Now that I think of it there was q doll buggy for both, including the dolls.
 They are my grandchildren and all were under Ave. Christmas was at our house, as 1 hope it will bo thlS year also.
 Santa Gets Credit
 On Christmas morning, after the first shock Of Joy was spent Lowric said to me, What did you give me, oliver" l said, "The book, dear" And he thanked me gravcly. The others did not ask.
 thought, What Q plker my darling grandson must think mo, Santa could be generous, but olive could only think of e book 1 wanted to say, "Oh, you precious 1 gave you this and this and this." But not for worlds would have him think that Santa had failed to fuifiii his request made weeks ahead, for . fine big rled. He doesn't know yet, hc will never know that l got him the best sled l could find, tied tho ropes on and hid 1t in the attic for days.
 Flo was very proud of his book and made me read stories from it. He is 70 very polite and sweet, And perhaps after all the book was aS necessary to his happiness as his sled. I do not know. But anyway, no gave me credit for my kindness.
 This year he is six. Perhaps his mother has revealed the truth about Santa Claus. He may know that all presents come from the family purse and the glamorouS toy department. But I am plan- ming on another surprise. I shall again tell him that Santa brought it, that Is, if he has not discovered the truth. My own case does not matter, but I believe that other mothers are put to it about this problem of telling children when friends or relatives deserve credit for their gifts.
 Christmas For All
 When Aunt Molly takes weeks to dress q doll, or Grandpa spends dollars on c bicycle or electric train, B there not something very valuable to be remembered and appreciated? 4 child takes aB much pride in presents from loved ones, aS in his booty from Santa Clau6.
 LoWrieB mother wanted to tell him that 1 gave him the sled. It was my idea not to tell him. But there are many presents that come from friends and relatives for children that should be labeled with the truth. The child knows that people shop before Christi mas, that they buy presents for each other. Why should he not Dc told that others 90 to c lot of trouble for him?
 This came from Mrs. Jones, dear, And this from Aunt Molly, You sec, Christmas Is not all Bar- ta Claus, but other people, % veil" The child can appreciate tiSle. Maybe ! am wrong, but I

 The nervous system includes not only the brain and tho spinal col. s,mr, but also all Of the nerves which carry sensations and which aid in tho motion of the muscles. Moreover, there iS m associated nervous mechanism which is great ly concerned in tho activities Of the anvoluntaFy organs whose activities must go on constantly. Influences of various kinds affect tho nervous system, such as material coming to tho nervous tissues by way of the blood, activities of secretionS of various glands, and digestion and absorption of food.
 Conditions affecting the nervous system are generally classified as of two types - those which affect the actions Of the body and those which affect the mind. In some conditions both the mind and the motor activities may be involved.
 In order to determine the OK. tent to which the nervous system is involved, intricate and detailed examinations arc made no only of tho blood and of other Secre. tons, but usually of the spinal eluid as well.
 Pupils of the eyes are examined, tilO senses of smell and taste are studied, nature of the speech is investigated and tests arc made Of movement of individual muscles.

cheer seemingly possible and the

including turkey dinner, immense
ly. Santa Claus, decked out in
traditional robes and bewhiskered
in correct style, remembered the
aged. And the aged remembered
other Christmases as they fondled
modest gifts fro mthe home. An

he held a box of chocolates. An
old woman rocked herself gently, a
neat little package of handker-
chiefs in her lap and she crooned a
Christmas carol. officials of the
home worked-and they succeeded
to convert the place into one
grand Christmas home, with a
present for every guest. George

to that. Shortly before Christmas,
he visited every guest and casually
