Flour dust is in the air ' And S ° lS the Christmas spirit! The most •glorious dinner of the year is on the fire! That Christmas is a time of gayety and feasting is traditional. Tlds ac count by some forgotten writer of long ago brings to mind the Christmas of yesterday and how it was celebrated: “Now capons and hens, besides tur keys, geese and ducks, with beef and mutton —must all die; for in twelve days a multitude of people will not be fed with little. Now plums and spice, sugar and honey, square it among pies and broth. Now or never must music be in tune, for the young must dance and sing to get them a heat, while the aged sit by the fire.” The Christmas cookies, the iced cakes and gingerbread figures which are part of our Christmas goodies are survivals of the confectionery gifts presented to the senators of Rome In ibe early times. The cakes were In the forms of animals and humans. Later tiie cakes became more elabo rate, and were adopted as Christmas cakes. In early England these cakes were very popular. They were given to the poor women who sang carols in tiie street, or who went from house to house witli images of tiie Virgin and of Christ. To put the “merry” in “Merry Christinas” today, tiie hostess must borrow a bit of old-fashioned revelry, add to it the flavor of steaming plum pudding and popcorn, sprinkle it well with a measure of good cheer, and serve with a sprig of mistletoe! Not so long ago it was customary to have huge wreaths and laurel ropes drooping from every corner. Now a spring of mistletoe and a bit of holly with its “berries like reddened pearls” are used -for Christmas decoration. A custom delightfully old-fashioned Is to have an untrimmed evergreen flanking tiie side of the front door outside the house. Another old-fashioned custom, which is said to have been originated in Co lonial days, is to include a tiny bit of mistletoe with the invitation. It is slipped into the envelope with the card “to carry the season’s good tid ings.” It is really meant as a wish or omen for happiness and prosperity throughout tiie coming year. Decorations for the Christmas table are not difficult to arrange. One may have a fiat bowl of colored glass piled high with fruit. Or one may have a slender silver vase witli a cluster of holly in it, or perhaps a lower vase with cut winter flowers. An old cus tom is to have a miniature tree in the center of the table bearing gifts or fa vors for the guests.

THE BULLETIN, IRWINTON, GEORGIA. dies are used for illumination at the Christmas dinner, whether it be for mal or Informal, because they serve to carry out the Christmas tradition. Many , old superstitions still cling to the popular Christmas foods. To re fuse a piece of mince pie at a Christ mas dinner, for Instance, means ill luck for the year. To eat apples at midnight on Christmas eve, however, Is to enjoy great health during the year. If a loaf of bread is allowed to remain on the table after the Christ mas eve celebration, there will be no lack of bread in the house for the next twelve months. According to tiie old tradition, “by all means you must have a plum pudding—a plum pudding grown rich and black and solid.” Otherwise, It seems, you will lose a friend between this Christmas and next. 4 If you wish, you may have an Eng lish Christmas party, observing aU tiie many English customs which have con tributed to our own Christmas ob servances. The invitations are print ed in Old English text. The house Is decorated with mistletoe, holly, ivy. Wax tapers, In brass, iron, or pewter candlesticks add the proper touch in illumination. For the centerpiece a boar’s head, made of dough, should be used. If It be made large enough it can lie used to cover the little roast pig with tiie traditional apple In its mouth which constitutes the main course of tiie dinner. At such a party the wassail cup must be passed around. Drinking the wassail is an old English custom. Dickens says: “They sat down by the huge fire of blazing logs to a substantial supper, and a mighty bowl of wassail, some thing smaller tha» the ordinary wash house copper, in which the hot apples were hissing and bubbling with a rich look, and a jolly sound that were per fectly irresistible.” Instead of containing the brew, ale, or steaming punch of the old-time wassail bowl, the cup at our modern $ THE GIFT OF GOD ® f fl W z/f*HRISTMAS would be J'J al st* st ran 8 e to most °f us if a x there were no gifts.

It is passed around to carry out the old custom and to “wish cheer with the brimming cup.” After dinner the guests repair to the drawing room, which is illumined sole ly by candles and is decorated with mistletoe suspended from unexpected places. Here the famous old English games are played, old Christmas carols sung, and old Christmas stories related. If possible there should be a glowing yule log in the fireplace. Perhaps you would prefer a German dinner witli all its pretty customs. Use for a centerpiece a miniature rep-, resentation of the Nativity, and have a tiny Kris Kringle or a small, deco rated Christmas tree at each place. Have gifts packed and marked with the names of the persons for whom each is intended, and then hide them throughout the house. After dinner start your guests off or< a search for these treasures, which they exchange among themselves as the packages are found, until each guest has his own. This is an old German custom, and is always good fun, especially if the guests are young people. Another variety of Christmas dinner carries out all the traditions of tiie Druids. There should be a crackling fire In the fireplace. Sprigs of mistle toe should be distributed generously. For dinner provide a jolly feast, nuts and apples and all good things to eat. And after this repast there should be dancing, music and entertainment. The Scandinavian Christmas dinner could be made most delightful. The menu may be the same as for any ordinary Christmas dinner —turkey, roast meats, mince pie, apple fritters, nuts, raisins, apples—whatever one likes. In addition there should be a huge Christmas tree in the drawing room hung with colored balls of glass ■ and made beautiful with tiny lighted ■ candles—or, to be up-to-date—with . electric lights. There would be gifts ' on the tree for each guest, and in each package a card bearing some delight ful bit of wisdom or cheer from the old Scandinavian writings. And of course, there would be the yule log, a great roaring fire, and perhaps the host, in the part of Thor, would quote interesting bits of Scandinavian myth ology. Whatever form the Christmas enter tainment takes, it must be free of for mality. There must be plenty of good cheer and fun; the day Is given over to rejoicing. For generations it has been customary to play favorite old games on this day and to make merry with one’s family and friends. As Dickens has Mr. Wardle say to Mr. Pickwick: “Everybody sits down with us on Christmas eve, as you see them now —servants and all; and here we wait until the clock strikes twelve, to usher Christmas in, and while the time away with forfeits and old sto ries.

To further the idea, poultry specialists of the college of ag riculture, University of Illinois mapped out a workable system of poultry san itation and already many chicken raisers of the state are profiting as a । result of it. There's the case of B. A. Barker, a Grundy county farmer, for instance, who took up the poultry sanitation idea and thereby put a stop to the heavy losses which he had been taking as a result of tapeworms and other poultry parasites and diseases. In connection with the sanitation system, Barker yarded his old hens for the first time this past year and as a re sult the egg production of the flock was more uniform throughout the sum mer than it had been In previous years, due to the fact that the hens were uniformly fed. Under this plan they always had access to mash but were not allowed to overeat on grain. Barker has co-operated with the agri tultural college in its poultry flock record project for three years. In putting the poultry sanitation plan into practice on his farm, Barker had his flock tested for tuberculosis. It also was pronounced free of bacil lary white diarrhea, one of the worst of the many chick diseases. The old yard where most of the chicks had been raised before was turned into a garden and the chicks this past year raised on fresh ground which was sown to oats and rape. During the summer the rape provided shade as well as green feed. A movable brood | er house was used. | C. H. Wilke, a McLean county farm | er, is another Illinois poultryman who has profited as a result of following a definite system of poultry sanita tion. Wilke, who is co-operating with the extension service of the agricultural college in keeping records on his chickens, took off a hatch of 437 chicks in March and placed them on clean ground where 'no chicks had ever been raised before. The ground happened to be in a corn field. In Une with the sanitation system which he was practicing, Wilke used mov able brooder houses. No signs of dis ease showed up in these chicks through out the entire season and 190 pullets were taken from the bunch and placed in winter quarters. They were plump and ready to lay. Wilke’s experlehces with a batch of April chickens which were raised the old way are a striking contrast to the results which he obtained under the sanitation plan. There were 1,332 chicks in the hatch that came off in April. They were raised in old chicken yards where hens had run be fore and where chicks had been raised in previous years. The result was that one disease alone, coccldiosis, wiped out 25 percent of the chicks. Roup followed as a result of the weak ened condition of the stock. Feeding Soaked Bread ■ Is Dangerous Practice There is danger in feeding soaked bread to poultry, according to a writer in an exchange. Soaked bread, he says, is one of the worst things one can feed poultry, either young or old, as usually fed, but there is away of. feeding stale bread that transforms ft into one of the best and cheapest poultry foods. To do this cut the bread Into slices and dry It over a stove or in the oven, until it is dry enough to crack; put the bread in a pail, or stout box, and chop it up with a spade. When ready to feed, put a quantity of this in a pall, cover with hot water and pour water off la about one min ute, then mix in enough mash so that it will crumble. Fer summer or win ter feeding this cannot be beaten as an egg or flesh producer. The finer par ticles of bread left in the bottom of the box when chopping up the bread make an excellent food for small chicks and may be fed dry. High Egg Production In cold, severe jnld-winter weather the winter-egg man gives attention te keeping his poultry house property ventilated, as he knows from past ex perience that cold temperature asd moist atmosphere do not go well with I winter egg production. Too frequent ly, as cold weather comes, the poultry- i man begins te close the windows at j ' night and pull down the curtains, j which all goes to make matters worse. I and causes marked decrease in egg flow. Mating the Flocks When mating the flocks, allow 8 to 10 hens of the heavy breeds, such as Brahmas or Langshans, 10 to 12 fe males of American breeds, such as Plymouth Rocks anti Wyandottes, and 12 to 15 hens of the light breeds, as Leghorns and Anconas, to each male Cockerels will care for more hens than cocks and fewer males are necessary If the flock enjoys free range. Egg may be saved for hatching and win generally be found fertile two days after the males are introduced. Help Kidneys By Drinking More Water Taka Salts to Flush Kidneys and Help Neutralize Irri- tating Acida Kidney and bladder irritations often result from acidity, says a noted au thority. The kidneys help filter this acid from the blood and pass it on to the bladder, where It may remain to irritate and inflame, causing a burn, Ing, scalding sensation, or setting up an irritation at the neck of the blad der, obliging you to seek relief two or three times during the night. The sufferer is in constant dread; the wa ter passes sometimes with a scalding sensation and is very profuse; again, there is difficulty in voiding it. Bladder weakness, most folks call it because they can’t control urina tion. While it is extremely annoying and sometimes very painful, this is often one of the most simple ailments to overcome. Begin drinking lots of soft water, also get about four ounces of Jad Salts from your phar macist and take a tablespoonful In a glass of water before breakfast. Con tinue this for two or three days. This will help neutralize the acids in the system so they no longer are a source of irritation to the bladder and uri nary organs, which then act normal again. Jad Salts is inexpensive, and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and is used by thousands of folks who are subject to urinary disorders caused by acid irritation. Jad Salts causes no bad effects whatever. Here you have a pleasant, efferves cent lithia-water drink which may quickly relieve your bladder irritation.
