yet know from past experience that
many OF them have so much oe the truo
holiday spirit, that despite the extra
burden the season means, they seem to
enjoy it.
Surely the least we can do for all
these overtaxed creatures, is to make
the inevitable burden as light as pos
sible
How?
Well, here are a few suggestions:
In the first place, permit me to re-
peat the old truism-you should gel
your shopping done as early in the sea-
son as possible. You should have had
most of it done in November, but if
you haven't done that, at least you can
do it now" and not leave anything
to be done between the twentieth and
the twenty Even if you plan to
leave nothing for the last minute. there
will surely be some unexpected errands,
50 don't add any deliberate ones to
them.
Do your shopping as early in the day
as possible.
Decide as accurately as you can. lust
what you want before you start to hunt
for it, Don't try to make the already
oyerburdened girl do your thinking and
find out what you want for YOU.
Carry small bundles instead Of having
them sent. Last year in the Christmas
week, | saw woman order a little
piece of ribbon sent out. She had an
ample handbag, and heard her say aft
erwards, Il suppose ] could have carried
that as well as not, but if they will
send things one might as well let Them
Surely that woman must have known
that the expressmen work until nine
and ten o'clock every night for weeks
before The holidays.
Put on your packages, "Not to be
opened until Christmas" and start them
a week or two early whether they go
by express or mail. You don't think
Fts MIG to have things coming so
much ahead of timer You'd rather have
them get there just on Christmas or
day or two before? Suppose. my
dear madame, that you were the post
mans or the expressman's wife and
wanted little of your husband left on
Christmas day to enjoy it with you-how
would you feel about it theni
Remember. we are supposed to be
doing all this to celebrate the birthday
Of Him whose teachings are focused in
the great rule, AS We would that men
should do to YOU, do ye even so to
them"
Do you think we shall be celebrating
that birthday rightly if we consistently
ignore and forget that rule in our prep
arations Exchange.

The Way to Make Tea.

The American hostess might learn
from her japanese sister the most inn
portant secret of good tea making, which
is none other than good tea. Enormous
prices are paid for tea by the well-to-do
women of the aowery kingdom. Too
often the American woman selects this
afternoon delicacy haphazard, of quail
ity and brand she scarcely knows.
Cheap tea is colored, because people
will not buy the pale, rough leaves
that repel by reason Of their unhealth-
full appearance. What adds to the looks,
and hence the market value, of the
tea, detracts from its taste, though
small amount of the eoloring is not
considered harmful.
The reason tea is 80 often designated
az a menace to health is because so
few women understand how to draw it
properly. Tea, rightly drawn, is a bene-
fit, not barrier, to health.
Select your favorite brand of tea, hav
ing made certain that it is Of good quail
ity. Allow teaspoonful to cup,
place all the leaves in an earthen or
china bowl and pour over it freshly
boiled water. Cover it and allow it to
steep from five to eight minutes, accord
ing to its strength--never longer
Straining is the important point. If
allowed to stand on the grounds the
poisonous tanning collects, and this is
where the harm in the beverage rests.

HER SICKLY CHILD

Every mother wants her little boy %

Make your children strong and healthy

For ailing children there is nothing 50
good as Vinol, our delicious tonic, for it

It only took one bottle of Vinol to dc
this for her. She likes the taste OF

Maryland An Early Coal Producer.

Maryland was the second producer OF
coal in the United States and has mined
a total of l6l ,224007 short tons of coal,
including the output for 1910. The first
production according to the United
States geological survey was 5000 tons,

not been large as compared with that

The American Society of Automobile
Engineers, making tour of Europe, left
for France after spending several weeks
inspecting the methods and plants OF
English motor car makers.
The delegates were the guests here
of the Institute of Automobile Engineers.
The Americans arrived just in time for
the opening of the motor show at Olym-
pia and they were given splendid OPP
portunity of comparing the various Eng
fish and foreign cars.
As result of the visit and the show
the talk of the invasion of American
automobiles continues. Only a few
American ears were on exhibition at
Olympia, but these attracted much at
tention. English motor car builders
have learned with amusement that one
American factory this year will turn
out almost as many cars as will be made
in the whole OF England. This ire
mendous production coupled with the
standardizing of the American cars is
causing genuine concern among British
dealers, who must make radical changes
in their methods if they hope to stem
the tide of invasion. They must make
a cheaper car and must turn out their
present cars fully equipped With few
exceptions the English makers supply
only the chassis and engine and the be.
