Suits says that there is much activity now at Madeira and that one of the great saw mills is in opera tion turning out vast amounts of lumber. Another mill is bein over hauled and Is expected to be ready for operation in the near future. while the logging railroad is be- ing extended into the new timber belts in the Sierra Madres.
 Work is progressing on the rail- road which is being extended to Madera from Casas Grandes. its present terminus When this rail road is completed Madeira will have direct communication with Fl Paso whereas now to reach that place one must go via Chihuahua.

THE PERSONAL TOUCH

~ NE week before Christmas!
suppose that you are just
~ about in the midst of gift
selecting, aren't you? Well, just for a
few minutes let me talk on one of the
most important elements in a gift-one,
l think, that is forgotten by many. 1
refer to the personal touch that can
rarely be bought, cannot be supplied by
a monetary value, and the presence or
which brings more joy to the re-
cipient than you realize.
When you look back on your own
gifts received from friends or the
family, which one do you cherish?
Is it the handkerchief just like
thousands of other handkerchiefs. or
is that same white square cut and
fashioned into one of the numerous
little accessories? / warrant that the
latter receives you favor. Why? Be
cause in the making Of 1t the donor
has remembered your need or your
likes and has also put her own loving
work into the gift.
Any present that suggests an "Oh,
anything for so cents will doi'' quail
ity never means much Better a To-
cent card with the personal touch of
a written verse that you know is the
favorite of the reader than one OF
these anything" presents.
When choosing a book think of the
reader. Do not give poetry to one

who prefers history, and fiction Of
the modern type surely is out Of
place in the library of one who is
fond of the Elizabethan drama. To
one who never wears jewels it would
be foolish to give shining bracelet;
the gift would imply lack of in
terest and knowledge concerning the
recipients taste.
Let your gift mean something to your
friend. Let it speak of sincere friend
ship, Of which the natural wish to
please is the result.
.'Why, this is just what l WANT is
an exclamation of delight that tells In
every tone of the thought of the giver::
That is the kind of gifts that you should
be choosing.
For grandmother you should choose
the present that will silently show that
you have not forgotten her likes. For
little Fred the same rule should guide
you.
/ have known young girls to buy de-
liberately an impersonal gift to give IN
case she gives one to me-" Think OF 1t.
Would you, my dear friends. like to re-
Necessarily there would be a pitlable
absence of the personal touch IN tnat
kind of present.
As last suggestion. let me urge you
to give within your means. Do not
fooliShly. spend an amount that you can
not afford Just to make an exchange
that is balanced in cost A friend who
is worth your love will not consider how
much a gift has cost That good friend
will, however. appreciate the personal
thought back of a little present, and will
miss the touch If it be not there.
Above all, do. not forget that when you
cannot give your heart and wish for
a happy Christmas with your gift. IL
were better not to give at all. Let sin
cerity and honesty stand back OF every
thing, from an expensive piece of jewel

trials. Any change is; but you are
molding your figure while you can
and you will have to forego the pleas
ures to which you are accustomed. At
least there will be fat back as the
result, and that is worth while. v
Now, 1 wish to speak emphaticalIy to
my readers about the correct and the
incorrect way Of standing. Young
women seem not to think OF the inn
portance Of a graceful pose. The general
tendency is TO drop the head and
shoulders, to stand with the weight of
the body on the heels, which throws
the abdomen forward and gives an
awkward, unattractive position. Let
me tell you a secret: A good carriage
of the body depends on one thing. The
weight Of the body should fall on the
balls of the feet. Here is little exer-
the shoulders straight. and lean for
a well. AS soon as the weight of the
body is thrown forward, raise the head
and there you arei The line from the
head to the heels should be a slanting
line, not a straight one.
Then, as a last and very important
suggestion, let me emphasize the ad-
vantage of systematic exercise. Take
a pair Of dumbbells and ten minutes
a day and with the movements that
bring all muscles Of your body into play
harden and strengthen your body. Dumb
bell exercise is corrective and formative.
Do not neglect this last hint, please,
Now is the time to decide whether
grace and good development and fine
figure are to be yours 1t is hardly
necessary for me 10 recommend the
right ways, If you are as wise as I
suspect.
