CHURCH IS WITH YOU,
 IS PREACHERS MESSAGE

American workers will never con sent to return to the dollar and a dime that once constituted a days pay, because to do so would be to destroy every aspiration and every ideal upon which the nation IS found- ed, said the Rev. William Paulson, Methodist clergyman, in recent Sun day night serplon.
 "The church at large is for you,' declared Rev. Paulson. Bishop Mcconnell, of Pittsburgh, hated by the Steel Trust like poison, is for you. Bishop Edwin Hughes, whom the textile employers despise on ac- count of his activities in passing child labor laws, is for you. We are for you.
 "The .profteers are protected by a tariff, the Oil Trust has legislation enacted in it's favor. The Shipping Trust can secure what it wants. The railroads are given 6 per cent. as a reasonable profit, with fabulous sums
 for railway executives salaries, but the master minds are unable to fig laboring man.
 "The preachers have not struck yet, but as Dr. Stratton, a Baptist preacher of New York City, says, even the worm will turn, and some day he expects to see a banner with
 the words, We, the preachers, will no longer starve but quit our pulpits
 and let you all go to he'll
 Complaint is made that we have heads to our unions who receive large
 pay. We pay the bishops of our
 church $o,ooo a year, and they are worth it. Nothing need be said of attorneys that railroads hire at $Io,-
 900 and upwards. The labor union
 leader is worth al The gets.

Tucson, Ariz., Sept. 8.-Strike breakers employed on the Tucson division of the Southern Pacific Rail road have formed "union" and arc accorded full recognition by railroad officials.

 Lemon juice is used to bleach and soften the skin; mixed with butter milk it is said to dispel freckles Lemon juice applied to bites and stings of insects will relieve at once. AS a mouth wash, lemon juice in a glass of water dissolves the tartar on the teeth and sweetens the breath.
 Oranges, while rich in sugar and water, have salts of high value, while the flavor of the pulp is especially at tractive. Oranges act upon the bow els. Taken at night they are especial ly good. A glass of orange juice can be taken by the most delicate stomach and is especially recommended for biliousness.
 Grape fruit is said to contain a substance similar to quinine; this may be due to it's bitter flavor. This fruit has been recommended in case of grippe, and is said to cure that tired feeling which is called spring fever. Those who know say that the proper way to treat grapefruit for a medi- cine is to put it, seeds, skin and all, through the meat grinder, cover. with boiling water and let the mixture stand until cold Strain and take in small doses three times day. Those who like quinine will probably enjoy this.
 Apples are called an ideal nerve fruit, are laxative, hold valuable salts such as sodium and iron.
 Peaches are also rich in iron and they are highly recommended for anaemic people.
 Cherries stimulate the gastric juices (the acid kind), and are laxative. Plums are good but best as prunes. Figs are also high in nutritive value and are considered natures best laxative.

Uncle Santa Claus

 WrTELL us story, Uncle Peter"
 \ said the children, as they climbed over their kindly relative one Christmas eve. "A story!" repeated Uncle Peter, affecting surprise, but willing to draw upon his inexhaustible stock; well, have you ever heard of Uncle Santa Claus?" "Oh, you mean Uncle Santa Claus!' exclaimed Jack. "No, I dont,' said Uncle Peter; q mean the old man with the plug hat, the blue swalIowtail coat, the striped brooches; the old man with eyes like stars and smile that never comes off excepting when somebody Is treading on somebody else; the old man with the striped flag, whose headquarters Is up in Alaska; the biggest Santa Claus there is.' All right, then" answered the children, tell us about him."
 We'll" said Uncle Peter, "he, has his hands full just now and is doing all he can to fill the hands of others. The air is so noisy with wireless cries 'A'N' N''''"'' ''J t''N't b'V Sp many reaching out over the seas, that he is almost distracted. Ever since heS got back from the great war he has been repairing it's damage and renew Ing the prosperity that it spoiled. And long before that he was In the Christ mas business. He surprised China by refusing to accept the great sum of the Boxer indemnity. He let the Gu bans have Cuba when he had made them free, and many thought that he had right to take that fair island for himself. He is working hard at his task of making America truly American, sober, industrious, en- frightened, prosperous, happy, Christ nasy nation"
 'I'm glad I'm one of his American children said Agnes, when Uncle Peter had concluded; with which sen timent all the rest agreed.
 A little cloud of doubt had arisen sn the Christmas sky, however as

they neaIlM posted them from New York and Chicago and Seattle and Hohpkus, New Jersey, and hoped that they could fooi the receiver of the postcards that these cards had not been at one time gifts to them.
 And he did dislike those who would say to him after he had had his last years suit nicely sponged and pressed, NAHow that has worn It has certain ly done you good service, and it doesn't look bad at that r
 But especially he disiked and felt as though he could almost choke those who were given to telling others to count their blessings, while they moaned and groaned and whined and whimpered themselves at all times and about all things.
 These were his special aversions, but Hida was different. Hilda never jarred. Hilda was always sweet. Though Hilda did not, or had not as yet agreed to-, marry him, and he had asked her many time.
 The second time Horace had pro posed had been when Hilda was six teen and they were sitting out the SUD- per dance at one of the Christmas hol- iday parties. Horace was two years older than Hilda.

Uncle Peter had spoken of UpeIs Samta's lavishness in fur countries. Edith voiced it when she wanted ts know If It would be of any use for them to expect anything that Christi mas, whether tIr not they were to hang np their stockings. You'll put your foot in it if you do,T said George Nc, she won't" said Uncle Peter; "I have had a special delivery letter from Uncle Santa, saying that he has had his eye on this house for the last twe!yemonth, and that this will be one of his stopping places because from it so much of service for others has been going out. He says that you are his gardeners, and that you have planted so many seeds of kindness that lot of beautiful things will be fstlre to come up. That is always theGway, he says in fact, it is thesway in which he got rich himself.'
 This was very pleasant assurance for the children. II made 1hem think of happy mistake that one of thern had made when they were having war gardens all over the town: A certain MT. Rose had been appointed by the mayor as inspector of gardens for the whole place, and one day Betty point ad him out to a friend with whom she was walking. ''There goes Mir. Rose" she said; 'he's an eypecter of gar liens :"
 nhI1ro,, TO minded of Mir. Rose they also remem- bered what Betty had done at their last Christmas party stalking heavily md pompously down the room, she had said: "Tm Mir Atlas, who holds yp the world" So one of them stood threw out her arms and said: "Tm Uncle Saistsr ei,sis7 who- ko'ts ,tp-tAe world" Well done" cried Uncle Peter: that's just it!'
 There wasn't any disappointment in he house the next morning. Did you get all that you wanted?" asked Uncle Peter Yes said Mary. Were you at all disappuinted?" 'No," said Mary. When Mary said "Goodness,' her mother said. "You shouldn't say goodness Mary" Ora cious!' said Mary, But Mary was too excited to have q care for her eX pressions. In describing the situation afterwards she said: q was in per fect stupor of excitement"
 Uncle Peter had a present, too. After all the rest had been made happy Agnes brought out q parcel, and when Uncle Peter opened it there were too big books that told over again the story of all that America had stood for and accomplished. This made him very glad indeed, and he asked them to write his name on the dy leaf and to say that 1t was from his Young Americans. Then the Christmas party ended with verse of our national anthem, heartily sung md followed by all the other verses, with hurrah for Uncle Sam instead of an amen.

They had all decided that it would be no end of fun to take their skates and have a long day of skating, and to have their dinner out of doors. @ They felt 1t would be particularly good for them, too, to get away from the sweets and holiday, food they would constantly be nibbiing at if they were home.
 So on the day after Christmas they went on the Christmas picnic and slSat- ing party.
