A REAL SANTA CLAUS.
Tips For Interesting Entertainment

Tips For Interesting Entertainment
That Children Like.
When there are many young people
Santa Claus sack causes endless de-
light. For the complete success Of the
plan it is necessary for the house to
have a convenient chimney and access
to the roof. On Christmas morning
each person receives a note from Santa
Claus requesting him to be in special
room at a certain time. When the
time arrives there is a jingling Of
bells in the chimney and then slides
down a tempting looking sack-'from
Santa Claus!" The plan is simply
worked by collecting all presents into
q brown sack, which is securely fast
ened. Then on Christmas morning one
person goes on to the roof and lets
down the chimney a rope bearing a
strong hook. On to the latter the sack
Is fixed by another person below, the
rope is hauled up the chimney a suf-
ficient distance and let down again at
the appointed time.
The favorite Mexican Christmas en-
tertainment- -pinata-is good Yuletide
merriment and an uncommon way Of
distributing small presents. A large
earthern jar-called in Mexico a can
taro-should be decorated with flow
ers and evergreens and filled with
small presents, bonbons and trinkets.
1t should then be hung by strong cords
from the middle of a ceiling to within
about eight feet Of the floor. In turn
the people are blindfolded, led several
times around the room, then brought
to within a yard Of the jar, given a
sturdy stick and told to hit it. Each
one takes turn in this until the jar is
broken, the successful person being
awarded a special prize.
There are many substitutes for the
big Christmas tree, one of the best be-
ing large japanese parasol, open and
hung by the handle from the ceiling.
1t should be gaily decorated with rib
bons and tinsel, the presents being ar
ranged along the wires and on stout
strings going from the points to the
handle.

GIANT BOYS CHRISTMAS.

Once on a time there was little
giant boy who lived near the edge OF
Giantland. One day in the woods he
had met a little lost boy from Man
land: The little boy had been out in
the woods looking for Christmas
green's.
Dear, DEAR" the giant boy said,
would you tell me what you mean by
ChristmasT
So the little boy from Mainland told
him all about Christmas and Santa
Clats, and the little giant boy thought
Christmas was a fine idea.
"But we don't have it here" he said.
II wish we could get Santa to come
to visit the little boys in Giantland."
"Oh, that's easy!" replied the little
lost boy. "Just write letter to Santa.
He lives at the north pole. He'll be
sure to come to see you then"
Then the little lost boy took the road
through the woods that the giant boy
said led to Mainland, and he was never
seen around there again.
That evening the little giant boy told
his father and mother about Santa.
He also wrote a note to the old gentle
man asking him to please come down
their chimney that Christmas.
Santa was pleased when he got that
letter, but when all the other young
giant boys and girls began writing to
him he was a good deal worried, be-
cause he'd never visited Giantland and
felt that the toys which he made for
children of ordinary size would scarce
ly do for giant children.
However. Santa made up his mind he
would do the best lie could.
On Christmas night he stopped his
sleigh on the roof of the giant boys
house. When he saw the big chimney
Santa Claus was almost tempted to
turn back.
He managed to scramble down, but
when he saw the giant boy had hung
up his mothers stocking instead Of his
own he just put his pack on his back
and started up the chimney again.
The pack full of toys would scarcely
have filled the toe of the stocking.
The little giant boy was angry when
he got up ard found the stocking empty.
"There, now," he cried; 'it's all a
humbug about Santa Clausi You see
there isn't any Santa Claus after air.
And all the other little giant boys
agreed with him, for Santa never came
back.

CHEAPER BREAD.
How Rye Flour Cuts the Cost Of Even

How Rye Flour Cuts the Cost Of Even
One Loaf.
With the price of wheat -four soar
ing almost daily, the housewife is vital
ly concerned with any Suggestions for
lowering the cost Of the "staff Of life" :"
To answer occasional inquiries for
methods of utilizing rye -four Miss
Pearl Macdonald, In charge Of home
economics extension at the Pennsyl-
vania State college, has prepared this
recipe:
Two cupfuls of liquid (half water
and half milk.
Two tablespoonfuls of fat Gard or
butter).
Two tablespoonfuls Of brown sugar.
A teaspoonful Of salt.
A quarter to a whole yeast cake dis
solved in a quarter cupful Of luke
warm water.
Three to four cupfuls of rye flour.
Enough wheat -four to knead into
dough.
Scald liquid, aid fat, sugar and salt.
When lukewarm add dissolved yeast
and enough flour to make a batter.
When light add enough more flour to
make dough. Knead till smooth and
elastic. When slightly more than dou-
bled in bulk make into loaves. When
light bake from fifty minutes to an
hour.
A combination Of rye and wheat
-four gives a lighter and more desirable
loaf than one made with rye -four
alone.

Furniture That She Would Enjoy All
the Year.
When we come to real furniture we
find no end of small pieces inexpensive
and suitable for Christmas giving
which lend themselves agreeably to
this room or that and constitute a per
fectly "safe" choice. The popular "kid-
ney table," most attractive invention
laboring under an ugly name, is one of
these. Two years ago it was only to be
found In the most exclusive shops; to-
day we find it wherever good furniture
is sold, and with its gracefully curved,
traJlike top and slender legs, one at
each end, It fits into all sorts of places
where regular" table would be awk-
ward or refuse to go at all. OF mahog
any 1t sells for about S15 in the very
finest finish: of oak 1t is cheaper, and
when of real lacquered woods 1t Is
more. Not the least charming of the
various styles, however, is the kidney
table made of whitewood, painted
black with lacquer finish and hand
decorated with old fashioned nosegays
or quaint, conventional flowers. Here
Is a practical suggestion for an indi-
vidual reading table to draw up by

How to Make Delicious 5onbons Ihat

Not often TO be had in store choco-
late creams Is the f1avoring of cordials
or liquors that can be added to home
made ones from a well stocked side
board. They make a delicious combi-
nation with the chocolate and keep the
candy moist longer than any other fill
ing. Knead a little piece of the fon-
dant until it is warm and soft; make
little hollow in the center, pouring in
the cordial from the top and kneading
1t over Let it get cold and thoroughly
hard before dipping. The coating will
be more glossy If you thin the melted
chocolate partly with butter instead Of
all water. 1t should be the consisten-
cy of good, thick cream, and the butter
thins 1t as well as gives it gloss. 1t
should be melted in pan Of water and
kept standing in it while coating the
bonbons, keeping 1t at that tempera-
ture where it feels warm to the touch.
Use a silver butter pick for dipping
and insert at the top, and as you take
it out twist 1t so as to give the little
curl Of chocolate over the top.

INCREASED COST OF PRoDuc-
TON FORCES THIS CHANGE

As announced in the above headline
tho Biz Sandy News win change ia
policy In handling tho subscription llst.
We are compelled either TO increase tho
subscription TO $3.50 per year or TO take
steps that win stop all leaks and waste,
We hope by doing the latter To keep
tho subscription price at one dollar.
We are making announcement of our
new policy several months In advance
OF its adoption so that Gil our friends
and subscribers win have ample time
to get on the new basis.
II has been customary nom -time
immemorial" almost for country pa
pers TO extend credit to subscribers and
TO continue sending the paper until
death. poverty, disease. hopeless de-
, linquency. or an earthquake caused y
break. This 10 bad business and often
times very unsatisfactory. Some peo-
pie get the impression that the pub
Usher il trying to force the paper on
them. This Is one thing the publisher
OF the Big Sandy News can truthfully
say he has never Intended nor had any
desire TO do. In soliciting we do not
even insist strongly upon anyone sub
scribinB for the paper. because we new
er want TO push II upon any person.
Our Efforts are directed chiefly 20 MAX
ing a paper worth the subscription
price Nevertheless. few people seem
To think the paper is being forced up
on them when IT continues beyond tho
date paid for,
On the other hand. we have had n
number OF subscribers to resent our
action in stopping the paper Mt the ex-
piration Of the period paid for, saying
IL was reflection on their credit. This
In the source from which we anticl-
pate most OF the trouble that Is likely
To come in changing to strictly cash
In advance system. But when the
change is made II win be absolutely
necessary 20 enforce IL impartially.
The mailing list win be in charge Of
an employee who doesn't know anS
better than TO stop every subscription
at It's paid expiration.
Although as above stated. the prop
osition has two sides, we believe out
friends and patrons will like the new
system better We ask their kind co
operation In establishing this moy
business like plan.
