The express wagon is backed to the
grocery store entrance and the driver,
assisted by the grocer's boy, begins
to unload Christmas trees. Soon the
walk Is cluttered with them and the
passersby, catching the spirit of the
tree, smile at the children gathering
round. A light snow is falling and
the green of the spruce is inviting, to
say nothing of the reason it has come
to town.
What a lot Of Christmas trees the
grocer has ordered-and yet how few
compared to the many thousands that
grow in Christmas Tree Land, away
up north. Up there the woods are full
of Christmas trees and the SHOWS are
so deep that snowshoes may be nee
essary. And in Christmas Tree Land
there are vast stretches OF nothing but
evergreen trees and white snow-and
In the snow, II you are Versed in
woodcraft, you might find the track
or deer and innumerable trails of
Brer Rabbit, leading away through the
greenery to the quiet, vast places.
Probably you pay 81 or more for a
Christmas tree. Up north they are
free, but the hardy men who gather
them must wade in the deep snow and
draw them many miles to the railroad
that they may be shipped to the little
boys and girls of the city.
And as you sit beside your tree,
with your heart glad and your spirits
gay, you might ponder on how that
tree got to you. You can picture the
vast snow field and the forest with the
December sun shining on 1t, shedding

jewels of light. A squirrel is fioun-
dering about in the snow trying to
locate some buried nuts and a blue
jay is scolding saucily from a maple
tree hard by. And then, into the
quiet comes a man. He Is a sturdy
man with a wooden cap drawn closely
over his ears and nose. There are
Sits for his eyes. On his feet are
great wooden packs with rubber shoes
and his trousers are tucked inside
the packs. His coat is very odd. to
you, consisting of great, bright
sweater sort of garment, buckled
closely around him. On his shoulder
he carries an ak. He begins to cut
Christmas trees and the one you
have in your home Is a very pretty
one that pleases him as he hauls It
away to where his team awaits. With
many other trees your tree is put on
the sled and after a time, is hauled
to the depot where 1t Is shipped 70
your grocer
The man who cut 1t was no doubt
lumberjack and IL he is like his kind,
he lives in a log cabin with his wife
and children. In the olden days he
worked in the timber exclusively, but
now he farms during the summer on
wee farm that he is clearing OF
stumps, and in the winter time he
cuts wood for the lumber companies.
And his little ones always have a
Christmas tree, for Christmas trees
are free where he lives, but probably
it is not as plentifully loaded with
gifts as yours, for which you should
be very thankful

CDR. Kline is widely known throughout low,
~ lecturer sanitarian and physician, havinl
lectured q number Of times in each county il
the state under supervision Of the Board o
Control upon the subject of tuberculosis, it,
Prevention and Treatment.-Ed.)
We die long before our time, prin
cipally because of two reasons. Th'
first of these is wrong habits ant
modes of life, and the second is in
fections from other persons. If these
two conditions might be removed the
average length of human life would
rapidly increase.
Both these causes are remediable
and should therefore be remedied. We
neither know how to build our homes
nor how to live proper lives in them
when they are built. Hence, we die.
In New leland no man can build a
house of any kind until the plans have
been passed upon by the sanitary de-
partment. We build any sort of q
house in any place and live in it in any
sort of way, and we bitterly resent
any supervision of any kind which pro-
poses to make for better health and lon,
ger life. We have whole classes of peo-
pie who really feel that it is their God.
given right to live as they please, tc
house their families as they please,
and to be as unsanitary as they please.
If they sicken and die, that is their
business, not ours.
But we have learned from sad ex-
perience that no man hveth to him,
self alone. If the family next door
has diptheria, our own home is en-
dangered if the family up stream
from us has typhoid fever, it will
likely get into our own home; if oul
our neighbor suffers from tuberculosis
and expectorates everywhere about
him, the whole community is threat
ened.
The God-given right lies on oul
side and not on his, and this is the
right to defend ourselves against hi
folly.
We must learn, as people, thai
our interests are all in common ant
that whatever makes for health Of
disease affects every person in the
commonwealth.
An unsanitary home is a menace tx
every home about it.
1t is therefore the community's bust
ness to see that such homes are made
impossible.
No home can long have health which
is deprived Of any one of three es
sential things; yet many homes hav'
every one of these conditions absent.
The healthy home is LIGHT; it i
DRY; it is AIRY.
The average home Is dark, anC
damp, and the air within 1t is foul ant
impure.

HOW OLD PEOPLE
May Prolong Their Lives

At an advanced age waste is more rapid than repair The organs act more slowly and less effectually than in youth. The circulation is poor. the blood thin and watery, the appetite poor and digestion weak.
 We want to say to every aged per son in this vicinity that vinol. our de licious cod liver and iron tonic with out oil) will prolong life. It creates an appetite. aids digestion and makes good blood. In this natural manner Vinol retards waste and replaces weakness with strength. giving new life to the worn system.
 If people in this vicinity only real ized how vinol invigorates old people we would not be able to supply the demand.
 Try a bottle of vinol with the un- derstanding that your money will be returned if it does not help you.
