Ten days hence we will all cele-
brate Christmas. 1t will be the
greatest Christmas in our lives
no matter what our station. The
one fine thing about Christmas
is that it is democratic; it permits
all people to share in its joys as
they like. The palace may be
favored with more gifts than the
average modest home, but
Christmas cheer is no respecter
Of persons.
| can remember as boy the JOY
| felt on Christmas morning
when my stocking contained a
package OF stick candy and sour
balls and a bag of peanuts,
In the many years since then, No
matter what | have received in
the way OF rich gifts, have not
celebrated a happier Christina
SO we must get it out OF our
heads that only those who have
plenty get the full measure CT
happiness out of Christmas,
Don't you remember mother
cooking for the Christmas Day
Hot griddle cakes and sausIPr
for breakfast; turkey, crAnherr}
sauce, mashed potatoes, turniP,
plum pudding, mince pie, pumf-
kin pic, crullers, walnuts, hics
DRY nuts, apples, cider, etc, f.
dinner and supper.
Gee! but weren't they gre
ChristmasesI
The Belleclaire gives its CUES
this kind of Christmas meals,
If you are strangers TO Nc'
York or live here but have
home of your own, come aron
and spend Christmas Day vi
US.
Well try our best to make y
happy.

OFFICIALS
MEET HERE THURS

Officials of the Chicago & Alton
and Wabash railroads met in this city
at the Hotel Alamo Thursday, and con-
ferred concerning the consolidation Of
the local railroad stations into one
union station.
No definite action resulted from the
meeting, though it is generally under
stood that as soon as it is considered
practical this move will be made. An
effort to affect the consolidation by the
middle of September is underway.
The Alton station here will be the
n used for the union station under
any new arrangements. This confer
enc is one of several held lately by Of
falls relative to this plan. 1t is also un-
der consideration to use the double
track plan from Centralia to this city,
if not to Clark. All of these points
are being threshed out at this time, so
they will be settled when the final de-
cision is made.

NEW FOOD REGULA-
TONS INTO EFFECT

County Food Administrator Strock
announced Monday that the fifty-fifty
rule on flour substitutes had been lift
ed September /, and that in the fu-
ture the ruling would be 1920 until
further notice. In other words, when
you purchase four pounds of flour,
you need buy one pound of substi-
tutes.
The substitutes, however, must be Of
a character to mix with the flour in
making of bread and not oatmeal or
other cereals of a similar character.
Restrictions on the amount of flour
that can be purchased have also been
lifted, thought it is understood this
gives no one the right to hoard it. Mil
lers are preparing to place on the
market at once wheat flour containing
substitutes in the proper proportions.
This will simplify the flour question
materially.
