Announcing ffie Birth of a King and Savioi |X FACT and fancy, walk by nlghi I'lhc sqmit-wnlled streets of old-tliw Betlitelieni. A bright star hangs abovt the house of David—the old Inn oi Chlnihnm. Homes are emptied, will fright and awe the peoplo stand gaz Ing nt the naming herald. To t lit south and west a cloud of Pre liai lowered over the fields of Boaz, where once Both gleaned barley behind the reapers. The night air is burdened w lth silent melodies. The strange starlight mantles the village with a stranger happiness. Strange omens crowd the hour. People are gathering down by the old Inn. They stand in silence; men are as voiceless as the night. Only the few have dared to whisper. A man comes out of the Inn, now nnd then he presses his lips against a neighbor’s ear nnd whispers: “Strangers from Nazareth—a child Is born,’’ Now the people fall back to make room for a company of night watchers from the sheep flocks, their begrimed faces bright with excitement and wonder. They are from the Boaz hills. They tell excidedly the story of angels singing praises to God and announcing the birth of a King and Savior. They have come to see. Follow them through the old house into the adjoining caves, where even meekeyed beasts share the wonder of the night. There are the strangers from Nazareth, nnd there in the manger their new-born Child. The simple shepherds kneel before the Child and tell the story of the sky. They declare the Child is a King. Scarcely are the shepherds gone before a slight commotion heralds the coming of bearded strangers, travel stained, but richly garbed. They had seen the star months before and they had followed from the east. It was a king they had come to find. They bow down and worship. They pile gold beside the swaddled babe and till the cave with the odor of incense. An elder from the synagogue brings a scroll and reads, "And His name shall be called Counselor, the Mighty God, the everlasting Father, the prince of Peace.” Then understand—you have witnessed the mightiest miracle of earth. Here is the place where Divinity became humanity that humanity might become divinity.—William L. Gaston. (©. 1927, Western Newspaper Union.)

Scores of children were blinded during Christmas week last year by shots from air rifles, used in all sections of the country, and through the explosion of fireworks. When Animals Kneel There are many quaint animal superstitions connected with Christmas night. One of them is the legend that tire oxen kneel in their stalls to worship the infant Christ at midnight on His birthday’. For Christmas Table Nothing wore striking could be Chosen ns a decoration for the Christmas table than a pair of sliver peacocks or a large pheasant, either in Silver plate or in pottery. An Old Christmas Custom Blessing the apple trees is a Christ bias custom still observed in the Eng slish counties of Sussex and Devon shire. i Christmas in Italy In southern Italy a Novena is begun nine days before Christmas and little models Representing the nativity are built in village homes.

A terrible disaster was pre- ’ vented by the fact that the bomb expioded in an empty house, just before ( the evening crowds gathered. The bomb that rocked the exclusive South Short hotel district was aimed, polled believe, at a vacant storeroom . in the Cooper-Carlton building in i which a business concern is sehedul- . ed to open January Ist. The store- , room adjoined the main floor lobby. Investigators, seeking a motive for the blast, learned there is strong sentiment against business encroachment in the fashionable Hyde Park district, ’ in the center of which stands the Cooper Carlton. — o Widow Receives Pension The law firm of Lenhart, Heller and Schurger, cf this city, has received notice from tire United States Pension Department that Mrs. Rosa Belle Ramey, widow of Moses Ramey Cival War veteran who died in Decatur in September 1926, has been granted a pension on S3O per month.

If it t H extremely cold and icebound, too, set out pans of water at intervals, in feeding remember to distribute food in about the same place each time and it If surprising bow quickly the birds will come to know that help awaits them there. Trapping Is Good In Southern Part Os State Fur dealers are almost “snowed under" with hides here. Since the opening of I the hunting and flapping season Nov. 10 for certain fur-bearing animals, all dealers of the county report rushing business. One Greensburg fur market is handling 300 hides daily and has over 2,000! now on hand. This gives some idea of j the extensive hunting and trapping that is going on. Die market this year is reportojf higher than last. Some of the furs are less valuable than others, but the inefturse in price of some more valuable skins overcomes the decline in the lower grade. o • Finds Straight Roads Are Most Dangerous Olympia, Wash., Dec. 13—(UP)— “Dead man's curve" and other such■ nicknames for sections of highways may be fitting but evidence gathered by the Washington state highway patrol indicates that it’s the straight sti etches which are dangerous. The highway patrol has cheeked the Pacific highways this year in an attempt to determine the cause of accidents with a view cf eliminating such causes whenever possible. It was discovered that nicknames given to curves, generally are now’ deserved. The patrolman devised a map of the highway and placed a colored pin at the point where an accident occurred. The straightaways bulge with these pins now while the curves are marked by very few of them. Regular stahe meeting of the Blue Lodge. Tuesday, December 13, 1927.

High blood pressure, indicated by hard arteries, heart palpitation, dizziness and difficulty in breathing, is the penalty of our abnormal habits of living. We place too great a strainon the vital organs, especially the liver. The liver becoming "limp’’ or sluggish, fails to cleanse the blood of the toxic poisons formed in food waste. The whole system then becomes toxic, with stomach, kidneys, heart and blood vessels affected, It is generally recognized that the liver occasionally needs a little help. There is nothing better for this, as medical men know, than a little ox gall. Ox gall has 'ten found to be a great Stimulant for the liver. The genuine, pure ox gall is to be had, dainty and tasteless, in the form of Dioxol tablets. Each tablet represents 10 drops of pure ox gall and costs less than 2c at good druggists. To be sure of getting the genuine, look for the name Dioxol and picture of ox’s head on the package.
