' Maybe Mistletoe Kisses Here Are Fraudulent ■HOLLY BERRIES FAKES <•11. I »r. Wiley . Dr. Wiley, can't you pass a pure Christmas law? See what an Atlanta man discovered today. Tills year's holly berries are mere painted imitations: China berries, dried until tiny are shriveled, and painted a brilliant red. That's straight.

My little girl is a cripple,” said the obi man who sells holly and mistletoe on an uptown corner, when he was taxed about putting over a fraud.

WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 25, 1912. wreaths Her brothers and the girls around the neighborhood brought her holly branches, and she spent all the week before Christmas making the wreaths. "But tills year there were no berries. The trees had been stripped so often that they had given up trying. And you folks won't buy holly without tin bright red berrie- to brighten the wreaths. “So one of the boy s had a bi igiit idea. He gathered ’all the china berries he could find left on the trees, bought my little girl a can of crimson paint and she made berries in plenty for tla holly wreaths. Everybody says there are so many more berries this year than usual. Now. do you want yout money back?" Come to think of it, perhaps there's a- much Christmas spirit in red berries painted by a little cripple as in those Dame Nature put in the trees. Real holly is always skimpy, anyhow.

They know from long experience in the sale of it that in cases of coughs and colds it can always be depended upon, and that it is pleas ant and safe to take. For sale by all dealers. (Advt.)
