F AN American, who - had not seen much of the world, should awake on Christmas ‘morn while a German, o French, English, Ital--14 ian, Swiss or Danish N Christmas celebration PPN was in progress in his ¥ £ SR vicinity, he would imag- ':’ ine himself within the Ay exclusive confines of a “ home for the mentally ] incompetent. The American Christmas is a matter-of-fact festive occasion. People begin buying presents a week before; they present them Christmas morning and the next day return to work, the entire affair forgotten until the following brings the season around again. . Not so in the countries across the water. They observe every tradition in the mother lands} they plan for weeks and the festivities which mark the birth of Jesus Christ are carried on for a week or more. The Christmas tree in Germany is allowed to remain decorated far into the next ¥ear, extending over a period of several months. : Unique ceremonies grace the Danish, French, Swiss and Scotch Christmas celebrations and that which the Teu,tons foster have been handed down 'from ages. In Mexico one of the treasured customs is the breaking of the Pinata, a {radition being connected with the lit;. le ceremony which ushers in Christn%?s day. A queeljly coni structed effigy of a woman is hung gup in a corner of a room and a child | blindfolded, armed with a stick, proi ceeds to dislodge the old woman from : her position close to the ceiling. When ’the feat is accomplished the presents ‘contained under the covering of the dress of the figure are distributed. - t The beauty of that little game is

the uncertainty attending the possibility of the . woman being dislodged and second, the uncertain.ty as to whether the less favored of the family 'circle will draw any presents from the treasure, | store beneath the skirts of the woman. . b Christmas, of course, is observed only in Christian countries, but some heathen, in fact, nearly ‘all of them, have one day or another on which to receive and send presents to their friends and others who are not friends. In countries ruled - by absolute monarchies, the rulers are sometimes afraid to open their gift receptacles for the rea-’ son that oftentimes treasonable persons inclose fancy little bombs not marked in the invoice. Of courfse such undesirable persons do not have any more Christmases to celebrate, affairs being arrang";ed in that manner if they are caught. ! While the Christmas idea is practically the same in most countries of the globe which observe the day, there is a great variety of presents and'a certain nation’s desire for gifts made in wide variance to that whi¢h the next door neighbor believes in. Germans as a rule give the children presents, most of which are made in this country, while Americans*are always particular about buying the babies toys marked “made ,in Germany.” 3 ) > A Frenchman told a clever little story at a Christmas banquet in Paris a year ago, which ran along on that line. He was enamoured with a beautiful young lady whose home was on Rue de Boulevarde. She was of artistic taste, so he studjed her desire in painting creations for three weeks before Christmas. At last he came to the conclusion that probably an oil painting by a noted French artist might please her. He took special paiss to hunt out’a store where he might procure one. He did and put several weeks' salary into the gift. e He had it delivered Christmas morning and received a cordial note of thanks from the young lady, who unfortunately had not thought to purchase anything for him. This, of course, was embarrassing to both parties, but that evening while fondling the creation in his presence she happened to scan the back of the portrait. It said:’ *“Made in Hoboken, N. J.” She was in the midst of thanks and an embarrassing explanation of why she hadn’t sent him a present, when she ‘moticed the birthmark of the oil painting. She - stopped, and they haven't spoken to each other . ginice, according to the story. ~ |

is taken into consideration by some persons. The young man, probably, was sorry for the abrupt termination of his friendship with the young lady, but perhaps it was for the best. That was his version of it, anyhow. e Most English speaking nations celebrate Christmastide just as we Americans do, but each has its little self-made variation. In Italy they celebrate with a grand dance, as a rule, and they take great pains to be attired in gaudy raiment. The Danish are very deliberate about their Christmas festivities and great fetes and gifts are the order of the day. The Swiss are fervent in their worship of the Saviour on that day and the little children dressed for gala affairs parade the streets in order that their parents may look at them and compare them with the “kids next door.” Many persons who have read much history and who have been able to persuade themselves that the present century is all wrong as to the date of the birth of Christ, are skeptical as to whether we should observe the sacred day when we do. Estimates as to when Christ was born extend clear from June to January 26. Prior to the fourth century Christmas was not observed on December 25, for there was no period of uniformity in observing the day among the early churches. The skeptical persons who have studied the thing from end to end say. that on December 25 it rained in Judea and then attention is called to the Biblical statement that shepherds were watching their flocks when Christ was born. Now how could they watch their flocks when it was raining? is the argument of the unbelievers that December 25 is the correct day of feast. One person who is not skeptical declared that perhaps they didn’t have sense-enotgh to come in out of the rain in those days. - But of course that is no argument. The chances are the calendars have been changed so much that the original December 25, if hunted down, would be found flirting with May 1. Of course the correct day upon which to worship has much to do with the feeling of Christians in the matter, but at the same time, if the event is properly observed the time pf observance is but a detail. ; Many good churchmen who seldom attend church on Sundays find Christmas an excellent ‘day to attend church because it only falls on Sunday once in seven years and it doesn't break in on their weekly holiday morning nap. = Millions of dollars are spent every year in every country of the globe for presents. It is declared in mercantile circles that the United States in

T or dimes jingle merrily into their little tin boxes. vas Behind this generous giving is a superstitious belief that amid risks like these it is well to propitiate Fate all you can. For Fate is a relentless old machine, and when once its wheels begin grinding, no power on earth can stop them. The “Rule of Three” is centuries old. You may hear of it out on the ocean, in the steel mills, in the

‘railroad camps, and down in the mines. ' And you find it up here on the jobs :, in the skies. <5 “Believe it?’ said an old foreman.! “You bet, they believe it.” A | “Do you?”I asked. - ; “Well,” he said, “all I can say is this: It may be a spell or it may be because of the way the whole crew is expecting it.

proportion to population {= the biggest national distributor of gifts.. There w®mre—many concerns in Ger many, England and France which confine themselves exclusively to the manufacture of gifts such as are exchanged only during the celebration of the birth of Christ. Besides being a holiday which should be devoted to worship of Jesus Christ, it is a day which is looked forward to by merchants as a big source of profit. in other countries, as in America, there are many small Christmas tragedies enacted because of the dislike which some folks take to gifts and because of the thoughtlesgness of others in omitting some of their friends. Some make it a rule, and advertise it well, that they have decided to confine gifts to the immediate family circle, so that none will take offense if they receive no gifts from their hitherto cherished friends. Of course the ones who are notified of the change in the routine are careful to scratch off the names of the friends who have eliminated them so that when Christmas comes there is no. needless embarrassment. The poets once sang: “It is not the gift, but the spirit of the giver,” and& also “Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth.” There are dozens of little

Christmastide axioms of that kind which are used and misused toward the end of the year. That first saying has been cleverly shifted about in this mahner: “It is not the gift, but the price which the giver putteth into the gift.” : The proper Christmas spirit as told from the pulpit is far from that which many follow out in selecting presents. Mother countries exhibit less interest in costly gifts than does America. Travelers in countries of the old world have been surprised at the great number of Christmas presents which are home-manufactured. Several weeks before the glad event, the families sit themselves down in their rooms and start, secretly, work upon the Christmas gifts. In the country districts of cer tain parts of America this custom is still retained

By DR. J. T. ALLEN Food Specialist : Author ef ““Eating for a Purpose,” *“The Netw Go:pellg_tt: Health,””

~ (Copyright, by Joseph B. Bowles.) WHAT DO YOU EAT AND WHY?

“I eat what I like,” would be the answer of the average person scanning the bill of fare in the average restaurant. And to eat what you like because you like it, is the best possible reason. To eat what one doesn’t like is good for nobody. It has been shown in the laboratory that “appetite juice” is the first requirement for good digestion. - Animals in their natural state never eat when they are not hungry, and they never eat what they don’t like; and this together with abundance of fresh air, water, exercise and normal mental conditions, inhibits sickness, except by accident, while man is always ailing more or less. And the chief cause of all the ailments, not mechanical or mental, to which flesh is heir, is wrong eating. : It is generally admitted that most sick!ness, temporary and chronic, originates in the derangement of the digestive system; auto-intoxication, that is, self-poisoning, induced by absorbing into the blood the poisons preduced in the food tube by fermentation resulting from eating too much, from hurried eating, from eating too many kinds of food at the same meal. Many of the most advanced students of the cause of disease now believe that the one cause is the retaining of waste matter in the system, which is a necessary result of wrong feeding. Of course these abnormal conditions are traceable, in the last analysis, to wrong thinking, and they can be set right only by changing the thought. And it is a happy sign of the times that the study of the food question is receiving so much attention. “]l eat what I can get.” This would be the answer of many an unfortunate; but whether his case is worse than that of him who can get what he wants to eat, is doubtful. Is the foreigner who comes to America and changes his diet from black bread, a few vegetables; apples and grapes to an abundance of highly-seasoned foods, meat, fine white bread, pickles and pie—is he fortunate, in the matter of diet? The statistics say, No. It is a peculiarly interesting fact that the mortality from cancer is much higher among foreign-born Germans, Irish and some other nationalities in this country than among the Ameri-‘ can born of those races. Cancer, In‘ the opinion of the late Dr. Nicholas Senn and other eminent authorities, is a disease of over-indulgence, and, we believe indulgence in flesh meat. The Italians, Greeks, Bohemians and others who continue to live on the simple diet of their home countries’ show a low rate of death from these diseases. The foreign-born Irish and German peasants sooner fall victims to cancer and tuberculosis when they adopt the extravagant mixed diet of the average American family, because they are more susceptible than those who have become habituated, to a certain degree) to the more extravagant diet of the new eountry. 1t has been said that we are a na@on of dyspeptics, and the cause is aysily found. Certainly, the natural way is to eat what one likes. But, wfortunately, many, if not all of us, are not natural, in eating as in many other things. How, then, can we depend upon our inclinations to tell us what to eat? Nearly everybody now admits that intoxicants are necessarily injurious, yet many have a desire for them. Shall they follow the inclination to drink what they like, merely because they like it, or, shall they not rather govern the appetite by reason? And does not the same argument apply, in some degree at least, to eating? '~ This line of inquiry leads to the question, “What shall we_eat to secure the greatest enjoyment of life? What shall we eat to enjoy the greatest degree of health, the most vigorous, "happy and useful life? ~ These questions cannot be answered finally °*by laboratory investigation alone. Only actual test of the effects of foods with careful allowance for personal factors and varying abnormal conditions, can lead to wise conclusions. And in my next article I shall give the result of my own experiments. v T ¥ * * * , Why do you eat? “Because 1 like to eat. It is one of the pleasures of life.” This will be your answer, if you are an average reader. If not you are abnormal. To be a good raan, one must first be a good animal, and the first requirement in a good animal is to be a good feeder. : It is a well-established principle in ’ psychology that we do best what we = do unconsciously. What must become " of a man who is so conscious of his digestion that he must take 0 many chews for each mouthful and eat certain prescribed foods? Is it not possible that he may find it necessary to lie awake at night to see that his heart béats the right number to the minute?

It is common]y said that if a man has a good stomach he doesn't know that he has a stomach, that so soon as he finds out that his food digests, there is indigestion. How often we hear a man say, “I wish 1 could eat anything, just as I used to eat, without giving it a thought.” The physician is often called upnn to deal with cases in which people have destroyed the!idlgsstion by thinking about it; as the story goes— : | The centipede was happy quite, Till the frog for mischief asked him, Pray which foot comes after which?

And ever after he rolled@ helpless m the ditch.

The man who eats because he likes +0 eat has much in his favor. If there is only one reason for eating he is fortunate in having chosen it, despite the adage, formulated in some hermi--tage or monastry, centuries ago, “Live not to eat, but eat to live.” The latest word from the physiological chemist is that “appetite juice” is one of the :chief requirements of good digestion. > i s 8 * But there is another side to the question, Why do we eat? The athlete who eats what he likes, as he likes and when he likes, cannot win the race. Paul advised taking a little wine for the stomach’s sake, even, presumably, though it might be distasteful, and the highest medical authorities are unanimous in prescribing certain diet to be eaten under certain circumstances. Evidently ‘it is not salways best to eat as one feels disposed., :

The lower animals are able to select their food by instinct, but man has lost this power to a large extent,and it must be supplemented by reason, by science. By living in unnatural conditions imposed by civilizas tion, we have acquired unnatural appetites that are destructive of health, physical and moral. A man may drink a pint of brandy ‘because he wants it, but who will say that that is reason sufficient? We have an appetite for flesh, but are we sure that such appetite is normal, that we are the better for eating meat because we feel disposed to eat it? Is it, as vegetarians claim, an acquired appetite, like that for tea and coffee, which are said, by most authorities, to be injurious? It would seem that the obvious answer to the question, Why do you eat? is, “Because I am hungry.” Yet one who habitually eats too much cannot be hungry. The desire for food arises frequently from that gnawing sensation resulting from the fermentation of superfluous food, producing a condition of auto-intoxica-tion. In fasting there is an almost irresistible desire for food the first two or three days; then the appetite leaves one for several days; there is a gain in strength with loss in weight; and when a distinct desire for food returns it is a natural hunger, easily satisfied; but this natural appetite in many cases does not come for 30 days or more, showing that the former appetite was unnatural. We do not feed a horse on the theory that he should be guided solely by his inclinations in eating and drinking, but largely by our knowledge of what is best for him under the artificial conditions under which he lives and that he may be able to do his best work. And why should not a human being have the benefit of such knowledge? Should not the child, especially, have the benefit of right feeding? g

.With all due allowance for the fact that one man’s meat may be another man’s poison, that authorities are not unanimous on foods and feeding, yet, it is true that there is a science of human feeding, that we have lost our instinct for determining what the system needs for nutrition and therefore appetite should be to some extent guided by reason. Certainly one .should eat because he enjoys it, but also, whether he be an athlete, a laborer or a professional man, because, eating largely determines efficiency, and because health depends upon food more than upon anything else except pure air, pure water, and right thinking which is fundamental.

Savages in Civilization.

Civilization does not change passion. The savage lives. Nothing alters the elemental emotions. Love changes to jealousy, jealousy to hate and hate to murder as swiftly and ruthlessly on some quiet little back gtreet of small homes or on some wide and respectable thoroughfare as in the jungle. No savage land has more murderssthan parts of our cities and states. \ , The customs, the restraints and the outer veneer of civilization perpetually deceive. Men and women, particularly women, look on life as a mere merry dance, in which partners can be teased by a change and changed at a whim. But man remains, even more than woman, under the guise and disguises of civilization, the elemental savage whose passions boil to love or death at a touch.—Philadelphia Press.

The Taiklng Pots.

“Yes, these pots of mine are all right,” said the potter. “They don’t talk, though.” 5 “No pots do.” : “Don’t they? Look here.” He took from the shelf a strange, crude pot, daubed yellow and blue, that had the shape of a duck. He filled it with water, then he poured the water out again. “Quack, quack, quack!” said the pot distinctly. Every gurgle was a distinct quack. “There’s art for you,” said the potter. “Every gurgle of that duck pot is a quack. Wonderful Aztec art! And I have an Aztec pig pot that grunts like a pig, and a dog pot that barks like a dog. Wonderful chaps, those Aztec potter fellows! I wish I knew their secret. Imagine an Aztec banquet,” he said, after a pause. “Pots filled, you know, with wine. And every time you pour yourself a drink, ‘Quack!’ go the ducks, ‘Bow-wow!’ go the dogs. Regular pandemonium!” .

They have yet - to learn the joy that comes from ta- - king an independent tack and making the work subservient to the worker; from being the master instead of the slave. To many women, the bughear of housework is dishwashing. Why wash dishes three times a day? Do it in the morning, when fresh; scrape the dinner dishes, stack in a large pan filled with cold water, and cover. Treat the supper dishes the same war, and do not allow- your coanscience 1o keep you awake one single hour. It will not make the task too heavy the next morning, if you try my way. After washing each piece in hot suds and rinsing in hot (not warmj), water, put them, piece by piece, in the . wire drainer (price ten ceants), as nearly on edge or aslant, as possible, and let stand until dry., Glasses, of course, and silver, must Ye wiped; but the former can be left filled, after wsing, and the latter put into a pitch- ] ‘er or deep jug until some odd minute { when one is not so weary with welldoing that another turn of the screw seems next to impossible.—The Housekeeper. 2 A Seasonable Appetizer. . Wash four large, firm ripe tomatoes. Cut across horizontally and sScocp out ‘contents, carefully preserving shape of cups. Put cups on ice, also the pieces scoopéd out, cut very small, till near ’aerving time. Put through the chop;per two crisp green peppers of good size, minus stems and seeds, also half ia medium-sized onion. Just before serving mix with the cut tommm salt to taste, a very little and one-fourth teaspoonful of sugar. Serve in the tomato cups with garnish of parsley or nasturtium leaves or curied mustard. Sometimes I cut the whole tomato in small pieces and serve im small glass dishes. If I have not encugh tomatoes, a small cucumber crisped in ice water and cut in little bits is an addition and to.some palates an im- - provement.—San Francisco Call.

Dried Pumpkin for Pies.

Take a thin paring from the pumpkin, scrape out the seeds, and cut inte slices an inch thick. Cut these crosswise in thin slices, spread on plates, and dry in a moderate oven, in the warming closet of the range, or in a small fruit drier. Store in paper basgs, tin boxes such as often accumuiate around the house, or in fruit jars. The main thing is to put it bevond the reach of insects or dampness. To use dried pumpkin soak it over night in more than twice as much water as is needed to cover. Cook in the same water until tender and the water is almost entirely evaporated, then use according to recipe, for stewed fresh pumpkin. : ‘ = Good Meat Preservers. k\L A good meat preserver -is a box as large as you can make Toom for in the refrigerator, the top and bottom of which are of wood, the sides of wire netting. Stout hooks are screwed into the inside of the top, and ome of the netted sides-is hinged like a door. Meat hung,in this box will remain un-. tainted and sweet’ much longer®than when hung upon the side of the refrigerator. If you have a cool cellar; keep the meat box, thus prepared, upon a shelf in the darkest corner. The netting excludes insects, yet allows the air to enter, and by drying the surface, forms an impervious coating, which will keep in the juices. : i French Sandwiches. L ' ' I&\ one is tired of the ordinary sanéwich for an afternoon tea or card party the following one may be a Tefreshing change: v .- Chop one cupful of white meat of _chicken, three olives, one gherkin and a tablespoonful of capers. » To this add half a pint of mayon‘naise dressing, which should be mads quite thin with a tablespoonful of tarragon vinegar. = ‘ : " This is enough to make a pile of sandwiches. It should be spread on thin slices of sandwich bread, with the crust cut off. ; » "~ Luncheon Dish. : . Boil a good-sized chicken until done. Separate from bones and cut up as if for a salad. -To this put a coifee cup of bread or cracker crumbs, a coffée cup of milk, a heaping tablespoonful of butter, salt and pepper to taste Mix and put in a bowl or pan and steam till hot through. As it is served cover with cream sauce and mushrooms. To make sauce, take one pint of sweet milk. Let it come to a boil and then stir in two teaspoonfuls of flour previously mixed with cold *ﬂk. : a spoonful of butter, and can of mushrooms. L . Marshmallow Fudge. ; Two and one-half cups brown sugar, one-half cup white sugar, one-half cap cream, pinch cream of tartar. Boil ten minutes, then add onegquarter pound marshmallows, and boil two minutes longer. Add one cup slightly salted, broken walnuts, after removing from fire, and beat on the back fc: range. (By so doing the candy does not cool so quickly, and you can eat it longer, thereby improving it.) Pour in buttered tin to cool. | Kw& Blankets. | The warmest _cheapest co : and sew according to size of bed. Put ma‘a‘ ‘;é«s ;“ . :1: ,r Farn. . Tha CHOAE Kt VINE W U S 0 SEan Aei R S T
