panies. Judging from their annual
statement. is the American Tobacco
company. which showed S25.21 per
share earned on its common. after
payment of taxes. which compares
with s22.7O in 1916.

Old TOYS. clothes, clothe. food, money
fruit and candy, to be distrlbuteed1
among those wiao otherwise would
have no Christmas gifts. Thus l
was enabled to give out 116 gifts

Santa Claus overlooked were remem-

a lack of extra things that accom-
pany Christmas but also found that
on Christmas Dayl they did not have
any food in the house.
With the money that was given
bought useful articles of clothing
