SANTA CLAUS
 AT FRONT IN
 US. AIRPLANE
Bridgeport, Conn.
 Wednesday, Dec, 26.

With the American Army in France. Tuesday. Dec. 25.-(By The Associated Press) )-The American expeditionary force in France celebrated Christmas in a hoWling snow storm which rolled in from the mountains in the early hours, continued all day and showed no sign of abating tonight, Despite the difficulties due to the storm, few features of any program were ean- ceiled, fer most of the festivities were held indoors,
 Even the celebration at the quarters of the American air squadron was carried cut, although a binding snow s~ifled into the hangar where a tree had been erected for the children of a nearby village There, Santa Claus sweoped de#n frem clouds dripping white and with a pack on his back stepped from an aeroplane. fIis gog- g1es, cap, red suit and sack were dusted heavily with sne~ flakes, much te the delight of about 168 small chil- drea who huddled within the shelter of the haAgar
 1t is doubtful that children any, where had ever seen such a sight be- fore. When the youngsters had gath cred at the hangar Santa Claus, who
 was an American corporal, got into big machine at g. nearby hangar. He flew off and 15 minutes later there was a wl1irr of engines over the chil- dren,s heads and an aeroplane dropped to the snow covered field before them. The children had been told that Santa had ,abandonel his old sleigh for an aeropdane, but they did not believe it until they saw him come down from the skies.
 In all the units entertaining chill dren each small guest received the
 present he most desired; There were at least a score of large community trees and many smaller ones in the zone where the presents were distrib- uted.
 Efforts were made bo carry out the program of football games, but some of these had to be cancelled when the snow became too heavy. While Christ mas dinner did not approach that of Thanksgiving because of lack Qf tsir- keys and trimmings, the army man aged to enioE itself chaerfuIly.

MOTHER! LOOK AT

If cross, feverish, constipated, give California Syrup
 of Fiqs."

A laxative today saves a sick child tomorrow. Children simply will not take the time from play to empty their bowels, which become clogged up with waste, liver gets sluggish; stomach sour.
 Look at the tongue, mother If coat ed, or your child is listless, cross, few erish, breath bad, restless, doesn't eat heartily, full of cold or has sore throat or any other children's ailment, give a teaspoonful of California Syrup of Figs" then don't worry, because 1t is perfectly harmless, and in few hours all this constipation poison, sour bile and fermenting waste will gently move out of the bowels, and you have a well, playful child again. A thor ough inside cleansing is ofttimes all that is necessary. It should be the first treatment given In any sickness.
 Beware of counterfeit fig syrups. Ask at the store for q 50-cent bottle of California Syrup of Figs" which has full directions for babies, children of all ages and for grown-ups plainly printed on the bottle. Adv.

D0NT'S' FOR HOME BUILDERS
Serious Thought Should Be Given to Things That Should Be Omitted
 From New Building.

If you are intending to build home, as doubtless you are, don't in planning devote all your energies to the things you need in the building, but rather give serious thought to the things that can we'll be omitted, thereby saving you expense and future trouble and annoyance. Some of these are briefly outlined in the following "don'ts:"
 Don't, when planning the home, for get that there is just one best layout for the house on any plot, and that lay out can be determined only through long, patient and careful study of all the surrounding conditions.
 Don't forget that the unslghtly radi- ator may be successfully concealed by grilles. There are to be had special grille designs, suited to the various orders of decoration.
 Don't, when laying out the lighting system of the new house, fail to plan for adequate switch control. This Is one of the most important features in the well-equipped modern home.
 Don't, If you wish to give an air of spaciousness to the rooms, fail to eliminate all unnecessary details.
 Don't plan your new home without taking into consideration the possl- bilities of the grounds. In these days of out-of-door living, the garden, the pergola, the sun-room, the arbor and the tea-room are all really extensions of the house itself.
