WHERE CHRIST WAS BORN.

The town of Bethlehem is shaped
in the form of crescent, and is built
in terraces on the side of hill.
On one of these terraces are group
ed the massive buildings of the Latin
and Greek converts, between which
stands the basilica, charming the eye
by the peculiar grace of its lines. All
the houses are distinctly Jewish in
appearance, with fiat rocks capped by
cupolas, and many of them have point
ed archways which offer pleasanter
places to repose in hours of sun or
shade.
Every feature of this never-to-be-for-
gotten scene is full of sacred signii-
canoe. In front of the city you are
shown the field where Ruth and Boaz
met, and near by is the spot where the
shepherds were told of our Saviour S
birth. At point still nearer the cres-
cent-shaped city is the well from
which David so desired to drink after
doing battle. A little further on, and
quite by itself, is the tomb of Rachael,
beyond which are battIcfields mention.

GODS ACRE.

I like that ancient Saxon phrase
which calls
The burial ground Gods Acre! 1t
is just;
1t consecrates each grave within it's
walls,
And breathes BENSON Ger the
sleeping dust
Gods Acre! Yes, that blessed name
imparts
Comfort to those who in the grave
have sown
The seed that they had garnered in
their hearts,
Their bread of life; alas. no more
their own.
Into it's burrows shall we all be cast,
In the sure faith that we shall rise
again
At the great harvest, when the arch
angels blast
Shall winnow, like fan, the chaff
and grain.
Then shall the good, stand in immor-
tai bloom,
In the fair gardens of that second
birth;
And each bright blossom mingle its
perfume
With that of bowers which never
bloomed on earth

IN NEW ORLEANS.

The intrepid French people, who
nearly two hundred years ago3hraved
the dangers of voyage across the
trackless ocean in the rude vessels of
that period, to set up their new homes
in Louisiana, brought with them their
French customs and traditions. To-
day, their numerous descendants still
cling most tenaciously and religiously
to them. One, the custom of visiting
the cemeteries on All Saints day, has
been SO sacredly kept by them that
now it has become general = All
through the month of October men
are at work in the cemeteries cutting
grass, trimming the shrubbery, clean
ing and polishing the marble tombs
and getting everything in perfect or
der for the great day. Florists are
busy cultivating their choicest flow
ers, white chrysanthemums, dahlias,
roses and tuberoses being the favor
ties, and commanding the highest
prices.
Every All Saints day the cemeter-
les are filed with people. Some stay
a short time, others spend the day,
either taking lunch with them or buy
ing one from the restaurants or cake

change tears and memories over the
graves of their loved ones. Many sad

emptied, while shadows darken over

HEALTH MAxIMs.

The following instructions, which
have been issued to American men
past military age, also give some
sound advice to the younger genera
ton of both sexes:
Don't ask the heart to pump extra
blood to the brain all day and then
to an overloaded stomach all night.
Tight shoes have sent many a man
to bed with cold.
brain fag.
Loose clothes, loose gloves, easy
shoes spell comfort and health.
No wise athlete stands still after
exercise without putting something
over him.
Short shoes and shoes that don't fit
cost lot in the long run.
Getting mad makes black marks on
the health.
Envy, jealousy and wrath will ruin
any digestion.
When you rob the trolley company
of nickel by walking you add dime
to your deposit of health.
You'll never get the govt from walk
ing.
Sleep woos the physically tired man
or woman; she flouts the mentally ex-
hausted.
See how high you can hold your
Eoad and how deeply you can breathe
whenever you are out of doors.
Blood pressure does not come to the
men who walk a lot out of doors; in
stead it looks for those who sit and

Many a man finds too late that his
motor car has cost him more in health
and legs than it has in tires and gas
oline.
Nature never Furnishes man for
getting his legs tired. She has pun

A STORY OF A SPANISH QUEEN

During 1880, while Queen Isabella
was holding her court tribunals at
Medina, a rich man, De Lugo by
name, had secured to himself addi-
tional property by means of a false
deed. AS a matter of precaution De
Lugo had murdered the notary who
aided him in the forgery. There was
no witness to the deed except a serv-
ant, whom the murderer trusted. The
widow of the deceased, however, half
suspecting the crime, brought the mat
ter to Isabella. A thorough search
was instituted, and the body was at
last found on the rich mans premises.
Confronted with his horrid crime, the
wretch made a full confession. He
knew how eagerly the queen desired
to carry on a war which was already
dawning upon her 'Vision-a war
against the Moors; so he offered
her large and tempting sum of mon
ey to be used in it's prosecution, pro-
vided his life should be spared. Many
prominent advisers urged her to make
this bargain. Did not this great and
desirable object justify the means?"
Isabella, with instant decision, said,
mo! Justice must take its course. "
When the law not only caused the
mans death, but accomplished the con-
fscation of his estate and put it at her
disposal, she, in her review of the
proceedings of the court, gave back
the estate to the innocent families in
terested.

McAdo0 Gives Advice.
Secretary of the Treasury, Williams
G.. McAdoo, in a publ. telegram, sent
to the National War Savings commit
tees all over the count, :, asked that
the first dividend Of the second Lib
erty loan, due May Is, ie put into
War Savings stamps and certificates.
In this manner, he pointed ous, nearly
SIG, 000, 900, which the government
must pay to Liberty loan holders dur
ing the next two weeks, will be placed
at its disposal to use in the prosecu-
ton of the war. At the same time,
those who buy stamps with their divi-
dends will be receiving four per cent
interest from their bonds, thus max
ing the Liberty Loan bonds bear four
per cent compound interest, with the
interest compounded semi-annually in
stead of q straight four per cent on
the money invested. This policy also
gives to people who have already
bought bonds and stamps to the limit
of their available money, the power
to contribute still further toward the
winning of the war, without further
curtailing their financial resources.
War Savings stamps will be placed on
sale in all banks at the windows where
the bond coupons are cashed and each
person, as they present their coupons
for payment, will be asked to take
such payments in the form of War
savings and Thrift stamps.
Back the Boys Up.
Get back of your boys, or get back

bonds will supply a great deal Of the

loan to the government helps to save
a soldiers life. Do your bit today for

The Doctor Away From Home When
Most Needed.

People are often much disappointed
to find that their family physician is
away from home when they most need
his services. Diseases like pain in the
stomach and bowels, collie and diarrhoea
require prompt treatment, and have in
many instances proven fatal before
medicine could be procured or a physi-
clan summoned. The right way is to
keep at hand a bottle of Chamberlain's
Collie and Diarahoea Remedy. No
physician can prescribe a better medi-
cine for these diseases. BY having it
in the house you escape much pain and
suffering and all risk. Buy it now;
it may save life.

PRUNE FRUIT-BEARING TREE
Attention Must Be Given TO Removal
Of Wood as Well as to Height
and Formation.

.GFrom the United States Department OF
A~rriCUlturcp
In pruning a rruit-hcaring plant like
the apple attention must be given not
only to the height and formation Of the
head, hut to the removal OF wood as
well. The apple bears It's fruit on
spurs which are themselves developed
from wood one year or more of age.
For that reason. therefore, the re-
moval Of wood which carries fruit
spurs reduces the crop the tree Is
capable Of bearing. This then, is u
practicable way of thinning the fruit.
Besides accomplishing this result prun-
Ing can he used 10 lessen the annual
growth and force the energy of the
plant which would naturally be used
IN making wood Into the fruit. thus In

to carry n larger quantity than would
