SHIPPERS SCENT WAR
AND RUSH IN WITH BIDS

WASHINGTON. Dec. a.-Under the
impression that war Is surely to occur
between the United States and Colom-
bta. the Quartermaster-Gener Of the
army has been besieged by railroad and
shipping men desirous of transporting
troops. This impression among shipping
men exists to a considerable extent
abroad and a number of offers have
come to the department for foreign
ship owners rendering their vessels as
transports.
1t was pointed out to-day that while
the landing of marines on foreign soil
occasions but little comment and Is only
an evidence of a disturbed condition OF
affairs. the embarkation OF troops puts
a different aspect on the situation. For
this reason the navy will be permitted
to continue to control affairs in isthmian
waters for the present at least or until
matters reach n stage necessitating the
cooperation of the army.

article Is written to again call your
attention to the value of Father
Johns Medicine in curing and pre-
venting colds, grip and pneumonia, It
will be of value to you and may save
your life IL 1t causes you to be careful
and avoid the dangers we have point
ed out-they are real dangers.
And If we cause you to avoid the
patent medicines, cough syrups and
so-called balsams, 80 per cent. of
which contain nerve-deadening and
poisonous drugs, by again warning
you against them, 1t will be the
means of saving your health.

A Timely Warning on Some of Its
Dangers.
Dangers.

During the season of Christmas
shopping great care should be taken
not to unnecessarily expose yourself
to colds that are likely to result in
grip and pneumonia. The excitement
of the day is quite likely to cause you
to overlook the. sudden change from
hot to cold, coming from the close
and suffocating air of the big stores
to the street. Then there is great
danger from disease germs where so
many people are gathered in close
quarters.

From the Turkeys Point Of View.


A turkey sat on the topmost limb
OF the very tallest tree,
And, roosting high, INDUCED himself
In this s~oliloQuy:
"Perhaps this thing of giving hanks
Is what 1t ought 10 be,
But 1 am here TO say 1t does
Not look that way to me.
'They send a proclamation forth
To say that hanks are due
For all the blessings they have had,
From every point of view.
'Some are but blessings in Disguise
And so disguised, gadZooks!
The very sharpest eyes on earth
Can't tell them by their looks.
while not a few that come their way
Are altogether good,
For which they feel they must express
Their lasting gratitude.
''They say the whole world ought to talk
One day, at least, to show
Its heartfelt thankfulness, because
Such streams Of blessings flow.
"And when they've published it abroad
For all the world to see,
BY Jupiter, they grab an axe
And make 3 break for me!
81, who nave never done a thing
TO any living man;
And ask 10 more than that they let
Me do the best 1 can.
II fail to see where l come in
With all those things that bless,
And why l am in any way
A form of thankfulness.
And as to giving thanks myself
Well, really, l don't see
Why l should give a single thank.
Would you, If you were me?".

Table Decoration.

For Inner table decorations as ia.
as coloring is concerned it is best to
keep to the warmer tints. Avoid the
use Of white by itself and keep to
shades of crimson, old gold Or even
bronze tones, the latter especially
where there is a large display of old
silver. The vases may be filed with
well berried holly points and m%istletoe,
with roses as a sort of underground
to the various stands. Frosted branches
n spray are always fashionable at
this season and have a very charming
effect. Their beauty may be much en-
hanced by a judicious use of bright
ribbon bows. Lamps and candles must
all have their shades to match the
principal coloring used in the decora-
ton. Tall tubes look very well on a
large table, especially where space is
is otherwise well laden with dessert or
with silver bowls of bon-bons.
