cHlLDREN'S DAY AT WHITE
HOUSE.
Five Hundred Enjoy a Good Time at
Expense of RooseveIts.


Washington, Dec. 27.-Five hundred
children, youthful sons and daughters
of members of the cabinet, senators,
representatives, army and navy Off
GERS, members of the diplomatic corps,
assistant secretaries OF departments
aud Washington newspaper CORES
pondents, were the guests between 4
and $50 o'clock this afternoon of Mrs.
Roosevelt at the White House. The
reception began at 4 o'clock, Mrs.
Roosevelt being assisted by ladies of
the cabinet circle and Mrs. Loeb, Mrs.
Cowles and Miss Hagner.
The White House had been decor
ated beautifully for this Christmas
party. Great palms and Christmas
green adorned the reception hall and
parlors, the green being enlivened
here and there with splashes of the
flaming red of poinsetta blossoms and
American Beauty roses. The scene
was rendered brilliant by hundreds
of electric lights.
The children were formed in line
on the terrace. Thence they marched
up the main staircase and across the
reception hall to the entrance Of the
green room, where they were received
by their hostess quite as if they were
grownups. Each child was introduced
to Mrs. Roosevelt by Major Charles
McCawley of the marine corps, and
| by her was given cordial greeting.
Each was then presented with a pro-
| gram and a souvenir of the party in
the form of badge of silver, bearing
Mrs. Roosevelt's compliments and good
wishes of the season. The little guests
were conducted through the green
room to the east room by officers of
the army, navy and marine corps in
full uniform, and there seated.
The entertainment begun with mu-
steal program rendered by Roney's
Boys Concert company of Chicago
This part of the program consumed
nearly an hour, the children being en-.
thusiastic in their manifestation OF
commentator.
Just before the first number on the
musical program was rendered, Pres
ident Roosevelt entered the room, TAX
ing an inconspicuous seat near the
green room entrance. He entered thor
oughly into the spirit of the occasion
and enjoyed every minute of the enter
tainment. The idea of the party, how
ever was wholly that of Mrs. Roose
welt, and she worked out all of the
details. Scores Of the children were
afforded an opportunity to greet the
president and to wish him a "Happ!
New Year"
After the refreshments had beer
served the young people returned II
the east room. There the older among
them danced to the music of the
Marine band, while the younger ones
played games in the parlor.
The attention shown the children BY
Mrs. Roosevelt and her assistants ant
by the numerous attendants were sc
delicate and graceful that the joy Of
not single one was marred, and al
left the White House praising theil
thoughtful and considerate hostess.

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful It Is in
Preserving Health and Beauty

Nearly everybody knows that charcoal
is the safest and most efficient disin-
fectant and purifier in nature. but few
realize its value when taken into the
human system for the same cleansing
purpose.
Charcoal is a remedy that the more you
take of it the better; it is not drug at
all. but simply absorbs the gases and
impurities always present IN the stomach
and intestines and carries them out Of
the system
+ Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking. drinking. or after eating onions
and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and improves
the complexion. it whitens the teeth and
further acts as a natural and eminently
safe cathartic.
It absorbs the injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels; it dis
infects the mouth and throat from tia
