Christmas Bears
-"Coming"
By Minna Irving.

When Santa Claus on Christmas Eve
Comes speeding o'er the roofs,
You will not hear the snow or ust
brealA
Beneath His reindeer's hoofs,
Nor yet the ting-a-ling-a-ling
That into music swells,
When Donner shakes his silver reins,
Or Bitten rings his bells.
But from the Land of Sugar Plums
In silence all the way,
st. Nick will guide across the snow
His treasure laden sleigh,.6
And all along the frozen road
And down the icy street
Will come the soft and padded sound
or clumsy little feet.
For though the saint is growing old
Newfads delight his soul,
And he has left his antlered steeds
Behind him at the Pole,
Where DER the fields of floating ice
The norther's trumpet blares,
And harnessed to his sleigh instead
A team of Teddy bears.

Lumber Industry Is Experiencing Re-
suits of Temporary Depr ression.

The Bay CITY Tribune has the fol-
lowing to say Of the lumber situation:
The lumber industry is experiencing
it's share of the effects Of the tempor-
arY depression. In white pine dealers
say there is no weakening as regards
prices. There is no PRODUCTION
and stumpage has cost SCI much that
there isn't any desire on the part Of
owners toNsacrifice their property.
Except in some isolated instance
where lumber holders are forced to
realize has there been any disposition
to drop prices.
In Bay City the largest manufacture
ing point in the state, ne weakness is
felt and no endorsements have Oc-
CURED. There is less d mand how
ever. and one Of the largest operators
said that business has dropped off
about quarter compared with the
usual conditions before the slump.
He expressed the opinion that buy
ing for the wholesale trade as likely 10
be on a more conservative scale. The
mills and factories have had steady
run and have orders for delivery but
it would not be strange if there should
be reduction in men and in size Of
crews. At least this is the experience
In other localities. At MenOminee
large firms are reducing men, the out
put and wages. Men are more plenti-
full and the famine ia labor the last
two years will be materially tighten
ed.
The mills and factories in Bay City
have experienced good year up to
this time, and while some men re-
quired during the most busy season
have been let out the greater number
of men will have steady employment
during the winter.

Recipe as Repeated
BY Readers Request

Some remarkable stories are being
told about town and among the coun-
try people coming in of this simple
homemade mixture curing Rheuma-
tism and Kidney trouble. Here is

one ounce Compound Kargon; three
ounces Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla.
Take as a dose one teaspoonful after
meals and at bedtime.
No change need be made in your
usual diet, bat drink plenty of good

This mixture, writes one authority
in leading Philadelphia newspaper,
has a peculiar tonic effect upon the
kidneys; cleansing the clogged up
pores of the eliminative tissues, fore
ing the kidneys to sift and strain
from the blood the uric acid and
other poisonous waste matter, over

Urinary troubles in short while.
A New York druggist who has had
hundreds Of calls for these ingredients

Rheumatism.
The druggists in this neighborhood
say they can supply the ingredients,
which are easily mixed at home.
There is said to be no better blood
cleansing agent or system tonic
