pare for the Christmas Trade.
If anybody made the statement that
this is Christmas a reasonable doubt
would at once arise as to the sanity of
the man behind the statement, but it
is, nevertheless, true that, barring the
weather, the shopping crowds in the
streets and the sight of trees and
Christmas wreaths, Christmas might
az well be in August as in December
as far as the work of making the day
a real Christmas is concerned.
Every manufacturer of toys in town
will tell you that he is beginning to
plan and execute his holiday novelties.
The white wooden lambs, the fur
coated st. Nicholases and the hundred
and one new things in the way of toys
are being prepared now so that Santa
Claus may find them ready four
months from now.

and Franklin streets and Fifth avenue

stores are advertising furs and other
winter goods which come in handy as
Christmas gifts, and from abroad there
is pouring into Chicago a great ava
lanche of jewels, silks, furs and novel
ties of every description all ready for
the Christmas shopper
For three weeks and more the West
ern representatives of Eastern maya
zines and publishers have been con-
tracing with Chicago authors for
Christmas stories and sketches. AL
ready artists are at work upon pic
lures of snow covered landscapes, fir
trees and Christmas reunions at the
old homestead, and all these pictures
are part of the great Christmas move

Over in Michigan and up in Wiscon-
sin farmers and contractors are pick
ing out the sites from which the
Christmas trees and holly branches
will be brought to Chicago. The
rates for the transportation of the
trees remain stationary, and no ne
gotiations are necessary this year to
secure figure at. which the man in
the woods can afford to send his holi-
day fauna to the Chicago market.

very few people are free from sick
Kidneys, as the kidneys are the most
oyer-worked organs of the body and
go wrong" at times, no matter how
well the general health may be- The
trouble is so few understand the indi-
cations of kidney trouble. You are
nervous, tired out and weary, have
stitches, twinges and twitches of back
ache pains, but lay it to other causes;
hnally the annoyance and suffering at
tendant with urinary disorders, reten-
ton of the urine. too frequent urina-

of it. At any stage you should take a
remedy that will not only relieve but
cure you. Read the following and

In the "reminiscences of Lord Ronald
Cover Is found u story of the origin Of
the stars and stripes.
The "star spangled banner" of the
American republic has It's origin from
an old brass on the floor of Brington
church, In Northamptonshlre The
brass covers the tomb OF one Robert
Washington and Is dated 1922. On It
appears the Washington coat Of arms,
consisting Of three stars. with bars or
stripes beneath them. On the first day
of the new year. 1776, the thirteen
united colonies raised n standard at
Washington's headquarters
This introduced the stripes OF the
present, but retained the crosses Of st.
George and st. Andrew Oh blue
ground In the corner. In l777 the cross.
es were replaced by stars, MS the Dec
laration of Independence rendered the
retention of the English element unnec-
essdry and announcement. In thus adopt
ing the arms OF his ancestors as his
own distinctive bndge Washington no
doubt intended the Gag merely as a
private signal for his own PEI 1nol fol
lowing. but II was NJ once adopted uR
a national emblem. Probably there Is
not another case In the worlds history
In which the private arms OF an OBJ.
