MERCHUL REST FRIENDS
AWAIT SANTA KLAUS

A woman in Milford-blind. help
less and without natural caretakers---
has applied to the Home Of Merciful
Rest for admittance, and because OF
lack OF room and need for additional
income the management cannot take
her in. It is in order 10 avoid just
such pathetic cases as this that the
fund OF $4,000 endowment was start
ed, so that there might be a sufficient
income for the homes support.
There are now sixteen patients
there, helpless and without either
relatives or friends able to take care
Of them. There has also been two ap-
plications made by incurables in
brooklyn, n. y, who heard OF the ex-
cellent care of the Mericful Rest
Home and its pleasant surroundings,
and these had, of course, TO be re-
iected, because whenever there is
room Tor more patients they are taken
from Delaware. In all there has been
en- applicants for admission during
he last fortnight. 80,
when 20 9th : persons shall have given

to make 20. i. is hoped that they will
soon be forthcoming SO that the friend

they be large or small, and l. seems

CHRISTMAS
ALEX L. HARRINGTON.

The greatest festival is near!
The music of the waves Of cheer,
That onward sweep, with cleaning crests
Through countless happy human breasts.r
In Just few brief days will be
A universal symphony
The whirl Of industry will cease
In honor Of the Prince Of Peace.
In retrospect our thoughts 90 through
The long. dim, winding avenue
OF vanished years. 10 that bright morn,
On which in Bethlehem was born
The babe that grew and taught plain men,
Without the aid Of sworn and pen,
The meaning Of precious word,
In ways no one had ever heard.
That word Is love- The brotherhood
OF man by few was understood,
When crowds in Palestine were seen
Around this lowly Nazarene.
AS gravity holds by its force
The shining planets in their course,
So love. he taught could reach and bind
In harmony all human kind.
His life shows that by love He meant
The active love in service spent;
Those sympathetic souls who know
The traveller to Jericho:
Whose feet arc swift to bring relief
To those in sickness. want or grief.
These have the love exemplihed
BY Him wo praise in Christmas-tidc
In spite OF voc and want and war.
Still shines for man the guiding Star
That rose in Galilee to show
The cropping race the way to 90
To gain the heights Of happiness
And peace and hope and all that bless
Heroic hearts that find delight
In doing every day the right.
The stream of charity is vast,
Compared with that in ages past;
A thousand tributaries feed
This stream to meet each pressing need
Of those whom Nature seems TO slight
OF victims Of misfortune's blight,
Of orphans left when millions give
Their lives that Netherlands may live.
True happiness we all may know
BY striving to make others so.
May every heart throughout the year.
Reflect and radiate the cheer
That makes the world so fair and bright
And living such a keen delight,
At Christmas-time, when all reveal
The finest that they think and feel.
Let Christmas be the children's day
To feast and revel, romp and playi
Let scattered families return
And sacred flames OF kinship burn
That every home, with loves clear light,
May be agleam on Christmas night
And fragrant memories may bloom
To mingle their divine perfume

1t is difficult in this day of gorgeous
and colorful fabrics, for the evening
gown TO keep within just the right linn
it of display. But in spite of all its
gold and silver cloth and rich brocade
it may practice reserve that adds to
its distinction. Much glitter and CLEAN
and riotous color, and many vagaries
of style, are more than permissible
they are sought for, and it is left to
the individual taste to choose from
among them.
The lovely frock pictured here Is in
light gray silk brocaded with silver
and made with establishment of sill
ver-run lace. There is something
quaint and quakerish that is very en-
gaging in the design, and no one will
grow tired of the refined lnterpreta-
ton of the mode in evening gowns. 1t
is a slim model, with its plain style
perfectly suited to its color and NATE
rial. Wider skirts with puffy drapsries

HEAVY FEED CAUSES SCOURS
Common and Very Effective Remedy is
Dose Of Castor OLDEST to Feed
Calf Twice Each Day.

CBy w. L. FOWLER, Department of AMI
NAL Husbandry. Oklahoma A. and M
College, Stillwater)
The change of climate and milk
should not cause calf to scour, I'M
less too much milk of poor quality Is
given to the calf en- route or after IT
arrives. Scours are generally caused
by heavy feeding or by the use OF cold
or sour milk fed out of unclean
buckets. In case the calf scours,
would cut its amount of milk to about
one-half and give a dose of castor Oil,
or mixture of salol and bismuth sub
nitrate. The latter is common rem
edy and is very effective.
The best practice is to feed the calf
twice day. If you are milking your
cows three times day, the calf can be
fed as often. Good results are had by
feeding the calf warm sweet milk i'm
mediately after the cows are MIXED.
If the calf is of the Jersey or Guernsey
breed, eight to ten pounds of milk a
day for the first few weeks will be
enough. If you have no way of weigh
ing the milk, it would be good idea to
feed just little more than half a gal
Ion of milk twice day.

are not so new but they are equally
good style.
The skirt is laid in small. single box
plaits about the waistline, AMI the side
bodies in the bodice appear to be cut
in one with 1t. A narrow band of the
brocade Is extended over the Shout
ders. The bodice is merely a wide
girdle at the front, with two narrow
bands of brocade across the bust. Silk
lace over silver tissue is introduced
with buttons like those on the girdle.
1t has plain back.
As in many others among the latest
evening frocks the bodice has elbow
sleeves with smart, square, turnback
cuffs. The brocade is cut away at the
top of the sleeves and the space filled
in with lace. To add a required depth
of color q sash Of black velvet ribbon
is an accessory that is worn in the
simplest manner. Silver slippers and
gray silk stockings complete a lovely
costume which will be becoming to ev-
eryone.

KEEP YOUNG CALVES THRIFTY
Ration Consisting of Cracked Corn,
Whole Oats, Bran and Oil Is
Considered Excellent.

A very excellent ration for keeping
young calves in good, thrifty, health
full growing condition is one con-
sisting of equal parts cracked corn,
whole oats, bran and oil meal. This
fed regularly and literally in conjunc-
ton with clover hay will make them
thrive well. The cracked corn fur
nishes carbohydrates in sufficient pro-
portion to keep the calves in excellent
flesh and it furnishs heat for warming
their bodies in cold weather. Whole
oats are very excellent for imparting
bone and muscle-growing material;
also stamina in young calves. Cracked
or shelled corn and whole oats will be
digested just as readily and efficiently
by calves under one year as will these
grains when ground, and calves seem
to prefer them unground.

The choice lies now between white
or black Grape for those who are called
upon to observe period of mourning.
1t is the material and not the color
which has significance. Custom has
made Grape the insignia of mourning; ;
this makes IL possible to wear white
instead Of black, and removes the OBJ
lection of sombreness. But Grape hats
are worn for shorter periods than
those of mourning silk, which usually
follow them. 1t is admissible TO wear
silk during the whole period which is
to be observed.
In the picture given here three hats
in this particular kind Of millinery are
shown. One OF them Is Of white Grape
made on sailor shapefof medium size.
The frame is smoothly covered and
the effect of double brim Is given by
a shaped piece of Grape with corded
edge overlaid on the upper brim. The
hat has soft crown and Is trimmed
with roses and leaves made Of the
Grape. Wells of white net edged with
narrow borders of Grape are made for
wear with hats or wntte Grape, anu
they are also In white.
An elegant small turban of black
Grape is pictured, worn with a scarf
like cape d match and semlcircular.
The veil Is Of fine Brussels net boz
dered with Grape. Grenadine or silk
NAV be used for the cape. The collar
and border are plain folds of Grape.
A turban of black silk, in a weave
made especially for mourning wear Is
very modish with its veil of fancy net
bordered with chiffon. The veil is an

Touch of Fur.

Everywhere one finds the touch of
fur-or the lavish use of fur-and
great cleverness has been shown I'm the
handling of these fur trimmings, the
ordinary bordering bands being less
IN evidence than odd little girdle ar
rangements of fur, fur collars, etc. OF
course, the bordering bands are popu-
lar, too, and very wide bands appear
on the bottoms Of skirts or tunics in
afternoon and street models; but these
trimmings, though they are effective
and handsome, are vieux jeu, and some
of the less striking but more original
fur motifs are more interesting.

REGULARITY IS GOOD HABIT

put Is Much Less.

In all things regularity Is a good
practice, but in milking 1t Is impera-
tive. AS a rule, the COW is MIXED at
about FIVE o'clock of mornings in sum-
mer and at seven or eight o'clock In
the morning in winter. The evening
milking is done very late in summer
and very early In winter. The unequal
periods are made for the cow by this
sun-to-sun milking, and as conse-
quence the quality of her milk and the
quantity of the same, as well as the
length of her annual period Of milk
giving, are reduced.
