Nurse Tells How Hadac0(
Was So Helpful To Her
Supplied Vitamins b., B., Iron and Niacin
Which Her System Lacked
Why These Vitamins and
Come In Liquid Form


There's a very good reason why
HADACOL comes in special liquid
form. These precious Vitamins and
Minerals are more easily and quickly
absorbed into the blood stream this
way-ready to go right to work. A
big improvement is often noticed
within few days.
Don't Be A Doubling Thomas
After reading Mrs. Adele's WON
derful experience with HADACOL
how can you doubt that this great
new nutritional formula will help
you if your system lacks Vitamins
b., B., Iron, and Niacin?
What HADACOL did for Mrs.
Adele, it can d. for you if you're
troubled with aches and pains in the
shoulders, legs and arms, certain
nervous disturbances, insomnia when
due to an upset stomach, stomach
distress and a general rundown
weakened condition due to such def
ciencies.
So what are you waiting for?
Don't you see that HADACOL is the
kind of product you need-the kind
you should buy and the kind you
should start taking immediately
Sold On A Strict Money Back
Guarantee
HADACOL even helps build up
the hemoglobin content of your blood
(when Iron is needed) to course
through your body, carrying these
great health-building elements to
every body organ. No wonder HAD
ACOL helps you feel wonderful.
Be fair to YOURSELF Give yourself
break if you have such deficienciesl
Why continue to drag yourself
around-a burden to yourself and
your family-when relief may be as
close at hand as your nearest drug
store if you suffer a deficiency Of
Vitamins b., B., Niacin and Iron.
This great HADACOL is inexpen-
sive, too-costs only small amount
a day. Trial size, only SIPS. Large
family or hospital size $3.50.
II your druggist does not have
HADACOL, order direct from The
Leblanc Corporation, Lafayette,
Louisiana. Send no money. Just
your name and address on q penny

whether you want the $3.50 hospital

about HADACOL sooner because
since taking HADACOL she feels

deficiency of Vitamins B., B., Niacin

Here is Mrs. Adele's own state

Worlds Christmas
Legends Numerous

Multitudinous legends claim IN
Vulnerable origins for the Christ
mas tree. One better known legend
concerns an early Christian mis-
C.onary, sometimes identified as
St. Wilfred, who once came upon
group of Druids preparing to make
a human sacrifice under large
oak.
He had the oak cut down and, as
it fell. a young fir tree sprang up
in its place. The missionary seized
the evidence and made the fir
tree a symbol of the new faith;
henceforth. the tribesmen were to
set this symbol of Immortality in
the halls of their lodges at Christ
mastime and surround it with
feasting and love and the laughter
of children.
The legend of the Faithful Pine
which sheltered the Holy Family
during the flight to Egypt is less
well known perhaps, but SO very
charming and touched by the mys-
ticism appropriate to the Nativity
theme.
With Herod's soldiers in pursuit,
Mary simply had to rest awhile
and sought shelter within the hol-
low trunk of a huge fir tree. AS
the soldiers approached, the tree
bent its branches to conceal the
huddled little group. When the
danger had passed, the baby Jesus
blessed the old tree. And if you
cut a pine cone lengthwise at
Christmastime, you can still see
the imprint of His little hand.
Nor has legend overlooked the
bright baubles which bedeck our
modern Christmas trees. The first
Christmas tree was really an ap-
pie tree, according to legends col
lected by Florence B. Robinson.
And, although the fir tree long
since has supplanted its predeces-
sor for Christmas use, the popular
tinsel bauble of today is the repre-
sentative of the fruit which for the
early Christians symbolized the
fall Of man in the Garden of Eden
and his reclamation by the birth of
the Saviour.

II CHRISTMAS TREE will be put
"a up in two out of every three
American homes this year. Yet
the trimmed Christmas tree, as it
is known today, is only about $50
years old in this country.
The Pilgrims forbade Christmas
celebrations on the grounds they
were pagan. A Massachusetts
law in 1889 subjected anyone to a
fine who observed the day by
feasting, refraining from work or
in any other manner.
1t was not until near the end
of the American Revolution
that the Christmas tree took
hold. German immigrants,
homesick for the tradition of
their native land, put them up.
The custom of the lighted Christ
mas tree, some historians tell,
originated with Martin Luther. He
was fascinated by evergreen trees,
glistening with starlit-snow, point
ing to the heavens at Christmas
time. So he brought an evergreen
tree into his house and lighted ID
with candles for his children.
Another old German legend cred
its St. Boniface with the origin of
the Christmas tree. Having con-,
verted some oak tree-worshipping
Druids to Christianity, he took
them into a forest, cut down AM
oak and pointed to a stately fir
along side. Take this tree" he
said, Into your homes as a sign of
your new worship. Celebrate Gods
power no more with shameful
rites, but in the sanctity of your
homes with laughter and love-"
Smyrna times., 1950-12-21

There was no macadam highway
leading from Nazareth to Bethle-
hem when Mary and Joseph under
took their memorable journey
nearly 1000 years ago.
AS far as routes we're concerned,
there were three. The western
route led along the sea-coast and
through the plain of Sharon. This
route was unpopular with pious
folk like Mary and Joseph who
Stunned the heather cities, rowdy
travellers, etc.. as much as posi-
BILE.
The shortest route, via the fruit
full plains of Esdraelon into the
mountains of Samaria and through
Shechem and Bethel, was not very
popular either. The road was toll
erable, but steep; however, the
Jews had little use for the Samari-
tans, and vice versa.
The Jordan route, which de-
scended into the Jordan valley and
followed the rivers east bank
around Jericho. was favored by
the majority of Galilean travellers
who for one reason or another (the
Passover, etc. went down to Jer-
usalem at regular intervals and
knew their way around as well as
suburbanites know their way
around m cd ern metropolitan
areas.
If the Jordan route was a little
roundabout, it was fairly level
and stepped in Jewish history,

that this particular manuscript
should not be commercialized.
Thus, the manuscript was pre-
cious family secret for 85 years.
But when Sir Henry Fielding Dick
ems, the authors youngest child,
died in 1888, it was finally brought
forth and sold for the staggering
amount of $4,000 = or, SIS per
word.
Purchased by the London Daily
Mail, the manuscript became a
literary event of the first magni'
tude, destined to be read and cher
ished forever wherever thoughtful
parents, like Dickens himself, want
their children to know something
about the history of Jesus Christ.
For, according to Dickens:
Everybody ought to know about
Him. No one ever lived who was
SO good, SO kind, SO gentle, and so
sorry for people who did wrong, or
were in any way i'll or miserable,
as He was.
"And as He is now in heaven,
where we all hope to 60, and all
meet each other after we are dead,
and there be happy always to-
gether, you can never think what a
good place heaven is, without
knowing who He was and what He
did"

Christmas Mass

Midnight Mass on Christmas
Eve is the event of the year in
Rome.
Every Roman Catholic church
In the Holy City is crowded
with men, women and children
anxious to see the professions
of church officials in their
splendid robes. The larger the
church, the more beautiful the
sight. And, of course, the ser
vice at st. Peters is the most
magnificent in the world.
AT st. Peters all the men
present are required to wear
evening clothes and the ladies'
must be dressed in black, thus
offsetting the brilliant beauty Of
the robes. Even the guards on
duty are attired in elegant red
and white uniforms.

There Was No Paved Highway
For Thut First Christmas Trip

little before Bethlehem where the
first Joseph buried his beloved
Rachel
1t is fairly certain that Mary and
Joseph did not choose the western
route when they planned their very
special journey. Whether they
chose to go by way of Shechem
and Bethel, or around the walled
city of Jericho may never be de-
termined definitely.
But, the distance nearly 100
miles-was, in any case, unrelent-
ing and conquered only by per-
sistent plodding. And when Mary
was too tired to 60 another step,
Joseph took the packs upon his

Tradition Of Poppy

The poppy loaf, traditionalIy
a part of Christmas Eve supper
in Lithuania, is a small loaf
made of bread dough and baked
hard in a bread pan. When
cool, the loaves are dipped in a
solution made of water and
sugar and ground poppy seed
which is also used as a tradi-
tional holiday beverage.
Tradition prescribes that the
poppy seed should be ground in
an iron kettle using an AK ham
die as a mallet, and no Lithu-
anian would think of grinding
seeds for the Christmas poppy
IOaves by any other method.
