The trouble with most of us in the cit
les is that we are like dollhouse plants
that can't stand a breath of cold air,
instead of being hardy plants which
can stay out in cold weather. Its all
a matter of habit. AT home we get in
the habit of being where it is hot all
the time and don't like the cold, pure,
fresh air; here on Mt. Kipp we get in
the habit of being in the fresh air all
the time, and a hot, closed room
makes us uncomfortable. Get the hab-

among monkeys in the jungle life, but

of us had been "big monkeys" for liv-

we are temporarily captives of illness.

SACRED MIsTLEToE.

The druids with ceremonies of great
solemnity used to collect mistletoe with
golden sickle against the festival of
winter solstice." Only the oaks bear
Ing mistletoe were sacred to this an
cient order Of men.
It is recorded that the peoples rev.
erence for the priests proceeded In
great measure from the cures which
the priests effected by means Of this
curious green plant of the pear-like
berries. It was collected thus cere-
moniously by the druids because it was
supposed to drive away evil spirits.
The reason among the druids for
bringing in bits of evergreen from the
woods and adorning the house is
most charming and lovable one: "The

Forerunner Of Christmas.

The spirit of merrymaking that
marks our Christmas holidays had its
origin with the Roman feast called
the Saturnalia. This was festival in
honor of Saturn, father Of the gods.
It lasted for, week or two. beginning
about the 10Th of December, and was
the. occasion for great revelry among
all classes No business was transact
ed during this period, war was sus-
pended, private feuds were forgotten
or forgiven, and general good fellow
ship reigned supreme. Friends ex-
changed presents with one another.
and the slaves were waited upon by
their masters and mistresses.

WASHINGTON. October 22.--The In
terstate Commerce Commission to-
hisht responded to the plea Of Eastern
railroads for financial relief by reopen
ing the 10 per cent advance case, 50 far
as these carriers are concerned. The
first hearing was set for November S
here.
In so doing. the commission acted
practically on its own iaitiativc, dis
missing as "in error" Il suggestion
made by the carriers a. the conference
here last week to the effect that the IS
per cent case be Continued for :; least
sixty days"
The 10 per cent case is still open
and before the commission" the com
mission advised George Stuart Pattcr-
son. counsel for the Eastern roads eff
your suggestion is we'll grounded that
further financial relief is needed by
the carriers, it Is obvious that such re-
.et should be had promptly in ordc,

the opinion" the letter states further
on. that the evidence necessary 10

scented without delay. in order that the
carriers may be maintained in posi-

PROCEDURE TOO SPEEDY
FOR SOME OF ROADS
Tho railroads had asked at the con-
ference that method of procedure be
adopted under which they might OBJ
tam speedily advances upon certain
commodities upon which they were re-
FUSED advances by the commission last
June. The commissions RESPONSE not
only provides speedy procedure. under
which the railroads may present data
looking to raise in rates on these nro-
ducts-too speedy to sui, some of the
railroads. 1t is understanding opens
the doors to the admission OF testimony
looking to general advance in all
rates east OF the Mississippi and north
of the Ohio Rivers
IL Is regarded as probable that the
southern and Western carriers. part,c-
uiarly the latter. already showing re-
auctions in net earnings, will join in
the request for an advance.
Between the rcopening Of tho case
and the granting of higher rates how
ever, II was pointed on; tonight there
IS wide distinction. Under the present
ruling, the Eastern roads will have TO

rates before the proposed increases will
