GRAB BAG is LOTS OF FUN

There are many jolly games that can
be played on Christmas night, and one
of the jolliest is the grab bag, which
has afforded much fun in times past.
There should be big muslin bag
a pillowcase will answer-tied from
the chandelier. In this bag put doz-
ems and dozens Of little gifts, not one
of them expensive; just all sorts Of
trinkets that you can pick up for a
few pennies each, every one neatly
tied in paper, so no one knows what's
inside.
Then a bov or girl is blindfolded,
given q cane in one hand, turned round
three times and told to strike at the
bag.
1t Is great sport for the watchers to
see the frantic efforts made to hit that
bag, and equally exciting when, having
succeeded, the blindfolded player dips
into the era bag and pulls out n gift
Such fun is TO open the packages
For there ar, enough gifts In the bag
to give every brother or sister or cousin

There is a possibility that the state
will not be re-districted to accom-
modate the thirteenth congressman

creased population. Most Of the pres
ent congressman are pretty we'll sat
ished with the way the state is di-
vided at present and it is said they
are using their influence to have
things left as they are
1t is not necessary that the state
be re-districted, because it could con
tinue to have a congressman-at-large
as at present The legislators who
have announced themselves at favor
ing the plan of inaction say that the
state is better off with a competent
congress smsn-at-large because the in
terests of the whole state are looked

tertainment For Holiday Party.
A very amusing Christmas game is
the woodseller, and it is capable of sew.
eral variations, including the ever pop
ular forfelts. Any number OF persons
may join in the game.
The person who starts the game
writes the name Of some kind of WOOD
on a paper and folds the paper so that
no one can see the word written upon
It. He then goes around, all the rest
of the players being seated, and says.
Il have a load Of wood to SELL
Each person in turn asks:
"What kindT
The answer is:
"Find out"
Then the person mentions one kind
and If it happens to be the wrong one,
the woodseIer goes to the next, and
so on, until it is finally guessed right
When the right one is named. the one
naming it becomes woodseller
All who make mistakes must pay n
forfeit, to be redeemed at the end of
the game. Those who name wood
twice pay. The list OF woods is long
one, but the best known ones are
the very ones that the players are most
apt to overlook In naming them. \

THE PHILOSOPHY OF TOYS.

Y olden times-and not so ver&
old at that-playthings were re
garded as a weakness to be in
dulged, not a need to be sup
piled. Science has changed all
that. Today toys are recog
nized as a necessary part OF
the child's education. The dol
answers to the mother instinct
in the heart of the little girl
and helps to develop the moth
er side of her nature. Toys are
as essential in the child's train
ing us books. BY careful St
lection they can be made TO di-
rect his activities. The heart
must be educated as well as
the mind.

method is to jot down in a little book

AVE you ever played "tele
grams?" 1t is game for a
crowd of young or old, OF
both. Not n very deep or in
tricate game, nor yet particularly ele
waiting one, but, nevertheless, full OF
Jolly, mirth provoking qualities and
Just the thing for your holiday party.
To carry out the idea properly slips
of yellow paper should be handed to
each participant and pencils provided
for them. Each one is to write thirteen
different letters at the top OF their slip
that is. any thirteen from the alpha.
betical twenty-siX. but without repeti-
ton.
For instance, one might write b. G.,
X, l., NJ, T, e, W, c, s. II. O. II.
Another A. B. G, ID. f, +, G., II. l. J
X, l., NJ, and so on
The slips are then to be passed
along to right hand neighbors, who
must make an understandable telegram
of thirteen words using the characters
at the top of the slips handed theN
for the first letter Of each word. To
thoroughly illustrate, take the first eX-
ample given above Here Is a speci-
men telegram" from it:
Better 90 Kingston late MONDAY
Try express Willie candy soldier. Hope
orders rushing"
Note the fragmentary sentences, such
as are generally employed in CORE
spondence, Of this sort. The possible
ties for good humored fun in the com
piling of kilograms" among a crowd
of friends are endless. But, of course,
they cannot be satisfactorily illustrated
in public print AS in any similar
game, care should be exercised in not
becoming dangerously personal.
At first glance the second example
Of letters as given above (he first thr
teen in our alphabet might seem to be
difficult Of extension. But such is not
the case in the wide latitude Of sense
(and nonsense) allowable in the game
For instance. here is only one way OF,
of the thousands in which it can lee
quickly written:
"Any bright colored dress excellent
for Granville's hop. key joins kisses
Loving mother"
Upon completion the kilograms" are
gathered up in basket and read aloud
either by disinterested party or some
body selected from among the players
themselves.
The only way to appreciate the game
of telegram" is to try it.

he WAS NOT EASILY
CONVINCED

Louis c. Schaum of Wilson, Pa.
went to the McKeesport Hospital fol
an operation for Appendicitis. They
made the usual examination for albu.
men and sugar. Finding the condition
of his kidneys satisfactory they pro-
ceeded with the operation.
1t was successful. But he wanted
to be certain there was no Bright's
Disease and had other physicians
make an examination. They confirm
ed the views of the Hospital authori-
ties
Now for the reason he was anxious
to have his recovery established - in
July the year before he was in such a
condition due to Bright's Disease that
his family physician had told him il
was useless to take more medicine
This caused him to resort to Fulton's
Renal Compound with the above re-
suits.
