HINTS FOR BELATED GIFTS
Bags and Aprons Are Easily and
Quickly Made and They Are Al
ways Acceptable.

For many weeks before Christmas
the household is busy with needle,
crochet hook and tatting shuttle, fash
ioning Christmas gifts for family and
friends. But, there always are some
belated gifts, that must be made dur
ing the last few days, for friends that
we would like to remember.
In such cases there is nothing more
quickly or easily made than bags and
aprons, and one never can have too
many of either. Laundry bags, stock
ing bags, darning bags, piece bags and
bags for sOiled handkerchiefs can be
made of chintZ or Cretonne. and fancy
work bags, purse bags, and handker-
chief bags may be made of silk and
ribbon. Several of these bags can cas-
lily be made in an evening, and they
are always acceptable gifts.
And aprOns-no woman ever had
too many aprons. A few yards of ging-
ham, percale and butchers linen made
up into aprons, which would not re-
quire more than day to make good
supply, would go a long ways as gifts
to busy house mothers. And caps, also.
At this time almost every woman
wears some sort of cap when doing
her house work, and a neat, washable
cap makes an acceptable gift, and re-
quireS little skill in the making And
so with these practical and quickly
made gifts one may be able to catca up
with Christmas rernemhrances, even
though belated until the last few days
before Christmas.

Many physicians believe that any
one who has bad cold should be COM
pletely isolated to prevent other mem
bers Of the family and associates from
contracting the disease, as colds are
about as catching as measles. One
thing sure-the sooner one rids him

FOUND TRUE COOPERATION.
Judge Finger Has Pleasant Experi.
 ence in Road Enterprise.

One man willing to donate the right-of- way for a new road thru his field, build the necessary fence to protect his crop, and then help put the new road in passable condition; another man volunteering to furnish the lumber and help make the re- pairs on the bridge nearby, and still another man offering to furnish the nails and other hardware needed to make the repairs. That's the spirit County Judge Finger encountered when he made visit to the site of the bridge west of Grannis one day this week He had had numerous com pIaints about the condition of the bridge and the almost impossible con dition of the road leading to it, and had met some of the interested parties to see what could be done to improve conditions. The spirit of cooperation and helpfulness manifested by the in- terested parties gave Judge Finger one of the pleasantest of his official experiences, and he came home feeling that working fer the public was not so bad after all
