dren and no Santa Claus.
Miss Nellie Anders and her eight
little brothers and sisters living at
Dustin Holt county, are to be made
happy at Christmas time, all because
she thought she could reach Santa
Claus through the columns of The
News, and wrote that unless some
Christmas gifts were sent her, she and
her eight brothers and sisters would
not have any. The little girls letter

someone that can. boys, girls
Please send them for Christmas.
Your friend,
Miss Nellie Anders,
Dustin, Neb.
The publication of this little note in
The News on December s brought a
quick response from a number of peo-
pie, adults and children, who were anX-
ious to help make a merry Christmas
in that home in Holt county where
there are nine children and no pros
pect of Santa Claus. From that day
until last night in a dozen Norfolk
homes the little people particularly
have been planning what they could
send to Nellie Anders and her brothers
and sisters. The box was finally
packed and started on its mission OF
gladness. X. d. Small, the genial man
ager of the American Express com
pany, became interested in the gift
and generously volunteered to frank
the box to its destination. So it has
gone it's way, carrying with it the good
wishes of dozen grown ups and twice
as many children, with the hope that
it will reach its destination on time
and bring JOY and happiness to the
Anders home.
1t required a pretty good sized box
to carry all the gifts that had been ac-
cumulated for the Holt county chill
dren. 1t contained dolls for the girls,
toys for the boys, books, candy, nuts,
and many other articles for both
Some of the things sent have been
slightly used but many more are new.
If the little girl and her eight broth
ers and sisters, who were afraid they
would not see Santa Claus this year,
experience near as much pleasure in
the receipt of the box as have the lit
tie people at this end who have gen
erously poured out their treasures,
then the spirit of Christmas, of giving
and receiving, will have been amply
fulfilled.

Boys, Beware.

Several of the store people are com
planning about the petty pilfering OF
boys who visit the stores to see the
holiday goods. 1t seems some of the
boys become over-zealous to secure
trines which they are afraid Santa
will overlook, and help themselves to
things. Two of the prominent firms
say they will have somebody "pinched'
to make an example. 1t is to be hoped
the boys will cease this unmanly con
duct and not get into trouble. Better
trust to the wisdom of old Santa, boys
and take chances on a Merry Christ
mas.

A LITTLE NONSENSE.
She Was Frightened by Degrees During
the Lecture on BaeterioIosy.

In a small town in Kansas not
long ago some individuals interested
in sanitary measures engaged the
services of scientist from Chicago
to lecture on bacteriology. In the
audience were a man and his wife,
the gardener and housekeeper of the
leading citizen of the town. These
worthy people, entirely ignorant of
the subject of the lecturers dis
course, had been attracted to the
hall by the announcement that mag
ic lantern views would be exhibited.
The two took seats in the rear OF
the hall. In the course of the lee
ture they evinced no signs of ap-
prevail or objection, but, when the
discourse was concluded the garden
er was heard to ask his wife, alag

Quality VS.. Quantity.

Hard muscles and strong body
do not depend on the quantity of
food you eat, but on its perfect
digestion and proper assimilation.
When you take Kodol Dyspepsia
Cure, your system gets all the
nourishment out Of all the food
you eat. 1t digests what you eat
regardless of the condition of the
stomach and conveys the nutri-
cient properties to the blood and
tissues. This builds up and
strengthens the entire system.

The whole method of manufac-

was not the slightest indication
of a return of as much as two
