While it must appear to every thinking person in the United States who reflects On the subject that less than ever Is this a time to indulge in unnecessary extraVa- gauces merely for personal or sell fish satisfaction, and it should be ap- parent to the most casual observer that unparalleled distress and sui ferirg are being endured by count less thousands in the. countries across the sea, whose pleadings for relief are waited to Us on every breeze, it would be neither de- corous nor appropriate to celebrate the coming holiday season except in a most unostentatious way, even though we are safely sheltered in this quiet northern nook, where only the almost inaudible rumblings of the conflict come to disturb our quietude.
 But however much our sympathles are enlisted for the inhabitants of the countries that are undergoing the horrors of the European war, we feel that the contributions which we have already donated and sent them through the medium of the Red Cross society is the extent of our abilities for relief, and that we can without bricks of conscience enter into a sane, proper and sub dued observance of a holiday that We have since early childhood as sociated with the receipt and dis bursement of tokens of love and friendship.
 Many of the stores in SkaSway are already decorated beautifully and artistically for the holiday trade and the show windows filled with all kinds of offerings to delight the hearts of young and old alike. While strolling down the street last night we were attracted by the handsome display in the mercantile establishment of Fl. J. Lynch, where may be had presents for either miss es. boys, women or men in infinite variety. The windows are filled with toys of all kinds, games and books of all kinds, ladies' misses and mems felt slippers, bath robes silk umbrellas, silk hosiery, silk and kid gloves, neckties, sweaters etc, etc.
 At the Claysor mercantile store we found a magnificent and well assorted stock of mems and boys furnishings, silk shirts, silk neck wear, silk and wool underwear, silk hoSiery, silk pajamas, silk handker- chiefs, shoes for all, and handsome sets of furs displayed in the win dows.
 At Dortero & Sons there are all the latest styles in gents wearing apparel, footwear handkerchlets' and all the accessories needed by man Or boy.
 J. Ikuta, has a very handsome display of diamonds, nugget and ivory iewelry,. Japanese china and many other articles suitable for presents.
 At Tony Dortero's one may find toys, boxes and baskets of candy, fruits, nuts, etc, as well as carefully selected stock Of domestic and imported fancy groceries, and smokers sundries. .... z At the grocery stores of c. W. Ask & Sons and P. H. Ganty was found everything in season in the fruit and vegetable line as well as

FACTS ABOUT THE SHAMPOO
Really Simple Matter If One Only Will
Go About 1t In the Proper
Way.

If women would once realize what
ioy and relief shampoo brings at the
end of a journey, they would forever
cease their wall that hair does look
80 forlorn for days after shampoo.
This latter is so necessary. There is
a Jelly now made for the purpose that
forms a lather while wet on the head,
and gives one a good wash for little
trouble. Then in hotel or at home
maid can rub ones hair dry in 20 min
utes with good hard rubbing, and if
the front is done up before quite dry
on curriers', it will dry and kink up
while one maps before dinner. Or, if
carefully used, and Lot too hot, the
use of curling iron will not injure
the hair, if only used after a shampoo.
After a journey at hotel, such a
treatment brings much relief from
fatigue. and a hat worn at dinner,
with the ends of ones hair curled up
around the face, will bring much
greater enjoyment than simly comb
