Stomach Ulcers
Heal in I hours

Of animal liver is just about as good

Of course, liver can be obtained

monotonous and for that reason l
append few recipes:
Chickcn Licer Soup-One pint of
chicken broth; four ounces Of chick
en- livCrs and hearts; one hcaping
tcaspoonful of flour; one teaspoon
ful Of butter; one teaspoonful of
chopped parsley; salt and pepper
to taste. Bring the chicken broth to
the boiling point. Blend the flour
and butter with a little Of the broth
and add to the broth. Then add the
chicken liver which has been cooked
for 10 minutes and minced.
Lircr and Corn CrcoIc-Two cups
Of ground liver (parboiled) one
can of corn; two tablespoons of
chopped red pepper; one cup of
milk; two tablespoons of butter.
Put the liver, corn, red pepper and
milk into a saucepan. Cook slowly
FOR 10 minutes, season with salt
and pepper and add the butter
Place the mixture in a baking dish,
sprinkle with bread crumbs, dot
with butter and bake 10 minutes.

HOLLYWOOD, Dec. N.-There
never has been a Hollywood Christ
mas season quite like this one
It's the grandest giving spree IN
the history of the openhanded, soft

they were overcome by the glory OF

"On earth peace, good will toward

To untold millions tcross the
world today those words must have
a hollow and miserable ring. On
earth peace-when there is no
peace? Good will toward men
when men are killing and bombing
and manning?
Where is the good will, where
the peace? Have men made a mock
cry of this promise, which came
to them from more -than-earthly
source SO many years ago?
Blame the men, then, net the
promise. For the earth is good, and
productive, and splendid for men

GIVE JUST
ONE MORE GIFT

Most likely your Christmas shopping is
just about al done. Most likely, too,
you've had a whale of good time-in
spite of all of the grouching you've done
in choosing the gifts you're giving.
If you're like the average person, you've
had most fun choosing the gifts you will
give those you love most.
Now that all that is done-would you
like to prepare one gift that will give you
greater pleasure than all the others? One
in the giving of which will be packed all
the thrill that is symbolic of Christmas?
One that will bring greater happiness
than all the others?
Then. on this Christmas, give gift
that is absolutely unselfish
Give to someone who expects no gift
from you, who is bound to YOU by no
ties of love or affection, who Is in need,
yet has no thought that help-even in
the slightest-might come from you.
Do that, and you will know the true
Joy of Christmas, for in such giving lies
the real spirit of holy celebration.
Christmas is bore to those who rate
it in terms of getting and giving-those
who attempt to even up the balance sheet
between those who gave to them, and
those to whom they gave.
Christmas is joyous season to those
who concentrate on giving, with no
thought of what they will receive in re-
turn.
But Christmas is most glorious for
those who give in the knowledge that
they will not receive anything in return
but the grateful thanks of someone un-
able to repay in any other way.
Only in making this a happy Christ
mas for someone else can you, yourself,
derive the full measure of happiness from
the season.
True it is that blessed are those that
give" but twice-blessed are those who
give unselfishly, purely for the JOY of
bringing JOY to another.

THE PRINTED WORD
{ Riverside Press J

A year in which the 500th anniversary
of printing has been widely celebrated
now brings at the close of 1910 new proof
of the enduring. evergrowing appeal of
the printed word.
A survey of newspaper circulation by
Editor and Publisher, neWspaperdom'
trade journal, indicates that the number
of American papers has reached its high
est total of readers in history this year
Both morning and evening, as we'll as the
Sunday papers, all registered gains rang
ing from 316 per cent to 4.99 per cent
over 1889. That year. in turn had set a
new record over all previous years in cir
latlOn increase.
Obviously the prophets Of misfortune
went askew in their forecast when they
saw in the advent of radio the death knell
of the newspaper Today, radio sets are
owned by nearly one in every five persons
in the United States. But far from les
sening the popularity of the printed word,
radio has increased it, as special research
has shown.
People want confirmation of the ra-
dio's spoken word. For this they turn
to the newspaper where they can choose
their own reading time and set their own
reading speed Whether they peruse
dispatch from London or Berlin, or Gen
eva, or a bargain day advertisement of
local sale, they have before their eyes
a clear-cut, indsputable record
The fact that the American press to-
day enjoys more readers than ever be-
fore and that those readers are increasing
in number, is clear evidence that the
printed word, five centuries after its in
vention in Europe, is more than holding
its own against all challengers
In he Tnited States throuph tho nreSS
it still remains the chief means of spread
ing information, without which there
can be no enlightened responsible citizen
ry.
Those Of us who have practically given
the entire years of our lives to the Serv-
ice of the fourth estate have feeling of
great encouragement as we listen to such
a summary of the growth of newspapers
in the nation.

A HOLIDAY THE
WORLD NEEDS

More than ever before in its history
the world needs TO remember, with the
dawn of another Christmas, what it is
that the Christmas holiday stands for
Peace on earth, good will to men,"
Had the world abided by those words
perhaps the most inspired, the most
tragic and yet the most wonderful ever
spoken-there would indeed be peace on
earth today, instead of a Seething mael-
strom of international hatreds and dis
trust.
On this Christmas, with loved ones
gathered about, with Joy the theme of
the season, every one of us should set
aside a few minutes for quiet contem-
plation of the first Christmas, and the
meaning it brought to the world.
For, again, we are celebrating the
birth of the greatest figure,kno to man.
We are, in fact, celebrating Vle one event
which, more than any other, has influ-
enced the life of millions of people
through the ages. We are celebrating the
perfection of one man who brought prom
Use of the day when all men would see
the perfection Of his teachings, and abide
by them.
1t is not enough this Christmas to re-
member casually the beautiful story of
Bethlehem. 1t is not enough to recall
what has, to many, assumed the aspects
of lovely fairy story.
We should realize, as practical people,
that the practical application of Christ's
teachings would have prevented the suf-
fering that is abroad today We should
realize it-and resolve within ourselves
that each one of us. within his power,
will strive to carry on those holy pre-
cepts embodied in that grand phrase:
Peace on earth good will to men,"
While we observe Christmas this year,
let us remember what Christmas really
is-the anniversary of the birth of Christ.
