us to wonder if we need not indeed ask
that we have returned to us O de-
sire to make of Christmas a real day of
kindliness to others and sweet, old
fashioned observances such as M

to think about our last few years, we
are bound to admit that we have not
been overly blessed with the spirit of
whatever spirit any of us had was a
borrowed kind, a bravado we had for

ALL IN READINESS FOR RCHRISTMAS TREE
Committee Reports That Arrange ments for Holidays Are Completed

l Final arrangements for the muni- l cipaI Christmas tree, which is to be erected at Central green. were com pleted at a meeting of the Christmas tree committee in the Chamber of Commerce rooms yesterday afternoon. Mrs. J. A. Traut, who has in previous
 years taken an active part in the
 Christmas tree decorations, reported
 she has been notified that the tree will
 arrive the latter part of this week.
 C. G. Spring will be in charge of the
 electrical decorations.
 The first public gathering at the tree will take place Christmas eve. An nouncements will be made later as to the program. Buglers have been se- cured to announce the opening of the Christmas celebration from the towers of local schools and churches. This will take place Christmas eve. Church chimes from the Center and South church will, as in previous years, sound Christmas carols and the Boys club band will furnish the music around the tree.
 Saturday evening, December 27, the Philharm onic band, under the direc- ton of Musical Director George B. Matthews, will render a concert at the green. A community sing will take place with several hundred local chil- dren participating in it. Printed cards will be distributed at the tree at each gathering. The exercises will be con- cluded New Years eve when the Boys club band will provide the music for the singing of the Christmas songs.
 The committee reports that the con- tributions for the Christmas tree fund are not being made as rapidly as eX- pected and at the present time the Chamber of Commerce officials report only 36 contributions, am bunting to $150, having been received. The tree is of interest to all local residents and the officials urge that contributions be made toward making the affair a sue cess. Beginning tom orrow Boy Scouts under the leadership of w. o. Cook will assume the responsibility in get l ting the balance of the fund needed. 4 Each scout will be equipped with proper credentials and will make a house to house canvass.

Thin, Nervous People
 Need Bitro-PhosDhate

Weak, thin people--men or women are nearly always nervous wrecks: thus conclusively proving that thln- ness, weakness, debility and neuras- thenia are almost invariably due to nerve starvation. Feed your nerves and all these symptoms due to nerve starvation will disappear.
 Eminent specialists state that one of the best things for the nerves is an organic phosphate known among druggists as Bitro- Phosphate, a five grain tablet of which should be taken with each meal. Being a genuine nerve builder and not a stimulant or habit-forming drug, tro-Phosphate can be safely taken by the weakest and most delicate sufferer, and the results following it's use are often sim ply astonishing.
 By strengthening the nerves, weak, tired people regain energy and vigor; thinness and angularity give way to plumpness and curves; sleep returns to the sleepless; confidence and cheer fulness replace debility and gloom; dull eyes become bright, and pale, sunken checks regain the pink glow of health. -..---.- ..-. +..
 CAUTION -- Bitro Phosphate. the use of which Is inexpensive, also won derfully promotes the assimilation of food, so much so, that many people report marked gains of weight in a few weeks, Those taking it who do not desire to put on flesh. should use extra care in avoiding fat-producing foods,
