one likes sugar. :.

RECLAlMING WASTE LANDS.

At the close of the Civil War the United States
ed Western public domain which seemed almost bound
less in extent
Many of the soldiers, accustomed by their military
perience to outofdoors e felt the call Of the land
In large numbers they took upgovernment claims and
devoted themselves to farming life.
Our great army, also coming back from vigorous out
of-doors life is likely to feel the call.
Secretary Lane realizing that we have not the desir
able public lands Of years ago, wisely proposes
the reclamation of waste lands owned by the government
to furnish the soldiers with the opportunity of becoming
farmers or fruit-growers.
The secretary states that there two hundred
million of waste land in the United States capable
of such Transformation. They consist of arid lands
quirng irrigation for fertility, swamp lands requiring
drainage, and cut-over forest areas needing further
clearing.
Bringing these lands to usefulness would require large
expenditure of money but under good administration
would give immediate opportunity for labor, and
would eventually provide many thousands of soldiers with
their own farms
1t would also add materially to the national wealth. If
he confers benefit to humanity who makes two blades
of grass grow where grew before certainly plan
which makes land hitherto useless grow valuable products
also benefits humanity.

This year for most Of us IS very DIFF
ferent than any we have yet lived, be-
cause, even though we are not all &c.
tually on the firing line, we are there
in our hearts and the thought cannot
but give us a strange exultant feeling
to be in the front ranks, marching
with the music!
After all, that is just what the spirit
Of Christmas is. During the Yuletide
we are all In the front ranks and trl-
umphantly moving forward, for we are
thinking, not Of ourselves, but of
others. And that very sense which
loves and therefore serves, which un-
derstands and therefore sacrifices, Is
the true spirit Of Christmas. 1t Is the
real thrill Of life. 1t is the greatest
and most far-reaching emotion in the
world, and just to know that we are
capable Of that feeling, even though 1t
should come only once year, would
show that there Is the right spirit with
in us, and with n little cultivation we
might make it last all through the
year.

FOR COLDS and CRIPPE: II,
u 5.5s FOLLOW DOCTORS ADVICE

Ask any physician or druggist and
he will tell you that the first step
in the treatment of cold, cough, in
fiuenza or grippe should invariably
be "a brisk calomel purgative, prefer
ably the nausealess calomel, called
Calotabs." This alone is often suf-
ficiert to break up severe cold over
night, or cut short an attack Of grippe
and possibly prevent pneumonia.
One Calotab on the tongue at bed
time with swallow Of water,-that's
all. No salts, no nausea nor the
slightest interference with your eat
ing, pleasures or work. Next morn
ing your cold has vanished land your
entire system is purified and refresh
ed. Calotabs are sold only in original
sealed packages; !; price thirty-five
cents. Recommended .ahd guaranteed
by druggists everywhere. Price re-
funded if you are not delighted.-adv

MAKE IT A MERRY CHRISTMAS
Cause Others to Be Happy and Feel
the Joy Of Sacrifice-All In the
Front Ranks.
Christmas !

Christmasl
Every year 1t comes and every year
we love 1t and wonder why we haven't
made the spirit Of it last all through
the year, writes Margaret Mott Cor
don. Perhaps we do not have the
time? But to what do we give our
time? And why Is 1t that at Christmas
we all take time" to do the many lit
tie thoughtful things that we have
been postponing for months and
months?
One Of the things we seem to forget
is that the more we give to others tho
more we have ourselves, and the more
we have the capacity for giving. 1t Is
a wonderful thought and one that we
should carry around with us all tho
time. For we always feel so tingllng
and joyous when we have made q sac
riflce or see that we have really made
someone else unusually happy.

First Christmas Observance

The first Christmas celebrated
inside q house on the American
continent was on December 25,
1913. Our Puritan ancestors
finished their first house Mt
Plymouth, Mass, having spent
more than q month in wandering
about in search Of n place of
settlement. The company was
divided into 10 families, and to
each person was assigned lot .
for house and garden. 1t was
not very cheerful Christmas
for the Puritans. All of them
could not be accommodated in
side the house, so that some of
them were left out in the cold,
but the religious features Of the
day were not forgotten, and it
may be said that the Babe Of
Bethlehem was prayed to and
sung to In most fervent man
ner.
