Christmas Shopping Should Be Simple

jjgW YORK, Nov. 12.—<U.R>—Given a full purae, It should be a compari,tivelv simple, certainly a fascinating matter, to do one's Christmas shoppThe shops offer all manner of temptations at all manner of costs. 8 There ire so many things not usually seen, such as the choice of a fur Be t or the gift of a fan for we are to learn to use them again, even the possibility of hair ornaments of one sort or another and the endless array of

jewelrv novelties. Everything seems to have been dipped in the rainbow. Whatever the plans of ,he weather man, it will certainly not be a "white Christmas.’’ True pearls and crystals add their sparkle to the scene but there are jeweled novelties as red as the holly or as green as its leaves. One has a feeling somehow thaf this will not be a year of useful giving, but one which will be characterised by the gift of beauty and frivolity. There are endless enamel trinkets. There are lighters and cigarette cases, holders and all manner of smoking hits as ‘'ladylike” as they were once essentially masculine. There are, walking sticks, too, and cuff links and belts though the mode is at its most feminine. “She” will not be outraged this Christmas if your jewelry gift is valueless judged by any standard other than style. Amusing jewelry novelties fashioned of ermine tails contribute an element of surprise and charm.

BETTER DEFENSE ASKED IN TALK (CONT.IMI'KO FROM F*GK ONE) was ever devised." The chief executive spoke of the new economic and political relationship between the United States and the rest of the world. He said it was plain that. Europe and the United States lacked in mutual understanding. and he called on European governmnets to “judge us a little more closely by our own records, and especially find out in what direction we believe our real interess to lie” in formulating their attitudes toward America. “If we could secure a more complete reciprocity in good will,” he said, "the final liquidation of the balance of our foreign debts, and such further limitalon of armaments as would be commensurate with the treaty renouncing war, our confidence in the effectiveness of any additional efforts on our part to assist in ths further progress of Europe would be greatly increased.” o WILL CONTINUE MYSTERY PROBE (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) conscious, was found in the Lake Bluff police station basement, witli her hands, feet and head severely burned. She said she had inflicted the burns herself by thrusting her feet, arms and shoulders through the small door of a hot water furnace. She died three days later and just before she breathed her last she mumbled “they did it, they did it.” All efforts to obtain another statement before she died were futile. Miss Knaak's family is not satisfied with the jury's verdict and will retain investigators if necessary. o Julius Roop Arrested Julius Roop was arrested Sunday night by Policeman Burl Johnson and placed in jail. It was stated that an affidavit charging public intoxication will be filed against him in city court tong lit.

Elderly people whose lives are burdened by rheumatism, weak kidneys and stomach trouble, will find a message of good cheer in a> statement recently made by Mr. Levi H. Paul, aga 72, who lives on Joe Street, Route 5, Huntington, Ind. He says: “For 32 years, I have had kidney trouble. My back ached constantly, and at times felt like it would break. I have had to get up as often as eight times a night. 1 had pains in the back of my head, and my shoulders were so stiff and painful that at times I couldn’t lift my left arm to comb my hair. I had to take laxatives all the time for constipation, and my stomach would pain and bloat with gas every time I ate. I am thankful for the message that persuaded me to give Viuna a trial. Already, I’m a different man. My backache is gone, and I can lift my arms in the air without trouble or pain, and I am sleeping fine. My bowels are in good shape again, and I can eat anything without a bit of distress. I’m even eating radishes and onions, for the first time in years. I only wish I had known of Viuna years ago, as it has brought me the relief that other medicines failed to give.” Viuna acts promptly on sluggish bowels, lazy liver and weak kidneys. It purities the blood, clears the skin, restores appetiteiuid digest ion. and brings new strength and energy to the whole body. Take a bottle on trial. Then if you're not glad you tried Viuna, your money rvill l>e refunded. $1 at druggists or mailed postpaid by Iceland Medicine Co., Indianapolis, Ind VIUNA 'I he H'onder Medicine Sold By CALLOW & KOIINE
