CHRISTMAS -AGAIN
Christmas h mas. tigain;
And far and near,
The happy chimesare ringing clear;
'Chrishmae -again!' "•' "'
And the snow' lies' deep
Ove the fields Whet- the flowei's

'Christmas again?'
And the cheeAul sight,
Of mistletoe, evergreen, holly Bright;
Christmas again!,
.& d,,the firelight glow,
'Shining on faces I love and know.
-Christmas, again!
And through the years,
:The Angels' song rings in our ears;
And the night is still,
The Bells are chiming "Peace and
Gbodwill:'

One week more and. Christmas
will be over, with the excitement, the
hurry, the planning, the achieving,
:and we( shall settle down again to the
hmndrunn,of• life. For the enjoyment
•of the New Year holiday is mild
compared- to the high tension of
Christmas. It is a sort of an anti-
climax as ease -off, as it were. -
If anyone worked as hard and as
long hours any other week in the
Year as they do the week before
Christmas they would think .them-
selves very hard -worked indeed. But
few seem to mind it. ltfost folk

every limb, perhaps, but keen 'and
ready for anything, and no harm

ish enough to eat too much of foods.

but for' us,' and nobody realizes just
how very important Vit‘ are.. -Even
mothers of families, (and mothers.
of families are usually the most
selfish of mortals),- 'sometimes -get
to feeling this way" and, strangely
enough, all this thought for our-
selves
urselves does!nt bring happiness, just
the reserve. ' It is when we give of
time, talent, consideration,love, un-
stintingly that we are happy. So
"God bless Christmas," say 1 2 or it
brings such a good opportunity of
getting away from " oneself for a
spell.

Of course, every good housekeeper
has her Christuras• cake made weeks
'.ago and has it undergoing the process
of "ripening." You may not have
tried it yet or you may, like the
housekeeper I,knew once, be in the
habit of cutting it hefore Christmas,
just to see it is all right, and it may be
dwindling away, so I'm . going to
give 'you a nice new recipe. This
lady I speak of one Christmas decided
that the cake; should not be cut un-
til Christmas Day and when it was,
although she was a careful house-
wife, it was found that the centre
had not been• sufficiently baked, and
•fhe cake was not as successful as
usualOn seeing it her son,who
had pretested against having to wait
until Christmas to taste the cake,
reproachfully remarked: "Now,
Mother, you've Kept that cake so
long that mortification has set it."

ried it, will mean a saving ,` in the

The expens'e is incurred by, the

department, it is said, in giving a
special directory service to some mil-
lions of pieces of mail' which are
carelessly addressed. A suggestion
Which', has been forwarded is a cam-'
paign, among school children "as' a

lost time, effort and expense in•
handling mail from careless patrons.
The •proper, wrapping and addressing
of mail mere - than once has been

there are still some patrons of the
service who fail to heed 'the advice

INDIFFRRENCE OR IGNORANCE ology for this or future repetitions
In reading the vital statistics of
•Canada for the year 1928, one quite
naturally looks for the number of
deaths recorded opposite those dis-
'eases which modern knowledge, if ap-
plied, would place in the list of rare
•diseases. It would- be reasonable to
'expect that a disease for which there
is nor; only a specific cure, providing
it is used early, butalso a definite
means of prevention, would be a rare
disease.,' When we find that not only
is the disease not a rare .condition,
but. that -practically one out of every
hundreddeaths obcurring in Canada
is due to it, we are broeght to ask:
3s this the result of indifference or
`ignorance?
'We can hardly imagine that over
x'900 lives are sacrifice(] each.'ypar in
this country to indifference, We
think it surelymust be ignorance and,
for that reason, we repeat what 'so.
many of .our'readers• must have react
before. However,:. we offer no . ap-

combat the. ignorance that costs over
900 lives, not to mention the suffer-

family, but an -enemy which is doom-
ed to destruction just as soon -as all
unite to destroy him. health Depart-
ments are not to blame for dip-
theria's arrival; most of,them have
gone as far ,as they canto eliminate
this disease. It is 'a responsibility

ers of every parent or • guardian.
Seience has . provided a means by
which children may be immunized

It was the desire., of the church

PRICE AND QUALITY
' Did you ever enter a store and say "Give me the cheapest suit of
clothes you have in the house?" ' ' e
You certainly did not because you realize that price is not the
only consideration and that you must demand quality for`what you
buy, whether it is a house and lot or a paper of pins.
]You want the :best suit you can buy for the money, and the
same theory applies to all other lines of merchandise. The mere
fact that you go to another city and buy a suit for $10.00 does not
