A CHRISTMAS PRAYER
BY REV. RALPH CURTIS JONES.

6H hGN. nAGTTI WIN 10 SSNGSs
a,1ESS< UR Father. we are CRATE
ESMtNA full to thee on this
~ N&M Christmas day for all
&3&fZ the good things in life.
%3%E& thankful for the lowly
1S birth In Bethlehem, for
= all Of which we COM
memOrate this day. May all Christen-
dom unite In mighty force to stop
this ungodly European conflict, and
say as the heavenly host sang, peace
on earth, good win toward men," for
we are sad indeed, at the thought Of
thy children who today are killing
each other in the terrible war that is
being waged. In pity forgive them.
Oh. Heavenly Father, bring them and
their rulers to a full realization of
the sinfulness Of war-that those who
have caused 1t may cry to thee for
peace. May they get glimpse Of the
cross In its full meaning, and profit
by the sacrifice made by thy Son for
the worlds redemption.
Our Father, may the world become
Christianized from all other religions
and philosophers, not merely In name,
but in the spirit Of true Christian
brotherhood. oh Lord, let us all who
fail to appreciate this great gift which
thou gavest to the world be so con-
science-stricken that they will at once
cease from their ingratitude, and ir-
reverence and depart from the error
of their ways. May they become adj
vocates Of the Loving Master. who, as
the perfect man, said to all mankind,
Except ye be converted and become
as little children, we shall not enter
the kingdom OF heaven"
Dear Father, we rejoice with thee
for the hearts that Christmas will

A lemonade and water server are
among the pretty and easily made
gifts that every woman viii like to
receive.
At the top of the picture above, an
attractive lemonade server is made
of an ordinary set of tin muffin rings,
to which the tinsmith has added han
die.
The server is painted with white or
blue or other colored paint and al
lowed to dry. Flowers or leaves cut
from printed paper napkins are then
glued to IL at each corner, at the sides
and along the center Finally coat
OF shellac is brushed all over the
server. When this dries the server Is
ready for set Of thin glasses.
A small basket makes the water
server, which carries water bottle
with a glass turned over It's neck. The
basket is first painted white and al
lowed to dry. Then 1t is decorated
with a festoOn Of roses and leaves
made of white sealing wax and tinted
with paints-the roses pink and the
foliage green. Finally the basket 10
vanished with shellac.

Every bedroom needs some sort or
receptacle to hold anything that Is to
be disposed of temporarily. Here are
two bags conveniently open, inviting
to an orderly disposition Of small ar
ticles. Either of them Will serve the
purpose Of a waste basket and one OF
them--the bag at the bottom Of the
picture-is designed especially for
mans room. They are both very easy
to make.
At the top, a bag, which may be
Of silk or cretonne, is made by gath
erlng a square of the goods along the
hem. A brass ring is sewed to the
bag (formed by the gathering) at each
corner. This bag is supported by
standard made of four rods of wood
fastened by screws to a small circu-
lar block of wood. The screws make
the rods movable, so that the bag may
be folded up and made to occupy
small space when not in use.
: The bag at the bottom Of the pic
ture is also made Of a square. 1t Is
OF printed japanese cotton, lined with
plain silkalene. When the two materi-
ais have been sewed together the four
points Of the square are turned over
the smaller of two oval embroidery
hoops and the second hoop Is placed
over 1t. A japanese tassel, on silk
cord, is placed ut each side. The
cords, caught between the hoops, form
the hangers by which the bag Is sus-
pended from a hook or from any con-
venient support. japanese prints come
in designs of strong, bold colorings.
and are artistic and attractive.

ROOSEVELT FOR 'T.R.'
 IN COMING BATTLE
Expected to Announce Candidacy
 Before Convention in Chicago

Oyster Bay, l.. l., April 3-The different conclusions arrived at for publication by political leaders in various parts of the country after hearing of the Roosevelt -Root-Lodge reconciliation luncheon at the home of Robert Bacon in New York on Friday were read with the greatest interest here yesterday. To c1arify the situation these statements may be made:
 1. Colonel Roosevelt has not en- tered into any agreement with Root and Lodge and does not at this time contemplate entering any agreement which would bind him to aid in a movement to advance the efforts of some republican leaders to nominate Supreme Court Justice Charles Evans Hughes as the republican standard bearer.
 2. Ex-Senator Elihu Root did not seek the support of Colonel Roosevelt in an effort to obtain the nomination for himself, (Root) and, in fact, has, according to a thoroughly reliable source, made it known definitely that he is not seriously in the race for the nomination.
 5. Colonel Roosevelt, if convinced that the country was reused to the frame of mind he has termed "heroic," would consider it his duty to accept nomination at the re- publican convention, and, with the progressive party behind him, seek to overthrow the Wilson administration which he, as we'll as Root and Lodge, has charged with the responsibility of placing this country in an ignoble position in it's relation with other na- tions.
 1. Colonel Roosevelt, as well as some of the republican leaders who are ready to support him, it is said, is now convinced that MT. Hughes is not the man to unite the republi- can and progressive parties and con- duct the campaign for these parties against Wilson on the lines outlined by MT. Root in his belicose, Roose- veltian address before the republican state convention in New York, an address which was generally accepted at the time as the keynote of the republican campaign.
 5. number of the republican leaders, including Root and Lodge, it is reported, have decided that the best interests of the contry demand that there shall be no more delay in making the appeal to the patriotic instincts of the people, and have come to the conclusion that Mr.. Hughes
