DRESSING CHRISTMAS DOLLS
"Be Sure the Clothes Come On and
OFF," Is Advice of Woman Who
Has Had Much Experience.

"Be sure the clothes come on and
off" This is the injunction that one
woman has to make every year when
she gets to work at her usual Christ
mas task of getting 90 dolls dressed
for so little orphans who live in an in
stitution in which she is interested.
She buys the dolls at wholesale prices
and then gets good folk she knows to
dress them, but always with the re-
quest goes this injunction-''be sure
and don't sew the clothes on"
The reason for this is the fact that
these so little girls are like all other
little girls in liking dolls that can be
dressed and undressed, and the first
thing they do on receiving their Christ
mas doll is to see how readily it may
be dressed and put to bed and then
dressed again.
In dressing dolls it is possible to buy
paper patterns for doll clothes. One
set, sold by leading pattern concern,
contains cape with hood. a jumper
dress and guimpS bathrobe and
petticoat and drawers-all for ten
cents. The only trouble with this sort
of pattern is that it doesn't always fit
the doll you choose; in fact. Ii is by
the merest accident that the paper pat
fern would fit the doll. Although the

Find Frosted and Decayed
Potatoes May Be Utilized
in Manufacture of Starch

Frosted and decayed potatoes have
been found in trials conducted by
the United States department of ag-
ricultire to be entirely capable of
producing acceptable and frequently
normal yields of clean, white starch
of good quality. Much of this ma
terial appears to possess a potential
value for the production of sizing
starch approximating that of the stock
at present used for this purpose. The
mechanical difficulties in recover
ing from decayed pulp are some
times less than from normal stock.
Modified procedure adapted to these
abnormal pulps doubtless could be
devised, department specialists say,
but there seems to be no reason why
the present method might not be APP
piled profitably in the meantime in
the production of sizing starch in large
factories at the large shipping cen
tiers installed to utilize the great guam
titles of frozen and decayed potatoes
arriving during the fall and winter.
This would turn to profitable account
large supplies at present without
value, but which are a. serious burden
of expense since to their cost of pro-
duction must be added transportation
and dumping charges.

The People Who Suffer Most
From Their Conscience Are
Sensitive and High-Minded

There may be well-intentiOned peO-
pie who say that virtue always leads
to success and vice to misery. But it
is an obvious and monssrous falsehood
in world where we profit by the good
deeds of our parents and where mil
lions are suffering unutterable tortures
because of the deeds of foreign poten-
tates. That those who suffer must
have been wicked, and that those who
triumph must have been virtuous, is
ore of the most inhuman beliefs in his
terry. AS to the doctrine that the re-
ward of virtue is to be found in a clear
conscience or high satisfaction-that
is an even more violent falsehood. The
people who suffer most from their con-
science are obviously the sensitive and
high-minded, while self-approbation
comes most easily to the complacent
and fortune-favored Jack Horners. The
doctrine that the reward of moral life
is a feeling of satisfaction or happi-
ness is not only contrary to moral ex-
perience. but is intellectually sterile

Cigarettes Only Kind of
Tobacco Product Which Is
Increased in Production

The preliminary statement of the in
ternal revenue collections for the fis-
cal year ended June 80, 1918, accord
ing to the Journal of Commerce, shows
that the production of regular cigars
decreased by 4S2, 47O,413 under the
production of the fiscal year ended
June 80, 1917.
There is a decrease for the year in
little cigars of 2,511,559, in snuff of
341 100 pounds and in smoking and
chewing tobacco of 2S,115,697 pounds.
The only kind of tobacco product
which increased in production was
cigarettes. The. production of clga-
rettes. during the fiscal year just past
was 36,959, 1884, 804, against 3O,529, 1873,
538 in 1917, which is an increase of g.
43O, III, 266.
Figured roughly in percentage, ciga-
rettes increased about 20 per cent over
the previous years production; large
cigars decreased about 5 per cent and
smoking and chewing tobacco de-
creased about 6 per cent.
Uncle Sans income from the to-
bacco industry, however, was greater
in all divisions of the trade than in
1917. The government collected by in
ternal revenue taxation $156, 188, $500,
an increase over 1917 Of $53 GIL, 661. 76.
This increase in taxation revenue was
divided as follows:
Large cigars, 1924, 16517; small
cigars, $168,129.31; large cigarettes,
500, 1880; small cigarettes, $685.
243, 1882; chewing and smoking
tobacco, $11,S24,380.95; snuff, $1,219,-

Every heart carries it's weight

The cattle near in stall,
There, Graded close in Mary's arms,
He slept, the LORD Of all.
Now breaks the latest Christmas morn!
Again the angels sing,
And far and near the children throng
Their happy hymns to bring.
All heaven is stirred! All earth is glad!
For down the shining way
The Lord who came to Bethlehem
Comes yet on Christmas day."
