Cakes by Parcel Post.

Cakes can be sent long distances by
parcel post without SO much as crack
ing the icing, II they are packed in
this way: Place the cake on large
sheet of heavy waxed paper and apply
the frOsting. allowing a generous pOr-
ton of the frosting to extend on the
paper. Plastering the cake to the pa
per helps to keep it in position. Fold
the rest of the paper neatly around the
cake and slip under it piece of card
board or thin board the exact size Of
the cake. Put both cake and board
into strong cardboard box. A CORFU
gated box is preferable, as 1t lessons
the jar upon its contents. Fill the box
with sawdust or bran, which should
be allowed TO settle to the bottom of
all the crevices. Finally, wrap the box
In heavy paper and tie 1t with strong
cord.

LAST OF THE twelve DAYS"
Epiphany, Originally, Was Celebrated
Rather Than Christmas, Accord
ina to Some Authorities.

AT PIPHANY Is the last day Of
the Twelve Days" OF which
Christmas is the first Au-
thOrities on this subject tell
us that originally IL was
Epiphany which was celebrated rather
than Christmas. II was the baptism
of Jesus Tor the spiritual birth) which
interested the early church fathers
rather than Christmas Tor the physical
BIRTH. In some circles In early Chris
tianity the baptism appears to have
been looked upon as the true birth OF
Christ, the moment when, filed by the
spirit. He became the Son of God.
For some time the two events we're
celebrated together on January 8.
Gradually the western church began
to stress the physical birth. and even
tually the two events were celebrated
separately. December % being fixed
upon as the date for the Nativity. In
the East the celebration of the two
events continued for some time after
the separate feast Of Christmas had
been instituted. The Church of Jeru-
salem stood out until the Seventh cen
fury. refusing to adopt the new feast.
The Armenian church knows nothing
Of December %. and still celebrates
the Nativity with the Epiphany in
January. Epiphany is a greater festi-
val in the Greek church than Christ

Such In bare outline is the story Of
the spread Of Christmas as separate

The settlers were nervous, and again
at night they left well-armed men on
guard.
These poor fellows on shore did not
have any Christmas beer to drink.
About this time, it seems, the beer
supply was running low, and Captain
Jones of the Mayfiower was guarding
his stock. Apparently he put every
body on a water basis. But Christmas
night he relented. Beer was served
TO those Of the Pilgrims who were on
the ship.

Christmas stocking.
Good old st. Nicholas of Padua
used to throw long knitted purses tied
at both ends. into the open windows
Of the very poor people. These purses
were made Of yarn not unlike a foot
less stocking. Finally it became the
custom of the people to hang them
outside of their window on the night
before Christmas. so that st. Nicholas
could put a gift into them as he passed
by. BY and by. when coin became
scarce. toys were put in for the chill
dren. and useful presents for grown
people. In the North country where
II was rather chilly at Christmas time,
the purses were hung on the mantel-
piece. and II was believed that the
good old saint would come down the
chimney and fill them. When these
purses were out Of use, stockings were
substituted and have been used ever

PREHISTORIC MONSTERS
 ONCE OVERRUN ALASKA

What geologists term the Oligocene formation contain the fossil bones of a great variety of strange extinct an imals. These strata are among the most widespread and most regularly distributed of the Tertiary sediment ary rock formations of the Great Plains and cover a vast area in Ne braska and Wyoming.
 The lower Oligocene beds, which are believed to be over a million years old, are often called Titanotherium beds because they contain great quantities of the bones of extinct mammals of that name. They were lcumsy brutes of elephantine size, according to the United States Geological Survey, De- partment of the Interior, having on the front of the skull pair of great bony protuberances which, although hornlike in form, were probably not sheathed in horn. The head was long and large and of fantastic shape. In its thick, heavy body and short, mas sive legs the titanotheer resembled the modern rhinoceros. It was doubtless a sluggish, stupid beast, for it's brain was small in comparison with the size of its body. The brain cavity was only a few inches in diameter and was surrounded by thick bone, as if to withstand shocks in battle. The ti- tanotheres were the most formidable animals of the time, and though, so far as known, there were then no carnivores capable of doing them ser ious harm, yet they seem to have dis appeared suddenly from North Amer ica.
 The animals of Oligocene time seem to have been abundant as we'll as varied in kind. Among the character istic animals of this epoch were prim-

VACCINATION ONLY SURE
 PREVENTATIVE OF SMALLPOX

What is smallpox ?-It is a loath- some, dangerous, contagious disease often mild, but frequently fatal. It is spread from person to person and is very catching. It usually leaves a person "pock-marked" for life.
 What is vaccination ?-It is a meth cd of protecting against smallpox which consists in the introduction of vaccine virus into the skin, causing what is known as vaccinia. This vac cine is prepared under special pre- cautions and sold under Government license.
 A small papule or pimple appears in three or four days, the skin around it becomes red, slightly swollen, and tender. In 10 to 12 days the swell ing goes away, scab forms, and soon drops off. There may be slight headache and fever.
 Is Vaccination dangerous No! when properly cared for no more dan gerous than any pin scratch on the skin. Within the last two years alone over 3,OOO,OO0 persons have been vaccinated in this country without a single death.
 What does it do?-It protects you against smallpox. Even when, after years, the protection has lessened, smallpox is still much less fatal than in unvaccinated persons.
 Proper time to vaccinate.-During the first year of life, and again at the age of about 10 years. After two successful vaccinations protection us- ually lasts lifetime. If you are ex- posed to smallpox, get vaccinated at once, unless you have had the disease or been vaccinated within the past five years.
 It is duty you owe yourself, your family, and your country. If every one were vaccinated, there would be no more smallpox.
 If you have not been vaccinated within the past five years, get vac cinated today. Have every member of your family vaccinated!-(Keep We'll Series No. 7, U. s. Public Health Service, Washington, D. c.

tive forms of rhinoceros, peccaries, ruminants, camels, insectivores, and oppossums. Some of the flesh eaters of the preceding Eocene epoch had de- veloped into true carnivores, includ- ing many forms of both doglike and catlike animals. The -toothed tiger, one of the most formidable enc mics of primitive man, first appear ed in the Oligocene epoch.
 The horses whose history began with the diminutive four-teod Eohip- pus continued in the Oligocene, in which they were represented by many three-toed forms that were about as large as sheep. Hoglike animals were rater numerous, and although many of them were smaller than the modern swine some of theme were very large. One of these was a for midable beast with curious protuber- ances on it's head, the use of which is not known.

ACTRESS TRYING TO GET
RUSS STOWAWAY IN U. S.
Boy, Aged Seventeen, Survivor of
Red Invasion of Crimea, Has
No Passport.

An immigration case analogous to
that of Lord Mayor O'Callaghan of
Cork. in which Izetta Jewell. an
actress, has become interested, is
now before the State Department for
final decision, it was learned today.
The case is that Of George Gouroff,
a survivor of the bolShevik invasion
of the Crimea during the diving days
of the Kolchak fight to rid Russia
of bolshevism. Gouroff. a boy of sew
enteen, arrived as stowaway at Ell
lis Island more than a month ago.
He did not have passport nor a
wise and has been held since that
time by the immigration authorities
Efforts are now being made by the
to have the State Department use
its discretionary powers and waive
the passport regulations to permit
the entrance of Gouroff.
The Russian boy was sent away
by his parents from SebaStOpol while
the bolShevik armies were advancing
on that Crimean port. after kolchak
had warned all persons in the city to
leave. He returned a month later
and found his parents and all his
relatives had been murdered by the
soviet forces.
The case bears a resemblance to
that of Lord Mayor O'Callaghan, in
that Gouroff arrived in the United
States without a passport or a wise.
Decision rests entirely with the State
Department..
