Getting Rid of Colds.

The easiest and quickest way to get
rid of a cold is to take Chamberlain
Cough Remedy. This preparation has
been in use for many years and its value
fully proven. No matter what remedy
you use, however, care must be taken not
to contract a second cold before you have
recovered from the first one, and there is
serious danger of this. A man of middle
age or older should 60 to bed and stay
in bed until fully recovered. 1t is better
to stay in bed three days at the start
than three weeks later on.

Practices Different.
The creeds and practices are some
what different from one place to
another in France. In Auvergne, fol
instance, the peasants remove the
cattle from the stables and priest
blesses the animals. In many prov
inces OF the North, the people bring,
to the mass, small pieces of woolen
stuffs to recall the cold night
OF Bethlehem, and to cover Jesus.
In the south there is long process
sion of children led by one of them
who was born at Christmas and
whose name is obligatorily Noel.
This procession walks around the
church singing. and the people throw
holy water when the little child 10
passing before them.
In other villages there are process
sions of men and women through the
streets, just before the mass, and an
ass and a COW are led near the en-
trance of the church and stay there
during the mass.
In many parts of France, Santa
Claus is absolutely unknown. Jesus
himself is told to come into the
houses through the chimney, and the
children do not put their stockings,
but only their shoes in the fireplace.
Jesus gives all kinds of toys without
forgetting to leave an orange in each
of the shoes.
Here are some peculiarities of our
Christmas, in France. / do not speak
English well enough to describe the
profound charm they have for us.
But by association they help US to
find, in your customs, the same beau
tifui feeling of your Christmas Eve,
with the coming Of Santa Clause,
dropping his gifts from the sky.
Are these exquisite creeds not the
proof that mankind needs to put a
little sky into the often sad reality Of
things?

LOVERS Of MUSIC
MOURN COMPOSER
Passing of Horatio Parker Re.
moves Man of Great Artistic
Achievement.

All America has learned with re-
gret of the passing away of Horatio
Parker. one OF Americas information
ally known composers and dean Of
music at Yale University.
The death OF Horatio William
Parker, professor of music in Yale
University, on Thursday morning,
December Is, closed an artistic ca
reer of high endeavor and much eX-
cellent achievement. The greatest
misfortune of Mr.. Parkers public
life was his winning Of a prize offered
by the Metropolitan Opera House for
the best opera The composition Of
an opera was not task congenial
to the talent of Mr.. Parker. and his
creation perplexed public accus-
toned to the facile style Of the Italian
writers and the luxurious appeal OF
Puccini in particular.
The production of Mona" made Mr.
Parker's name known to thousands of
people who had never heard of him
before and whose only memory of him
will be that he was the composer of
that opera But years before he
thought OF essaying lyric drama Mr..
tional had established an interna-
tional reputation as a master OF high
! ideals and admirable accomplish
ments. His "Hora Novissima," made
known in 1894. remains one of the
best musical creations which have
originated in the United States.

The Times permission to print IL, for
the benefit OF It's Christmas readers of

Capt. de La Vergne says of the
Christmas OF his homeland:
When we think of Christmas, there
are a host of remembrances which
come back to our mind. All the tra-

childhood, all the tenderness of the

delightful poetry Of the past time.
LanAseape Of Snow.
In France. the image OF Christmas
is associated, like in America, with a
landscape of snow, with a clear and
starry sky through which vibrste the
sweet sounds of the church's bells.
But ii is not in Paris that the old
customs of the Middle Ages have kept
their original form. The civilization
which we appreciate so much has
somewhat destroyed the primary
sweetness of the Christmas eve. In
many households there is not a fire
place any more, and the Yule log does
not blaze in front of the family gath
cred around IL.
II is difficult to conceive a good
Christmas eve under the electric
lights, but only with the candles
burning in the brass candlesticls
spreading their softened glimmer
upon the thoughtfulness of the party
IL is in the country that Christmas
eve Is spent as In former times.
Pfety and Tenderness.

Freshness Of Feeling.
At the mass 1T was possible to find

lanterns as q sign of JOY. Three times
the lanterns were raised and In the

SOX PLAY AT HOME
FOR LONG PERIOD

Chicago, Aug. 14.-Times have
changed since the White Sox
looked ahead to the Chicago ap-
pearance of the Boston Red Sox
troupe with foreboding, and this
afternoon Kid Gleason and his pep
perry crew are all ready to leap all
over the Hub invaders. A two days
lay-off, the gradual elimination of
sundry ills and aches from the ath-
letes, the return from a weary,
hard fought swing around the east
with an even break in games, and
a. fortified position in first place
have left the Sox yearning to go.
Gleason had his league leaders
at the park for morning practice
yesterday, Just SO they wouldn't
forget any of the tricks which have
been moving down all the clubs in
succession. This morning Eddie
Cicotte is slated to slab against the
Red hose.
The Sox are scheduled at home
for a long period and expect to fat
ten their first place average
against the eastern teams. The
Athletics follow Boston Sunday,
and the Gleasons will battle on the
home territory until the end OF the
Yankee series, Aug rs.
