THE GIFT OF GIVING.

In the December Delineator, Eliz
abeth A. Philips, president OF the
Philadelphia Santa Claus Association
writes as follows;
Santa Claus TO me IS the embodi-
ment Of the beautiful words OF the
Savior, 1T is more blessed 70 give
than TO receive and so, If | We're
the nations Santa Claus and pos
sessed unlimited power and means,
would consecrate all my zeal and en-
ergy in extending the truth and in
fluence of those soblime words.
There are tens OF thousands who
know from personal experience that
no investment brings so large a re-
turn Of happiness as sheer giving.
Tehere are other tens of thousands,
yea, millions, who give nothing and
get no blessing; il is these who need
to be induced to invest experimental
ly. ever so little, in this joy-producing
enterprise.
And SO. if were the nations Santa
Claus, l would. on my trip across the
world on Christmas eve, 1905, drop
into every heart "the gift Of the spirit
Of giving" l would visit each home
where love and affection had grown
cold, and kindle the fires anew I /
would see that every orphan had not /
only pair Of shoes to warm his little
feet, but a love that might take the
place Of a mothers love to warm his
little heart. would see that he had
not only coat to protect him from
the winters cold, but sheltering arm
that might take the place of fathers
in protecting him from the blasts of
a freezing world of thoughtless peo-
pie.
Were l the nations Santa Claus"
the spirit of giving would exist in
every heart every day, and there
would be no desire for great riches
and power; no employer grinding
down the wages of his employed no
public official using his trust for pri-
vate gain, and no religious creeds and
doctrines save that embodied in
Christ's words DO you love me, ST.
mon2 Then feed my lambs"
Aud SO. if It were in my power to
give, would leave not only in every
city street and home, but in every
heart, living, loving Santa Claus,
and the world would awaken on its
Christmas day in Paradise, with Love
IS king.

ITCHING HUMOR ON BOY
His Hands Were a Solid Mass, and Disease Spread All Over Body -Cured in Days By Cuticura.

"One day We noticed that our little boy was all broken out with itching sores. We first noticed it on his little hands. His hands were not as bad then, and we didn't think anything serious would result. But the next day we heard of the Cuticura Remedies being so good for itching sores. By this time the disease had spread all over his body, and his hands were nothing but a solid mass of this itch ing disease. I purchased box of Cuti- cura Soap and one box of Cuticura Ointment, and that night I took the Cuticura Soap and lukewarm water and washed him well. Then I dried him and took the Cuticura Ointment and anointed him with it. l did this every evening and in four nights he was entirely cured Mrs. Frank Don- ahue, POS Fremont St, Kokomo, Ind, Sept. 16, 1907."

NO BLESSING FOR HER.
Disappointed Youngster Disseminated
 in His Prayer.

For several weeks, little Ralph had enjoyed the use of a Shetland pony, the property of a horse dealer who was a friend of the family. But much to Ralphs sorrow, there came day recently when the pony was sold, and the delightful horseback rides came to a sudden end. The purchaser, as Ralph found out by inquiry, was a little girl of about his own mature age of five. Ever since his acquaint- ance with the pony began, Ralph had included him in his bedtime prayer, and God bless the pony" was an earnest nightly petition. The first evening after the sale of the pony, Ralph hesitated when he reached his pets place in the prayer. Then, after a moments thought, he continued:
 Please, God bless the pony just the same; but, God, don't you bless the little girl what's got the pony"

TO CURE A COUCH OR COLD.
Doctors Prescription Checks an Acute Cold in Day and Cures

 Two ounces of glycerine, one-half ounce of Concentrated oil of pine, one half pint of good whisky, mix and shake thorgpghly each time and use in doses of'a teaspoonful to table spoonful every four hours.
 This, if followed up, will cure any cough that is curable or break up an acute cold in 24 hours. The in- gradients all can be gotten at any drug store.
 Concentrated oil of pine comes put up for medicinal uses only in half ounce vials sealed in tin screw top cases de- signed to protect it from heat and light. Other oils of pine are insoluble and are likely to produce nausea and cannot give the desired results.

THE LAW OF SUPPLY AND DE-
 MAND.

The law of supply and demand is imperious, and will control. Now, do not think that Co-Operator is revers- ing itself, or changing it's position, so many times expressed and maintained on this question of the law of supply and demand Co-Operator has always contended, and does so still, that no cotton crop has ever been raised or can be raised on the acreage of land in cultivation to supply the needs of the world for cotton and cotton prod ucts. Our idea of supply and de- mand, as above referred to, is simply this: It takes nearly a year to pro- duce a cotton crop, and 1t ought to take somewhere about the same length of time to sell, but when it Is rushed on the market and dumped at any price offered, then the supply Con the market) is greater than the demand (of the market). This is the supply and demand it is intended for the scaling price to be avail itself of. When the Jumpers overcrowd the market, and prices drop below minimum fig ures, Union cotton stays in the ware houses. When the prices go up to the minimum prices, or above, Union cot ton is on the market, and the result will be, especially after September ev- cry year, that in nearly every case Union cotton in the warehouse will fetch more than the minimum price, and what applies to Union cotton will apply to Union grain in Union ele- vatOrs, and Union truck in Union cold storages. With this system in effect. and it surely ought to be put into ef- feet, the world will look on with ad- miration, and with respect for us. The grafter and spOlator would see that the day of his passing has come, and that there is no more picking for them in the cotton fields of the South, in the chards and vineyards and truck fields in any agricultural enterprise any where in the land, and he would gnash h1s teeth and swear, but he will re- spect us and admire us in his heart, and mind, and congratulate us that we have at last awakened and gone back to doing business in practical, sen- sible, business way.
 What is there or can there be of injustice in this plan? Nothing that one can conceive of, or even imag- inc Is there any business concern in these modern days that let's the mar ket-the trade-fx the price? The Standard Oil Company does not do so. The United States Steel Association does not do so. The great meat pack ing establishments do not do so. The railroad companies do not do so. But this system would secure our own price. That is certainly just, ana whatever is just is honest and hon. orable. It would be within the pale of the law-not by jugglery, or sub- terfuge, but openly, squarely, fully, un- reservedly, and strictly within the pale of the law in its every provision and injunction, mandate and inhibi- tion. That is the kind of trust the Farmers Union would be. An open and above board, and just prices for farm products of every character the various soils and climates of the Unit ed States will grow, and doing it abso. 1utely without conflict with the law, but in accordance with and In main tenance of the law.
