THE MIRACULOUS CHRISTMAS
GIFT

It's very nice thing to make a Gift
that will please all the members of the
family. A box of candy will do that or
crate OF fruit. But usually some one
IN that family gets the lions share.
Ihat is not possible when the Gift is
a subscription to The YOUTH Conn
panion. 1t is like that fabulous pitcher
OF milk Of the Greeks; though every
one drank deep the pitcher remained
1uIl. Everyone has lions share in
the good things of The Companion:
everyone skins his own cream. VET
there is the very choicest cream left
Tor the next conner. What better
Christmas present can you make than
periodical with such fabulous DOW
ers of dividing its pleasure among a
dozen and yet keeping it all intact.

development of the bones, and a
large number of vegetables are lack

cause it contains this mineral.
Carrots are not a cure for all ills,
but are beneficial for the upbuilding
of the body and should be used in
the diet more freely. Carrots resem-

their carbohydrate content and have
a large content of sugar.
Because raw carrots are particu-
