VERY one is familiar with the
viands that go to make up the
a Christmas dinner of the Eng
lish speaking races-the tur-
key, goose, plum pudding and mince
pie festivals-but how many Of US
know what they eat at ChriStmastide
in foreign countries?
The Frenchman's Christmas bill Of
fare, for instance, is extensive and
varied and in many respects quite
different from our own. The great
Gallo national dishes are truffled tur-
key and black puddings. Of which
every Frenchman who can afford such
luxuries makes a very hearty meal at
Yuletide.
In Russia the Christmas meal consists
largely Of two dishes-one Of wheat
porridge served with honey and the
other a curious compound Of stewed
pears, apples, oranges, grapes and cher
ries, sweetened with honey and served
cold.
Italians, too, are fond of rather
sweet and indigestible dishes, espe'
cially at Christmas. One Of their
favorite combinations is that Of cells,
periwinkles and vermicelli, while the
inevitable macaroni and spaghetti form,
of course. the principal articles of food
at all times
The German Christmas dinner offers
as its principal attraction the goose,
without which your true German
would feel that he had not had real
holiday feast. Germans, like Aus
trians and italians, have very sweet
taste. as evidenced by their numerous
varieties of cake
Notwithstanding the tendency in all
countries to offer huge dinners at
Christmas. it would seem that every

POSTAL WAS 34
 YEARS ON WAY.

Clifton, N. J July 27.-Edward Morrell, a retired builder of 164 Pas safe avenue. now past so years. was astonished yesterday by the delivery of a postcard which was mailed to him more than 34 years ago-on June 16, 18S1-by David c. Wickhar1, at New Hampton, N. Y. The only postmarks on the card are those showing the card left New Hampton on June Is, 1881, and arrived in Passaic on uIy 25, 1915.
 What route the card took from New EI4npto' to Passaic, which re- quired 34 years, is a, question that is puzzling Postmaster James J. @Cowley of Passaic-
 MT. Morreu 34 years ago was one of the most prosperous builders in North Jersey. The card, which was addressed plainly, Edward Morrell, Esq, Passaic, N. J.,'' where he lived 50 years, advised him that a certain carload of lumber he ordered was on its way. He received the lumber and paid for 1t. It forms part of some of the we'll known buildings in Passaic, many of which were erected by him.
 The entire message OF the card was written in black ink personally by MT. Wickhan. The ink has slightly faded. MT. Wickham died IS years ago.

LOCOMOTIVE ABnAzE ON TRACK.
Engineer Made Dash For Water Tank
 But Failed.

Philadelphia, July 27-A locomotive on the Pennsylvania Railroad, draw ing 8. trainfu1 of passengers, took fire near Shawmont and was burned so badly that it was almost a total wreck. Charles Weissheiner, the engineer, when he discovered the fire put on full steam and ran for the nearest water tank. The flames scorched his hand holding the throttle, but he bravely stuck to his post.
 Within few yards of the water tank the engine stalled. An alarm was turned in to the Conshohocken Fire Department, but the engines ar rived too late. The passengers were at first thrown into a panic by the blaze but were quieted by the train crew. They got out of the coaches and watched the unique fire for twen- tY minutes. :.

TURN ON THE LIGHT.

Why cannot the public gas lamps of our city be kept burning until an hour or so before dawn? This turn ing off the burners at II a. m. seems not exactly the thing. The additional consumption of gas would not amount to any great sum and the extra light would be we'll worth the expense. It looks uncivilized and ~o1d-fogyish to leave the city in total darkness at the very hour when burglars and mid night prow1ers commenc operations.

On passing from Call in to Middle street however, he made too short turn and fell. The right wheels at the same instant struck the curb stone with such force as to upset the carriage. Miss Holcomb was thrown, out upon the Tagging, but strange to say, receved no serious in jury. The injury to horse and car rage was also slight

the foreign article at prices approxi-

manufacturer can reasonably expect. 1t
Is little enough for the home consumer
to yield.
1t isn't merely a matter Of luxuries
like cigars but of the various necessi-
ties and staples made at home. 1t is
question of home tailors and home
Gamers and home mills and home fac
tories and farm products manufactured
at home. And 1t Is not alone a ques-
ton for the consumer he has no
monopoly of patriotism. but for the
home merchant. The home product

his eloquence. II good article is made
at home why not sell it as well as buy
it generally at home?
The fact is that three -fourths Of us
do not know what and how well we
make things in Marshalltown. 1t has
been suggested that a manufacturers
fair lasting couple OF days for the
display Of Marshalltown Industrial
products would be an excellent edu-
cative proposition and FLIP to that
business patriotism that seems to have
given the home cigar trade a firmer
grip on the Sioux City market. Mar
shailtown products are sold all over the
world. Some of them are the standard
of excellence on two hemispheres. Mar
shalltown made products are In use
and standard in every civilized and
half civilized part of the world. But
most of US do not know it. Perhaps
it would be advantageous to those who
make and those who use in Marshall
town if we did know more about our
own industries and our own opportun-
tiles to keep each hand washing the

Tired Of the Love Stuff.

How tired / am of the Wilson love
affair already, And it has only COM
menced: ] shall see reference to it
in every newspaper for weeks; and
probably for months. In almost every
family you may hear protests because
the president took notice" too soon.
But the newspapers cram the affair
down orr threats as tho we loved
and approved it Here is woman of
no distinction except that she chased
a president and caught him. And the
people are compelled to hear about
her by the column and page: we even
read of her youthful enthusiasm al
tho she confesses to SO. The people
had been thinking of the president as
buried In the White House library,
mourning for his lost mate and read
ing good books to enable him to meet
the grave emergencies OF the war; but
suddenly they are confronted with the
fact that ins stead of doing these things
he has been slipping past the news
paper boys in the evenings and hold
ing widows hand. How Ike jays who
make up the people are imposed upon!

WHERE WILSON MADE FRIENDS.

President Wilson no doubt finds his
position as a soon to be married man
rather embarrassing in many WAYS.
Glad anticipation can scarcely cover I'm
all the sings and arrows of criticism
and the shafts of ridicule that in
variably are aimed at the engaged man
as the day when his sentence is to be
executed approaches. But he bears it
Well The only evidence he has shown
OF serious annoyance was when some
body wrote one Of those sentimental
songs OF the day with Wilson and his
hancee as the subject of the song.
Then Wilson rose up and in the noliter
parlance of presidents did what every
one else would do, ordered the songster
to cut it out. He wouldn't have it.
That In itself constitutes anothe,
bond between the president and the
common citizen. Any man who could
endure quietly to be the central figure
of one OF those gooey songs so favored
by the present generation of vaudeville
goers wouldn't be fit to be president of
the Z. S. or even Of peace society
He may have grown lonesome rather
early and that private telephone wire
may be little mushy but the fact
that the use of his love affair by
writer Of modern sentimental songs
filled him with rage shows that his
hearts in the right place and that the
mans a man for a. o. that.
The common everyday modern mess
OF gush assumed to be sentimental
song is the premier present day ex-
cuse for murderous assault. 1t is at
the bottom of the strong demand for
an official fool killer. Any lovesick
candidate for the psychopathic ward
can write them and they are sung with
most expression and better interpreta-
ton by escaped inmates from Glen
wood
Somebody. sometime, somewhere said
that if he could write the songs of a
nation he could control its future. II
that is so the modern song stuff is
likely to put this nation in the bug
house in time.
