Wo always picture Santa Claus as ruddy, plump and Jolly,
Snugly wrapped In fur-lined coat, gayly docked with holly;
Whirling through the crisp night air, shot with bright star-twinkles,
While beneath his reindeers' feet the snowflake scarcely crinkles.
Tho Santa Claus wo always dream, bears upon his back
A bully, bursting, bountiful, joy-creating pack;
And if his Christmas largess should deplete his brimming store
.AH he need do is turn his team and speed right back for more.
But, alas, the real Santa Claus is often thin and weak,
And no tingle of tho wintry air brings color to her cheek;
And often on the. Christmas eve, tho Christmas spirit mocking,
She sees beside her empty hand the tattered, empty stocking.
But childish hopo is long-lived and childish faith is strong,

How to Make the Best
Cough Remedy at Home
A Family Supply at Small Cost,
and Fully Guaranteed.
Make a plain syrup by mixing one
pint of granulated sugar and Vj pint of
warm water and Btir f6r 2 minutes.
Pub 2 ounces of pure Pinex (flftv
rents' worth) in a- pint bottle, and fill it
up with the Sujrar Syrup. This gives
you a family supply of the best couch
ivrup at a saving of $2. It never spoils.
Tuke a tcaspoonful every one, two or
three hours.
The effectiveness of this simple remedy
is surprising. It seems to take hold al
most instantly, and will usually con-
?uer an ordinary cough in 21 hours,
t tones up the jaded appetite and is
just laxative enough to bo helpful in
a cough, and has a pleasing taste.
Also excellent for bronchial trouble,
bronchial asthma, whooping cough and
spasmodio croup.
This method of making cough remedy
with Pinex and Sugar Syrup (or
strained honey) is now used in more
homes than any other cough syrup.
This explains why it is often imitated,
though never successfully. If you try
it, use only genuine Pinex, which is a
most valuable concentrated compound
of Norway white pine extract, and Is
rich in guaiacol and other natural
healing pine elements. Other prepara
tions will not work in this combination.
A guaranty of absolute satisfaction,
or money promptly refunded, goes with
this preparation. Your druggist has

that is no concern of yours. Keep at

It Is painful to witness the troubled

with a degree of
sympathy.
There is no reason
why there Bhould
bo any sacrifice of
courtesy or loss of
temper over the
matter.
Men who bellovo ln vivisection are not
necessarily wicked and thoso who believe
otherwise may still be honest and In
telligent. Conflicts of this kind aro not
settled by epithets. The question 'n
volves Into a serious ono and can only
bo solved ln a spirit of candor.
There arc two sides to It, and It Is
perfectly evident that tho side which
vlvlsoctlonlsts hnvo been disposed to cover
with roproaches is gaining In popular

We aro sensitive enough to our own

fascination In causing It.

A man, oven though credited with
qualities of tender-heartedness, will go

purposo of satisfying his passion for
slaughter. Tho Impulse Is a. brutal one
and Its gratification necessarily fosters
brutality.
Vlvlsectlpntsts have publicly testified
to tho delight they take Sn the excru
ciating performance. I would not know
ingly have any friend of mine dealt
with or operated upon by a surgeon
whom I knew to be In the habit of stick

or roasting them alive. I should have
the suspicion that during the operation
he would get In some sly work with his
knife ln order to sutlBfy his curiosity.

It has to be remembered that there Is
no substantial agreement among sur
geons as to whether, after all tho
slaughtering and torturing of hundreds
of thousands of Innocent animals, any
results have been secured that aro a
practical contribution, to the Interests
of humanity.
Now, so long as men of recognized
authority put themselves on record with
statements of such tenor It Is straining
matters a little for vlvisecilonlsts and
vlvlsectlonlst Institutions to attempt
silencing their opponents by an Inex
pensive application of ridicule.
There is no logical force In contempt
uousness. It Is not necessary for the
antls to go to the extent 'of claiming
that there Is absolutely nothing to show
for all the killing that has been done in
all departments of research, but there Is
sufficient disagreement among the au
thorities to bring down the presumption
of vlviscctlonists to a quieter and morv
modest tone, and to warrant tho publU

If an ante-mortem dissection of a
monkey has proved a certain fact, It is
neither necessary nor human to prove
over again the same fact by the ante

In tho book entitled "The World of
Life," written by the distinguished Eng
lish scientist, Alfred Bussel Wallace, re
cently deceased, occurs the following
paragraph: "The moral argument against
vivisection remains, whether the antmalu
suffer as much as we do or pnly halt
aa much."
The bad effect on the operator and on
the students and spectators remains;
tho undoubted fact that the practice
tends to produce a callousness and a
passion for experiment which lead to
unauthorized experiments In hospitals on
unprotected patients remains; the hor
rible callousness of binding the sufferer
In the operating trough so they cannot
express their pain by sound or motion
remains; their treatment after experi
ment by careless attendants, brutalized
by custom, remains; the argument of
tho uselessness of a large proportion of
tho experiments repeated again and again
on scores and hundreds of animals to
confirm or refute the work of other
vlvlsectors remains, and, finally, tho
Iniquity of Its use to demonstrate already
established facta to physiological stu
