So much interest has been aroused
in the st Nicholas Girls and the Doll
and Toy fund, which The Journal is
advocating, that, in order to answer
the many questions regarding it, the
People and Events editor publishes
again an account of the way the work
was started and how the ST. Nicholas
Girls hope to carry it on.
Every year about this time we all
begin to think about those who are
less fortunate than ourselves. With
the approaching Christmastide, we all
must think of the Christ Child and of
those little children whom he so loves.
Every year there are many children
who are made very happy by the good
women and men of PenSacola-Ettle
ones who would have no happy Christ
mas, We're it not for. these generous
ones who give so freely of their own,
some of their plenty, and some their
mite, that the less fortunate may be
made happy.
This year it has been planned to
commence this work a little earlier
than usual, SO that it may have greater
publicity.
For several years at Christmas time
an organization of young Girls, the
Silent Workers, have been trying to
bring happiness into little lives at the
Christmastide, and they have dOae
they have worked with them, the
greater has seemed the need
For several years The Journal has
been publishing the letters of the chill
dren at Christmas time, and the Peo-
pie and Events editor was struck last
Christmas with the number of letters
that are sent to the good Christmas
saint, and wondered if he could get
around TO all these little children.
So when one Of the Silent Workers
called up the People and Events edi-
tor and wondered if we couldn't start
a Doll and Toy fund for the children,
it seemed an answer to an earnest
wish. We had already thought about
having a st. Nicholas Girl, and so
that seemed to be the very thing. A
St. Nicholas Girl and a Doll and Toy
fund.
The st. Nicholas Girl movement was
started several yeas ago by Miss Sc
lene Armstrong Of Atlanta Miss Arm
strong used to be society editor OF
the Atlanta Journal, and later went to
Washington, D. c., and held the same
position on the Washington Post.
Through the Post she worked to make

a merry Christmas and she was so
successful that she told others about
it, and the Ladies' Home Journal pub

Here is a homemade remedy that
takes hold of cough almost instantly,
and will usually conquer an ordinary

pint-enough for a whole family. You
couldn't buy as much or as good ready
made cough syrup for $3.50.
Mix one pint of graduated sugar with
IL pint of warm water, and stir 2
minutes. Put 215 ounces of Pinex fifty
cents WORTHY in a pint bottle, and add
the Sugar Syrup. This keeps perfectly
and has a pleasant taste-children like

slightly laxative, which helps end a
cough.

of pine in treating bronchial asthma,
bronchitis, spasmodic Group and whoop-

other natural healing pine elements.

The prompt results from this inexpen-
