An empty cage, All me, All me;
To save the world from its pain
and grief
Twas built for the bird Of the
olive leaf.
But the raging war drew on apace,
And the bird flew far from its
brooding peace.
Come back, we cried, come back
again,
But it came not back to the haunts

Oh, the empty cage on Hollands

Is a mockery with its gilded door;
For the dove comes not with it,
bleeding breast
And its broken wing to the palace

APPLES ARE GOOD
FOR THE NERVES

According to DR.. Josiah Oldfield,
senior medical officer to the Lady
Margaret's Fruitarian Hospital, Lon
don. the allies may have to call in
the apple to help win the war. This
Is because the apple contains ele-
ments which furnish nutrition for
the nerves.
DR.. Oldfield says that Germany is
having no food troubles from the ca
lorific point Of view; that is, they
are getting plenty Of energy furnish
ing foods in concentrated forms such
as meats. cereals, and potatoes. But
what they do lack is nerve foods. fur
nished by fats, fruits, and Alads. He
states further that already the Ger
mans are showing signs of this lack.
in that certain resulting diseases are.
appearing. These diseases will be
come worse and worse as winter
comes on unless fresh fruit and sal
ads and seed oils can be introduced
largely into Germany"
Since these are the facts in the
case. DR.. Oldfield warns the allied
nations that unless they also seek
these nerve foods for their people
and their soldiers, they also may
acquire these diseases and lose that
wonderful stamina, courage, and en-
durance which is so characteristic of
the English fighters. He says that.
weight for weight and bulk for bulk
the apple is the best nerve food
that they can import.
Since the American government is
urging the people to use less con-
centrates like meat. wheat, fats and
sugar, we should eat more nuts and
fruit. especially apples. Besides be-
ing valued as a nerve food. the apple
has other good quantities. 1t con-
tains some carbohydrates, the same
food elements found in wheat and
sugar; therefore il is an energy pro-
ducing food. Due to its pleasant fla
yor and acid content, the apple aids
digestion.

Reuiuing Old Time
YuLe Customs

CPECIAL efforts are being made by
y women in many communities to
spread a revival Of the old GUS
toms regarding Christmas. Some years
ago Bhston woman with a touch Of
antiquarian spirit managed to stimu-
late Boston to revive a pretty Yule-
tide custom by celebrating its coming
by singing carols In the streets and by
Illuminating the houses through the
placing Of candles In the windows.
Other cities emulated Boston in this
matter. In Carlisle, Pa, a community
Christmas tree was lighted In the pub
lie square, and Its glowing Joy was
continued all along the streets by light.
ed candles placed in the windows,
many of which showed In the middle
Of'th rooms SO lighted up, displayed
to the passersby in the night, private
Christmas trees, the glitter and beauty
of which thus were shared with all.
An objection to this attempt at glad
ness-at least so far as concerns the
use Of candles-has been the risk Of
fire. But these days of electricity or
even Of gas seem to minimize the idea
of danger and there are different de-
vices that may be applied to do away
with all risk in the carrying out of
the friendly suggestion. 1t is advised
therefore that "the gladness and
brightness of the home on Christmas
eve be not kept behind closed blinds"
and to that end It is suggested that the
light from every window, whatever Its
nature, be permitted to shine into the
streets until midnight. The idea of
light is associated with'a that is good
in life. The glow of the cracking Yule
log betokened the hospitality ready to
| greet the stranger at that time, but
there was more to it than that. Light
in days gone by was supposed to keep

with the English snupdrngon and

pagan days. A lady of noble birth and
great beauty was always chosen to
bear the bird into the banquetlng hall.
In the days ot tournaments II was
over the peacock that the knights, with
uplifted swords, swore their oaths of
chivalry and vulor. The last record Of
such fare seems TO have been not upon

A CHRLSTMASLULLABY

Half an hour before midnight on
Christmas eve In Mexico the "Litany
of the God Child" is sung. 1t is after
this that the world-famous lullaby
song of all Mexico, the "Roro," is
heard. Every Mexican mother knows
this "Rock-a-bye" song, which is sup
posedly for the soothing Of the infant
Jesus. In time and tune it is not un-
like the American song, "Old Gray
Goose"
Many other nations besides the Mex
leans have their Christmas songs, but
not many have distinctive Yuletide lul-
labies.
