough, the fellow without reverence, without honor, without Ideals, without real manhood. At this time particularly be needs wholesome companionship and guidance. The father who makes It his bualness to keep interested in his son's affairs can make himself his boy's chum and can direct his growing activities Into good business. A man once was jolted into recogni tion of the fact that he knew nothing about what his children were thinking or doing. When he came to himself he exclaimed: "In heaven’s name, what am I on earth for if I can’t give an hour a day to getting acquainted with my chil dren?” Christmas—A Prayer. Be born anew, dear Lord, be born again, bnto the hunger of the sons of men. Whose famine Is too bitter to be fed By any lower food than sacred bread. We thirst for hope and , tasting, drink it not. We choke for joy denied a barren lot. We starve for love and, starving, throw the dice That may, or may not. pay love's precious price. Our trembling hands, infirm, have lost the wit To grasp Thy holy cup. Lord, give us it. Fill it with strength despaired of by the weak. Fill it with brimming rest the weary seek. Out of the chalice let the lonely drink. Restrain the wild soul crouching on the brink Of shameful purposes, that no man knows. Watch, Thou, the desert where the des perate goes. Unto white hearts give purity anew; And to the false the power to be true. Grant to thd jnourning, all uncomforted, The conscious comipg of their dearest dead Give to the friendless, .shrinking and apart The happy throbbing of the*1, Christmas heart. Ts there a flyTng thing Fluttering, with broken wing? Lord, show us where It hides. Lead us where’er abides Beneath pain’s sharpest fang, The most forgotten pang Within Thy world today: For that, for that, wo pray. For the bird shot in the bog: For the tortured, writhing dog; The patient, laboring beast That gives us most for least; For the soul within the dumb. And for that It may become. For the smitten by the way, O listen, Lord, we pray. Be born again, dear Christ! Be born again. Unto the knowledge of the sons of men; Be born into the gentle heart that brings Its best, its strongest to the weakest things. Be born into the finest tenderness That will not burden, where it can not fee h^TTt??ri the dlvlnest power to feel, That never hurts the nerve It ran not heal. —Ellabeth Smart Phelps. Custom That Should Bo Revived. "Old, very old In England,” we fead In the Woman’s Home Companion, "is the custom of setting lighted candles in the windows on Christmas eve to give holiday greeting to the passerby, but little use has been made of this charming Idea In our country. Haiti more, however, has had a city-wide lighting of candles, which was so suc cessful that it is repeated every year. "Weeks before Christmas. when plans were being made for the com munity tree, it was suggested that each household set liglUed candles in the par lor windows to wish "Merry Christ mas" to their fellow townspeople, not even the most enthusiastic supporter of the candle greeting expected to sec half the number of windows that war* so lighter! when Christmas eve came." Holiday Dinners Too 3iq. From the Columbus (Ohio) Dispatch. A good many jibes are uttered about the meals that follow a holiday feast. The purport of them la that these later nieuia ure composed mostly of the remains which are served up from time to time In various forms, less and less palatable. But the fact is quite different—at least for some of us. The fact is that the holiday meal generally is too elaborate and is sur rounded by so many anxieties on the part of the hostess that It is not thoroughly en joyed. There are so many dishes that, if one eats only a little of each, he is sur feited and leaves the table feeling more like an inflated balloon than like a ra tional human being. It has been a great meal, but there is generally more left than | has been eaten, and the waste from the | bountifully Ailed plates and small dishes , Is enough to feed a hungry family. Ev erybody has made extraordinary effort— 1 the hostess to please her guests and the result Is too often an extraordinary fall j ure, simply because the good things were too numerous. ! There is a picture of the first Thanks giving eve, showing the housewife with j a pumpkin In her hands and her husband ; returning from the hunt with a turkey. Both are happy, and so, too, the boy and the cat. the other figures in the picture. But In these days, the two articles of diet , would be only a beginning. In the prodi gal present, we have so much that we do t not enjoy anything to the full. It is only , ' on the days following a holiday, when the dishes are fewer and we can eat more rationally, that we find the most pleasure in the eating. “Christ Is Not Come."

The war-horse drew the peasant's loaded wain. » | The soldier had laid by The sword and stripped the corselet from his breast.
