GETALL THE Fun YOU CAN
OUT OF CHRISTMAS.

Get all the fun you can out of
Christmas. Plunge into the at
mosphere right away. Smuggle
packages. up and down stairs
and hide them in the "oId fash
Toned" hiding places.
Ard remember everybody, not
with the substantial presents
you have thought it imperative
to give, but with a jar Of jelly,
a piece of fruit cake or book or
magazine cover made from bits
of linen your scrap bag has fur
nished, dainty sachet made
from silk scraps or any one Of a
hundred other simple things you
can work on at odd times. These
are the sort of presents which
will restore the old time thrills
that have been we'll nigh lost in
the ioveless gift giving of recent
years.
Teach your children that
Christmas time is giving time
as well as getting time.
Teach them particularly to
think of children whose nests
are less downy than their own.
There are SO many such. And
there is no more tragic thing in
a child's life than to be forgot
ten on Christmas day. Is there
any picture on earth SO appealing
az to see child at a shop win
dow with only windowpane
between his pinched nose and
pointing finger and a high piled
world Of dolls and drums and
skates and picture books7 Can
you imagine a keener pang, a
more sorrowful thing, than the
unanswered prayer of little
child at Christmastide?

The Christmas Dance.

When grandma danced the minuet
Some sixty years ago
The stately couples often met
Beneath the mistletoe.
To waltzes now the customs veer,
But Mabels foxy beau
That damsel doth contrive to steer
Beneath the mistletoe.
Dances change. but not the game.
AS close observers know,
For mortals act about the same
Beneath the mistletoe.

Think MistIetoe Bring. Trouble.

In many parts of the United King
dom the silver berries and the gray
green leaves Of the mistletoe are look
ed upon as anything but an emblem
of good cheer. On the contrary, the
plant is regarded with dread as being
the bringer of i'll luck and the sign of
i'll omen. This superstition exists both
in Devonshire and in Ireland, and.
strange to say. in neither of these
places does the plant flourish.

Huddlestons talk will be along the lines that he will work for the Ninth district while in Washington, and will endeavor to secure legislation of benefit to his constituency.
 Another part of the programme that promises to be of interest is the report of the on-to-T Toronto committee. In the Adviser of this week the following paragraph is devoted to this report: .'The on-to-Toronto committee will have something interesting to tell us Tuesday. They have investigated the plan of sell ing an automobile to raise money for our delegates expenses. There are ob- .ections to this plan, which they will tell us about at the luncheon. They will also submit another plan which they be- lieve is entirely feasible. This latter plan is by far easier to work than any that has been proposed. Not only that, but every member of the club can par ticipate and everybody will have lots of fun"
 It is believed that the committee will submit plans for having 'gridironn din- ner, although nothing official is known concerning their plans.

ALABAMA COAL TO
 BE TESTED IN CUBA
Devereux Lake Taking Cargo There and Big Order May Be Placed by
 Alabama Operators

Devereux Lake, formerly of Birming- ham but more recently of Mexico, Is en route to Cuba with a cargo of coal from the Birmingham district which is to be submitted to tests in that country and which may result in an entirely new field for Birmingham fuel. MT. Lake, who Is well versed in Latin American countries and their needs. recently returned here from Mexico, studied the coal proposition and has succeeded in getting a cargo into Cuba where he is at this time, or will be in a day or two.
 The coal was shipped by w. c. Shack elford of this city to customers in that country for experiments. It is stated that If the coal measures up as MT. Lake and MT Shackelford believe it will that a very large amount will be sold upon the trials that are to be inaugurated within the next few days
 MT. Lake said before leaving that he believed There was wonderful oppor- tunity for the products of this district in the South American countries. and that a little effort would result in the upbuilding of great trade. He is said to have some plans outlined which will permit of extensive operations in that country by local men and which will go to the making of Birmingham even greater. MT. Lake will be in Cuba a few weeks and will then return to Bir- mingham, it Is stated
