And the spirit is contagious. It
would be imposible for ary one to

veritable fairy-land of lovely
Christmas things. Every store is
stocked to capacity with suitable
gifts for all. Some are novel and

Europeans are fond of Amer-
film.s for the simplest reason
in the world. They arc better than
the European and cheaper.
Again.-* these two arguments it is
useless to object. \
American films are steadily spread
ing the d mocratic ideas of freedom
and equaliy all over the world. Old
notions of vested privilege, old in
stitutions founded upon tradition
mart give way.
Along with the film come other
things that arc uni venal and inter
national, that know no nations and
do not understand the language of
“patriotism”— art, literature and
commerce. In thr matter of art it
maker no difference where one
comes from nor who was one's fath
er.. It is the same way with
merce, if it is profitable to trade
with the people of a country, and no
idea* of nationality can prevent that
occurrence.

Christmas Day rightfully belong*—

One that seems to particularly .ap

number of grownups crowding
around it, this mechanical clown is
Lqually appealing to them. It sells

toys include bright marbles, kites,
tops, boats, roller skates, scooters,
and sleds, for the boys, and for the
girl.', there are all sorts of dolls,
books, dishes, furniture, etc.
A charming gift that any woman
would love is, on the surface, a
cigarette lighter—but when the top
is lifted, there is a removable lip
stick. o bit of dainty rouge, powder.
and a mirror. The case may be had
in sterling silver, white gold, gold or
silver plated, and the various repti

To Women's Hearts
Then, for th e more intimate fem
inine gift, you will find a host »f
lovely lingerie to delight the heart
of both the donor and the recipient.
For nothing is so universally ac
ceptable to women!
Many of the stores have arranged
their wares—on tables according to
price, no if you have decided to
spend, say two dollars for a gift—all
you need do is locate the table carry
ing that priced merchandise. There
you will find displayed the best that
can be had for the money.
It is a great aid—and a great time-
saver—for busy shoppers.

Lifo Espectancy
There is no doubt that the great
advances made in medicine and surg
ery have added to the span of hu
man life, in their ministry agaimt
many serious conditions. Our great
life insurance companies have*be
come more confident in the selection
of their risks, as the years ha\e been
added to the great average of
“expectancy.”
But there is a cloud on the hori
zon of today. I .nn sure that death::
of individuals between fifty and
sixty-five are taking on a very alarm
ing increase—so much so, as .o lead
me to b.licvo that this is getting to
he the most critical period for men
who should be at thrir very best. I:
i*> not Providence that removes men
at such an age; my opinion is becom
ing more confirmed inch year, that
men are unconsciously doing them
selves to death!
The newspapers say “heart di
sease” of course! the heart usually
cea»is to beat when we die; the ques
tion is, what made the heart quit
working at such an unseemly hour?
It is time for investigation, when
so-called heart diseases are sweep
ing valuable men away before their
time. To say that a man died of
“dropsy” today, would be to betray
the most dense ignorance; “heart
disease” is almost as stupid.
In over thirty-five years of active
practice, I have perhaps found less
than a hundred—certainly not many
more- -that died of organic heart
disease! Diseased kidneys, liver,
spleen, stomach, blood, and nerves,
undermine the heart until it can per
form no more, and there arc other
conditions, each remote from the
heart, that do the same thing.
My opinion is, if men would cease
over-eating, they would reduce
“hc.art diseases” by half; overwork
and excesses kill—and at a time of
life when mature judgment in men
is most needed. Think about it.
