A WHITE CHRISTMAS.

~HERE IS one way to make
white Christmas even
u though there may be not
a fake of snow In sight.
Let the whiteness be In your
heart. Put aside all thoughts OF
guile. Forget all the big or lit
tie bltternesses you may be en-
tertalning against some other
person. Cast out all envy, all
covetousness, all unkindness. En-
deavor to harbor in your heart
only such thoughts and feelings
as the Nazarene knew when ne
dwelt by Galilee. Cultivate hu-
man brotherhood. Practice Chris,
tan charity. Look beyond and
above your workaday horizon.
Get out Of yourself. Get into
the hearts of others.
Then you will be sure OF a
white Christmas this year.

CUT DOWN CIGARETTES
Manufacturers Trying to Make UP For
the Increase In the
Revenue Taxes. u

Washington. Sept. 24.--packages OF
all American cigarettes and tobaccos
are being reduced In size by the manu-
factnrers to make up for the increas
ed revenue taxes imposed by the tar
in.
Packages of several well known
brands, which used to contain twenty
cigarettes and sold for five cents, now
contain only fifteen and sell for the
same.
Packages Of cigarettes which for
inerly contained ten hereafter contain
eight. Pocket pouches Of tobacco sold
for cents will be reduced from one
and two.thirds ounces to one and
quarter ounces, it is understood.
This Is due to the fact that under
the old law cigarettes which weighed
no more than ten pounds per thousand
were taxed at the rate of SO cents
thousand. This classification covered
all kinds Of common cigarettes. Smok-
ing tobacco also was affected.
