Thousands of American women in our homes are daily sacrificing their lives to duty.
 In order to keep the home neat and pretty, the children we'll dressed and tidy, women overdo. A female weakness or displacement is often brought on and they suffer in silence, drifting along from bad to worse, knowing well that they ought to have help to overcome the pains and aches which daily make life burden.
 It is to these faithful women that

THE CHRISTMAS DINNER.
How to Decorate the Table Tastefully
 and Economically.

How to Decorate the Table Tastefully
 and Economically.
 There Is nothing so appropriate for the Christmas table decoration as the red and green of the holly, says the National Illustrated Magazine. During the other 364 days of the year all the variations which can be arranged with the help of roses, orchids or any cul- tivated or even wild flowers are per missible. But on this one day the hol- ly berries alone seem to be filled with the festivity of the Christmas season. If by any misfortune it is impossible to get holly substitute glossy laurel leaves combined with some brilliant red flower. Vivid carnations will sup ply a decided note of color, or If an even more Elaborate decoration Is de sired basket of poinsettias would be very beautiful. But when holly can be obtained 1t Is to be preferred to any other medium of decoration. On this one day brilliant color scheme should be devised. Lights, colors, silver and china should be bright and gleaming.
 X simple, economical, but decidedly effective treatment of the table was ar ranged for a big family dinner one Christmas by the young daughter of the household. Nothing in the house Is held too good to be used on that day, and treasures of all sorts are gathered from their hiding places to add to the general attractiveness. The table, which was laid for ten-an old fashioned oval one-was the only one of which even the oldest children had any recollection and was covered with heavy damask cloth.
 On the centerpiece, embroidered with most natural holly branches, was placed a long, oblong mirror piled high with sprays of holly, caught here anl there with scarlet ribbon. Around this were four low candlesticks, with red candles and small shades made of a solid mass of tiny red rosebuds con- bined with green foliage. At either end of the table was q dull green caI- dlestick with a fat, round base and a slender stick holding aloft above the heads of the people seated at the table a very large shade, the reproduction of those used in the cent2Ip.eCe.
 A spray of holly on the nao.:in at each place added to the brightness Of the table. Just above the centerpiecc was a huge bunch of the holly depend ing from the chandelier, tied with large bows of the scarlet ribbon, al most hiding with its sprays the globes around the gas jets, which were but dimly lighted, as the red candles gave out a soft, warm glow.
 In addition to the little dishes scat tered about filed with the usual salted almonds, olives and relishes were add ed two or three others containing can died cherries, red bonbons and gilGcd nuts. Little silver dishes heaped high with gilded nuts of all sorts will be found especially decorative, and the flavor of the nut will not be at all spoiled by the glittering shells.

Waist Protectors.

One of the simplest and at the same time one of the most appreciative gifts which one can make girl Is a waist protector toslip over the closet hanger which holds her fancy waists.
 It is the easiest thing in the world to make.
 Take a square of figured silk, silko- line or any pretty, light material, cut a hole in the center large enough to slip easily around the collar of the waist and finish around the edges with some pretty white lace.
 Rosettes of narrow satin ribbon tack ed on the corners will add to the dainty effect
 Lining is not advised, as this would make the protector too heavy for deli cate waists.

How to Clean a Black Skirt.

An old black skirt may be success fully cleaned as follows: First of all brush and shake 1t well to get rid of the dust, then brush carefully all over with a good, hard clothes brush dipped in malt vinegar, using plenty of the vinegar. The skirt should then be hung out in the ain for an hour to dry and then pressed on the wrong side over a damp cloth. The ordinary serge or cloth skirt will be found to look like new after this treatment.

APURLIc RENEFAcToR

APUBLIC 6ENEFACToR
 It is pleasing to know those men zamong whose characteristics, considera- tion and sympathy for unfortunate fel- How beings stand out in bold relief.
 Al an example we cite Dr. O. H. Richardson, the well-known Pittsfeld surgeon by whom Hillcrest hospital in .eha6 city IS conducted.
 In the breast of this man beats4a large Hheart. And it is in exactly tho right .spot. His numerous acts of humanity nave gained for him a place in the high regard of the people of Litchtield county, 1ndeed, we do not believe there is sur .0eon in this section of New England zwaostands as high, from all standpoints, dn'their estimation.
 Dr. Richardson inHratiated himself with the public when he opposed an ad- -gance m rates at another Pittsfeld hos ypital. In face of the prediction that "a second hospital could not exist in -Pittsfeld, he established Hillcrest which has been successful from it's in- caption and is gaining i'll popularity every day. At this institution the good doctor finds ample opportunity to per form the acts of humanity which his ssymp Athetic and generous nature sug- sgests. ..-. ...
 His properly developed sympathies tell A1im that in no way can he do more good s&han,by placing his remarkable skill at 4he disposal of the worthy people who cannot afford to pay for surgical opera 4iOns.
 As was stated in last weeks NEWS, etf7s is precisely what he has done. One Hemark made by him during brief call at THE NEWS office, when enlisting the papers support of the Tag Day project, revealed the manner of man he IS. In ssnbstance he stated that he does not care as much for money as do many other people He wishes enough to provide the comforts of life and to carry on his MNnEk but beyond that It has little at tEraction for him. He has no desire to -amass large fortune. He loves his pro- f-AE1a1UAS 1b AASOAoOAv AAOOAOOVO0 HI ~ "AN mature has endowed him with desire to do all the good he can for humanity.
 The remark was made with the we'll known modesty of the man, and re- -vealed a character worthy of emulation.
 We believe the people in this section appreciate his whole -souled and remark able generosity fully as much as does THE NEWS, this man who takes the stand that the poor person in distress is entitled to medical and surgical treat -ment fully as much as is the person who is well supplied with funds. He goes further than stating the belief, however. He proposes to minister without price to sthe aff1ictions of these people and asks the cooperation of their friends and neighbors.
 Tho result of Tag Day in Berkshire county and in the town of North Ca naan is evidence conclusive that the doctors proposition to perform free op. aerations on charity patients is appre- eciated and that the people will see to it that when he again desires their assist .ance, he has but to ask for it.

Salvation Army Officers to
Make MhirIWind
Tour.

| Lieut-Col. Charles Miles, provincial
officer of the Salvation Army with
headquarters at San Francisco, his
jurisdiction extending to the Hawaiian
Islands, arrived on the Alameda yes,
terday and viii remain in the islands
about three weeks and viii make a
whirlwind inspection tour of the entire
group.
Hardly had the officer, who is ac-
eompanied by his son and secretary,
Envoy Harold Miles, set foot on the
Oceanic dock than he was taken in
charge by the local Salvation Army
officers and escorted to the Army hall,
thence to the officer S homes, then to
the Rescue Home and finally went into
one or two valleys to look over the
sites for the Rescue Home, for which
Mr.. George n. Wilcox has given $4,000
in case $4,000 more is raised.
Col Miles left for Maui last night
on the Claudine, and on his rSturn will
have a number of matters to consider
for the advance of the Army work.
81 have been looking up Rescue
Home sites today" said the Colonel.
81 think the Army is doing a unique
work here and l think I see oppor.
tunities for extending that work, of
course, without infringing on any other
organization in the islands. 1 think we
can add to and improve the work in
general.
Col. Miles is a splendid type of the
administrative Salvation Army officer
His jurisdiction extends over six West,
ern States and the Hawaiian Islands.
On the Coast alone he has about 300
officers under him and between two
and three thousand local officers or
deacons. During the year he has travel
ed over 80, 900 miles and held about 600
meetings besides attending to manifold
office duties. The Army has new
headquarter building in San Fran
cisco, the Apollo block in which are
the executive and provincial offices. In
addition the Army conducts hotel in
the upper stories for women and they
expect to have trade from the Islands.
1t is hotel where women, who may
have no friends in San Francisco, may
go with absolute assurance of being in

The Army had a brass band in Oak
land of thirty-two pieces. 1t has be-
