Ihe publfc were invited 10 az
tend the Christmas service at the
Home on Sunday afternoon-the
2lth. The exercises were held
in'the school room where beau
lifully decorated Christmas Tree
had been provided for the chi.
dren, the candles being lighted
at the close of the service.
In addition to the sermon to
the chiluren by Rev' G. w. Ker.
stetter, Superintendent of the
Home, the exercises consisted of
appropriate songs, choruses and
recitations, rendered by the chill
dren Of The Home and Of the
Sunday School. They were all
we'll rendered. As the children
in the Home come, as rule,
from surroundings that afford
but meagre advantages, If any,
the manner IN which they took
their respective parts bears evil
dence of the efficiency of the
Home in caring for these mount
ain children; and, could those
who sent presents have seen the
joyful anticipation on the face
of each child, they would have
felt rewarded, many fold, for the
| thought and value put into the
gifts.

able as the needs are greater
with the growth of the work.
One important item missing
this year is the car load of coal
necessary for heating the build
ings. One cannot imagine more
worthy gift at this time than II
car of coal.
That the donations sent here
are wisely and carefully applied
is very pleasingly shown by the
air of individuality worked into
each child. That is, the sort Of
individuality that breeds self re-
spect and personal neatness.
There was not a child present
who would be at all out of place
in any christian home. And
there are, doubtless, many homes
that would be. the better off for
having one of such as these to
care for.
The children are given plenty
! TO do; their studies, the care of
themselves and theinthings along
certain lines, regular exercise,
plenty of plain food we'll prepar-
ed: Apparently just what is
needed to strengthen each body
necessary and preparatory TO the
strengthening of the mind.
This is a great work and all
honor is due 10 those who are de,

liberality, sympathy and inter
est, generally.

impoverished nerves destroy many
people before their time. Often be-
fore a sufferer realizes what the
trouble is, he is on the verge Of a
complete nervous breakdown. 1t
is of the utmost importance to keep
your nervous system in good con

of all bodily power. Mrs. Rosa

we have been in the war less than
six months, Uncle Sam has about a
million and "a half soldiers undergoing
intensive training.
Keeping pace with all of this mar
tiai planning. is the relief work. In
fact. around New York this is much
more prominent than the preparation
of soldiers. You can hardly walk a
block on any street of this great city
without some appeal for some sort OF
war relief reaching you. At the docks
mammoth shipments of relief supplies
are going forward. Uncle Sam is rails
ing not only the greatest army in this
nations history, but it is to be the
best-equipped and best-eared for army
