Some silly fellow, or else he is a joker,

The Christmas disorders now In

Christmas.
Communicated,

Christmas is the day on which the
birth Of Christ is celebrated through
out the Christian world. It is 30
called because in the early church the
@Mass Of Christ" was celebrated on
that day
At first the day was set apart for
sacred services but very soon it was
turned into time for festivities and
alas too often into scenes which in.
stead Of honoring the Savior Of the
world were dishonoring TO Him,
The Romans had nature festival
beginning on the 18th Of December
and lasting seven days.
The northern people of Europe had
the Yule festival. Large log fires
were built In the houses Of the great
and appropriate ceremonies were OBJ
served.
The celebration in England has
lost it's primitive boisterous character
the gambols and carols are nearly
gone by, and family reunions and
evergreen trimmings are nearly all
that remain of the various rough meT-
riments which used to mark the festi-
val.
In the United States the Puritans
were stern opponents Of Christmas
pastimes, the day being reBgiously
observed by them. 1t has been made
a legal holiday in several o: the
States, and is usually observed by
religious services by making pres
ents. and not unirequently by trim.

Now Recognized as Cause Of Serious
Disease.
Acid dyspepsia, commonly called
heartburn Of sour stomach, is a form
OF indigestion resulting from fermen-
tadon OF the food. The stomach be-
ing too weak to promptly digest it,
the food remains until fermentation
begins, filing the stomach with gas,
and bitter, sour, burning taste in
the mouth is often present., This
condition soon becomes chronic and
being an every day occurrence is
given but little attention. Because
dyspepsia is not immediately fatal,
many people do nothing for the
trouble.
Within recent period remedy
has been discovered prepared solely
to cure dyspepsia and stomach
troubles. 1t lis known as Stuart's-
Dyspepsia Tablets and is now becom-
ing rapidly used and prescribed as
radical cure for every form of dys-
pepsia.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets have
been placed before the public and are
sold by druggists everywhere at so

the Stuart Co., Marshal Mich, and

ABOUT BEING GRACEFUL.

Trifles continually give us away. The
things we do with intention we may do
well, but the involuntary acts betray
our limitations. A perfectly graceful
woman is graceful in every move--in
the poise of her head, in her walk, the
way she sits and uses her hands.
AS to sitting, some women fall into
their chairs like badly jointed and
springless dolls. A sensitive, graceful
woman sits gently, unbending with a
smooth motion until she has settled
safely. She can also get up from her
chair and reach the door without in
dulging in any of the jerky and awk-
ward mistakes come women make.
If there is turn in the walk stop
with all the weight on the foot in adj
vance, resting only the toe Of the rear
foot on the ground, then turn smoothly
around by transferring the weight to
the other foot, making the turn entirely.
upon the balls Of the feet, with the
heels scarcely touching the floor. This
turn is rarely seen practiced, yet it is
very easy and few minutes work at
1t will render one expert.
In getting up from a chair 90 wom-
EN- out'of 100 shift their weight from one
foot to the other and rise with the
weight on the wrong foot. The proper
way is to rest the weight on one foot
while sitting, holding the other lightly
on the floor. Then press down hard
on the foot which already bears the
weight and rise, standing for an instant
on the same foot to get the balance be-
fore starting of freely and lightly.
An American who had left his native
country to travel in Europe, with the
maxim "When in Rome do as the Ro-
mans do" we'll in mind, found himself
In Marseilles.. He wanted some ice
cream and went to restaurant and
ordered it. "What flavor will you
have2" asked lthe waiter. The Ameri.
can hesitated y moment and then re.
membered his maxim. ooh, garlic,
suppose" ho answered.
