There could not be a simpler sort
of organization than that which has
worked under ■ thi$ name, “The Cen
tral Christmas Cheer Committee,”
for the last three weeks.
One meeting was held, a chairman
requested to act and space given In
the Rest Room for the work of re
cording. In this room there have
been many consultations which have
brought about a saner sort of benev
olence.
Over one hundred and ten families
averaging four children have been
personally taken in hand, names and
ages being provided by the investi
gators, This can safely he estimated
as the carrying of Christmas cheer to
more than six hundred people and
that with the personal touch which
alone adds grace to giving.
A Practical Suggestion.
The question that naturally comes
to mind is this: Why doesn’t Athens
have an alhthe-year-round organiza
tion for finding out those really need
ing help and giving it in ways not
tending to humiliate the sensitive or
to pauperize the grasping?
The -days demand the thinks of
long thoughts which shall reach out
into the realm of real citizenship.
Certain ones in our midst have done
much to ibetter conditions, hut much
remains to be done in the name of
civic betterment and would it not be
appropriate at this time when many
would really honor Him whose birth
we celebrate, that a system be inaug
urated by which the helping hend can
be given when thosie in our midst
most sorely heed it? The real Christ
mas Spirit is given for the better liv
ing the year through and from the
hearts of those welcoming this Spirit
there must and will flow streams of
blessed helpfulness which would the
better please the Christ if it he evi
denced in Ways carefully planned and
intelligently meeting the need.

Colds Need Attention.
Internal throat and chest troubles
produce Inflammation, irritation,
swelling or soreness and unless check-
ed at once, are likely to lead to se
rious trouble. Caught in time Dr.
Bell’s Pine-Tar-Honey loosens the
phlegm and destroys the germs which
have settled in the throat or nose. It
it soothing and healing. Pine is anti
septic; honey is soothing—both to

qualities for fighting cold germs. In
