At last morning came and Santa
Claus was back home. His shop was
quite empty Of toys. His pack was
quite empty, too!
Boy Of the North, his dog, vel
coined him with barks of JOY and
Santa Claus sat down by Boy of the
North and stroked him.
"Boy of the North" Santa Claus
said, and Boy Of the North wagged
his tail, i've been thinking Of my boy

Boy Of the North raised his ears po-
htety and Santa Claus continued:
Eyes, I've been thinking Of my boy
hood. Oh, It's not as far away as you
might think. For, these are the days
Of my boyhood and the days that are
to come will be the days Of my boy

Il will have to explain that to you,
Boy Of the North. You see am rath-
er old in years. have a white beard
and white hair and white eyebrows.
But my cheeks are very rosy and rud-
dy, and my eyes are clear and blue.
So you can see my age is rather hard
to tell. 81

Santa Claus gave long whistle Of
delight.
"But, there is little secret, Boy of
the North, and will show it to you,

young"
Santa Claus then went to a cabinet
and took out his magic telescope
through which he could look and see
into the rooms where the children were
with their Christmas stockings and
their toys.

Santa Claus asked Boy of the North,
and Boy Of the North wagged his tall

through the telescope.
Then Santa Claus looked through
the telescope and his face now was
all smiles.

RoYAooD OF SANTA CLAUS

The snow was falling steadily, COW
ering the earth with beautiful white
blanket. The trees and the bushes
lifted their branches and said to the
Snow Flakes;
DO rest on us if you're wearyl
You'll all be very welcome"
So the Snow Flakes accepted the
invitations of the trees and of the
bushes.
Soon evening came and over the
roofs of houses jingled the bells of the
reindeer. They were all there, rush
ing as fast as they could, for they were
taking Santa Claus on his Christmas
eve journey.
I've mustn't leave out the cities"
Santa Claus said. "Dear me, they
don't have the nice old-fashioned Chin
neys in the cities that they do in the
country places and in the towns. I
have to climb down the fire escapes in I
the cities. But even If they didn't
think of Santa Claus when they were
building, Santa Claus found out way
of getting to the children!
"Ah," he chuckIed to himself, show
many stockings there will be to f1lll
I'll make them bulge with nuts and
oranges and apples and toys and warm
mittens and many of the other fine
things ! carry in my pack"
So the reindeer took Santa Claus
that night to every home in which
there were boys and girls.

Sometimes Santa Claus took look
at the children who were sleeping, but
always he had to hurry on, for he was
SO very busy. Now and again he

Kitchen Aprona

A liberal supply of kitchen aprons
that are made of good material and
easily Numbered are a help to anyone
who is doing homework They soon
pay for themselves in the protection
they afford to ones dresses. Most
aprons can be Numbered more easily
than a dress, thus one may change
often for fresh one. The sleeves Of a
dress become soiled more quickly If
they are rubbed against an apron that
is not clean. The large supply of
aprons will make 1t possible to ap-
pear neat and attractive.

The UItramicroscone

There is an instrument called the ul-
tramicroscope which makes visible
bodies which are much smaller than
can be seen with the microscope. 1t
does this not by magnification, but by
very bright illumination. The bodies
are seen only as bright specks. 1t is
claimed that some of the largest MOLE
cules can be seen separately by this
method. These molecules contain
large number of atoms, a hundred or
so. From the motions of these ultra
microscopic particles their masses can

fetal. Medical research has deveI-
oped the fact that when Objectionable
odors are present in the air people
breathe, their respiration is depressed
and the result is a deficient oxida-
ton of the blood. Therefore, whether
ozone really masks an odor or COM
pletely destroys it, the effect is
healthful because the individual
breathes more freely and fully. In
other words, when bad odors are pres
ent in the air, there is an involun-
tary contraction of respiration, of
which bodily reaction the individual
is entirely Unconscious.

SAYS UNIVERSITIES
CATER TO DONORS
Morris HilIquit and PinChOt Say
That There Can Be No Academic
Freedom While Wealthy Sustain
Schools.
By HARRY GODFREY
Federated Press Correspondent


New York.-So long as college and
universities accept gifts of money de-
rived from great private fortunes,
the teaching in these institutions
must continue to be influenced by the
opinions of the givers, particularly
in the branches of economics and al
lied subjects.
Such is the declaration of Morris
Hillquit and Amos Pinchot, following
the publication of the report of the
Carnegie Foundation, in which it
was pointed out that donations from
foundations" have practically made
it necessary for college heads to. be
beggars rather than educators.
Teachers cannot help but be in
f1uenced by their conception of what
may be pleasing to the givers of
largesse," said Hillquit. "The teach
ing of pure science, of course, cannot
be directly inhuenced-but modern
science can hardly be separated from
social problems. It is obvious that
when such science is supported OF
supplemented by big trusts created
for that purpose by a group of indi-
viduals representing economic inter-
ests, it would be conducted to please
such individuals or groups"
Amos Pinchot, commenting on the
same subject, told of a letter he re-
ceived recently from a professor of
economics in a large university who
said that no professor could teach
the social economics of the times and
their significance and find it comfort
able to retain his position.
Still another attack on foundation
influence was made by William H.
Allen, director, Institute Of Public
Service, who said:
"It's not what the foundations
themselves do that, demoralize the
rest of US. It's what we are willing
to do or stop doing in order to get
foundation largesse."
All over the country, Allen con
tinued, future teachers are being
nodded into the crucibles fixed by tho
Carnegie foundations so-called mode
course Of instruction for teaching il
training schools. Yet there is nc
mention in that course of labor, o1
civics, Of current affairs, or of for
eign relations.

He advocated better system in mer-
chandising, adding that "more money
is lost through inefficient statesmen
than thorugh anything else." He al
so asked for a more general recOg-
milton of the potency of the daily

ed that the reason why so many men
fail in business is because they have
not learned to advertise.

houses did approximately One-third of
the retail business in the state of

found that the principal reason why
the mail order houses did best in

NNMENDS OFFER OF DR.. YORK TO

Door victims are more than likely to
suffer forever after because OF. hay

It take a man of the calibre of
Common. Tyler to back up such a
condition of affairs.
An ignoramus always makes a good
tool for some one.
For Mr.. Tyler's benefit and for
others who may not know, I want to
quote a few sayings by DR.. Cabot OF
the Massachusetts General Hospital
DIR. Cabot is the best diagnOstician
in this country and he says he is
wrong in 40 per cent of his diseases
and that the average physician Is
wrong in so per cent of his diagnosis
Therefore if medicine was right the
sick get the wrong medicine in 81
ner cent of cases. However, Cabot
goes further and says that out OF all
the conglomeration of drugs, pills
pellets and potions, only fve or slA
are reliable or specific, the rest are
worthless and worse than worthless
for they do only harm.
Medicine has had its inning fol
5000 years and has utterly falled
for there is more sickness today thar
ever before.
To prove the value of chiropracuc

enza statistics: Medicine lost one ou

of eight hundred eighty six Aiont

MEMS SUPPER
A BIG SUCCESS

The Supper put on by the men at
the Congregational Church Tuesday
evening was one of the most success
full as well as the most enjoyable af-
fairs of it kind that Plentywood has
known. The eats were not only Of
the very best sort but they were
served with such ceremony and style
that they were the more keenly en-
joyed. From the time that the pos
ters first appeared, an atmosphere of
expectancy and wonder was created.
The result was that everybody knew
about the supper and came in great
numbers to support it, and apparent
ly all got their moneys worth IN
eats, service and a good time.
Through the splendid work OF the
Executive Committee of four men,
every detail had been thoroughly
worked out and organized so that the
big crowd was easily and quickly
served without overburdening any
few. This meant that every man en-
tered into the spirit of the affair and
had his specific job which he freely
accepted and filled 20 the best of his
ability, whether that job happened to
be that of dishwasher or head-waiter.
Perhaps no particular one can be
centered out above another but rath-
er all worked together in the best
spirit of cooperation, feeling that il
was good to get together as brothers
and fellow-workers in such an under
taking.
The serving began promptly al
$3.50 and the tables with room fol
four at one time, were kept steadily
full until 7:15. While a large crowd
was expected and prepared for, there
were more than had been anticipated
with the result that the returns
amounted to considerably over 500
From suppers served, there was {
total of $1O71O taken in, and from
the Ladies' candy booth the returns
were S15.15, making a total of $122..
25. A few bills will have to come
out of this amount but the large pro.
portion of it will be Immediately ap-
piled on the 1921 % church debts
thereby decreasing those debts to E
figure that gives hope of complete
satisfaction in the near future.
