The Christmas Spirit.
PUBLICITY FOR PRoF1TEERS!

Some of the emnently practical business men in
the Council of National Defense are in danger of
becoming so eminenty practical that it hurts.
Anyhow, their suggestion that Christmas giving this
year be confined to letters and postcards is need
lessly cold -blooded and helpless.
The people have earnestly responded to all Of
the many demands made upon them to so change
their habits of life as to help win the war. Un-
complainingy they have done their bit and gone
coaess, meatless, wheatless and sugaress in order
to help win the war.
There has been little real sacrifice in the food
saving part of the program, to be sure, and the
nations health is doubtless better for this curb
on overeating. But the spirit good just the
same and indicated that the people will as cheer
fully make real sacrifice when necessary.
But there is real need of putting the ma
tional soul in cold storage just because we are
making heroic sacrifices for our war aims We
won't help by pulling long faces, taking the smile
out of life and settling down into depressing war
gloom.
Nothing worth while is lost by giving the little
ones all the Christmas joy proYide-and the
big well.
Those who have older boys over there are in
softened mood that will thaw their parental hearts
toward the younger who still bless the family
srircle.
We older ones are thinking nowadays. We are
feeling, too. The sacrifices we must make in our
own families bring closer to others who are
making the same sacrifices There is growing
kinship between fathers and mothers whose lives
never touched before.
: We are in kindlier mood, and would save for
humanity all of the kindness and gentleness and
happiness we may.
Life need not be all tears even in war time. If
we let tender smiles shine through the tears there
-no less of sympathy for and appreciation of sac
rihce.
So away with overeficient efficiency that
would hide away the Christmas spirit until the war
is over. Let Christmas come, and with it all the
old-fashioned tender, generous, loving Christmas
spirit muster.
Leave the people alone with their Christmas,
and they'll start the new year all the better fitted
in morale to go on with the war that NAV end all
wars and push along toward the happy day when
The Christmas spirit will last the whole year

Sunday, September 1. 1913

This is not an important day In
planetary direction, according to as
trology.~ While Saturn is slightly
benefic in aspect. the Sun and Mer-
curry are adverse.
1t is a rule under which to take
no important steps, either in philan-
thropic or religious work, as the stars
are supposed to dull sympathy and
encourage indifference.
There is q sign that seems to indi-
cate more or less agitation on the
part of the public concerning impor-
tant natiopal questions.
The stars seem to foreshadow dan
ger from enemy propaganda in a
quarter hitherto unsuspected. as Mer-
curry is in an aspect read as warning
against the most subtle writings.
This is not fortunate day for Wis
iting friends or relatives whose ia
vor II b desirable to cultivate, as
the Sun Is in a place menacing to
those who desire appreciation or help
Of any sort.
During this sway II is supposed
that perils underground are in
creased. Trench warfare has not q
promising direction OF the stars.
The seers declare that while they
behold in the planets promise Of such
supremacy for the United States that
the country will dominate the world.
they must caution Americans not to
be too eager or impatient for speedy
victory, since they must meet delays.
Again surprises are forecast for the
war. Lucky events will overcome all
temporary setbscks.
Astrologers counsel the utmost per-
sistence in whatever has to do with
the war, since the stars are held to
Indicate that there will be need OF
great endurance. even though the end
may come in 1919.
Persons whose birthdate It is have

OF friends II foreshadowed.
Children born on this day probably

Industrious. These subjects Of Virgo
are often inclined to worry need
