First Christmas Trees. r.:
Originated in Germany

~ THE via, sandy heathland
~ of the North German plain the
dark ieafcd fir trees have ffeNrished
for many centuries. 1t is not
strange, therefore, that the. Christ.
mas Tree" should have It's origin
there. II dates back prior to the
days of Christianity. The early
Egyptians used to employ decorat
ed trees in their festive season eel
eDrations. 1t is n Fact well known
by all boianiSts that the palm tree
puts forth shoot each month, md
at the time Of the winter solstice, Il
spray of palm, bearing twelve
shoots, was employed in the temple
of Osiris to mark tie completion
of the year. Curiousiy enough.
England did not adopt Christmas
trees until the middle Of the last
century. The prince cons0rt, short
ly after his marriage to Queen Vic
toria. introduced them into Great
britain.

such laughter!

was speaker for the day and dis
cussed in comprehensive and clear

ner in which it operates, the var
iouS loan banks and their operation.
He succeeded in giving his listen
ers an excellent idea of the whole
organization.
Mrs. l. H. Shaw was hostess for
the day and the members made an
unusual suggestion in regard to
dinners: rather than go to consid-
cradle time and work making and
donating articles of food, they de-
cided to give the money outright.
A collection was taken which netted
more than the actual dinners and
which needless to say, was far less
work.
Miss Florence Glenn, home DEM
onstration agent, was present in the
afternoon to discuss the January
project, better buying of floor COW
erings. Forty-three were present.

CUT THIS OUT
EXCELLENT RECIPE FOR CA
TARRH, CATARRHAL DEAF
NESS AND HEAD NOISES

If you know of some one who is
troubled with Catarrhal Deafness,
head noises or ordinary catarrh cut
out this formula and hand it to
them and you may have been the
means OF saving some poor suf-
ferer perhaps from total deafness.
Scientists for long time past have
recognized that catarrh is a con-
stitutional disease and necessarily
requires constitutional treatment.
Sprays, inhalers and nose DOUGH-
eS are liable to irritate the delicate
air passages and force the disease
into the middle ear which fire.
quently means total deafness, or
else the disease may be driven
down the air passages towards the
lungs which is equally as danger
Gus. The following formula which
is used extensively is constitu-
tional treatment and should prove
especially efficacious to sufferers.
Secure from your druggist l
ounce of Parmint Double strength .
Take this home and add to it a
pint of hot water and a little
granulated sugar; stir until dis
solved. Take one tablespoonful
four times day. This will often
bring quick relief from distressing
head noises. Clogged nostrils
should open, breathing become
easy and hearing improve as the
inflammation in the eustachian
tubes is reduced. Parmint used in
this way acts directly upon the
blood and mucous surfaces of the
system and has a tonic action that
helps to obtain the desired re-
suits. The preparation is easy to
make, costs little and is pleasant
to take. Every person who has
catarrh or head noises or is hard
of hearing should give this treat
ment a trial. Clements Drug. (adv)
