Significance

RAKE Christmas

AXE Christmas a
W. The whole signif-
canoe of Christmas
Is generosity, charity, good
fellowship and consequent
happiness. and we must stand
in NTH this spirit of JOYFUL
ness or admit ourselves as By
no means belonging to the
highest types of humanity. If
we adopt the Irishman's well-
known and philosophical die
tum, that zone mans as goods
another and some a deal sight
betther." then ne rant to be
a IDEAL sight" in most every
thing, and good fellowship
proclaims that loudest and
longest.
So, go in for a good time in
any old frst-class, fne-edged
vay you can get 1t, at home or
abroad, outdoors or in, upstairs
or down, Nth or without the
best means for enjoyment, for
the means can be made; If
you're determined to make 1t,
there IS Arrays a ray. If you
lack dollars, use pennies; #
you lack pennies, use your
wits. There are many other
things that goa haze in album
dance to spend, and you can
spend them By transferring to
others and the general atmos-
phere your optimistic JOYFUL
ness over ,0hat you haze, be it
much or little.

You hear the remark made quite.
often these days that the money de-
mands of the war are becoming so
frequent that it is working hard
ship on the people. Exclusive of
Liberty Bonds the average amount
of war funds contributed by men
and women in this community has
not reached five dollars per capita
since America declared war. Now
if this is working a hardship on the
people of the country, the only
solution at hand is that we must all
get into different frame of mind
and not feel that the war has al
ready become financial burden,
when the real time of sacrifice has
not begun. A large majority of US
could give many times more than
we have given and still feel no dis
tressing inconvenience as a result of
our generosity. 1t is generally
conceded that the complaints are
coming from those who can afford
to give rather than from those, who
have to make sacrifice to give.
The Kendrick gazette. [volume] (Kendrick, Idaho) 1892-1968, 1917-12-21

The only way to prolong these
prosperous times is to keep business
booming by looking forward with
confidence to the future. Save
everything but your money" in
these war times, is pretty good
slogan. The man who retrenches
in his business operations is doing
more to injure his chances and the
chances of others than he could do
by going to the other extreme of
extravaganza. In this rich farming
country there is every indication
that the coming year will be the
biggest year financially that this
section of the country has ever
known. 1t is up to all of US to
keep business in fourishing condi-
tion to meet the big times coming.
There are few dark spots on
the records of the present draft
system in America, such as the
cause for dismissal of the exemp-
ton board in Atlanta, Georgia.
The members were charged with
showing partially in granting ex-
emptions to whites and refusing
exc mptions to cofored residents of
the city. Any part of the govern
ment machinery that plays false,
has no place in America during
these critical times.
Every citizen in this community
over the age of sixteen years, who
does not become a member of the
Red Cross before Christmas, is
Sinking a duty to the nation.
There is only one possible excuse
that is valid and that is that an in
dividual simply hasn't the money to
pay the membership fee of one
dollar. There are few, if any, in
Kendrick who can consistently say
that they can't raise the dollar.
1t seems rather strange that one
should be compelled to solicit ad-
vertising, or to offer arguments for
its use. Consider the case of the
business man who gets up in the
morning from an advertised mat
tress, shaves with an advertised soap
and an advertised razor, takes off
advertised pajamas and puts on ad-
vertised hose, advertised shoes, an
advertised shirt, an advertised COL
lar. advertised necktie, an adver-
tised suit; seats himself at the table
and eats advertised breakfast food,
advertised bacon, drinks advertised
coffee, puts on an advertised hat.
lights an advertised cigar, and
goes to his Office where he turns
down the advertising solicitor of a
newspaper on the ground that ad-
vertising does not pay.-Ex.

organized prior to the adoption of the home guard military law may be ac- cepted and equipped by the state as a part of the home guard. Senator Spencer asked how much the home guard had cost to date and the reply was about s25o,000 and the compan- ies to be taken in under the bill would call for $50,000 more expense.
 The senate bills adopted included that incorporating the Litchfield County Title Mortgage Guarantee Go.
 The senate adopted the house bills laying @ state tax, establishing a re- tiring system for public school teach CTS. increasing the salary of county commissioners in certain counties, providing for elimination of mosquito breeding places; permitting Norwalk to lay out a park; and imposing pun ishment for the giving of checks or drafts when there are no funds in the bank to meet them.

GERMAN TORPEDO l BOAT HARD HIT BY ENGLISH GUNS
Teuton Fleet Took Refuge In Mine Field Off
 Flanders.

Amsterdam, May 11--A German torpedo boat was badly hit in the battle between German and British destroyers early yesterday morning, according to the Flushing correspon- dent of the Telegraaf. The core spondent says that a very hot battle took place near the North Hinder lightship. Great flames were visible and the firing could be heard in Flushing and elsewhere in Zealand.
 The Germans passed North Hinder at great speed about APO o'clock, the British pursuing and both sides fir ing rapidly. One of the German boats was seen to be severely damag- ed. The British followed their quarry until near the mine field off the Flemish coast, the Germans talk ing refuge in Zeebrugge.
 All Thursday night fire signals were sent up from Zeebrugge and the searchlights were flashing continu- ously.

Last week, Deputy Collector of Port, Stephen J, Griffen announced that he had been quietly married a few days p-Iore to Miss Caroline Tauscher of Black Rock and Wednesday night the engagement of William H. Pearson, secretary to Postmaster Charles F. Greene to Miss Ava Whitney, daughter of Mrs. C.

It is Real Economy to Spend Money.

This apparently directly opposite opinion was expressed by MT. Walder of the Caesar Misch Stores in an in terview when he explained that the poorest economy may be the saving of money.
 "A man is judged by his personal appearance,' went on Mir Walder, ''as is the appearance of his fam fly. If in the mistaken idea that every penny must be saved he ne- glects to buy good appearing clothing, he handicaps himself and he handi- caps his family and in many cases even the family income is affected by this lack of putting up a prosper ous appearance for the worlG to see.'
 Cheerful Credit in most cases is the most economical way to spend money. Buying the Cheerful Credit way the bank account is. not depict ed by cash payment and all the ad- vantages of being we'll clothed may be enjoyed while paying for what is purchased.
 At the Caesar Misch Stores all who are in receipt of any income will find that the opening. of Cheerful Credit charge account is very sim pie matter and opens the way to the purchase of values in wearing ap. pareI that appeals to the economical as we'll as to men who use good husinass sense in their buying.

PATRIOTIC MEETING
 IN SECOND BAPTIST
 CHURCH AUDITORIUM

A patriotic meeting held in the Second Baptist church auditorium last night filled the room to over flowing and the Sunday school rooms had to be utilized. Rev. S. Parkes Cadman, D. D., was the principal speaker of the evening and aroused his audience to an enthusiastic pitch when he discussed the momentous question of the day.
 Rev. Frank c. Rideout, pastor of the church in his introductory speech said that the churches of America must play their part in the war and not be behind in performing their functions. He advocated the church. es wake up their congregations and the country at large to the realization that America actually is at war.

 It seems to me, however, that ev-. l cry man should be called upon. as
 nearly a4s possible, to make equal sac
 r1f1ce It does not seem fair to de-
 stroy all that man has, and at the same tine permit another to enor-
 mol1siy increase his holdings Nor does it seem fair to demand
 that one man should surrender his ] salary. say, of s2,4oo per annum on
 which his family is dependent, and also to surrender his body as a tar get for shot and shell of the enemy, while another who has a vast income
 is allowed to remain at home and per haps double his wealth in the manu-- lecture of munitions or the essentials l of life
 If MT. Rockefeller's income is s40,- e00,000 per annum, and the government takes it over, he can live in comfort i on $200 a month or in luxury by
 drawing on his principal. but the man
 whose all is his salary of s2,4o0 per annum, can hardly provide for those dependent upon him for a soldiers pay of, say, s15 per mont5, an amount
 that is a pathetic reminder of the pit tance given to retainers in feudal days.
 If anyone objects that if the Gov ernuaent condscate all incomes above S2,4cc per annum, then it would be inn possible to dispose of bonds. I would
 reply that if this were done there
 would be small need to issue bonds.
 T have no doubt, however, that if our soldiers were paid s, 400 per a1- mum, they would be very glad to be | paid in part in Government bonds drawing 5 1-2 per cent interest. "Confscation without compensation | is being advocated very generally in this country now by our reform, or. ganii'ations, but the confiscation of in.

Advice Upon What to Eat
 How Much to Eat
(By DIR. I. H. wATsoN)

The poisons in man are taken care of, if man will do his part. The liver and kidneys act as the sewage dis posal plants which separate and throw off the poisonous accumulat;ons, if given half a chance. But many of us should not eat meat more than once a day. Eat vegetables, and what may be called "roughage" to stimulate bowel action, such as baked potato with the hard skin, graham, rye or whole wheat bread, onions, turnips, carrots, even the much slandered cabbage, and sauerkraut. Stimulate the liver into a thorough housecleaning at least once a. week. by taking a purely vegetable laxative made up and extracted from May-apple, leaves of aloe. root of jalap, into a Pleasant Pellet. first made by Dr. R. " Pierce nearly 50 years ago, and sold by nearly every druggist in the country. To keep the kidneys clean drink plenty of water between meals also, if you wish to escape half the ills'' which cause early deaths from kidney disease, affections of the heart, rheumatism and gout, drink a pint of hot water g. half hour before meals. This with regular outdoor execrise, sensible food, and occasionally Anuric (double strength) before meals Tor a few weeks at a time, and there is no reason why @ man or woman should not live to be a hundred. Thta Anuric stimulates the kidneys, caus ng them to throw out the poisonous uric acid which causes us to have pains in the back, lumbago, rheumatism or gout.
 Anuric can, be obtained at almost all good drug stores. / It always hene- fits and often cures the cause of kidney disease, as we'll as rheumatism and gout.--Adv.
