How to AdOrn the Church for
Christmas.

Church decoration should be started
at least a week before Christmas. Bet
ter be early and do the work delib-
erately rather than leave ii and rush
and slight the undertaking at the last
moment.
Have decorations light and use color
sufficient to make them cheerful Work
in plenty of red and white.
Everlasting flowers are good for the
purpose. Bunches of immortelies can
be broken up. wired into small bunches
and used in various ways These can
be had in white, red. yellow and other
colors
Work color into the garlands at
proper intervals to relieve the somber
effect of the heavy dark green wreath
ing. Pampas plumes are excellent
where they can be used away from gas
lights or danger of fire.
Holly branches are most useful ana
appropriate Laurel lockwood, wlld
smilax, branches of evergreen trees ana
tissue paper wreaths, bells and gar
lands all work in together effectively
where little taste and judgment are
used in the arrangement.
Buy material without delay, as deal
ers usually sell out completely before
Christmas.
Letters for notices can he cut from
gold, silver or colored paper or sheet
wadding.
For covering mantels in he home
evergreen boughs, wild smilax and holy
are generally used; also for stair rail-
ings. Ground pine garlands are used
for festooning around the walls ana
ceiling, over doors, stair rails, etc.
outside decorations may consist OF
garlands over the front door, wreaths
ON the door and on the gateposts at
the entrance to the yard.
In plants the Norfolk island pine
araucaria. palms, large ferns. aspidis-
ira. bay and box plants in tub are use
fuI where they can be had. Churches
oftentimes' are able to borrow some OF
these from members. Where thls Is
done arrangements should be mace 10
keep the building sufficiently warm an
the time plants are in the church
to prevent damage. Plants Wen wrap
ned in paper will carry quite distance
without injury in very cold weather;

GOODS; Wins VOTES
Story Going the Rounds Sheds
. Light on How Mayor-EIect
Defeated Rival

A story is going the rounds
which probably has a bearing on
how j. J. Fern came to be elected
mayor and defeat his rival OF
many races, John c. Lane.
The Saturday before election
Fern visited the fish market
where his brother runs fish and
poi stand. Hawaiians were out
in force buying supplies for their
Sunday dinner. Fern took one
look and then whispered to his
brother TO beat r." He then took
off HIS coat, collar and hat and
was ready for business.
s. Right this way ladies and gen.
tlemen," sane out Fern. I'VE
have here the finest poi and fish
In the market" And the Ha-
waiians responded to the echo
until the space in front Of the
stand was damned with good
natured, laughing throng.
But In the background Ferns
brother CRASHED his teeth for the
nlayor.to-be was MT selling but
giving away his relatives stock in
trade. II some Of his customers
took It, but mostly he graciously
waved them away and In all
waived them away and in all
cases gave them double their
moneys worth. .tatz,.-

FORTY YEARS. SUCCESS

For business to be successful for
forty years means a great deal. Among
other things, it means remarkable ex-
cellence in the products It sells. No
inferior article can be sold on a large
scale for so many years; and it must
not only be good at the outset, but so
good that the progress of forty years
shall not develop any better article
to supercede it.
So women can, with confidence, de-
pend upon that old, tried and tested
remedy for woman's ailments, Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound,
still as popular as ever, though it was
placed on the market before the cen
tennial wear. 1S76,-Ady.

set aside, and from the way the ac-
counts are presented there is room for
a diversity of opinion even as to the
amount of none which the govern
n.ent will get in the form of the various
taxes to which war prosperity is sub
jected. One estimate puts the amount
Of extra taxes which the five compan-
les will have to pay at so, 900. 900. Some
experts believe his sum as well below
the mark. Two of the companies show
their profits after deducting undis-
closed amounts for depreciation and
so FORTH
The Leyland line does not mention
the amount OF profit earned; it merely
says: After provision for all X
ton, depreciation and contingent Ii
abilities and the payment of deferred
dividends, the directors propose a final
dividend which will bring the average
rate mentioned in last years report to
I IL per ent. This is a roundabout
way of stating that a dividend of SO
per cent has been paid to the holders
of the ordinary shares, seeing that for
Is years there was no dividend and
"a 10 per cent. was paid last year,
thus requiring So per cent to make an
average of : IL per cent over the fif-
teen years.
The White Star Lin has handed out
a stock bonus Of 400 per cent, and is
paying a dividend of 90 per cent, equiv
alent to 100 per cent on The old capt.
alization.
The Cunard line pays its customary
20 per cent dividend on a considerably
large capitalization, while its allow
fnce for depreciation is almost three
times the corresponding figures of re-
cent years.
The Leyland lines balance sheet
shows q new General Purposes" fund
of 81, 900, end a Renewals and Re-
PAIRS fund of nearly s2s5oo,001 It also
shows the big cash and LIQUID re-
sources which is a characteristic fca-
| ture of shipping companies accounts
since the war. Thus. the corpany's
cash on December 81 was S4,5'N 900.
while its investments. including War
Loan, totallcd $4,000. r00, or nearly 60
per cent of its total assets.
