Some time ago the court at New
York ruled that the Cream of Wheat
CO., might lawfully refuse to deal with
a merchant who sold their products
below the price named by the COM
pany. Later the court at Detroit en-
joined the Kellogg Co., also manufac-
turers of cereal food, from discrim-
mating in any way against price-cut-
tiers. The ruling in the former case
is regarded as more of a judicial pre-
cedent than that in the latter which
is said to be sort of compromise
between two parties to a lawsuit and
which has been influenced by the ten
dency of the federal department of
justice to regard all price agreements
as unlawful restraints of trade.

restful attitude is to lie on the back
with the knees elevated on a couple of
pillows or cushions. Ten minutes in
this position will effect a wonderful
rest.
A splendid idea to keep stockings
mated, especially in large family, is
to place good-sized patent fasteners on
the top hem of the stockings, then
when the hose are taken off they are
snapped together, may be so washed,
and will return still united.
Never throw away old quilts, as
they make the best kind of padding
for a stair carpet.
When sweater sleeves become thin
at the elbow, cut them out of the
arm hole and exchange them, putting
the left sleeve into the right arm

Today's Poem
CHRISTMAS EVE

CHRISTMAS EVE
The backlog's flame has died away;
The embers into ashes drift.
Outside the SHOWS are eddying, gray,
And piling fast in many a rift.
White robed in snow the cedar tree
Where once the catbird nightly
sang,
And from the caves by two and three
The icicles like arrows hang.
The shadows on the somber wall
Fit, cross and dance amid the
gloom,
And streak of ghostly color fall
In changing hues about the room.
The spiders in the corners dim
Within their webs the closer cling,
And from the mantel's oaken rim
A pair of children's stockings
swing.
Ger field and forest, lane and road
Fast and still faster swirl the
SHOWS,
And in the barn loft snugly slowed
A drowsy rooster wakes and crows.
The clock strikes twelve, and midnight
wanes,
While winter skies stretch cold and
drear.
Frost flowers blossom on the panes,
The SHOWS float by and disappear.
And then across the rooftree ewells,
Borne by the winds that fall and
rise,
A sound that GIBBS and peals and dies.
And next adown the chimney creeps
The children's saint in all the lands,
And, true to all the trysts he keeps
White bearded on the hearthstone
stands.

ounce of the meat left there is use.
One very good way to use cold roast
beef is to serve it a la partridge"
Cut through the beef across the
grain enough slices to serve one to
each person. The slices should be
about one-half inch thick. Suppose
our family numbers four; then we
would cut four slices.
Make filling of two cups of light
bread crumbs, seasoning the crumbs
with one small onion, sliced and lightly
Drowned in butter; add sweet marjor-
an, cayenne pepper and salt to the
crumbs; lay about two tablespoons to
the filling on each slice and fold over,
fastening the sides with small wood
en- toothpick; lay the mock cartridges
side by side on baking pan and on
top put one slice of bacon. Put in
hot oven until Drowned. This will
only take a few minutes. Serve with
this a bread sauce to further the illu-
sion of "bird." Every Southern
housekeeper would. It's the sauces
and the savors that add to the fiavors
and are the keynote of the whole.
To make bread sauce:
Put crumbs to form a stale loaf into a
saucepan containing one pint of wa
ter. Tie in a cloth few peppercorns
and one small onion and a blade of
mace. Add a piece of butter and a
little salt. Add before taking from
the fire a spoonful of milk; this will
give it a nice color. The sauce must
not be too thick. Serve in sauce

Chicago Paper Commends Action

chicago EtNNiOh
In commenting upon the notable ac-
ton taken by the convention, The
Chicago Tribune says, "The commit
tee on alcoholism of the convention of
alienists and neurologists includes in
it's report a resolution which it is to
be hoped will be taken up seriously by
the medical profession throughout the
country. 1t was, Resolved, that or
gained medicine should initiate ana
carry on a systematic, persistent pro-
paganda for the education of the pub
lie regarding the delirious effects of
alcohol 1t was further resolved
that the medical profession should
take the lead in securing adequate
legislation against the evils of alcohol.
The battle against the Demon Rum,
begun a generation ago as religious
and moral crusade, is increasing in
vigor all over the world and of late
especial consideration is given to the
pathological aspect of the problem.
The relation of alcoholism to disease
of body and mind is being more and
more discussed, and to this attack the
medical profession can bring tremend-
Gus reserves of influence. If the doc
tors will preach the wastes and dan
gers of alcoholic abuse they will do
more than laws and moral lectures
have yet accomplished, and they will
greatly aid intelligent legislation to
boot"

Alcohol Denounced

Alcohol which for hundreds of years
has enjoyed a top-notch position on
the drug shelf of the world has been
unceremoniously removed, the process
being accompanied by many unflatter-
ing comments from scientists who
have analysed and scrutinized and
metaphorically dissected in their la
boratories it and its victims. Not
only has alcohol been excluded from
the United States Pharmocopoeia, but
physicians in increasing numbers in
every section of the country and from
every school are denying that it has
any medicinal virtue and declaring it
is always poison, and that one of the
duties of the up-to-date physician is
to educate the public concerning it's
true nature and effects and to work
for prohibition legislation.
At a meeting of the Minnesota
Medical association held recently in
st. Paul, DR.. J. T. Rogers, president,
advocated a campaign against alcohol
by the physicians of his state. He
said in part:
at becomes of paramount import
ance to the medical profession to use
its influence in vigorous campaign
of enlightenment of the public from
scientific standpoint. If further ar
gument were needed to convince you
of the necessity for immediate action,
one has only to point to our insane
asylums, poor houses, hospitals, in
stitutions for detectives and our
Sums"
This meeting also passed strong re-
solutions in favor of temperance and
prohibition.
