lNVALID's CHRISTMAS GIFT.
Unique Idea for Bringing Cheer and
Sunshine Into the Sick Room.

Unique Idea for Bringing Cheer and
Sunshine Into the Sick Room.
Is there among your friends weary
invalid for whom you are longing to
do something beautiful and helpful at
the coming holiday season? If so,
you cannot do better than to undertake
the preparation of a wonder bag for
Christmas. A wonder bag is a large
bag filled with gifts from many friends.
which are to be drawn out on special
days, according to accompanying d.
'ections. It may be arranged to last
lor any length of time-three months.
SIX months or q year-drawings being
made once, twice or thrice a week, al
may seem best. Since the recipient
OF the bag is not given list OF the
donors, nor informed of the character
OF the gifts, a double surprise awaits
her at such drawing. This contrib
utes not little to the novelty and
charm Of the scheme. Make strong
bag of suitable material, cretonne, den
Inn, canvass or linen. Embroider it
with initials, q monogram or other
suitable design, and finish it with stout
draw strings of broad ribbon. Since
It Is to hang in the sickroom for SD
long a time It, should be made not
merely durable and serviceable, but
also dainty and attractive. Wrap each
article in tissue paper, using many
tints; mark it with the name of the
donor, and tie it securely with narrow
ribbon of a contrasting color, leaving
one end long enough to be used in
drawing it out. Pack the parcels care
fully in the bag. heavier ones at the
bottom, and let the long ribbons hang
outside at the top. Gifts appropriate
for special days. such as the invalid's
birthday, July 4, April !, Easter Sun
day, Feb. e., a very weary day"
stormy Sunday, !" etc., may be desig-
mated by tiny cards attached to their
ribbons. Most Of the gifts, however.
should be left without dates in order
that the invalid may have the privilege
once In q while Of deciding which rib
bon to draw.-Belle M. Brain in Wom-
ans Home Companion. =.s

store in Minneapolis, and will dispose
of all the butter from the Dassel cream
cry to the retail trade. The store will
be managed by August Norman so
that Adolph will continue as butter

from all standpoints in such a way
that any clear-minded man could not
help but. going away with a more
friendly feeling for the temperance
cause. It is such talks as these that
count, and will add to the sentiment
among our citizens in opposing the

ton, ."What is the one great
remedy for consumption 7"
He will answer, "Cod.liver
OIL" Nine out of ten will
answer the same way.
Yet when persons have
consumption they Ioathe all
fatty foods, yet fat is neces-
sary for their recovery and
they cannot take plain cod
liver oil. The plain oil dis
tdrbs the stomach and takes
away the appetite. The dis.
