CHRISTMAS AT BEllEvIllE
SCHOOL.

The last school day of the year 1911
had a period of pleasant diversion in
the Christmas programs that were
rendered in every classroom. These
consisted of readings, recitations,
songs, little dramas, etc. Being spe-
cially limited to the grade, a large
number of pupils took part and the
programs were much enjoyed.
Formal celebrations took place in
the Annex, where the kindergarten, in
the forenoon, and the First grade in
the afternoon, had their tree and fire
place.
This room was beautifully decorated
by gariands of jasmine and poinsettias
and had in places of equal honor the
Big brick fireplace of the Southern
Christmas and the tree of song and
story. The glowing freight of the
former let the pretty presents Sasta
Claus had brought his little Belleville
school friends; the latter was bright
with lines of colored lights, silver
webs left by the spiders in their close
inspection of Christmas preparations
and the presents made by the children
for their parents.
Among the many interested visitors
was the schools much-loved director
Mr.. Frank Henning.
The little girls of the kindergarten
received dainty dolls; the boys, drums
and horns; all received candy and
fruit. The fruit was donated by an
unknown friend, while the other gifts
were from Santa Claus by special re-
quest of the Kindergarten Mothers
Club.
The fifty-one First graders found
where their stockings should have
been hanging, at school, at the great
brick fireplace, fifty-one beautiful dol.
lies, each with happy face holding out
TO its new little mother fancy bag of
candy. Santa had bought some time
before Christmas these pretty, named
dolls and materials for their wardrobes

Opinions among clergymen Of this city
az TO whether the church nag should
float above the Stars and Stripes on
hoard Of American men-of-war when re-
lIEious services are in progress differ
widely, the majority Of them indorsing
the attitude Of Senator Hepburn Of Ida
no. who, at the Flag Day exercises at
the Church Of Our Father is reported
TO have declared that no nag floats above
the Stars and Stripes, in answer TO the
assertion Of Mrs. Isabel Worrell Ball
that a nag OF blue, beaSinK a single
white cross was hoisted above Old
Glory on board ship during divine serv-
ices.
Mgr. William T. Russell pastor Of 81.
Patricks Church, says IL Is a matter
for the Secretary Of the Navy to decide.
Il don't know what the rules Of the
navy are with regard to the display Of
1ags on the men=of-war OF the nation"
said Rev. Dr. Russell. Whatever the
rules may be, II seems to be the prevail
ing rule that there should be no rag
displayed above the Stars and Stripes
The question. however. is one for the
Secretary Of the Navy to settle"
Rev DR.. Samuel H. Woodrow, pastor
OF the First Congregational Church.
Tenth and G Streets Northwest, is OF the
opinion that a flag representing Chris

In the handicraft Of basketry there is
more than a little good cheer, but she is
unframed as yet. waiting for someone to
teach her the simple art Of weaving and
OF working in a bit OF happiness and con-
tentment as the baskets respond TO her
own creative powers.
And that is just where the clubs come

real need Of someone TO put her in touch

tenets, just because Nature prompts the
kindly acts. But there are others who

Of the Good Cheer societies.

SALT HAS MANY
EXCELLENT USES

Salt used once a day is an excellent
dentifrice, tending to keep OF tartar.
II is said to Tetard receding gums.
A half tespoopful Of salt added to a
cup Of hot water-whlch many persons
take each morning-will make it pala-
table.
Do not gargle with salt water. Throat
specialists consider It Injurious to the
tender mucous membrane Of the nose.
Salt water rots the hair, so never
fail to rinse with fresh water after sea
bathing.
To set color in wash materials and
embroidery cottons soak them in strong
salt water.
An excellent tonic for nervous people
is take salt rubs twice a day. As sea
salt dissolves slowly, some Of il can be
kept in solution in a glass jar TO be
ready when needed. The entire salt bath
is also good.
Where a child is inclined to bovlegs
or TO have a weak back, rub It night
and morning with a strong salt water
A faded carpet is freshened II wiped
OF with a wet cloth wrung from strong
salt water. Sprinkle floor with damp
ened salt and sweep well
Bad dyspepsia can be helped by dis
solving pinches OF salt on the tongue
after eating. or when there Is a sense
Of oppression.

HORSE RADISH INFUSED
IN MILK FOR COMPLEXION

While buttermilk as a cosmetic is gen
orally used, plain milk is more effective
when infused with freshly grated horse
radish.
The horse radish and milk cure is a
simple one, worthy the trial of every
girl who wishes TO preserve the color
and texture OF her skin. 1t is prepared
by grating a fresh horse radish root
very fine, then covering it with milk.
Let this mixture stand over night, so
the strength Of the horse radish may
be absorbed by the milk and the es-
sentiaI chemical reaction take place
In the morning strain through a
cheese cloth and bathe the face twice
day, night and morning, in the lotion.
Keep it tightly bottled and make a
fresh infusion the moment there is the
slightest trace of the lotion becoming
sour. Faithfulness to directions is the
secret of success with the milk rene,
