tribute This Amount for
Christmas.

Chicago, Dee. l5- Chicago business
concerns employing large numbers OF
men and women viii give away more
than 81 100000 IN Christmas presents
this year.
IN the majority of cases the special
Christmas gifts are given to employees

during the year. The international Har-
yester company, with headquarters in
Chicago, heads the list with a Christmas
appropriation amounting TO half a mil
lion dollars. Armour & Co signalizes

eating 100000.
The Harvester companys appropria-
ton was made in pursuance Of profit
sharing plan adopted by the directors
several years ago, and is not a general
distribution of money to all the en-
ployes. but is an award to every en-
ploye Of the company whose services
during the year entitle him TO this spe.
eial recognition.
The amount in each case is fixed by
the individual merit of the employe.

Care of White Hair.

Women with white hair find it
something Of trouble. A special wash
must be used to Keep it of the silvery
whiteness desired and any tonic applied
to strengthen the roots and prevent fall
ing out will almost invariably yellow
or discolor it. Some who have tried
it say the most satisfactory tonic ap-
plieation for gray hair is white vaselne.
it is not to be applied to the hair, but
to the scalp. The hair must be parted
at close intervals and the vaseline
rubbed into the scalp with the finger
tips. Pains must be taken to keep the
grease from the hair as much as pos.
sible. The hair brush should be kept
perfectly clean, being frequently washed
in water in which little ammonia has
been put and well rinsed.

ton might prevent the accident Anoth.

frightened by wiping with a cloth wrune

hats in delicate colorings can be cleaned
by rubbing with Fuller's earth, making
