ELICIOUS aro a of browulug fowl, spicy

odors of mince meat and pudding, tantalizing fragrance of cakes and candies these are the gas-

ifcuraered torch bearers, so to speak, of

taa Christmas feasting, that are already beginning to slip through swinging doors to whet our holiday appetites. The wise housekeeper has found that the greater preparations she has been able to make In advance, the greater Is the success and the less the worry and confusion of the Christmas meals ; and she has also found that almost everything, oven the turkey or duck, may be prepared at least the day before. She should bear In mind, that whereas the heartiness of the Christmas dinner permits of the simplest possible breakfast and supper, still these meals should be carefully planned and served with some attention to the festal details that are often lavished only on the dinner. The breakfast table may have .or its centerpiece simply a pyramid of brightly

polished red apples, but a holly wreath laid about it or little twigs of the holly springing from it will ghe a gala touch. Boiled eggs may be served in a nest of Christmas greens, or baked eggs in green peppers on a holly decked platter. After all the seeds are removed from the peppers they should be dusted with pepper and salt before the eggs are broken into them, and a piece of holly may be laid across the top before they are served. Hot rolls may jalso be served In a nest of greens, and the batter cut into star shapes with a tiny cutter. Or If toast Is preferred, it fakes but a moment to fashion this Snto stars with a larger cutter, and place on a garnished plate. The decorations for the dinner table may be left undisturbed for the light luncheon In the evening. A delightful way to utilize the remnants of turkey Is to mix up a generous pan of baking powder biscuits and serve them In a way called "Biscuits en surprise." When they are done the top Is pried off carefully and enough of the Inside removed to form quite a little hollow. This) Is filled with the turkey that has been mixed with celery, a few capers and mayonnaise dressing, and the top of the biscuit is replaced. With coffee, cakes and nuts these will be found quite sufficient for supper, or, they may be served for eveniug re-) treatments, j And now for the Christmas dinner whose bursting fowl has been stnlklugj for weeks through Sonny's dreams, and whose luscious pies ami lighted puddings have filled his fancy.

Alt

We have another article that you might be interested in as a Christmas Purchase for your home A Sewing Machine We seii large numbers of these, and, in order to make the price attractive, we do net canvas for the sale of them. This would add too much to the expense, which in ths end, the customer pays. We save you this by coming to the store to buy. It will only take ten minutes of your time to step in the store and buy one, and the dealer who canvasses for -the sale of Sewing Machines, can not figure on an expense of less than from $10.00 to $15.00 on each sale made.

It is hardly probable that Santa Claus will deliver many automobiles for Christmas, but nevertheless you are thinking of getting one yourself, and we want to keep this matter before you. If you are going to get a touring car, there is nothing made that equals the E-M-F at the price. Ask the people who have used them. Ask about the light expense of upkeep. Ask about the satisfactory power, and the comfortable riding qualities.

DON'T OVERLOOK

Our Stock of

ROBES sumdl

At this Season of the Year

We carry a large variely including AUTOMOBILE ROBES of Extra large Sizes and Pretty Patterns

If it is a Runabout you want, compare the 1912 E-M-F, with other makes, even those quoted at much higher prices. Or if you want a lighter touring car or the neatest Runabout you ever saw, then see the Flanders "20."

Do You Need a New Storm Buggy? Well, we have one of the best Buggies, equipped with one of the most satisfactory closing doors that has ever been put on the market. Where the most of jobs 6f this description have light flimsy rubber pannels, these jobs have neat metal pannels, that insure better wear and neater appearance.

When it comes to power and speed, have you been reading the stunts these cars have been pulling off lately? It has been clearly demonstrated that they have the power, that they have the speed, that they have the comfort, that they have the endurance, and you all know there is no question as to the price being right, and what else can you ask for? Well we can't promise to furnish all these cars that the people will want unless you give us your order at a time when we can get them. You will remember that last year when other cars were begging for buyers, there was seven weeks that we could not even get an E-M-F, or Flanders. The condition will be the same this year when the season is on. To make a long story short, whatever you need, no difference in what line, come and see us. If you are from Missouri, we are sure we can "show you."
