Everyone was delighted to meet the
handsome young soldier and eager to
hear stories of s'over there" from one
who knew. John became a great help
to Judith with her plans for the chill
dren's Christmas and her Red Cross
work. Tn fact, he thought of so many
things that he came to the Midgely''s
at least once a day and every evening.
He trimmed the tree while Judith
made the simple things to adorn it,
One evening Mrs. Midgely remarked
to her husband: II never saw a young
man so interested in children"
He looked up from his paper in
amused surprise. "My dear do you
really think he is interested only in
the children?a
'.John. you don't mean Judith?"
Certainly. 1t has been evident from
tie first"
Christmas arrived-a glorious day.
with snow on the ground. The chill
dren had hung up their stockings. Into
the bottom of each had been placed the
bright new cap and mittens. and gay
bag OF candy on top, while the other
gifts were grouped about the tree.
After the successful dinner was
eaten they spent the evening in sing
ing carols. John had a good tenor voice
and Judith accompanied him on the
piano. Then he sang military songs
he had learned in the trenches.
The guests took their departure,
vowing it the happiest Christmas of
all. Mrs Midgely turned to her sister.
"Only think, Judith, I was afraid
you would have a dull time. The chill
dren have missed nothing, and you
have been an angel of mercyr'
Happiness has nothing to do with
the possession of things" smiled Jul
dith; cit is all a state of mind. And
John and | will have something to tell
you tomorrow, when he leaves for

a good cry"
Just as she was getting out her hand
kerchief preparatory to enjoying this
unusual luxury she heard the post
mans step on the porch. Habit forced
her to gulp back the tears and go to
the door. He handed her several let
ters, all of which she recognized as
bills, with the exception of one, which
bore the handwriting of her sister
Judith.
"Anne, DEAR" she wrote, "at last l
can visit you, and shall be with you in
a few days"
"Oh, dear! Oh, dear! To think OF
Judith visiting us at time like this,
when we can hardly manage, with the
high cost of living, to set the table, let
alone having a holiday time!
Mrs. Midgely INDUCED in the desired
cry, then, realizing there was much to
be done, she dried her eyes, and with
the relief that the shedding of tears

CHRISTMAS ACTS AS TONIC
Happy and Exhilarating Mental Spirit
Has Good Effect on People, De-
4 clare Medical Observers.

Close observers in the ranks of the
, medical profession have noted one very
interesting fact concerning the Christ
mas season-that it generally has
good tonic effect upon their patients.
In explanation of this the London
Lancet says that since Christmas has
come to be regarded as a time for
good cheer, universal feeling of con-
tentment and happiness is engendered
at this time Of joyousness. routine is
for a while relieved, certain fresh
ness is given to the daily round, diff
ferences of opinion are sunk, and a
charitable spirit prevails. Is it, by
the way, hoping for too much that the
season of good fellowship should leave
some lasting effect upon the manners
and methods OF all?
1t may not be easy to trace exactly
why this sense of eXhilaration and
well-being comes with the advent of
Christmas. for, the psychological fac
tors concerned are not simple. But
the main point is that the mental state
does everybody good, and the annual
festivity is just as excellent an insti-
tuition as the prescription of the phySi-
clan which gives tone and vigOr to the
struggle in life'S race. There is no
need nowadays, thanks to the good
sense of the people and the counsels
of their medical advisers, to moralize
about the evils of stupid indulgence
in food, alcohol and tobacco on fes-
tive occasion such as the present
Practically everybody realizes the
great physiological advantages of be-
ing wise on merry occasion and the
disadvantages of being a fool.
Many more persons than formerly
feel where use ends and abuse begins,
and they act sensibly accordingly; and
so far from it being a crime to make
the season festive by enjoying on
little extended scale perhaps, the
creature comforts of life, some decided
good is done to both the mental and
physical health of the individual.
The festive season may, therefore,
be welcomed which brings cheer to
thousands, which induces the generous
and charitable to brace the mental and
physical functions of the community
at large, giving it the opportunity of
relinquishing it's business and its wOr
ries for time, to start again re-
freshed and ready for "the trivial
round, the common task" The pre-
scription "A Merry Christmas" is
sound so long as the signature" of
good sense is observed.

gave her, she started in to put the
house in order.
Eat least Wen be Clean" she said to
herself, as she made broom and buster
fly about.
Some months before this time Henry
Midgely had lost his position as book
keeper on account of the failure of the
firm for which he worked. They had
had no idea of impending conditions
and were almost staggered by the
blow. The Midgelys had four growing
children and every month had lived up
to the salary. Mr.. Midgely had just
found another position. When Anne
wrote home she did not tell her family
of their loss, and she bravely set her
self the task of making up for the
months when debts had accumulated.
Christmas! That was the hard part.
Nothing for the children! They had
had such jolly times before, with pres
ents for everyone. Now she had more
work than ever to do and less time for
making presents, even if she had the
81 shall have to tell Judith" she said
to her husband that night, when they
were seated by the lamp and the chill
dren were in bed, show sorry we are
that we cannot make her visit pleas
ant one"
''It is too bad" said he. Judith Is
such slave to your father, looking
after his every within and never think
ing of herself. / wish she had home
of her own. / always planned to give
her really good time whenever she
should make that longdeferred visit"
Judith arrived, her face shining with
happiness.
"As last I am here! Are you quite
well, Anne?"
"Oh, yes, dear" Mrs. Midgely's voice
up quickly.
"You don't look well, Anne. What
is the matter?"
Poor Anne let the fioodgates of her
tears open and told Judith her trou-
bles.
''It's only that we don't want you to
have a stupid time, Judith"
"Never mind about me- answered
Judith. Il am wildly happy just to be
here with you all. But | am glad you
told me-"
The children were delighted to have
their aunt with them. They had often
visited the pleasant old white house
that had been their mothers home, and
it was happy party that surrounded
the dinner table that night. Mrs.
AIidgely, too almost forgot to be wOr-
ried as she smiled at her sisters high
spirits.
Next morning after Judith had
kissed the four children as they left
for school, she turned to her sister and
said:

CHRISTMAS REBORN

My hearts throbbin' like it used to. old
tunes play along its strings
At the thought Of Christmas comm and
the thought of Christmas things.
And the thought of little children climbin
out of little beds
With the Christmas candles THROWN gold
en- glory on their heads,
And a-standn' like I've seen them all
about the Christmas tree:
There is memories a-plenty comes alona
the years to me.
But no memories are sweeter than the
memories that come
OF the fur-off Christmas mornin's and the
children with their drums,
Little children tppytoein' down the stairs
in nighties white.
Then a sudden rush an catter. and a
squealin' of delight
When they see the tree a-standin in the
crspy Christmas dawn.
And a look has made them certain that
old Santa Claus is gone
For although they write to Santa tellin
what they'd like to get
They are always sort of skeered that they
will find him there till yet
When they're gettin' up so early. so they
give squeal to see
That he's got his work all finished and
has left the Christmas tree.
Children late years amt been gettin' all
they writ him for,
For his work was interfered with by the
horrors of the war;
But the war is done and ended and we've
got to rise and go
All the gaits for this here Christmas that
we ever used to know:
Got to do our shoppin' early. and enough
for years gone by;
Got to bring back Santa Claus and get
the Christmas tree an try
To forget that there was hatred In the
world, an grief and tears:
Got to do our shoppin now and brighten
up the comm years

States amounting to $370, GOO, 900, com pared with $197 GOO GOO a year ago, when the figures were at a, low level of new enterprises was in the develop ment of oil, shipping and chemical concerns. The amount of new financ- ing in March totaAed $153, 900, 900, as against $75,O00,O0O last year. About One-third of this total was for the railroads; bonds and motors predom- mating; while the remaining two thirds were for industrials, of which the major portion was stocks. For eign exchange is still unsettled though less so than a week ago. The latest feature vas a sharp advance in sterling, due to rumors that the Brit ish Government was supporting the market Our foreign trade appears to have entered a new period. With the return of exchange to more normal conditions, our exports may be unfa- vorably affected for a brief period at least, since both Britain and France are likely to confine their purchases to absolute necessities, particularly food. On the other hand, as industry is resumed in these particular coun- tries, our imports from thence will tend to grow, the result being a. ten dency toward more normal conditions than existed during the war. For some time to come the trade balance will run heavily in favor of this coun- try. though the extremes witnessed 6hEing the war period promise to be moderated

TODAY-S ANNIVERSARY.

The first modern preacher of So- Cialism was Francis NJ. c. Fourier, FrenChman, who was born 147 years ago today. Fourier commenced life as d clerk In 1T96 he was drafted into the army a private, and after service of two years was discharged as an invalid. In 1799. while em- ployed by a grain merchant in Mar seilles. he was ordered to dump into the sea a ship load of corn, in order to maintain prices, although the peo- pie were then dying of famine. This heartless act of commercial knavery inspired him with a lifelong hatred Of the social system under which such things were possible, and he turned his attention to evolving new scheme for the organization of so- ciety. His books, written while he was a cashier at S25O a year. enjoyed little sale during his lifetime. but soon after his death in 1887 Fourier ism gained great popularity in both France and America.
