novel OF that name by Samuel Merwin
and Hy Kitchell Webster, will be shown

who works on the susceptibllitles of the
converts to his faith to promote his own
mercenary ends, and whose lust and
greed finally accomplish his downfall.
The usual feature prices will prevail: six
bits for reserved seats and four bits for
general admission.

The Dish.towel.

Even the genteel barred variety, called
a tea-towel, is in bad repute. Ever since
men began to look through the micro
scope and think in terms of the micro
scope, Its fate has been sealed. Only
when freshly washed and boiled and
used in clean hands to wipe the rims OF
already scalded and drained dishes, is 1t
to be admitted into a modern kitchen.
Used in dirty hands till grimy, carried
on the arm of a waiter and used to pol
ish plate or wipe table, it belongs to
the dark ages, hygienically speaking:
In dish-washiDg the household should
more and more approach the practise OF
the laboratory where glassware and
porcelain are washed, rinsed In boiling
water and placed to drain. No cloth.
no matter how we'll known it's ante

When tho time comes that merchant
ships can again sail the seas In safety,
and the several thousand vessels flying
the German flag seek foreign shores
loaded to the guards with goods OF
German Enthusiastically then should
the nations Of the world buy the German
exports? One surely cannot expect the
mothers In England, France, Australia,
and Canada to buy and wear garments
made BY the very hands which dropped
bombs on the hospital in which lay their
wounded sonsl To do so would be
sacrIlege. And why should We In this
country, whose women and helpless chill
dren went down on the "Lusitania,"
whose sons and brothers and fathers are
already near or on the firing lIne=why
should We forget all these things In days
to come, and exchange our gold for
German-made goods merely because
they are offered us for little less money
than the same articles can be manufac-
tured here? And why should the South
American countries encourage imports
of German goods when by doing so,
every dollar serves to strengthen the
arms OF q nation which would crush
them all in It's plan of world dominion
Why should India, and Japan, and
China, help rebuild an export trade, the
rapid growth Of which, and whose enor.
nous profits, fed the fires of avarice
with the dream of controlling the fac
tories and workshops Of the whole
world?
The very money which for years has
flowed into Germany from France, and
England, and Italy, is this very moment
going back to them In the form of dead
~ gases and monster shells, and all the
hideous implements of which the Huns
are proud. Money which this country
exchanged for German goods is being
spent on our own soil in propaganda
by which bate, distrust, and malicious
ness are planted and nurtured. Our own
dollars were and still are being spent to
foment hate between this country and
Japan, and Mexico; 1t was some of our
own money which paid for dishonor
of the Bernstorf type; which has blown
up our mills and ships and docks; which
has made the l. W. w. what 1t ia.
Shall We then In time resume the ex-
change of our money~to . foe who will
ere long approach us with smiling face
and explain NO harm was meant when
he stopped at no barrier and recognized
no code of faith or morslityP Will we
be SO craven as to forget all thisp Or
will we demand that Congress pass a
law requiring that every article imported
into this country shall (under penalty of
conflscation) be plainly marked, showing
the country of its origin? And then
may all good Americans show their
loyalty and never hesitate one instant
between going without an article or buy
ing one bearing that mark of iniquity

Christmas Preparedness.
fRv Mrs. e. A. Rob0rte,)


How strange. that when Christmas
comes every year, as sure as taxes, so
few of us prepare for it. I have 1t
tucked away In my brain all the time
and 1t makes q warm glow round my
heart whenever think of 1t.
have Bag, Box, Bank, q Book,
big Envelope and Club, all for Christ
mas. Ny Bag Is of pretty silk. It holds
dainty bit Of frivolous sewing all ready
to be taken up at minutes notice when
caller comes or the day 10 dreary.
When finished 1t is put away for Christ
mas. have made myself happy in max.
ing it and I give 1t to some one who will
be happy in receiving 1t.
My Box is my happiness chest. 1t
holds my finished sewing, especially
pretty boxes and cards and my White
Elephants. These are things cannot
use but that l know will at in some
where. Why should I keep pink.velvet
pincushion when my room Ia yellow and
some lover of pink would enjoy II? SO
the toys put aside, the pictures We used
to like, and the outgrown desires are put
In the chest, and at Christmas are sent
to the various Societies for Distributing
Sunshine.
The Bank holds new money. Through
the year save the shining bits, not for
regular presents-dear, no! For extras
last. minute editions! Wouldn't you love
to buy of all the agents before Christ
mas, or send flowers to the dear lady
who looks lonely, or play little joke on
q friend? Yes! but your regular money
refuses to stretch? Never mind, just
have a Christmas bank.
My big Envelope holds my gleanings
from the magazines through the year.
The pictures, jokes and verses are great
to illustrate my Christmas letters, make
the place cards different" or the wrap
pings on my packages unique.
The Blank Book holds the desires
called foolish, the fancies of my friends,
how love to satisfy them at Christmas!
So surprised they are to think l re-
mem bered! The blessed Book also holds
q record of our previous family celebra-
lions.
nv Clubq Well, the children and
meet on rainy days or Sunday afternoons
and write Christmas letters, make scrap
books for sick little ones, calendars for
little playmates, and stars and chains
for our tree.
I Yes, We all love Christmas, but / adore
1t. Yule-tide means the summing.up of
the busy months, the forgetting of hates,
the renewing OF loves, the fun Of jokes
and surprises, the helping hand to. the
downhearted, and the bubblipg joy of
the children. A bother? A worry? No,
indesd-but isn't 1t question OF pre-
paredness?

Train your children while they are
very young to take care Of their clothing
and toys. In fact, it Is easier not to let
them suppose there Is any other system
than "having a place for things." My
ave- ear-old hangs up his cap and coat
when he comes in from play. he has a
special place for his toys. Mothers, you
may be saving yourself and some other
mothers daughter great many steps II
you will train your boys to "pick up
after themselves"

See for Yourself.

Have you visited the school this term?
II you don't quite like going alone, and
father hasn't time, you might call up q
neighbor and ask her to 70 along. Some
knitting or fancy work will help to pass
the time. and maybe teacher will feel
more herself than If her visitors have
nothing to do but sit and look on.
However, take some interest In teach
er's work, too, and learn flrst.hand what
your Susie and Johnnie are doing. Does
teacher have time to do as much for
them as she might? If not, Is 1t because
the school is mixed one and there have
to be too many classesP Is the school
room comfortable and pretty and the
seats adapted to the size of the pupihP
And is the air pure and the light goodP
Try the drinking water, and see If the
children have good comfortable facilities
for washing faces and hands. See if the
outbuildings are clean and sanitary.
Teacher is doing some good things, at
least. Speak all the true words of en-
couragement you can; and II some of
the conditions are not so good as they
might be, offer to help her with the
directors, or otherwise to improve them.
