WANTS CHRISTMAS GIVING ABOL-
ISHED,

A Chicago woman's club re-
Gently began movement to abol.
ish the giving of Christmas pres
ents. The president of the club
says:
''The present system of Christ
mas presents is pernlcious. HUI
man society must rid itself of an
excrescence which has grown out
of celebration once beautiful,
but which has lost it's original sig
nificance."
A recent magazine article, in
commenting on the movement,
says that "the Chicago woman 3
club might es we'll try to push
back the tide as try to stop the
giving of Christmas PRESENTS
custom so old and affectionately
observed in the poorest homes.
Nor would it be we'll could they
succeed in doing SO. Such seasons
of widespread effort toward cheer
fitness, good will and generosity
are already too few for the benefit
Of humanity to be decreased be-
cause the beautiful conception of
the custom has, like so many other
inspiring customs, become some
what spoiled through the influence
of modern extravaganza. Because
q fine tree has borne some imper-
feet fruit is no reason for tearing
1T out, root and branch. Rather
should it be more carefully pruned
and thoughtfully cultured, not
suffering an excess of water or fer
tillzer-so that the i'll may be
eradicated and the beautiful tree
flower and fruit again, to the de-
light and refreshment Of human
ity. We cannot afford to lose any
of these seasons of greater kind
ness-no matter if much Of it be,
as today, excessive and lll-advised.
Not the beautiful gift-giving
custom is at fault, but rather the
weak human beings who have mis-
interpreted and abused it.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian tube. When this tube is in
famed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the result,
and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored TO it's
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out Of ten
are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing
but an inflamed condition OF the mu-
cous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness Caused by ca
tarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall g

A Bible alleged to have been
signed by John Milton and his
third wife vas sold in New York a
few days ago for 81 ,225. Itwasn't
very much of a book, mechanically
speaking, but the assertion that it
had been the property Of the great
blind poet gave it value. 1t now
appears that the signatures we're
forgeries ard that some clever
faker took a 50 book and raised its
value to the sum named by clum-
silly writing the names of the poet
aud his wife in it and finding an
"easy mark, " who wanted to buy
curiosities. New York is full of
'easy marks" if one will go about
finding them i'll the right way;
aad a good way is to play upon
their supposed erudition.

Senator jeff" Davis eloquence
is sometimes emptier thau a tink-
ling cymbal In his speech the
other day he made this peroration :
"What is money that it is held SO
priceless? You cannot eat it, you
cannot wear it, your shroud has no
pocket in it, and St. Peter will not
receive it for admission at the gol-
den gate" All of which may be
true; but money will buy some
thing to eat and something to wear
while we are living, and when we
become "dead ones'' we shall not
care anything about money. There
isn't any sense in disparaging the
value of money.

Attention has been called to the
fact-which escaped general no.
tice in the rush of events--that
possession of the Philippine Is
lands has cost the United States,
directly and indirectly, more than
one Thousand millions of dollars
The late Speaker Thomas B. Reed
was opposed to our exploitation of
the islands, on the ground that it
would be better to invest our
money at home and develop our
own resources. Suppose that
thousand millions of dollars wasted
in the Philippines had been de-
voted to improving American riv-
ers and harbors, would we not
have had the finest system of
waterways in the world? And
would they not now have been
paying good interest on the invest
ment? The question carries it's
own answer. Present generations
will probably never see the Philip
pines give back to us a cent on
the money sunk in them. Amer
lean river and harhor improve
ments commence giving returns as
soon as they are started. --Savan-

The returns from the two.cent
fare on the Pennsylvania railroad
are not coming up to expectations.
1t was the idea that the lower rate
would induce large increase in
travel, which would more than
make up any loss that might be
expected from the lower rate. The
figures of the company show that
both the gross and net earnings of
the road have been decreased, the
latter by more thar s64, 900 in
the month of October.

Helps In Shopriru.

A woman who has large family TO
shop for says that one of the Things
which she always carries with her
in her pocketbook or hand bag is a
small notebook. 1t takes up very lit
tie room, but is great convenience
and time saver. In this book she keeps
a memorandum of sizes of shoes, no.
siery, underwear, etc, for the different
members of her family, besides the
names of any special styles or brands
of articles which she is in the habit
of buying. This proves to be much
easier meth I'd than trying to carry all
of this data IN ones memory and avoids
having to return articles of the wrong
size which have been purchased by
mistake.
In this book, too. are written the
shopping lists which, put on loose slips
Of paper, would be more liable to be
lost. This book furnishes sort of
perpetual memorandum. Things which
are not purchased at one time are still
recorded to be attended to again.
