ity and Mr. Getz with his ludicrous
! makeup and foolish comedy.
Miss Brown singing, “Bubble
Land” with a chorus of pretty girls
from the “runaway,' which is a novel
]tv placed from the stage out over
the audience, was a lively feature of
the first act, and those having seats
near this runway were favoiea wun
memory bubbles in the shape of mul
ticolored ballons tossed to them by j
the vivacious young ladies.
The second act opened with Toni
Moran’s “My Dream Girl,” sung with!
an attractive chorus and pleasing j
lighting effects, to generous rounds
of applause:
‘'That’s Where I Belong To Be.”
sung by Ace Wingfield and chorus, j
was another popular number.
"Cheer Up Mabel” i- just what it.-, J
name implies; a light, cheery, breezy,

The settings and costumes are new

The Heart of Christmas
;
“I fear we are going to have a very I
poor Christmas at our house,” sattd j
Jane to Florence as they were walk
ing home from school.
“You know father’s been out of work
on account of the strike, and mother's
long illness will make it next to im
possible to buy gifts for tlie children.
And we may not even have a Christ
mas tree!” Ami at the thought of a
Christmas without a tree, her voice
which had been tremulous, broke into
a half stifled sob.
Florence looked very thoughtful,
then said in comforting tones, “But
your father’s at work again isn’t he?”
“Yes.”
"And your mother’s health is much
better."
“Yes, we expect her downstairs for
Christmas day.”
“Well, then I think. Jane, that you
should have great cause for rejoicing
at your ftottse—Christinas tree, or no
Christmas tree."
“1 had not thought of that Florence,-
but you are right.” ,
“Sometimes, I think we lose the real
spirit of Christmas,” continued Jane,
“by thinking that Christmas comes
from what we get or give instead of
realizing that, it is right in our hearts.”
By this time the friends had come
to the parting of the way, and with a
friendly nod and “Goodbye,” went to
their homes to vision anew the possi
bilities of Christinas.
OPPOSED TO CHRISTMAS PIE
The Puritans were not alone in
their opposition to mince or Christmas
pie. The Quakers also fought against
it, gild at length even many good peo
ple of the Church of England began
to think that clergymen should abstain
front it. against which 1 prejudice Uiek
erstafTe thus reinohstrntes: “The
Christinas pie is. in its own nature,
a kind of consecrated cake or badge
of distinction, and yet it is often for
bidden the druid of the family.
Strange that a sirloin of beef, whether
boiled or roasted, when entire is ex
posed to the utmost depredations and
invasions, but if minced into small
pieces and tossed up with plums and
sugar it changes the property, and for
sooth is meat for his master."
SANTA CLAUS
Beyond the ocean many a mile.
And many a year ago.
There lived a wonderful queer old man
In a wonderful house of sno.w; .
And every little hoy and girl.
As Christmas times arrive. >■
No doubt will be very glad to hear
The old man is still alive.
In his house upon the top of a hill.
And almost out of sight.
He keeps a great many elves at work.
All working with all their might
To make a million of pretty things.
Cakes, sugar-plums and toys, ,
To fill the stockings, hung up, you know.
By the tittle girls and boys.

PEOPLE WITH THIN AND WEAK
BLOOD HAVE A HARD TIME OK
IT—THEY SHOULD TAKE PEP

Look at the tacts of your health.
So much depends on'having red blood
[f your stand up in front of your work

Thin blood makes you dull. It al

joyment out of your work. It is only
half as good as it should he.
You can remedy that condition so
easily. Begin taking that fine tonic,
Pepto-Mangan. today and keep it up
for awhile. Your blood will become
nourished. Pepto-Mangan makes
red blood corpuscles. You will gel

ahead because of greater vitality.
Be sure that you get the genuine

LMake Every Day a Christmas I
Too prone are we all to allow our
Christmas sentiments to evaporate
with the day, forgetting that there
are other days in the year for a sym
pathetic hand clasp and an encourag
ing word. If Christmas is better than
other days in the year, it is because
the feeling of brotherhood and fellow
ship belongs to it.
' Why not have every other day In
the year filled with brotherliness and
fellowship? Why not soften the as
perities of life, speak the kindly word,
and extend the helping hand for the
other 304 days? In a word, why not
make every day a Christmas? Carry
the Christmas spirit with us through
out the year and say, with Tiny Tim,
at all times and seasons, “God bless
us, everyone.”
Let us keep Christmas in this spirit,
then, forgetting not to whom thanks
for the many blessings and privileges
of this great country of ours are due,
looking forward to the age that is
coming:
“When the common sense of most
shall hold the fretful realm in awe
And the kindly earth shall slumber
lapt in universal law.”
A sAr£ AND SANE CHRISTMAS
Societies are being organized whose
mourners are pledged against giving
Christmas gifts outside their immedi
ate families. Christmas giving has
been overdone, and if the intemper
ance can lie clucked in that way. well
and goofi. But let us hope the “re
formers” will not try by legal enact'
ment to impose their views upon oth
ers. There are many things in this
iife to he remedied, and most of them
should he remedied without resort to
legislation.—Tacoma (Wash.) Ledger.
WHY JIMMY PRAYED SO LOUD
Dick ami Jimmy were visiting their
grandmother. One night when they
were saying their prayers Jimmy
voiced his petitions for Christmas
presents in a tone that could be heard
a mile.
“Why do you pray for your Christ
mas presents so loud?” interrupted
Dick. “The Lord ain’t deaf.”
“No,” whispered Jimmy, “but
grandma is.”
