If the fire bell should ring would you
run and stop it or would you and
help to put out the fire? 1t is much the
same Way with cough. A cough is a
danger signal as much as fire bell.
Y should no more try to suppress it
than to stop fire bell when it it is ring

causes the coughing. This can always be
done by taking Chamberlain's Cough
Remeny. Many Iva Used it with the
most benencial results. Il is especially
valuable for the persistent cough that so
often follows a bad cold or an attack
of the grip. Mrs Thomas Beeching, of

Christmas Does
Not Stand Alone

If Christmas stood alone it would be
an idle mockery. But it does not stand
alone. 1t is part of a year. Yet it is
peculiar part. 1t is that brief period
In which the child rules the world.
1t marks nowadays the elimination
Of civilization which has had lead
ing principle. The selfish, the hard,
the grasping and the unsparing are
out and apart that one week from the
great flowing tide Of the development
Of the worlds progress The man or
woman who does not know this or see
it or feel it is alien to the Christian
spirit and to all the products wrought
by the Christ spirit in the twenty CEN
turtles last past.
Christmas day, then, brings mes
sage. But it also sings song of hope
and calls aloud prophecy. The mes
sage Is that gentleness is stronger far
than force and that the greatest pow
err on earth is the compelling power Of
tenderness.
Every Christmas tree is lit with that
light. The great flood of presents bears
this as it's message. The cheer and
charity of the whole season are fed
by this love.
If the result of this process is only
a century flower, however. or one that
blooms even only once year, then Of
what use is this more than that,
this grotesque fact than that stranger
plant? 1t is curious phenomenon
only, dollhouse spectacle and not an
abiding food product DR.. David

The Artists Inspiration

1t is not remarkable that the Nativi-
ty, the alteration Of the Magi and the
annunciation to the shepherds, the d.
vine events of Christmastide, should
have inspired painters and sculptors
for centuries. The birth of Christ and
the incidents attending his infancy
were. naturally enough, the themes Of
Christian song long before they were
the subjects of Christian art, but from
the thirteenth century on they found
reverent representation at the hands
Of those artists who, inspired by the
religious spirit of the middle ages
turned to Biblical subjects for the no
blest examples Of their art. Symonds
says: 1.-THE stable of Bethlehem, the
star led kings, the shepherds and the
angels-all Of the beautiful story, in
fact, which st. Luke alone Of the evan
gelists has preserved for us-are what
the whole Christian world owes to the
religious feelings of the Hebrews. The

an alarmist unnecessarily. "Cumber-

leave the country. That part of the
British Consular archives which Cum
berbatch did not destroy before leav-

protection of the United States Con-

proved of very little value. The Unit

the archives. but as soon as the Turk

give them up, they daily became bold

known that among the French papers

proved political sympathies so strong
that the Turkish government termed
them high treason. There had been
as great panic among Syrians with
British sympathies. but none of them
was touched.
The arrests were followed by trials
