The Christmas
Spirit

lW-WIlN THE grim business of war,
llAkcsIn and under the spur of con-
E@SfyD.J servation pleas wrongly un-
lIN3xSMA derstood, there is danger
lAHgl this year that something Of
M the Christmas spirit will be
lost. Never before has II been more
important that 1t should not be. The
Christmas spirit as well as civilization
and liberty must be saved. The world
Is In the midst Of war that Is wrench
ing mems hearts; a nation that has
made peace Its emblem is throwing IT,
self and every resource into the con-
hict; on all sides sons have parted
from mothers and fathers; news Of
casualties is being received. Under
such circumstances II might be natural
for the weak TO yield to depression.
This must not be. There Is brave
and CHEEKY side to the picture, which
must be kept constantly In our hearts
and minds.
Preserving and accelerating the
Christmas spirit of other years will
help do this; omission of the usual
acts of kindness and generosity will
add needlessly to the depression that
all are trying to drive from them.
Hearts were never In greater need of
cheering than this year, Nor was
there ever greater need for an outlet
Of the spirit Of kindness and generos.

pleasant business of bringing to her
senses by force a brutal government.
That Is the task Of the hour. But 1t

eyes to the things wholly of the spirit.

obligations less pressingly important.
but equally essential TO the preserva-
ton of the finest type of American
manhood and womanhood. That is
why charities In war times should be
more generously supported than In
days Of peace; why this Christmas
should be made. II possible, cheerier
and happier than any Christmas that
has gone before.
There are some people who cannot
afford to observe this Christmas as
they have observed 1t In years pre-
ceding. There are others who can bet

All should give In proportion. There
Is no reason why they should not. and
every reason why they should. Not TO
do so will be unpatriotic and selfish.

Only One Genuine Case in COuTl-

Washington, April S.-Thorough
investigation by the food administra-
ton Of more than 200 instances in
which it was alleged that ground
glass had been found in foodstuffs
has disclosed only one case in which
glass actually was discovered This
announcement was made last night
through the committee on public in
formation.
The case in which glass was
found occurred at Fort Smith, Ar
Kansas. A baker in that town had
had trouble with his employees one
of whom. desiring to destroy his en-
Nioyer's business, had filed with glass
loaf of bread which was to be de
fivered to an orphanage.
When the bread was served to
the inmates of the institution, several
Of them suffered decorations Of their
lips. No more serious injuries re-
suited. The case was given promi-
nent publicity, the baker being &C
cused of being A German agent, with
the result that he had to retire from
business.

that the Noble building, and proba bly,
the Foresters hall would have been
destroyed when the cattle building got
a good start. AS the fire started near
the base of the building It was not
a very difficult task for the bucket
brigade to get 1t under way. The men
who came to the scene Of what might
have developed into con1agratlon by
their efforts as a bucket brigade were
able to save the town the costs of
having the fire apparatus come down
from New Britain, and in that way
saved the town about $50 the price
set by the New Britain Fire board
recently for services. The fire was
fought with little expense or damage,
about the only loser being Colonel
Jarvis who is out pair of trousers and
a pair of shoes, as he was for a short
time compelled to fight the fire by
i stamping on it.
Just how the fire was started is not
