Tennyson was not thinking
about Christmas when he wrote
about following wandering fires
lost in the qdagnire,' but his
phraseology seems to apply to our
usual Christmas celebrations. Every
year we are ali so busy chasing
these dazzling, binding, wandering
fires that we almost forget the real
object OF the quest.

They determined many years ago
to make drastic reductions In the
giving Of Christmas presents. Their
children understand that what pres

chosen, wrapped, and the packages
ready to send long enough before

Christmas baskets are prepared
for families who are just less for

These baskets and their personal

Some Household Hints
Timely Suggestions from Practical
Housewives

Transfer all small package
goods, such as soda, baking
powder, ginger. mustard, etc. into
empty glass Jars. Paste labels On
the jars. BY so doing you have
heater shelves and you can meas
ure amounts without waste. Last
and most important you can tell at
q glance how large your stock is
and wilI-~never be Inconvenience
by finding a package almost empty
some DAY in the midst Of your
cooking, having forgotten to re-
plenish It.
The Institute has found that ad.
hesfve tape makes an excellent
label for glass jars as It sticks
much better than paper labels. We
then cover the labels with a little
colorless shellac, which makes II
possible to put the whole jar rigns
into the water when washing.
Covering Jelly Jars
Keep paraffin in an ordinary
small enameT teapot which may be
purchased at the five and ten cent
stores When needed Il takes only
few minutes to heat, and Il IL
easily and quickly poured on YOUR
jams or jeilies from the spout. As
the fruit is used, save each piece
of paraffin, wash and drop back
into the teapot. In this way
paraffin lasts for years, is kept
free from dust and is always ready
and easy to use.
Washing q Pastry Board
When in a hurry to make up
crust for a pie or baking powder
biscuits, instead Of using the pastry
board. lay down a fresh. clean
piece Of wrapping paper. Sprinkle
the paper lightly with flour, then
roll out the dough. The paper may
be rolled up and burned or put in
the waste-paper basket.

MT. Hannon was paid marked compliments for his ability as secretary and it was freely remarked the success gained by the local chamber today, is due entirely to MT. lannon's unceasing efforts. It was pointed out at the meeting that during the past week many business men in town have com- plimented the Seward chamber of commerce upon having accom- plished last year, 1925; mainly upon securing the Jesse Lee Home and the construction of the Sward-Ke- nai cutoff road, which brought an additional revenue to Seward of about $200,00O

 The chairman appointed Leon Ur bach and Vim Erwin, as captains of the membership drive. The captains were given the privilege of selecting their own team It was decided that the losing team would have to pay the penalty of providing a dinner for the winning team. The date for the drive will be announced in few days. The fees will probably be the same as last year, $10 per annum.

It is the purpose of the committee to per- sonally thank MT. Smith for the large amount of publicity given Se ward by the numerous recent an nouncements of the expedition.

Jordan's tailoring establishment has sent to St. Louis for pleating ma chine, which news will no doubt be gratefully received locally. Mr. Jor- don stated yesterday there was only one other machine like it in the Territory and it was due, solely, to the large number of calls for this class of work that he entertained any notions of purchasing the ma chine. Accordion, knife, box, and one way pleating is turned out by the machine in perfect condition, MT. Jordon looks for the machine within the next few weeks.
