WHEN KIDNEY TROUBLE
CAUSES YOU TO GET UP
NIGHTS
When Bladder is Irritated
When Passage is Difficult
When Backache Results
PLUSH POISONOUS WASTE
& ACID FROM KIDNEYS
GAIN IN HEALTH
• ••
If you aren’t feeling just right
are nervous—have dizzy spells and
occasional backache—study your
kidneys and learn more about
yourself.
Through the delicate filters of
the kidneys, acid and poisonous
waste are drawn from the blood
and discharged from the body thru
th bladder—sometimes these fil
ters are less active than they
should b ebecause of excess pois
onous waste and kidneys do not
f unction properly—they neetf
harmless stimulation. '
One reliable medicine, highly
efficient and inexpensive is GOLD
MEDAL Haarlem Oil Capsules
This grand medcine has been help
ing people for 50 years—to relieve
aches and pains by helping condi_
tions caused or aggravated by ex
cess uric acid or other circulating
poisons ,suc|i as is so often the
case with sciatica, neuralgia, lum
bago and rheumatism.
So if you have such symptoms
of kidney trouble as backache,
nervousness, getting up two or
three times during the night —
scanty or smarting passage—leg
crampg — moist palms or puffy
eyes get a 35 cent package of this
grand and harmless diuretic at
any drugstore—it starts the first
day on its errand o fhelpfulness.
Don’t be an EASY MARK and
accept a substitute—Get Gold Med
al Haarlem Oil Capsules—the ori
ginal and genuine. Look for the
Gold Medal on the box—35 cents.
Virtue in Toys
Here listed are the virtues of a good
toy as described by experts in kin
dergarten training at the National
College of Education at Evanston,
111,:
The successful plaything is dur
able. Flimsy toys make children
careless and destructive.
It stimulates its owner’s imagina
tion and encourages him to dramat
ic play.
Although it is not bunglesome or
awkward, the well-designed toy is
large and simple enough not to
cause eye and muscle strain.
It is easy to keep clean.
It is sa{p. It does not have splin
tery edges or rims of sharp tin.
Up to the minute play materials
are not static, nor do they merely
provide entertainment.
Every child has two types of toys
—those which stimulate individual
play and those which encourage him
to group activity.
Make Face Mask of Santa
Any bright boy or girl can make
a large face mask of Santa Claus
from heavy wrapping paper and wa
ter color paints. The mask should
be cut from a sheet of wrapping
paper, about 18 by 24 inches. Sketch
or trace the features with a pencil,
then color with water color paints.
Red should be used for the hat,
white for the whiskers, blue for the
eyes, and pink for the cheeks. Out
line these colors with black lines,
and the mask is finished.
JUST THANKS
f '*'■ ' - . ,
\y
“Being a husband on Christmas
reminds me of Thanksgiving.”
“Why?”
“Because, about the only thing
one gets is thanks."
Epiphany Saw Arrival
Of Three W ise Men
Twelfth-Night is the evening be
fore Epiphany, or Twelfth-Day,
which is the festival celebrated on
January 6, the twelfth day after
Christmas. It honors the arrival of
the three wise men at Bethlehem.
It is held by some that Twelfth
Night commemorates the appear
ance of the star of Bethlehem to
the three wise men. In any event,
the festival symbolizes the manifes
tation of Christ to the Gentiles
Men Used Holly-Bush
To Beat Unruly W ives
If wives knew history there
wouldn’t be any holly in the Christ
mas decorations. A stick cut from a
holly-bush was a husband's most ef
fective means of restoring discipline
when his wife “answered back.” He
always left the prickles on the stick,
too.
Fortunately—for the wives—this
custom«belongs to the dark past and
has long been forgotten.

4Goody Tree9 Will Brighten Your Home
At Christmas—And It's Easy to Make
INSTEAD of pulling out that
old box of glass ornaments
to decorate your Christmas
tree, why not make it a
“Goody Tree” this winter? It
looks nice, it’s lots of fun to
make, and it’s still more fun
to eat the ornaments when
Christmas is over.
Popcorn balls, cookie Santa
Clauses, surprise nuts, candy canes
and a dozen oth- „
er delicacies can
hang from the
tree on Christmas
morning. Instead
of just looking at
the pretty tree
standing in the
corner, you can
reacn oui ana eai some oi me nice
things that hang from its branches.
A Goody Tree doesn’t cost very
much because the few materials
needed are later eaten anyway. No
real work is required to make the
goodies; parents and children can
have a lot of fun working together
to make their tree pretty.
Popcorn Strings.
PopcOTn strings always look pretty
on the tree. They’re easy to make,
__ too. Paint some
popcorn with veg
etable coloring.
Then thread it on
a piece of string,
keeping a regular
combination of
colors, such as
one red and one
wnue, or one reu aou iwu wnnc.
Popcorn balls can be fixed next.
Boil two cups of sugar with syrup
and pour over freshly buttered pop
corn. Mix well and allow to cool
slightly. Butter your hands thor
oughly, then shape into balls. When
the balls are shaped, push a string
into them before you put them aside
to dry. This will make them easier
to hang.
Surprise nuts always make a hit
with the children—and grown-ups,
too. Scoop the nutmeats out of a
couple dozen walnuts, being careful
not to crack or break the shells.
Into each two pieces of empty shell,
place a little gift, such as a shiny
I
new penny, a piece of candy, a lit
tie trinket, or even a dime. Place
a piece of knotted string betweer
the two halves before glueing them
together. When the glue is dry,
paint the shells bright colors. Be
fore long, no one will remember
what is inside any one of them.
Buy some nice, solid red apple?
and a few good looking oranges.
Shine the apples__
until they glisten, i
then stack them ■
in the shape of a >
pyramid at the I
base of the tree I
Be careful to ar- I
range the oranges
and apples in L
some regular order or design.
Christmas Cookies.
When you bake Christmas cookies,
put as much color into the figures
as possible. Break some hard can
dy and put in little pieces for eyes,
or make a few buttons down the
front of the shirt. Push a piece of
string through each cookie so it can
be hung on the tree.
Lollypops may easily be made at
tractive. Simply tie some fancy
bows made out of cellophane or col
ored paper around the stems. Can
dy canes always dress up a tree,
and can be purchased almost any
place.
If you have some tinfoil, use it
to make a few small cornucopias.
Shape it into the
form of a cone
and push a piece
of string through
one side. Fill the
cone with little
candies and it is
ready to hang on
-me tree.
Many more things can be made
for the tree. Use any ideas you
might have—it will make the tree
more your own.
The goodies are hung on the tree
the same as regular ornaments. It
is advisable, however, to place them
so that small children can get at
some candies without danger of pull
ing down the tree.
When it is all finished, the Goody
Tree will probably give you the most
fun out of Christmas you’ve had in
years.

Is There a Santa Claus?
Here Are Two Answers to That
! 1 Important Question:
saw®1'”'
COURSE THERE IS!
(And who could doubt those trust
ing eyes?)
NO THERE AIN’T!
(And who would argue against
that determined jaw?)
OV Santa Claus Was Born in U. S. A.
C'UROPE brought Christmas to
America, but America gave
Santa Claus to Europe.
When the early Dutch settlers
came to America, they had never
heard of Santa Claus. Old St. Nicho
las, who brought them presents each
December 6, changed rapidly in the
New world.
His name became abbreviated and
altered to Santa Claus, and his ex
ternal appearance underwent great
changes. From a lean ascetic he
was transformed into a jolly, fat
old fellow. His pale face became
the color of rosy apples. He laid
aside his canonical robes, miter and
pastoral staff to become clothed in
a cap and brilliant red suit, trimmed
with ermine. The new Santa Claus
traded his famous gray horse for a
reindeer and sleigh. He also stopped
giving presents on December 6, and
started distributing gifts on the night
ox December 24.
The changes in his outward ap
pearance were reflected in his
change of character. When he came
to America he left behind his rod
and bag of ashes with which he
beat naughty children, and adopted
an entirely lovable personality.
Completely transformed, he again
crossed the ocean to be welcomed
everywhere from Scotland to Aus
tralia.
