Honie-11ade Gifts

There Is much talk in favor of home
made Christmas presents. and gener
ally so much criticism of those that
are bought that a word in defence Of
these Is timely To say that homemade
presents are much to be preferred isl
too sweeping. it condemns the practice
OF too many generous women of good
intentions. There are homemade pres
ents. that are beautiful and most ac-
ceptable. and there are homemade
presents that ought to have a note of
apology accompanying them. Simply
to remember a friend with a gift-any-
thing that can be made by hands not
enough. The gift must be useful or
beautiful or both Everybody has not
the time nor the talent to make ac-
ceptable articles for gifts. People that
are forced TO buy bestow quite as much
thought in selecting gifts and accom-
pany them with as much love as If
they had converted raw material into
objects of use and beauty. If not ridi-
culous. IL rs certainly unfair to disap-
prove or to condemn people because
they buy the things they give; because
recognizing their inability. they EN-
poy, i'm effect, some one better equip
ped 10 do the work. There is an old
saying, never look a gift horse in the
mouth. Criticism of the manner in
which a donor obtains gifts would
seem to be a violation OF this axiom
quite as much as criticism OF value or
size or color or use It would not be
hard to prove that in many cases a
person showed more consideration and
dove in sending bought gifts, perfect Of
their kind, than homemade, too often
imperfect OF their kind. The majority
of men send bought gifts No one
thinks any the less of such gifts be-
cause they are bought. It ought to be
so with women. Really there is little
difference between a homemade and
n bought gift, and as far as the recip-
dents are concerned there should be
absolutely none. Business people gem
orally buy and home people generally
make their gifts for friends Time and
opportunity decide for them the ma
ture OF their gifts. Thoughts of love
inspire the worker who earns the
money TO purchase the gift just as
they do the homebody who performs
the actual labor in devislng and max.
ing an article.
There is yet another and perhaps
more important reason for the defence
of the bought gift It is in the interest
Of health and peace OF mind Women
attempt TO do too much Christmas
work. Tasks that ordinarily would re-
Quire months are executed in weeks
Gifts made under such strain are too
costly, and one wonders how a woman
can put very many thoughts Of love
into her work when her eyes and back
ache and her brain Is tired One also
wonders how Christmas Day can be
very happy or merry when the head
of the home is a nervous wreck
In the matter of Observance of spe
cial occasions there is need for refor-
matlon, N not revolution OF none is
the need greater than in regard to
Christmas giving about which there is
too much business Society has be-
gun TO revolt against business" and
display weddings Revolt against sim
ilar celebration of Christmas-the most
beautiful holiday OF the year-would
seem to be about due.

WOMEN AS THEY PASS
Christmas Tree Hints

A mother who lived far from stores
with their glittering array Of trickets
and thrown back upon her own
resources for Christmas tree decora-
tions made a really beautiful tree by
stringing long chains Of popcorn and
dyeing 1t delicate tints, silver gold.

red.
For danglers. large and small, she
took different sized apples. red and yell
low, polished them highly and hung
them by black linen thread. wreaths OF
gold and silver paper Fringed icicles
made by dipping strings into solution
Of alum, gay butterflies cut out of col
ored paper. flowers OF tissue paper tip
ping the ends Of all the important
branches and paper dolls and a figure
OF Sana Claus dressed in red with a
tiny pack on his back filled with mott
candies, made a tree which lived long
in the memories of the children.
Glass beads Of an colors in long ropes
hung from branch to branch with tinsel
shavings cotton and frost back Of them
to emphasize them. help out decora-
tions.
In trimming the treet remember to put
all heavy decorations and presents at
the base and the lighter ones toward
the top.
The long chains OF colored paper
which children make in the kinder
gartens can be easily made and these
help in beautifying the picture.
Strings of balls are a new and pretty
idea On tree decoration.
A white tree dotted with bits OF white
cotton and lighted with white candles,
standing on a white canvas base is a
relief from the many colored ones.
Birds and butterflies, tiny kites and
japanese lanterns and parasols give a
pretty effect.

THE "coFFEE HEART"
1t Is As Dangerous as the Tobacco or
Whiskey Heart.

Coffee heart" Is common TO many
coffee users and is liable to send tne
owner to his or her long home If the
drug is persisted in. You can run 30
or 40 yards and find out if your heart
is troubled. A lady who was once
victim of the coffee heart" writes
from Oregon.
Il have been a habiuua. -ser OF cof-
Zee an my life and have suffered very
much i'm recent years from ailments
which 1 became satisfied were directly
due to the poison in the beverage, such
as torpid liver and indigestion, which
i'm turn made my complexion blotchy
and muddy.
"Then my heart became affected. II
would beat most rapidly just after
drank my coffee and go below normal
as the coffee wore off. Sometimes my
pulse would go as high as l37 beats
to the minute. My family were great
ly alarmed at my condition and at last
mother persuaded me TO begin the use
Of Postum Food Coffee.
Il gave up the old coffee entirely and
absolutely, and made Postum my sole
table beverage. This was 6 months
ago. and all any Ills. the Indigestion,
inactive liver and rickety heart acton,
have passed away. and my complexion
has become clear and natural The
improvement set in very soon after I
made the change just as soon as the
coffee poison had time to work out Of
my system.
my husband has also been greatly
lbenehted by the use Of Postum, and
we find that a simple breakfast with
Postum. is a satisfying and more
slrengthening than the old heavier meal
/ we used 10 have with the other kind Of
coffee" Mamie given by Postum Co.
