One can judge a family pretty well by
the way they keep Christmas. To some
people Christmas is season of genuine
happiness, the sort of happiness that
touches everyone who come smear. To
Others Christmas is period of cxaspcra
ton, of envy, of disappointment that
grows out Of misunderstanding of the
meaning of the holiday.
The fault is never with Ch.istmas-it
is within ourselves. Think this over and
admit the truth of it.-Delineotor.

TARIFF is A TAX.

The word "tax" should be subsaE
tuted for the word tariff" The peo
pie would then understand the ques'
ton better. Fewer people would then
accept the protectoniSt theory
that the way for them to increase
rheir prosperity would be to increase
the tax on everything they eat, wear
and use. To use the word 'tax" I'M
stead of "tartff" would be to make
the protection appear Ridiculous to
the wage GARNER. Instead of saying
the tariff on wool' 1t would be bet
ter to say "the wool tax" The word
tariff is a deceiver.. But the people
know what tax lis. They know they
pay it themselves. The word Tariff
has a certain ring to it that sounds
like it was paid by some third party.

HAIR HEALTH.
II You Have Scalp or Hair Trouble,
Accept this Offer.

When we promise your money back
for the mere asking If Rexan "9S"
Hair Tonic does not do as We claim it
will, you certainly have no reason for
even hesitating TO try it. We do not
ask YOU to obligate yourself in any
way.
We. could moi afford to so strongly
endorse Rexall 1897 Hair Tonic and
continue to sell it as we do, If il
did not do all We claim. Should our
enthusiasm carry us away and Rexall
"93" Hair Tonic not give entire sat
isfactiOn to the user, they would lose
faith in us and our statements and
In consequence our business prestige
would suffer.
Therefore, when We assure you thai
Rexall 1913" Hair Tonic will promptly
eradicate dandruff, Stmulte hail
growth and prevent premature bald
ness, YOU may rest assured that We
know what we are talking about.
We honestly believe that Rexal
"9S" Hair Tonic will do more than
any other human agency toward
restoring hair growth and hair health
It is not greasy and will not gum the
scalp or hair or cause permanent stair
Il is as pleasant to use as pure cold
water. It comes i'm two sizes, prices
30 cents and s1.0O. Remember YOU
can obtain it only at our stOre-The

comment upon il. Some of the COM

sent in from a resident of Stra1ford,
Conn, for instance, must have been
a severe jolt TO Mr.. H;ll'S standpat

Hope diamond, which cost $3.50, 900,
and at her throat another widely Gel
ebrated gem, str of the Esst;'
which was even larger than the Hope
diamond.
The cost per plate at the Mclean
dinner was 500. One item in the
expense was 1000 yellow lilies import
ed from abroad at cost of 81 each.
One OF the highest paid mill wonk-
ers at Lawrence would have to work
"a years to receive the cost of that
banquet. The earnings Of a dozen
Lawrence workers for half a century
would not have purchased the gems
worn by Mrs. Mclean A Lawrence
worker would have to work 20 years
to pay for the yellow n[es alone.
The strike of the men, women and
children at Lawrence, and the $500
a plate DINNER I'm Washington, is a
striking example Of conditions ex-
isting under our system Of excessive
protection in the year Of OUT Lord
1912. Neither the Lawrence strike
nor the $4,000 Mclean dinner are
exceptions. They are but samples Of
many similar Illustrations which could
be cited if space permitted. Only re-
Gently VIM. NJ. Wood, the head of the
wooden trust, whose employees are
now ON strike at Lowrence, was ar
rested for knocking down and running
over a pedestrian with his automobile
When arraigned in court he was asked
how many automobiles he owned and
he replied he didn't know. Imagine
a man so rich he doesn't know how
many autos he has ON hand.
Fortunes which make it possible for
one woman to wear a half million dol
lsrs' worth of diamonds at one time,
and which enables a man to possess
so many automobiles he cannot keep
track of them, necessarily come
through the power to place a price
on the things which the common peo-
pie must have in order to live.
It is significant in this connection,
that the tariff, the cost of living, 500
a plate dinners everything but the
wOrkingman's wages-have increased
hand i'm hand, revealing the intimate
relationship of one to the other.
