NOTE OF HOPE AND HAPPINESS
Celebration Of Saviour's Birth Com.
mands Attention Of All Nations
Regardless of Ravages Of War.

On the great feast of the Nativity,
Christmas, as it is popularity known.
there is always a note of hope and
cheer, even when many lands are
drenched in blood. It was 1917 years
ago that Christ was born. but the mes.
sage he brought is as fresh and CON-
polling as it was in the years long ago.
Over the little town of Bethlehem the
heavenly choir sang "Gloria in Elk.
celsis Deo'-"Glory be to God on high,
and on earth peace to men of good
WILL" or, as some rendcrings of the
Latin text have it, 'and on earth peace
and good vii: towards men," That
blessed pr =. -.ation will 60 sounding
down the Centuries to come until time
shall be no more.
Processing Christmas welcome today
as one Of peculiar joy and gladness.
The liturgical churches celebrate 1t
with impressive services but all God
fearing people, whether they be con-
nected with the Christian body or that,
can but find thrill and a lifting up
of the soul in meditating upon the
birth Of Jesus and the mighty work
the redeemer came to accomplish.
Christmas comes to us with it's hal.
lowed greeting and with an inspira-
ton for higher purposes and true
Christian charity. May this be truly

THE VIRTUES OF SUGAR.

Parents are still found who deny
their children candy and even desert
at dinner, or preserves" at other
meals, under the impression that
sugar should be largely avoided as
harmful palate-tickler in which
there is no wholesome food. Science
has long told a different story, but it
is not yet generally known. 1t is in
teresting to find that the great war
in Europe is bringing to light more
facts attesting the virtues of sugar.
The value of candy is said to be
recognized by England's military au-
thorities, and the British soldiers in
France are reported as consuming
"prodigious quantities of sweets"
According to the Westminster Ga
zette the British army canteen has
five times the demand for sweets
that was expected and one-ffth the
demand for beer. The same authority
notes that the Australians encamped
in Egypt have eaten all the chocolate
in Cairo, and adds: scientists con-
tend that sugar has much food value
and is substitute for alcohol.
Chocolate, for example, is harmlessly
stimulating. Soldiers have discovered
what scientists knew before, that
sugar will relieve fatigue quickly and
give sense of strength that is real
without the subsequent depression
experienced by those who use spirits.
Sugar and candies are found to be
useful not only to the physically tir-
ed, but to those who suffer mental eX-
haustion."
Plainly the craving for sugar in it's
various forms is as normal as the de-
sire for any other food, and to sat
isfy it within reason not only in
wolves no risk, but is an aid toward
good digestion and good health,

MINUTENESS OF DEATH-DEALING
TUBERCULOSIS GERM.

The most common method of infec-
ton by tuberculosis germs is by dust
from dried sputum of those who have
the disease, which floats in the air
and is breathed into the lungs,
though there are other means of in
lection, such as by milk from tuber-
culosis cows and meat from animals
who may be infected with the germs
The Importance, therefore, of destroy
ing all sputum by burning is thus
seen to be imperative. Cups and
other receptacles have been made for
the purpose, which are cheap and cas-
lily obtainable.
Writing of the germs an author
ity on the treatment of the disease
says that they are so small that a
thousand could go through a hole in
paper made with pin point with
out touching themselves or the sides
of the hole, so it can be imagined
how many could find Judgment on
even small particle of dust flying
through the air. No one can tell
when they may be breathed into his
lungs to begin the work of destruc-
ton of which they are so capable,
unless precautionary means are en-
ployed. 1t therefore, behooves all of
us to use the free blessings of fresh
air and sunshine, which are enemies
to tuberculosis. germs, while making
the body strong and resistant. A
number of pamphlets have been pre-
pared under the direction of the State
tuberculosis Commissioners, treating
upon every phase of the prevention
and cure of the disease, which the
Secretary, DR.. w. L. Heller, will send
| on application to him at Frankfort.

LOVE linked WITH DEATH.
In Tueopia Girls Propose Marriage and
Must Die If Rejected.

In Tueopia Girls Propose Marriage and
Must Die If Rejected.
In the Pacific ocean between Fiji,
New Guinea, New Caledonia and the
continent of Australia lies the Melane-
sian group of islands, where head hunt
ers and cannibals abound Although
strange and grewsome are many of the
customs of the tribes, there are some
that are most romantic For instance,
on the island of Tucopia the women
propose marriage instead of the men.
When a girl Of Tucopia sees a man
whom she thinks she would like to
have for her husband she does not rush
up to him and ask him to marry her.
On the contrary, she gives the subject
deep thought and often the man most
careful investigation before she "pops
the question" The reason is that his
answer spells life or death to her.
1t is a tribal law that any woman
who has been refused must forthwith
kill herself. Therefore a woman asks
a mans hand only when she feels sure
that his answer will be the happy one.
Many are the strange and seemingly
inexplicable questions with which the
women Of Tucopia ply the stranger.
who cannot realize the personal mo-
tive back of the solicitude Of the dusky
bellies who inquire If he is married or
not and the state of his wife's health.
ROmances are consequently very apt
to turn out in happy marriage.
But there have been innumerabIe in
stances when a poor girl, smitten by
the newcomers charms, has been COM
PEELED to kill herself because the man
with whom she has fallen in love has
had to refuse to marry her.
Badness with the women of Tucopia
Is sign of beauty, and never until she
is bald does TucOpia woman become
fully convinced that she is really love-
~. But bald or not she takes great
care whom she asks to marry her, for
the tribal law has never been known
to fail. If a rejected woman does not
kill herself she is executed by the lead
ers of the tribe.-PearsOn's

RED MONDAY IN PETROGRAD.
One Scene of the Revolt That Ended
the Rcmanoff Dynasty

the Romanoff Dynasty.
Bullets flew in the streets Of Petro-
grad one Monday during the revolution
which overthrow the Romanoffs. A
British nurse, telling Londoners of her
experiences in the Russian capital on
Red Monday" says of one scene:
81 saw in the streets a wonderful
procession Of revOlutiOniSts, the van
guard of the brave liberatOrs of Rus
STA. The soldier patriots in their gray
coats, on foot and in mOtorcars, were
going down the street i'm a steady, Or
derby manner, protecting a crowd of
starving men, women and children who
were walking in the center Of the pro-
ceSsiOn. At their head was a band
playing the 'Marseillaise' and large
red flag borne aloft.
LAS the procession neared the Hotel
Moscow, where the Nevsky begins,
there was sudden outburst Of fierce
firing from above, and the soldiers and
women and children fell to the ground
and the street soon became a sham
bles. The firing was from machine
guns controlled by the police, who were
In ambush on the roof of the hotel and
who tried to bring about a wholesale
slaughter of the people.
1T was astonishing how self possess
ed the crowd was in the face of this
murderous attack. l saw the soldiers
who had not fallen Immediately enter
the hotel and make their way to the
roof, where they shot the cowardly po-
lice, captured the machine guns and
brought them down to the street."

THE EARLY WORM.

There was only one man at the
boarding house and there wasn't
much of him. But the girls all made
a fuss over him, for, after all, he
was a man, asserts the Philadelphia
Record. One evening they had a
dance, and our hero engaged himself
to Miss A. for No. 1. Miss A. didn't
turn up, so he condescendingly sug-
gested that Miss B. might take it on
Just as they commenced to dance
Miss A. entered the room, and her
eyes glittered angrily. "Pm afraid
you're late, dearest" said Miss B
with the air of a victor. But Miss
A. tossed her head. Eyes, DEAR" she
replied, another case of the early
bird catching the worm"

Lending Money.

"And now, my son." said the old
man, 81 must give you bit Of parting
advice"
Eyes, dad" answered the young
man patiently.
"Never lend money to a friend"
"What, neverT
'No, never"
But why? Surely some friends are
honest?
Undoubtedly. But if you lend
money and try to get it back you will
be called a tightwad, and if you lend
money and don't try to get it back you
will be called an easy mark. "-Cleve-
land Plain Dealer.

Bullock Skin Boats.

There are few more primitive meth
DDS of transportation than those in use
today by natives of northern India who
make their homes in the vicinity Of the
swift flowing Sutlej. The boats of
these aborigines are nothing more OF
less than bullock skins inflated by the
breath OF the natives themselves. Two
natives may be seen hard at work fill
ing the skins with air. Having inflated
them to their satisfaction. they will
leap overheard and paddle themselves
across the river, great skill and strength
being necessary to sustain their equi
librium during the passage. But even
should the boats overture they are
easily righted, and the natives are
without exception expert swimmers.

Stepniak as Prophet.

A correspondent of the Manchester
Guardian in England records an inter
esting statement made by Stepniak,
the great Russian revolutionary, which
is worth quoting. When he first met
Stepniak, in 1889, the writer says, he
asked what real prospect there was of
any revolution in Russia. The reply
was: "a great European war will be
our chance. 1t will show the bureau
cracy to be quite incapable Of manag-
ing the affairs of the nation In a cri-

are applied to any corn or callous
the soreness is relieved and soon the
entire corn or callous, root and all,
lifts off with the fingers.
Freezone dries the moment it is
applied, and simply shrivels the corn
or callous without infiaming or even
irritating the surrounding tissue or
skin. A small bottle of Freezone will
cost very little at any of the drug
stores, but will positively rid ones
feet of every hard of soft corn or
hardened callous. If your druggist
hasn't any Freezone he can get it at
any wholesale drug house for you.

About Fishes,

Fish are nearly the same weight AZ
the water in which they live, so that
they can move in it with great ease.
The majority of them also have an air
bladder inside of the body, which en-
ables them to go up or down In the
water at will. When a fish desires to
90 down deep it can press the air out
Of this bladder by means Of certain
muscles and thus increase the weight

again It takes off the pressure, the

OYSTER INDUSTRY IN THIS
STATE BE TO DEVELOPED

Atlanta, Ga, July 28.-Georgia has
implanted oyster beds as fine as those
on Chesapeak Bay or Mobile Bay or
anywhere else, according to officials
of the department of game and fish
who have made an investigation of the
subject, and the senate has passed a
bill providing for the development OF
the industry along the coast.
The bill lays out plan for leasing
beds, for protecting the lessees from
oyster thieves and poachers, and for
levying tax or license on those en-
gagged in the oyster and shrimp indus
try. 1t is believed that in few years
after the beds have been leased and
planted there will be an income of
100000 year to the state from IL
censes, and the Georgia oyster will
have become as famous as the Bl,
Point or the Mobile Select.
In addition to oysters, the bill pro-
vides for the development and pro-
lection of the taking of shrimp and
other crustaceans.
