WHERE is nothing that carries

THERE is nothing that carries
with it more sentiment than
the homemade gift. Years
ago when persons would cover bot
ties with silk and make candle
holders out of them the recipients
we're more appreciative than they
are to-day upon receiving an cleo
trio reading lamp. And that gift
to-day cannot hold a candle to the
gift Of yesterday. On the. other
hand, II you take q motorman's
glove, cut It apart and sew 1t to-
gether again, you can make a fine
piece Of skunk fur provided the said
motorman has worn the glove long
enough. A pretty candle-holder can
be made out OF a beer bottle (there
does not seem to be any other uses
to which a bottle can be put in
these daysl, and to put a little
humor into II the bottle can be
labelled Light Beer" We give
a few Christmas suggestions in de-
tail which we feel sure will lessen
the cost OF the Yuletide holiday:
THE DYNAMITEY HAMMER.

: with a gimlet bore a hole in the
head OF the hammer. Get little

can borrow some from nearby

mite into the hole made In the head
Of the hammer. Then get a new
ccbble-stone and place this IN
holly box alongside the hammer.
When the recipient gets this gift
the first thing he will do is strike
the stone with the hammer. the
conclusion will knock him sense
less, and while In this condition he
will see vari-colored balls and other
things generally used in decorating
Christmas trees. 1t Is a very pleas
ant sensation and saves the price
of trimmed tree.
Another use TO which the dyna-
mite can be put is to take the set

will hear her emit ordinations OF

and the ROSTERS and mules keep
the farmers awake the latter half.
SO there is always somebody un-

that urban dwellers feel the spirit
Of unrest more keenly. Every

NO FIGHT TO Be

yolstead Speaks for Drys and Predicts
No Fight In Congress
This Term.

Washington, April 10. Prescribing
OF beer and wine as medicine will moi
be made unlawful by Congress unless
the use of those intoxicants becomes
general and leads to an absolute
breaking down Of national prohibition
This is the prediction made today by
Representative A. ]. Volstead, Mime
sofa, chairman of the House Judiciary
Committee and author Of the prohibit
ton enforcement act.
In discussing the rulings of the De-
partment of Justice that wines and
beers as well as whisky may be pre-
scribed by physicians as medicine and
the current trend Of prohibition en-
forcement Mr.. Volstead said that the
country is gradually coming to the
point where it demanded proper en-
forcement of the law.
But the sentiment, he said, would
not tolerate petty invasions of the
rights of individuals but was insisting
on the enforcement of its sale and
manufacture.
