FIGHTING OFF SICKNESS
There are certain individuals who
!pride themselves on not giving in
to illness, or on fighting off sickness
as if this were something of which
they should be proud, or a feat to
boast of.
It is all very well not to complain
of every ache or pain, and certainly
there is no good purpose served in
exaggerating every bodily discom-
fort that presents itself. But the
person .who fails: to recognize the
:fact that his body is not doing its
work' properly and requires atteni
tion, or who remains at work when
he shott'd be in bed, is snaking e
rave mistake. •
Sick persons may (think that they
.rre brave to disregard a 'persistent
cough or shortness of breath, butt
their doing so may not only shorten
their .own days but .may cause them
to be atcually a menace to. others,
spreading disease to those with whom
they come into contact. •
sA lump in the breast may not ap-
appear• to be a real cause for serionii
consideration; particularly ifit is
painless. However, it is neglect of
such Iumps that results in cancer 'of
'the breast going on to a stage where
-there is little or no hope for the case..
'A persistent cough May seem to be
of.but minor importance, but it ma;i
be due to tuberculosis, which, if not
given prompt treatment before the
disease becomes advanced, will re -
,quire years of care and may. prove
atal.
Shortness of breath may. be the

THE SON OF THE MORNING
FOR CHRISTMAS
And what do I want for Christmas?
Perfumes and jewels to wear?
Nay, such were the gifts that kings
(bore
Whothought a Ring was there,
When in the darkness, on the hay,
A Babe in need of comfort lay.
Then what do I want for Christmas?
To watch a Star with you
In wonder, still as the shepherds';
To hear songs fill the blue,
And, dreaming of that Babe asleep,
To have a child's faith, sweet and
deep!

But I need slippers, so I know.

CHRISTMAS NIGHT ON THE
PLAINS
The cities have their colored light
and fires,
Their Christmas bells, their music -
echoing spires,
And here is utter silence, yet I think
This high arc bent above me, black
as ink,
Holds clearer chimes, and that great
silver star
Lit by the hand of God, is dovelier
far
Than all the fiare of fire and color-
ed light
That nen have hung upon the earth
tonight.
Silver and silence—.how they speak
His name!
This wide unpeopled land—this rade
of flame
Belong to Him, who loved the sit:p
encs SO.
A star was Isis own symbol long
This starlight starlight is so . white—these
plains so still—
And suddenly the great wide spaces
fill
With glory and a song rings high
and clear—
The plains belong to Him, and He
is here!
—By Grace Noll Crowell,
Vainly we offer each ample oblation;
Vainly with gifts would his favour
secure:
Richer by far is the heart's adoration;
Dearer to God are the prayers of
the poor.

ports that 19 cars of dates arrived
here to make a total of 33 cars since
the first of December. The dates
come from Basiah, Iraq.
The majority of the oars so far
are 'biiiled to Winnipeg Commission
Merchants, who state that they ex-

fered rice pudding by the steward.
"Rice pudding, sir."
"No --no, in' France we do not eat '

The American officers sat bolt up-

Frenchman. "Rice—vermin?" they,
said, in chorus.
